I really like finding new series from authors that I like. This definitely fit the bill. I like the author’s refreshing take on this. as I love any Vampire book regardless of genre. I like how the story line isn’t predictable and that the author makes sure you are glued to the book.

I like how there is a good mix of action and adventure. I am really impressed with this younge adult fantasy. The characters are all believable and relatable. I really cannot wait for the next book in this series. Can she break the curse? What will happen next. I am on the edge of my seat waiting.

Another great adventure into the Broderick family. I really enjoyed this book as it wasn’t your typical straight forward romance. Both the main characters have their own self doubts and I really like how the author brings them together and love blossoms. I really like it when I don’t want to put the book down.

I really could relate to Edward and how he felt unlucky. I like how the author really wrote his character and how he finally adapts and grows into his abilities. I love the whole family dynamic and how they are so supportive. I really cannot wait to read more from this author.

I mean where do I start? Wow just wow. I really found myself lost in this one as the story evolved. I like how the author is able to combine different paranormal storylines and bring them together. I like the use of Norse mythology.

I could really relate to Talaith and I was glued to the pages to see the romance between her and Kallen blossom. I really like how there is a good mix of drama. The whole good versus evil is betrayed really well. The author has a refreshing style that brings the characters off of the page. The drama plays out and you feel as though you are right there with them. I cannot wait to read more from this author.

Wow what more can I Say? This is the third book in tihs series I have read and oh boy I sure was not let down. I really have enjoyed this author’s take on a reverse harem. I find that the series is refreshing and unique. I have really enjoyed reading this series.

The characters are all very well written. I like how there is not just romance but a bit of drama too. Even though this is paranormal the characters have real life issues and this makes it so much better to read as it isn’t predictable and the reader can relate to the characters better. I cannot wait for more from this series.

I absolutely love Sherrilyn Kenyon and Cassandra Clare so of course I fell for this book series. I could not put this book down. I love how the forbidden love plays a part in it and that there is just as much adventure as romance comes to play in this book. The characters are well written. The author brings a fresh outlook to witches, lycans and vampires.

Tasha and Levi have the forbidden love that brings the reader in and the story draws you in deeper and deeper. I found that there was just enough action and drama that keeps the reader glued to your seat and not want to stop reading. I like how there is just enough of a carrot dangled to keep the reader wanting more and I for one cannot wait for the next book.

Wow and I do mean Wow! I love finding new authors and with this audio book I was not let down. I was really on the edge of my seat with this one. I really like the fact that there were three narrators. This just added depth and also a fullness to this audio book. I really found the authors style to be gripping and dark which just grabs the listener.

I really felt as though I was part of the drama as it unfolded in this book. The different voices helped to add depth and really highlighted the drama. The characters really came to life and I really enjoyed the feeling and different tones of the narrators. This made this a great listen and I will definitely read and listen to more from this author.
