Starting over sucks.

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I’d pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring…. until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.

And then he opened his mouth.

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something…unexpected happens.

The hot alien living next door marks me.

You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon’s touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I’m getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.

If I don’t kill him first, that is.

ABOUT LUX: Consequences:

Now available together for the first time, don't miss Opal and Origin, the third and fourth books in Jennifer L. Armentrout's bestselling Lux series. Also includes bonus content exclusive to the print edition! "A thrilling ride from start to finish," says RT Book Reviews.

No one is like Daemon Black.

When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn’t fooling around. Doubting him isn’t something I’ll do again, and now that we’ve made it through the rough patches, well... There’s a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can’t protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they love.

After everything, I’m no longer the same Katy. I’m different... And I’m not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I’m capable. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won’t turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.

Together we’re stronger...and they know it.

Blurb
Liam “Hunter” Blake hates the Reapers MC. Born and raised a Devil’s Jack, he knows his duty. He’ll defend his club from their oldest enemies—the Reapers—using whatever weapons he can find. But why use force when the Reapers’ president has a daughter who’s alone and vulnerable? Hunter has wanted her from the minute he saw her, and now he has an excuse to take her.

Em has lived her entire life in the shadow of the Reapers. Her overprotective father, Picnic, is the club’s president. The last time she had a boyfriend, Picnic shot him. Now the men in her life are far more interested in keeping her daddy happy than showing her a good time.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Title: Resisting Ryann (Book #2).
Series: Book #2 (series must be read in order)
Author: Alyssa Rae Ryann
Release Date: June 2, 2014
Rating: 4 stars
Cliffhanger: Yes

Alyssa Rae Ryann stepped up her game with Resisting Ryann (Book #2). This fast paced story picks up picks up right where book one left off. Reese is heartbroken and still confused over Luke leaving her. In the meantime, Reese starts to let two men into her life -- her dad and Sean, the sexy neighbor. Luke is going through hell having to leave Reese and at the same time, working in his father's crime organization. The secrets and lies are piling up.

Things get complicated when Luke pops into her life and gives her hope that he will be back again. He begs her to trust him. How long will hope last when she thinks he's a cheater and another man is waiting to sweep her off her feet? Resisting Ryann is filled with some crazy interconnected elements amongst the different characters. This latest installment exceeded my expectations. It really had a great blend of angst, suspense, drama, twists and turns making this book such a page-turner. This book is an absolute must read for anyone that read Raising Ryann. Yes...there is a cliffhanger, and I'm seriously looking forward to reading book three. Please don't make us wait too long.

Night Fury: First Act (Night Fury #1) by Belle Aurora is LIVE! This new dark and slightly twisted book has me praying for book 2 to release soon. Read my spoiler free review and enter Belle's release day giveaway!

Title: Night Fury: First Act (Night Fury #1)
Author: Belle Aurora
Release Date: June 2, 2014
Genre: Dark, New Adult


Blurb
My name is Catarina.
Or, that’s who I was christened to be, anyways.
I live in a convent. I am a nun in training. A postulant.
I am eighteen years old.

I am a predator.

No one is safe from me.

I am protected.

No one can get to me.

By day one way, by night another. They call on me.


My name is Catarina.

Codename: Night Fury.

No one is safe from me.


I will come for you. 

Teaser
"I trail her down the dark, dimly-lit hall. The sounds of our footsteps echo through the narrow space.
I’m walking towards my destiny.
How poetic.
We reach the end of the hall. Frankie clicks in her keypad code. More humming and buzzing, the steel door clicks opens and finally – finally – I’m home.
I take the first step towards the rest of my life. And I do it wearing a shit-eating grin.
This is exciting.
I’m excited.
My life will be thrown one-hundred-and-eighty degrees. From boring to extraordinary.
I can’t wait.
“Welcome back to Mirage.” Frankie utters as she starts her descent down the stairs to the ground floor."
- Catarina, Night Fury

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Title: Night Fury: First Act (Night Fury #1)
Author: Belle Aurora
Release Date: June 2, 2014
Genre: Dark, New Adult
Series: Yes
Rating: 5+ stars
Cliffhanger: Yes…but don’t let it scare you away from reading this book.

Holy Hell…where do I start so I can remain spoiler free? Ok…here it goes…

Cat (Catarina) is a horny NIT (Nun In Training).

Her surrogate father isn’t really a “Father”.

Her best friend Frankie is a fellow Sister (who is banging the Father at the church).

Her second best friend is a 24-inch Katana sword.

Cat is a trained assassin...who likes to cook, garden, pray and prey on her targets.  Her targets are the dregs of society – child molesters and monsters.  They don’t stand a chance against Cat, aka Night Fury.

Nothing appears as it seems.

That’s all you are going to get from me.  I promised a spoiler free review and you need to experience this book on your own.  This short, twisted story reads like a wicked combination of the movie Point of No Return movie and the hit TV show Blacklist -- on speed.  I’m saying my prayers...please let Book 2/Act 2 come fast. Thanks for the Kindle Crack Belle Rose Aurora!

Holy hell this book....I'm dying...I need act 2/book 2. Full review to follow.

COVER REVEAL - For Fallon by Soraya Naomi

I have a feeling this book is going one heck of a steamy rollercoaster romance thriller.  Read the synopsis and excerpt and see for yourself.  I just added For Fallon by Soraya Naomi to my reading list, and I think you should too.


Title: For Fallon
Author: Soraya Nami
Expected Release Date: July 26, 2014
Genre: Contemporary Romance Thriller

SYNOPSIS:
One night was all it took. One night to fall for him.
When twenty-eight year old Fallon Michaels meets Luca DeMiliano, she’s infatuated by this man. Love cannot be contained and she falls for him. But as time progresses doubt creeps into her mind as to what kind of man he is. Her first mistake was she chose to believe him, over and over again.
One night to fall for her.
Twenty-nine year old Luca DeMiliano  is taken by surprise for the first time in years when he meets Fallon. Being with her forces him to hide a huge part of himself.
He could’ve stayed away.
He should’ve stayed away.
Now she’s in, and once in you’ll never be completely safe. Life will forever change when affiliated with Luca DeMiliano.

About the Author:
Soraya Naomi resides in Europe with her entrepreneur fiancé. She attended university in The Netherlands.

Although she reads many genres, she favors intense, dark, seductive, and provocative novels where the male character loves fiercely without remorse or boundaries. 

She has a passionate obsession for the written word and indulges in chocolate pastries much too often. 
There are books full of great writing that don't have very good stories. Read sometimes for the story... don't be like the book-snobs who won't do that.
Read sometimes for the words--the language. Don't be like the play-it-safers who won't do that. But when you find a book that has both a good story and good words, treasure that book. 

― Stephen King

EXCERPT: Fallon’s point of view
He kisses me hard and hungry and spins me facing away from him. Luca pushes me against the glass window and pins my hands above my head.
 A shudder resounds through me as my hands contact the cold glass, and he gazes at me in the window reflection. “Keep them there,” he orders. My hips are pulled back slightly, my back arches. Luca’s fingertips glide down my spine. Palming my behind, he massages the swell of my ass in both hands. The heat radiating off him is absorbed by my back as he leans in close to kiss the shell of my ear. The tips of his thumbs touch my entrance. Going down into a kneeling position, his nose traces down my back, stopping twice to leave a rough kiss in his wake. Luca bites both cheeks and a low growl leaks from his lips.
      He starts licking me from front to back with the flat of his tongue. All the while his hands keep cupping my behind. “I want to hear you, Fallon.” His tongue traces my folds, the inside of my thighs, the bundle of nerves are being sucked into his warm and wet mouth. And finally his tongue moves inside me, licking my inner walls.
I scream his name repeatedly and throw my head back when his tongue pleasures me into climax.
      Unfastening his pants and pushing down his boxer briefs, Luca seats himself in me roughly. “I’m always so fucking hard for you. Fuck, Fallon,” he groans. My earlobe is caught between his teeth as his hands hold my wrists against the window.
My back curves more to take him in deep.
Luca tangles his right hand in my hair and turns my head to thrust his tongue in my mouth, meeting mine, compelling me. A low, rasping sound escapes him while he keeps up his punishing strokes until he spills inside me. He holds himself still, our breathing regulates, and his lips graze my shoulder. As he pulls out leisurely – tightening his grip around my locks, forcing my stare forward –
Luca takes my left hand and strokes his come around with our entangled fingers. “Rub it in, Fallon,” he whispers in a hoarse tone against my ear while locking eyes with me in the window.
