Witch Song by Amber Argyle

Witch Song

by Amber Argyle (Goodreads Author)

Goodreads:
The world is changing.

Once, Witch Song controlled everything from the winds to the shifting of the seasons, but not anymore. All the Witches are gone, taken captive by a traitor.

All but Brusenna.

Now the traitor is coming for Brusenna, and even her guardian can't protect her. Somehow, Brusenna has to succeed where every other Witch has failed. Find the traitor. Fight her. Defeat her.

If Brusenna fails, there won't be anything left to save.

Look for the sequel, Witch Born, coming May 2012.

My Thoughts:

First off, the cover is amazing. Second, I loved Joshen. He was sweet and very loyal. Brusenna had to grow over the course of the book and into her witch powers. I loved the world Amber Argyle created. It was very fun with lots of magic! It was also very well-written with cool descriptions and witty dialogue. Sometimes I felt like Brusenna didn’t have to wait long before she bumped into help. I don’t want that so sound bad. It was just uncanny at times. I really enjoyed this book and loved the romance. Very action packed fantasy novel.

Note: PG-13, Very clean. Four Stars

When Crispin, Lord Cavratt, thoroughly and scandalously kisses a serving woman in the garden of a country inn, he assumes the encounter will be of no consequence.

The dismayed young lord has no choice but to marry Miss Catherine Thorndale, who lacks both money and refinement and assumes all men are as vicious as her guardian uncle.

Trapped between an unwanted marriage and a hasty annulment, which would leave his reputation tainted and Catherine's utterly ruined, Crispin begins guiding his wife's transformation from a socially petrified country girl to a lady of society. Their unfolding relationship reveals encouraging surprises for both of them, and privately each of them wonders if theirs may become a true marriage of the heart.

As a battle of wits escalates into a life-threatening confrontation, will it be possible for Crispin and Catherine to live happily ever after?

Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi

Under the Never Sky (Under the Never Sky #1)

by Veronica Rossi

Goodreads:

Since she'd been on the outside, she'd survived an Aether storm, she'd had a knife held to her throat, and she'd seen men murdered. This was worse.

Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland - known as The Death Shop - are slim. If the cannibals don't get her, the violent, electrified energy storms will. She's been taught that the very air she breathes can kill her. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry. He's wild - a savage - and her only hope of staying alive.

A hunter for his tribe in a merciless landscape, Perry views Aria as sheltered and fragile - everything he would expect from a Dweller. But he needs Aria's help too; she alone holds the key to his redemption. Opposites in nearly every way, Aria and Perry must accept each other to survive. Their unlikely alliance forges a bond that will determine the fate of all who live under the never sky.

My Thoughts:

            Wow! I loved this book. It has to be one of the best novels I have read this year! Author, Veronica Rossi, wove believable characters into an awesome world. When Aria was exiled, the book got so good that I couldn’t put it down and read it in one day. Love, loved Perry! It was so great and so real. I can’t wait for the next one to come out. Very well written and believable. 

Note: 15+ There was violence and bloody scenes. Five plus stars!

Titan Magic by Jodi Lamm

Titan Magic

by Jodi Lamm (Goodreads Author)

 

Goodreads:

Mute, heartless, and tormented by auditory hallucinations, Madeleine Lavoie never questions why her family has hidden her from the world. But the night her brother casts her out, she learns the mysterious voice she thought existed only in her mind is no delusion, and no matter how hard she tries, she can never disobey it.

Now Madeleine must find her own voice in a cacophony of powerful tyrants, monsters, and gods. If she fails, she will forfeit her life and the lives of everyone who loves her. But if she succeeds, she may finally gain the ability to love someone in return.

My Thoughts:

This book really messed with my head in a cool and weird way. I couldn’t make heads or tails of any of the characters until almost the end. It was awesome. Also the magic at play was slowly revealed through the book, and it was fun to discover it. I enjoyed this book, but it did leave me feeling weird and incomplete. I think that is because of the main character. I can’t say too much more or else I might give away spoilers. The end makes me wonder if there will be a second book. I will have to go and see.

Note: 13+  Four Stars

My Thoughts:

I got this book for free (it still is if you hurry and grab it in e-book format) and would have paid for it happily! It is a great story! I love the characters, and the plot kept my guessing. I was trying to match the prologue to the first chapter and let me tell you it took a few chapters to start putting it together. It was great! The action is there, and the romance is great. I loved the social tension and the action tension, and just everything. Very well written. I am now enjoying the next book in the series. Don’t miss this one! And it is free right now. Go and grab it!!

Note: PG-13, very clean and fun. Five stars!!!

Good Morning, Glory by Shaunna Sanders

Good Morning, Glory

by Shaunna Sanders

Amazon:

Kit Quinn plans to grow old and singularly boring as a housekeeper on Mr. West's estate. It doesn't sound like much fun, but at least it's respectable. And she would have stuck to that plan, if Mr. West hadn't turned out to be wonderful -- and unattainable.

His plans to marry someone wealthy can't possibly include her, so now that he's pushing the boundaries of their professional and personal relationship, Kit doesn't know whether to run away and keep her self-respect or stay and hope for some fleeting happiness. She's read enough classic literature to know what last century's heroines would do, but in 1926, a girl should be able to keep her man and her dignity.

My Thoughts:

I have always been a Jane Austin fan, so when I picked this book up and it had that feel, I was excited. I really loved the sweet romance in the book. And right way was excited about Mr. West! I enjoyed that this book took place around the Industrial Revolution, so the characters had automobiles, flashlights, and the like. It was fun. I loved Kit, who was well educated and feisty in wit. There was a lot of good thought provoking debates in this book, and my hat is off to the author for coming up with it all.

Note: G, a very sweet romance. Four stars!

Pride's Run by Cat Kalen

Pride's Run (A Wolf's Pride novel #1)

by Cat Kalen

Goodreads:

Seventeen year old Pride is a tracker—a werewolf with a hunger for blood. Taught to trick and to lure, she is the perfect killing machine.

Kept leashed in the cellar by a master who is as ruthless as he is powerful, Pride dreams of freedom, of living a normal life, but escape from the compound is near impossible and disobedience comes with a price.

When she learns her master intends to breed her she knows she has to run.

Pride soon learns if she is to survive in the wild, she must trust in the boy who promises her freedom, the same boy she was sent to hunt.

With life and death hanging in the balance the two find themselves on the run from the Paranormal Task Force—officers who shoot first and ask questions later—as well as her master’s handlers.

Can Pride flee the man who has held her captive since birth and find sanctuary in the arms of a boy who has captured her heart? Or will her master find her first?

My Thoughts:

This book had me flipping the pages eager to find out what happens next! It was great! I felt so sad for Pride and her life. I love the two alphas, but have to say that Logan is hot and so sweet! I really enjoyed all the time that Logan and Pride got to spend together. They had some really funny adventures and some not so funny ones. I really enjoyed this book!

Note: 15+ Some hard captivity scenes and a bit of swearing. Five Stars!
