Book Review of 'Dark Forgiveness' by Amelia Underwood

Dark Forgiveness was written by Amelia Underwood and published by Tate Publishing in April, 2011. You may purchase it at http://www.amazon.com/
Lauren Ance is on a supernatural journey. She has gone from being a young, engaged women to being dead--brought back as a half human, half archangel oracle. But why was she resurrected?
With the help of the four elements, earth, air, wind, and water, she realizes her mission is hidden inside the Light and Dark Scrolls. These scrolls are the salvation of mankind and Lauren must learn their secret in order to save the world from evil, while also explaining and protecting the scrolls and their content.
If you love supernatural/paranormal books, this one is for you. Amelia Underwood has done a wonderful job telling this story without ever having you believe it is just another story. I am a big supernatural believer and I loved this book. The story kept my attention, while keeping me on edge and wondering what would happen next and why. All my questions were answered and much more in this easy read that left me wanting more. I really hope Ms Underwood writes another book as a follow-up to this one because I will certainly want to buy it.
I am giving Dark Forgiveness a 5 spider-rating and would recommend it to anyone. Amelia Underwood has written a new life into the supernatural/paranormal genre.

Book Review for 'The End of Marking Time' by C.J. West

The End of Marking Time was written by C.J. West and published by 22 West Books in 2010. It is available for purchase at amazon.com/
Michael O'Connor is the best at what he does--always has been. After being raised in a terrible home and venturing out to live on the streets at a young age, Michael quickly hones his criminal skills and takes on the role of an elite housebreaker. There isn't a house or a car that Michael can't break into and his skill has enabled him to elude the police for years. But, when a careless move during a robbery slings Michael onto the cops radar, all the years of breaking the law, soon catch up.
An injury hurls Michael into a three-year coma and when he awakens, things are drastically different. The federal and state penal systems have been eradicated and criminals have been weeded out and either re-educated or sentence to death. As Michael gets deeper and deeper into his re-education, learning to be a productive member of society, he discovers things are not what they seem and no one can be trusted. Michael has one chance left to prove himself worthy to live amongst others...one chance to plead his case or be exterminated!
From the very first line of The End of Marking Time, I was absolutely absorbed in the story. I found myself rooting for Michael as he made his way through this new world. C.J. West has written a book so original, fast-paced and believable, I found myself forgetting it was a work of fiction. The dialogue between characters is excellent and the descriptions of events and places are incredible. Readers will not want to put this one down until they know the verdict. Will Michael be spared? Is he worth another chance? Or will all he has worked for be for naught as he pleads his case?
I am giving The End of Marking Time a 4 spider rating. I would recommend this book to any fans of the thriller/suspense genre and I, myself, will be picking up more books from C.J. West. The End of Marking Time is one wild ride you won't want to miss!!

Book Review for 'Morning Menace' by Terri Ann Armstrong

Morning Menace is the first in a three book mystery series we will be featuring on WebbWeaver. It was written by Terri Ann Armstrong and published in June 2010 by Suspense Publishing. Morning Menace is available for purchase at http://www.amazon.com/ or wherever e-books are sold. You can learn more about this amazing writer by visiting her website at http://www.freewebs.com/tarmstrong/

Starleen Maddox is tired of living her dull, boring life with a broken heart and wishes for so much more. She finds the excitement she is searching for when she is tossed head-long into the midst of an enormous mystery unfolding at the JRW stables.
John and Rose Grayson have a good thing going with their stables. Handed down through generations of Graysons, JRW stables has gained a reputation for being the best at breeding and raising horses. When small, unexplainable acts of vandalism turn into horses being stolen and killed, JRW stables is rocked to its core. As the Grayson children gather alongside their parents to search out the culprit, the mystery takes a harrowing twist and the stakes get even higher.
Terri Ann Armstrong has penned an incredible mystery and woven the story together so tightly, I never saw the ending coming. A fantastic new voice in the mystery genre, Terri Ann Armstrong's style of writing will surely set her apart from the crowd and garner a fierce set of loyal fans. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next two books in the Menace Trilogy. I am giving Morning Menace a 4-spider rating and urging fans of the genre to pick up this book...you will not be disappointed.

*We are so excited about this new author! WebbWeaver will be featuring and reviewing the entire Menace Trilogy. We will also be interviewing Terri in the next months as we wait for the final book in the trilogy, that will be released later this year.*

Book Review of 'Shadowfever' by Karen Marie Moning

Shadowfever was written by Karen Marie Moning and published by Delacorte Press in 2011. You may purchase this book at www.amazon.com
MacKayla Lane has come to Dublin to search for her sister's murderer. In this final book of the Fever series, Mac finds out more than she could have ever imagined when she set out on her journey. This young bartender from Georgia--southern belle to the core--has become an Unseelie's worst nightmare. She is no longer the blond, pink-wearing, Southern Belle that landed in Dublin. She is now a killer. She has learned so much about the Fae, yet she has so much more to learn. She has also learned how to harness her abilities and use them for their intended purpose.
This final chapter of Karen Marie Moning's, Fever series will answer all of your questions, but not before giving you an entire new set of questions that will need to be answered. This book kept me on edge from the very beginning until the very end. Ms Moning keeps you in your comfort zone just long enough to throw you a curve ball you never saw coming. The twists and turns take you for a thrill ride all over Dublin, through the Silvers and through all the places you fear most. It definitely does not leave you unsatisfied. I was very pleased with the way this story has unfolded, from the first page of the first book through the last page of this one.
Shadowfever gets 5 spiders from me! (Did you really expect anything less??) and I'm recommending it to any fan of Moning's and to those of you who have not previously read her work. This one is a winner!!!

What is the "Liebster Blog Award?"
It's an award that was reputedly started in Germany in order to give smaller bloggers recognition for their hard work. You receive this award from a fellow blogger that feels your blog is both worthy & important to them. If you receive this award, there are two rules.
1. You must award 3-5 other bloggers with the award. In this case, it is five.
2. The bloggers awarded must have less than 300 followers.
Participation is completely voluntary and is not limited to any genre or writing for that matter. Basically, the blog can be about anything and simply has to be one that you feel is worthy and that you would like to give recognition to by passing it on.
