How far would you be willing to go to get an A on a test?

That question plagues seventeen-year-old Laurel Anderson when she is confronted about the possibility of not graduating from high school towards the end of her senior year.

A plan was made with friends at a sleepover. But everything goes horribly wrong, and they all vow to keep what happened that night a secret.

Then Laurel meets Jace Messina whose hot and cold attraction toward her becomes intriguing when she takes a chance on an offer from him that she can’t refuse.

But as soon as she starts to have a glimmer of hope, everything falls apart. Bad decisions are not forgotten–especially by someone who has their eye on her for vengeance.

Blitz : Through the Veneer Time

 Synopsis:

If not for “The Ghost”—her FBI husband’s gruesome case—Siena Forte’s life would have been perfect. But not when the D.C. serial killer is hunting women like her, and when her husband is so unsettled by this case, he refuses to discuss it. It’s a miracle her art career is thriving at all. And not only her career. When Siena lands a medieval mural commission at the National Gallery of Art, she discovers a bizarre knack for astral projecting to her past life. In a lucky strike, her visions of love and prominence in medieval Ireland are just the creative inspiration she seeks.

What Siena doesn’t know is her vivid depiction of the past exposes her to someone she has met before—the serial killer, reborn in this century just like her. But when a vicious attack from the past reverberates into the present, Siena’s life unravels in a chilling parallel. Silenced and alone, she discovers the true reason for her visions. They’re not the creative inspiration they seemed, but a harbinger of her centuries-old revenge vow, and the killer cannot be stopped until she fulfills it. But there is another person from the past with unfinished business—her husband. And another unwelcome déjà vu—their crumbling marriage, once again precipitated by the serial killer’s crime.

Does Siena have what it takes to carry out her ancient vow?

“a fantastic story…with many surprises and exquisite intimacy. …an excellent read for romance fans and anyone new to the genre.” -Literary Titan

A startling revelation. A secret that speaks to who we are and who we hide. A choice that forces one heartbreaking question: Can their love survive?

Quinn and Jonathan’s journey continues in Entirely, the third novel in the Transformation series. Outfitting a wedding barn and planning Becca’s reception has Quinn furiously busy and—except for a stinging writing rejection—optimistic.

Until Octavia calls with an urgent plea.

Quinn can’t refuse Octavia's request, while Jonathan sees red. The erotic arrangement she proposes to make it up to him yanks him straight out of his comfort zone. He rises to the challenge, though, taking them to stratospheric heights of pleasure and closeness.

When a shocking discovery forces Quinn to make an impossible choice, will their story end with a chasm of hurt and betrayal between them, or can they find their way back to each other?

Blitz : Social Vampire

Synopsis:

At a new school, you get a chance to reinvent yourself, so…why not be a vampire?

Gordon is hiding something. Is it the fact that he’s secretly a vampire? No, of course n-wait. Yes. That’s exactly what he’s hiding. Let’s go with that.

So when this nerdy teen moves to a small town where all the kids are obsessed with vampire fiction, he reinvents himself as their dream character: dark & brooding, cool as hell, and overly susceptible to stabs through the heart.

While rivaling the alpha male jock, garnering the attention of the most popular girl in his class, and forming a hilarious friendship with the girl next door (the only one who knows his secret), Gordon might find that his new school is the perfect place for him to shine-or, better yet, sparkle.

But if his classmates dig up the truth, it’ll be the nail in his coffin…

Will romance hit its mark when true love is the target?

Desperate for a fresh start, Rena Burke journeys from Texas to Oregon with only her father’s pistol and a plodding old mule for company. She takes a job working with explosives at a mine, spends her free time emulating her hero Annie Oakley, and secretly longs to be loved.

When tragedy strikes, will the two of them be able to release past wounds and embrace the possibilities tomorrow may bring?

Book review : Kindling : Prequel to rage of the Immortals

 Book review :

Kindling is a poignant and beautifully written prequel , emotionally charged fantasy novel. It delves deep into the complexities of love, sacrifice, and protection and explores the lengths people are willing to go to keep the ones they love safe. 

The story revolves around two brothers, Cifer, who rules the Underworld, and Atom, the king of Heaven. Both brothers are kings in their own realms. They are two of the countless offspring of God and Goddess, Dave and Davie. Cifer has a tremendous amount of affection for his younger brother, Atom, and he tends to look after him constantly.

Cifer and Ivprith, the lady of the wild, have developed feelings for one another and intend to marry in the near future. Atom, on the other hand, went through the exact same thing when Cifer introduced him to Ivprith; he was immediately fallen for her, but he buried his feelings for her deep down inside of him.

But when she crosses paths with Atom, the swoon-worthy King of Heaven, and the two of them quickly develop friendship and become support systems for each other. Vishaad, a warrior Ukhab who thrives on others' suffering, steps in at this point and sets his sights on Atom as his prey. It is intriguing to read to what extent they go to save Atom from Vishaad.

The author has well penned the storyline depicting the extent to which one can go to save the person one loves. The extremeties are expressed in an adroit manner leading to express fear of losing close one whether right or wrong. Language is lucid and the characters are well plotted.

I liked reading this book and would recommend this book to all.

Happy Reading!

Book review : The Shadow Children

 Book review :

The Shadow Children is the second book in the Sloane and Maddie: Peril Awaits series. Twists and turns, witty humor and a “didn’t see that coming” story. Great writing, fast-paced and entertaining.

Sloane and Maddie should be enjoying their holiday away together but they always seem to get themselves involved in a case. This time it is children that have gone missing. Within the tunnels of the historic port city of Savannah, fourteen-year-old Andi Leland has her mind set on freedom—not just for herself but for all the other teens who have come before her. But it is not to be. As Andi’s dragged into the hellhole that would have them all sold to the highest bidder, she hears the strangled cries of a fellow captive echoing from the room below. When the silence comes, she knows she will never see that girl again. And she wonders … Who will save them now? 

 I love Maddie and Sloane and the way they go about trying to solve this case. Always a great read and can't wait for the next book in this series. The author has well penned the thrilling storyline with so much intriguing factor to keep the reader hooked up.

I liked reading this book and would recommend this to all mystery book lovers. I am thankful to @katieandbreypa for providing me this book in return of an honest review.

Happy Reading!
