Dead Sound (Things Unseen, #1)Dead Sound by Anise Eden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When you read this title, you wouldn’t think this is a romantic story. Well let me tell you that this story ended up being truly a suspense of a romance! It kept me in suspense the whole time turning into new surprises each corner. Neve and Cornelius are such great characters with such past stories. I can’t wait to see what’s next! When you start with a psychiatrist who was injured during a session to a potential relationship with a person who had rugby past injuries that ends up working together for the future of all. It’s just crazy good.

I can tell you that this book was better than the first and I went straight to the third after! Lucy continues to work with her Dad while working on her relationship with Marcus. Of course we have more drama come in when Marcus’s parents come into town on a mission while trying to say for another reason. Lucy believes this will put more drama with Marcus, while Nannying Dylan’s siblings, keeping up with school, and keeping all friendships in line. I thoroughly enjoyed this book in the series. Good job Pauline!! 🙂

This is my first read by Pauline and I must say it was a good book. It took me a minute to get hooked and read, but overall I enjoyed it and continued on to the next book in the series.

This is a 3 story apartment, so she ends up meeting new people on the second floor and already knows the one on the third floor. This meeting on the second floor begins her new life in Chicago.

So to start off, I didn’t know about the first two books, but I am definitely going to go back and listen to them. CL Schneider was able to have it where I understood it all. The main Character Dahlia has a lot to uncover and work on with missing creatures of all kinds, masked men who are very flexible, and her friends sister still missing. With her human work, she investigates to find all she is looking for. This series is absolutely fascinating with all the different creatures, realms, and adventure. I can’t wait to finish the rest!

Tricia, you did it again!! This is another amazing series already! You have Alena Scott, Half Vampire Half Witch, who has to hide that fact from the world while living among humans and going to school with them. She meets new friends, as well as an old friend who she thought was her imagination. From there, we then escalate to more scenarios where she goes and meets vampires that help her belong as well as learning spells to help her on her witch side. In the background, a war is brewing, and now they have a lot on their plate. The Drama, love, family and friendship in this story is already so great and I can tell just the beginning! I can’t wait to finish this series!! 🙂

Weep Woman Weep was an amazing story from beginning to finish. Mercy had such a life to live with the Weeping Woman, the women who were caught by her, and what happened when she didn’t go to the river. I am seriously impressed that this story was only 120 pages. I swear it felt like so much more which is a good thing. I cannot express enough that Mercy is such an amazing girl who grew up to a confidant woman all on her own (except with mama’s help too). Maria, Kudos to an amazing story! 🙂

Emma is such an intriguing individual with so much going on for her. It all started with her notebook and crimes. The Characters overall in this book are all exciting with their different personalities and how they all relate and help Emma achieve what it was hard for women to do in those times. As a woman, I praise the work that was done in this book and wish I was in that timeline helping where I could! It’s the stories you wish you were apart of that make the best readings. Her love, mysteries, drama, and friendships all link in with the story told. Kimberly, such a great series. Thank you for this creation! 🙂
