Blue Summer Part Two by Everly Taylor – Review by Heather Lovelace

Blue Summer Part TwoBlue Summer Part Two by Everly Taylor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Taylor is really done an interesting approach with an underlying story that harkens back to my childhood. This book and its series predecessor definitely were imaginative and took me down a path I was unprepared for. I found the plot to move well and appreciated the conflict that lay underneath everything. It was well written and interesting and I look forward to seeing what the author writes next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First, We Kill All the Lawyers by Seelie Kay a fantastic five-star read. This is the first novel in the Donovan Trait series, and I am so excited for the rest, I have enjoyed reading this author previously, but this one just had the extra magic, it made me chuckle, but most of all it kept me hooked. This has an original quality to the story, and the characters are just sublime, the snark, the quirks, and the smoothness, all create this great story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The continuing adventure from part one of Lillie, Heath, Chief, Brian and Clay against the bad sorcerer, Erius. When we last left Erius had kidnapped Lillie and the guys were trying to figure out how to safely get her back. They are trying hard. Lillie has grown so much during these challenges. She has become stronger and braver at standing up for herself, much to the chagrin of the guys. It is wonderful to see because the Zayed allow her to be who she is. She is not supposed to stifle herself. She also learns a life-changing secret that has been kept from her her entire life. Again the author has outdone herself with some major finale action. The ending is outstanding!! I could picture the scene with color and sound just like I was there. I have truly enjoyed this series. I hope to read more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Forbidden Wolf (The Shadow Chronicles 1) by CR Robertson was a privilege to read! This has been one of my favorite reads for the year. The characters are so easy to like, love, dislike, and love again. The writing is so descriptive and vivid that i could literally imagine everything that was happening and “see” everyone.

The storyline is addicting and I could NOT put this book down! For fans of the movie Underworld- I would definitely recommend this book. It’s sexy and addicting. I plan to reread it soon and I can NOT wait to read the rest!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Donovan Trait is a defense attorney in Chicago and also a three-hundred-year-old vampire. He has been searching for his soulmate for a long time. He starts a relationship with Judge Shirley Magnusen. She’s everything he has been looking for, but he has his doubts about a future with her.

One morning while walking to the courthouse, Donovan is stabbed after receiving the text “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers! Starting with you!” He thinks nothing of it, to begin with, but when he is shot in the bathroom of the courthouse several days later, he knows he is being hunted by a killer.

Molly, Donovan’s secretary and also a werebear, elicits help from The Lynx, a private eye and hacker when another attorney is killed. Can they use connections between the lawyers to discover who the killer is before another attorney is killed?

After reading the synopsis of the book, I thought, “Oh, it’s just another vampire book.” Was I ever wrong? This book goes beyond any other vampire book and looks at the scientific discoveries that have helped vampires evolve and into the hierarchy of the vampire world. This story of love and mystery will astound you.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blue Summer Part two starts off directly where Part One finished off. If you haven’t read the first part yet, I would suggest doing so before reading this book.
After reading the first book I was very intrigued to see where Part two was going to take me. Part one finished with a cliff hanger so I immediately started the second part and I was not disappointed.
The characters are sarcastic, witty, smart, caring and just really relatable except for, you know, the magical aspect of their lives. I loved seeing the relationships build into something powerful and loving. Lillie the main character always felt like an outcast but the Zayed made her feel like home even before becoming one of them.
There are a few unexpected twists in this story which made it more exciting than part one in my eyes. It is a quick and interesting read.

This is the second and a continuation fro part one. While it is a nice short story I struggled to connect to the characters. I almost think with this many main ones a longer story would have given me a chance to get to know more and feel more connected to them. Maybe a part of each as a couple or more than just a bio.

The bad guy is classic…pure evil. I did enjoy each of these characters and still liked Heath the best. This is an okay story and perfect for a short quick read.

Blue Summer Part Two by Everly Taylor is a fantasy paranormal story and the second book to this tale. It is full of drama and suspense, fantasy and romance, sarcasm and wit, and magic. What more could you ask for? Again, as with the first book the premise of the story is interesting, but it felt like there could have been so much more to take it to the next level. It was good to see where Everly took the story and seeing where it ended, and I look forward to reading more of her work.

Enthralled from beginning to end! I love a good romance, but when you add paranormal to it, I am 100% there! I was emotionally invested in the book straight from the start. The story line is interesting, there are a few plot twists to keep you invested, and Levi is a sweet baby angel, no one can change my mind about that. The story also has a little bit of spice along with everything nice already mentioned. There is a great enemy to route against, actually more than one. The connections and relationships between several characters are also well done. Great read, needless to say I am looking forward to the next book!

Blue Summer Part Two by Everly Taylor is the second story in the series and is not meant to be a stand alone story.

First of all, I think the synopsis is adorable and I loved the go big or go home statement! Everly has written Lillie as a wonderful character and someone I would either love to be, or at least hang out with! I was worried the second story wouldn’t be as good as the first, but it truly exceeded expectations.

When Lillie finds herself in a similar position, can she and the Zayed find a way out, or are they all spiraling towards disaster?

Yes!!! This book was fantastic. After reading book 1 I could not wait to read the 2nd book to this series, and boy it did NOT disappoint. I am loving the hot vibe between Millicent and Sheridan. Book 2 has Millicent being “stalked” by a hellhound and no doubt a creepy doll. Can I just say, nope no way when it comes to creepy dolls! We learn the reason why Millicent is being stalked and who is behind this mystery. I also love that we still have other characters in this book and you also meet Sheridan’s parents. I am ALL about this series with demons, witches, a nix, shifters, a fallen angel and we eventually get to meet a fairy. So looking forward to starting book 3!

Carnival of Shadows is the second book in the Black Water Magic series. While you can read them out of order, I strongly suggest that you read them in order. Somethings may seem out of place otherwise. This novel is just amazing. Teagan is a very unique character and her friends just as unique. Leslie Scott is a wonderful and talented author when it comes to urban fantasy. This is a great novel for anyone of all ages.

Carnival of Shadows: A Teagan Blackwater Urban Fantasy Novel by Leslie Scott is the second book in the Black Water Magic series. This series is probably best read in order so that you get the full experience be character development although can be enjoyed on its own.
I thought this book was really well written. Having not read the first book I was going in a little blind however I soon picked up on the story. I loved the main character, Teagan. I thought she had that little something about her that really grabs your attention.
The story itself I found to be quite exciting. I wasn’t sure what to expect at all when I started reading and yet I found myself engrossed in what was happening. This was a brilliant book and I will definitely be going back to read the first!

Like Part one it has the same vibe as an adult version of the smurfs, It’s entertaining and captivating. It picks up straight from the end of Part one. Lillie gets captured again and the Zayeds must save her, they have so much banter and flirting together. I could not put this down until I finished it.

This is a well developed story about vampires and lycans and the author’s attention to details bring their story to life. The characters are great, strong, connectable and they brought the story to life on each page. This is a fast paced story that is full of action and passion. How can one night change everything? I highly recommend reading this book to find out. I enjoyed watching their growth and chemistry. Will Levi and Tasha’’s relationship be the death of them? It is worth the pick up for sure

I enjoyed this paranormal story. This is a newer author for me and I look forward to reading more from her in the future. This is a well written story that brings a carnival to life especially the freakshow that is full of paranormal characters that attack a city. The characters are relatable and brought the story to life. They made the story engaging, fun and entertaining to read. Teagan has so much going on in her life from the death of her grandmother to demons to witches and now the carnival comes to town with a whole lot of trouble. She is now left to defend the town and a powerful ring master that could turn everyone against her. How it all ends, you will have to read this book which I highly recommend. This is a great story that anyone would enjoy. A great paranormal story!

This is the second part to the book Blue Summer which is just as great as the first book. I highly suggest reading the first book before this one to help your enjoyment of this series. This is a well written story that is a continuation of the first book. The characters are even better in this book and made the story pop. This is a shorter story that really packs the action. With Lillie being kidnapped a second time the sorcerer is out for more power than ever. Thinking that she knows more than what she is saying, will this put her in more danger and will she be able to save herself this time? This was a fun and entertaining book to read. The characters made the story come to life on every page. It is a fast paced story that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I found this paranormal romance both enjoyable and engaging and having read and enjoyed the previous book in the series I was not disappointed. This story focuses on hedonism demon Sheridan falling in love for the first time with Millicent who is a human and who has no idea about the paranormal world around her. To complicate things further for Sheridan, Millicent also has a secret admirer. Deputy Sheriff Millicent can’t deny the mutual attraction between her and Sheridan but then when a secret admirer starts leaving strange gifts which turn out to be magical Millicent gets distracted. Once the admirers intentions are revealed however, Sheridan worries that his involvement may get Millicent killed. The authors wonderfully detailed world building made me feel, yet again immersed in the story and the plot twists kept me hooked from start to finish. The characters are all likeable and have fascinating backstories which adds to the story. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

This is a good story. I wasn’t expecting “that” person as a love interest for Sheridan. That was a surprise. I liked the thought and idea of the story but it was a bit slow at times. It really focused a lot on the thoughts and feelings of a certain character. Sometimes it was her daily life and a lot of trivial stuff and then a nap would happen. But it really picked up the pace towards the end.

I really enjoyed some of the newer characters and some insight into existing characters. I did not feel a connection to either MC. I did not dislike them at all but did not live them either. I love how their “crew” is getting bigger and better with each book. Those added characters towards the end should be wonderful if they show up in upcoming books.

I had recently read the first in this amazing series. First off I love that this series is so orginal! Its not what you expect and your truly in for a great adventure. If an anuthor can captivate thie readers, as this wonderful author does, you know hands down the book is going to be beyond amazing!

In the second book in the series we go more down learning about Lillie and her relationship with the people she met whom are called The Zayed. I love learning about the Zayed. Its a culture defined in the novels like no other. You could give me a whole novel learning about them and Id be more than interested.

Not only do you see the Zayed change though out the book but you also see Lilie. Not only in mind and heart does she progress from whom she was in the first novel but with her powsers as well! And that to me was super awesome by far. But with everything comes a price..the more she grew profiecent with her powers more she was put in danger, as well as the Zayed I would say, by the sorcerer. But as I read on Lilli is not someone who needs saving or a danzel in disttress. She becomes quite brillant with her powers. In the sense of you wouldnt want to anger her, now would you?

But I also was suprised to learn the sorcereer himself was not the only one to grow some certain powsers which made him more of an even more interesting character or a villan I should say.

As I read on you learn of how much Lillie’s fondness for the Zayed and to me it really shown from the first novel to where she was now how much the Zayed have come to be not just a part of her life, but people she would risk everyting for, even if it meant her own life. She truly loved them in the way she showed how much she cared and knew she had to save them from what was to come in this novel.

I love this series. If your looking for a quick read where you stay up at night to finish bcause the pace really flys, this is a novel for you! I love the romance, suspsense, and the drama scenarios put into this.I really enjoyed this one, I actually think I might have been more in deep with love love for this novel by a bit more than the first!

This author truly has a gift and their amazing! I would say read these in order. It helps to understand Lillie and The Zayed very much. Trust me, it ll make sense if yo u read it in order 🙂

Again, loved this novel. Im so glad so far I have gotton two beautiful about The Zayed and the adventures they face with Lillie and those around them!

Again, Phenomenal work on this beauitul novel Everly Taylor 🙂

What a wonderfully quick treat to read! Millicent is a town deputy who has no idea that there are paranormal creatures in her town (and they are her friends)…Through a series of magical stalker events, Millie finds out she has some amazing friends and that Sheridan may even be something more. Missing persons, dhampirs to (truly) mother-in-law from hell, you will love the plot of this mystery. My favorite characters were Millie and Sheridan because they were struggling with life issues that were so very relatable. Though not just a comedy, this is a story you just have to read.

This was another phenomenal read by this talented author! Just like the first book I completely devoured this one, I ended up reading it in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to put it down!

This author once again took me on a roller coaster ride with the non-stop action, steamy moments, and mystery. I loved every second of this book and wouldn’t change a thing about it. I loved the characters, all of the detail, from big things to small everything was intricately detailed leaving nothing to the imagination which I loved!

This cannot be read as a standalone so I would suggest reading Blue Summer Part One first before diving into this one. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for their next paranormal read, it’s a story you won’t want to miss!

I feel that she learned so much at once and then the Carnival adding to the the storm. She grew so much as a witch and I just really enjoyed seeing the development in her.

Levi & Tasha are the main charcters and they couldn’t be more different. Levi is a Wolf Shifter & Tasha is a Vampire. This is a case of opposites attract and man so they have chemistry! Such a shame that they’ll be put death if anyone finds out If they’re having any kind of relationship between them. Truth is brought to the surface and survival might just depended on their “forbidden” relationship.
Ugh I couldn’t get enough of this one and I am so glad I picked it up. I cannot wait until I can get my hands on more by this author! I would definitely recommend this to anyone that loves Paranormal romances!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blue Summer Part Two by Everly Taylor is a story full of paranormal and romance. There is so much romance and drama that is ready to be unfolded. The paranormal is a nice bonus in this love story.

Most people believe that one kidnapping in a lifetime is enough. But, being an overachiever, she had to go for two. Isn’t it true that if you don’t go large, you’ll never go home? That’s incorrect? If she believed she understood the sorcerer’s power previously, she was dead wrong. Nothing, or no one, was going to stand in his way now that he had what he desired in his sights. Even if it meant murdering those who had previously been his pals, with her dream life on the line, as well as the people she was beginning to care about, she needed to find out a way to go back to The Zayed before it was too late.

The first book was great. I continue to enjoy this story. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was lovely.

CR Robertson takes Underworld and turns it into a new and exciting read. A tale as old as time, love, meets hate in this novel that makes you say what in the hell. A love that can be punished by death is the only type of true love. Join Tasha and Levi in their journey to prove everyone else wrong about their species. CR Robertson is a wonderful author and hasn’t disappointed with this great first novel in a wonderful series.

Miss Naomi Valkyire has done it again with book 2. I loved how we got see more of Millicent and Sheridan this time around and see how their story unfolded. I love how the book picked up where the 1st one left just from a different point of view. This definitely was a different take on relationships this time around. Any would have sex scenes were implied and not written out, which I loved. The character developments for both ladies was yet again awesome. There were times I wanted to strangle them both and yell at them, but I loved the progress throughout the book. I have more questions now about Terlain the Merman! I hope she continues with this series! I cant wait for more!
