So, I finally got to read an Alyssa Rose Ivy book! :) I 'met' Alyssa online ages ago and she's so sweet and genuine. I have several of her books, but you know how it is when you're writing and busy and you just don't feel like you can really be a read...more |

I really dug this book. I loved how intense they felt for each other. I saw a spoilery review so I knew what was going to happen on the last couple of pages. I'm kinda glad I did, because that was a MAJOR what-the-hell-just-happened moment! That mome...more |

GREAT BOOK. EYE OPENER TO HUMAN TRAFFICKING. IT didnt go into great traumatizing details, but enough to give you a glimpse. I thought it would turn out to be with Stockholm Syndrome, but I was proven wrong. Looking forward to reading "Taking Faith

As I said it's Shelly Crane so it's really good - so good to the point that you'd never actually get enough!!! I just really hate endings. And wish that I could get my hands on book 2, Taking Faith, real soon!!! :)) Cheers to another success Shell...

“You don’t love people for what they can give you. You don’t love them because of what they do for you or how good you make them look. Love is blind, love does not boast, love is not vain.”

“I saw something in you that I couldn't live without. I chose you, inside of me, and you chose me. It's not one sided, it only works when both people choose the other. You are perfect for me in every way.”

“And now I’m looking at you,” he said, “and you’re asking me if I still want you, as if I could stop loving you. As if I would want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has. I never dared give much of myself to anyone before – bits of myself to the Lightwoods, to Isabelle and Alec, but it took years to do it – but, Clary, since the first time I saw you, I have belonged to you completely. I still do. If you want me.”

“I rested my chin on my shoulder, not quite fully looking at his face. "They don't disgust you?" I whispered, my voice shaking.
He rested one hand on my other shoulder and the other on my arm and leaned forward, gently pressing his lips into the center of my brand.
"Nothing about you could disgust me," he whispered against my neck.”

So I'm going travelling in the next few weeks and I was planning to save re-reading the significance series for that but I can't ! I literally could not wait. So iv started already and fully intend to have read all + the new book before I leave. Though its prob for the best because if I save it ill b so caught up in the epicness of it that I won't take in any of Australia lol. Anyway that's how much I love this series. Thanks again for sharing your skills :-)

I heard it was a pretty emotional read. It's usually hard for me to read those. But I'll try it.
Okay I already threatened Sonya about spreading lies to her kids that she wore depends if she didn't stick her well-attuned-literary nose in a certain book that I'm about to threaten you into reading.... Hehehehe please know I'm just dementedly playful and not being a psycho fan and fellow reader... So no Kathy Bates-Misery moments, I promise... Ahem, I digress, as usual!The book is " Twisted " by Amity Hope
I think you will love it. It's a gut wrencher!

I love your books!!! You are amazing. Can not wait for the new ones to come out. You incorporate music into your books. That makes you my hero. You got me started on coldplay the scientist from when sherry played it on the piano. I would find myself reading and youtubing songs at the same time!!!.

I'm currently staring at my daunting TBR collection on my kindle (with 700+) titles, wanting to read something I know I will love, so I pulled up one of your books! When I read your books, I know that no matter what I am going to love it and be extremely satisfied (and reread over all the delicious bits multiple times). So, THANK YOU! Thank you for being an awesome author who I can always depend on to tell a fantastic story.

One, I want to thank you for accepting my friendship request. I have enjoyed reading all of your books. Second, I am actually in the middle of Uprising and had to put it down for a while. It has me on such an emotional rollercoaster that I had to take a breath. I mean, Merrick and then Cain, to be in Sherry's shoes. I would have no idea in which direction I would go!!But I have always gone for the underdog, so I would be the one sitting next to Ryan..HAHAHA.Great writing and cannot wait for Reverance.
