Jaguar Sun (The Jaguar Sun Series 1) by Martha Bourke

Kindle ][ Kindle uk ][ Nook ][ Smashwords ][ GoodReads

This story is definitely interesting. Maya is Mayan, whose grandmother holds very dear the ancient ways of their people. She tells Maya a few certain things (I won't ruin the story for you) and Maya pretty much flips out over what she's told. Though I suppose if I were in her situation I'd probably freak out too even if it wasn't as uncommon in the story as it is in the real world.
I quite enjoyed Maya's narritive, though she "talked" in the narration as if she weren't exactly seventeen (she gave the aire of a fifteen year old), her little quips are very funny and there were many many moments when I'd crack a smile or burst out with a laugh while I read.
It's very easy to slide into Maya's world. You easily get lost in the characters and backdrop.
The Mayan culture is woven through out this story in amazing ways. Even while the reader enjoys the detailed adventure Maya and the others embark on, so much is learned about the lore and beliefs of the people.
I truly enjoyed the book and look forward to getting the second so I can continue the story to see what happens next.
I give this book 5 of 5 paws

Wolf Protector (Federal Paranormal Unit 1) by Milly Taiden

Kindle ][ Kindle uk ][ Nook ][ Smashwords ][ GoodReads

This is a well written book. The underlayings of the author's hometown are woven beautifully into the characters making them more realistic in demeanor.
I particularly like how they all have different abilities that none of the others know about. Very mysterious. The chapters are a bit lengthy but that's not a problem for the seasoned reader. You'll find yourself immersed in the story and won't even realise how much you've read until you snap back to reality anyway.
By chapter 4 it was apparent to me who the killer was (But I'm the kind of person everyone hates playing Clue with too), how the team totally bypassed that, especially Erica with what she knew the killer had said to his victims, is beyond me. I blame the sexual frustration between Erica and Trent on that one.
The intimate scenes are steamy. Milly's style will have you squirming as you read Trent and Erica's escapades.
Although the storyline is a bit predictable, if you're a lover of murder mysteries and sex you'll fall in love with this book and eagerly await book two.
I give this book 4 of 5 paws

Intangible (Intangible 1) by J.Meyers

Kindle ][ Kindle uk ][ Nook ][ Smashwords ][ GoodReads

If you read Intuition, the beginning of this book comes as no shock. There is one major difference between this version and the one in Intuition, aside from the difference in location, is that this time the vision is longer and in far more detail.
J.Meyers' writing flows like a sweet symphony. I wondered as I read if she's even aware of the story she's unfolded upon the masses. The story seemingly wrote itself in its fluency using Meyers as a vessal to make itself known. Intuition and Indomitable only give a mere taste, a tease of the abilities this author has.
I fell in love with the two shots.. even if I read Indomitable out of order. (for those that don't know Indomitable, Jonas' story, it technically 1.5 coming in between Intangible and Imaginable) You'll cheat yourself of the introduction to Jonas in Intangible reading it first.
Anyway, Meyers writes in a way that's rarely seen this day in age. The words flow through your mind and you soon forget that you're even reading a book as the words come alive frame by frame in your mind's eye and suddenly you're the characters.
I love how indomitable and intangible flow so well together! the same chapter from two different points of view. It was amazingly done as well! Jonas seems to be a stranger to those who read indomitable before this book. Just as Sera and Feyth were seemingly strangers to the reader even if they'd read intangible first.
That's an amazing gift few authors have. to take the same scene and make it seem all brand new. Kudos J!!

Romantic Tales: Bedtime Stories Episode 1 (Season 1) by Various Authors

                                                                               

Kindle ][ Kindle uk ][ Nook ][ GoodReads

This is a collection and as thus I can not rightly rate the whole without rating each story there in.
Lets begin..

1. Crave by Ty Langston (Chapters 1-4)
This story sets itself up beautifully. You meet Harper a journalist for the local paper who is alsoa music lover. Her boss cons her into going to a concert for an up and coming band. While that normally isn't her beat, the band itself ties into a cold case she'd worked on.
The way this story is written truly reminds me of an episode of law and order.. only with reporters instead of cops. Thankfully crime stories are right up my ally.
The twist at the end of the episode is amazing. I truly look forward to episode 2 to find out what happens next.
I give Crave 5 of 5 paws

 

2. The Genesis Project by Tigris Eden (Chapters 1-5)
This is definitely an interesting one. I'm not exactly sure what Vaggo is only that he isn't human. Which makes me wonder what the others in the story are as well.
This definitely a strange story where humans no longer exist replaced by something akin to alien vampires.
The story is written in the technical sense that all sci-fi lovers crave. From the strange new names of things to the different ways to travel, even the way the beings on new earth eat are futuristic.
I enjoyed following Genesis as she learned new experiences. She's so different from the others she really is an oddity and generally finds herself the center of attention.
I give this story 5 of 5

 3. The Getaway by Riley Ross (Chapters 1-3)
This story starts with the rare guy playing hard to get. This one made me smile as I was swept into the apparently drama filled lives of Michael and Juliet's lives.
The writing style for this one was simpiler than with the previous two, but with contemporary romance that's expected since well it's takes place in the here and now without any oddities.
The three chapters offered with this one however were not enough for me accurately gauge a rating.
For now, I give this one 4 of 5 and hope the second episode holds a bit more of the story for me to go on.

 The collection as a whole is a wonderful melding of paranormal, science fiction, and contemporary romance. Each author brings their own uniqueness to the table and each character is different and special in their own ways.
I urge those who would give this series a bad rating to read all the books, and complete the stories before doing so.
I give this book 4 of 5

Raksha (Blood and Fire 1) by Frankie Rose

Kindle ][ Kindle uk ][ GoodReads

First things first.. This book is amazing. It puts me in mind of the movie Gladiator, except our hero is a female instead of a male. The way the people live reminds me of a cross between the districts from the Hunger Games and the Soul Society from the anime Bleach. The fact I can see either in my head is a testiment to this author's writing ability.
The only problem I found was that I not bothered to read the blurb for the book, it would have been two chapters before it was made known that our main character is a girl and not a boy. This story was well thought out and and written beautifully.
Ryka is the type of person you can't help but want to beat the crap out in the beginning. Again this author's style is oso fluid you can feel the ire bubbling just below Kit's surface as he delibrately taunts her.
This book will keep your heart pounding and keep you up well past bedtime. I found it impossible to put down and I eagerly await the release of Radicals.

Intuition (Intangable 0.5) by J.Meyers

Kindle ][ Kindle uk ][ Nook ][ Smashwords ][ Kobo ][ iTunes ][ Indigo ][ GoodReads

This one is such a tease! It definitely leaves you aching to start on Intangible. Here you get a small taste of Luke and Sera and the things they can do. The gift of intuition and the gift of healing. Though this story mainly focuses on the intuition aspect obviously.
The only flaw I found to this was not in the story itself. It was in the italics J.Meyer forgot to undo after the last vision Luke has. But it's a small error and only someone as ocd as I am about things will find it a bother.
Because this story is so short, I feel I can't rightfully give it a 5 since there weren't enough pages to give me much of an impression of anything. I do however enjoy the story for what it is.
So I give this book 4 of 5 paws

Indomitable (Intangible 0) by J.Meyers

Kindle ][ Kindle uk ][ Nook ][ Smashwords ][ GoodReads

This is great start to the Intangible Series. You get your first peak at Jonas here and see how he functions in the present time. You also get get quite the look at him when he was human.
I'm honestly surprised Jonas feels as he does toward humans after all he'd been through in his life. A lesser being would have been lost forever, yet Jonas somehow found his way back.
The Realm is described in such vivid detail you can almost smell the air there if you try hard enough.
Lilith, while we all know she's the mother of all vampires. I have to ask what happened to the first she sired. The rumors buzz about Jonas being Lilith's chyld like it's a shock, yet how are all the others that follow her there if they weren't sired by her. Surely there must have been one or more Jonas that was sired by Lilith to make the rest. As early as 50 years prior to Jonas since Adrian had only been turned 50 year before they meet.
Regardless of whether or not you're a fan of the series, or like me, just discovering it? You'll fall in love from the first sentence.

Dying to Live (Zombie Overload 1) by CM Wright

Kindle ][ Kindle uk ][ Nook ][ Smashwords ][ GoodReads

***I warn you I am not a big fan of zombie themed books***
This book starts out much the same as all things zombie do. An unknown virus gets loose into whatever from where and bam zombies. There has to be another way to create a zombie because this is just a repetitive theme.
Anyway, The difference between this book and other zombie things I've seen and read is that our main character is talking to us as things are going on. Step by step. I couldn't help but picture a camera man trying in vain to keep up with this woman while she grabbed her mighty pink hammer.
This aspect made the story enjoyable for me. It may be an over done theme but CM Wright had the magic touch to make this amusing.
Because this story is not only written in the 1st person, but also in the current time frame, you can feel Canada's emotions a lot stronger than you would have if the story were told in the more common 3rd person past tense.
I must admit this story made my heart race more than once.
I have to admit, the story needs Canada. Without her quirky little remarks and humorous outlook at the things going on around her, this story would almost be chilling to read.
I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
I give this book 5 of 5 paws

Flash by Barbara Morgenroth

Kindle ][ Kindle uk ][ GoodReads

This is definitely an interesting book. As an amatuer photographer myself I absolutely fell in love with Kip as she struggles in L.A. trying to get the perfect shot.
Kip's thoughts on the people that dwell in "Beautifulpeopleville" will have you laughing out loud. She has to be the most cynicle teenager I've ever had the pleasure to meet even if just in a book.
This book isn't something I'd generally read, yet when I saw it, it called to me. Perhaps it was my love of photography and knowing that Kip, like anyone who loves the feel of a camera in their hands, has to have that perfect shot no matter the cost.
Perhaps my brain simply needed a break from the endless barrage of the normal stuff I read. Regardless of the reason, I'm happy I found this book. It's brought many smiles in the hours I've read it. And trust me you won't want to stop reading once you start this book will hold you that tightly.

Lethal Obession by Shandra Miller

Kindle ][ Kindle uk ][ Nook ][ GoodReads

This book starts off strangley. Well perhaps not so, but as we all know by now, I don't read Erotica unless asked to.
Anyway the wording is strong. This author clearly has a good grasp on the english language.
There was a part in the first chapter that confused me though. How a cop would even consider doing what Angela had done!
I loved the crime story aspect. It actually flowed very well with the erotica parts. I won't ruin it for you guys though!
A perfect blend of crime noir and steamy sex scenes, if you like erotica and crime novels.. This book will keep you wanting more.
I give this book 4 of 5 paws
