But is Hell really more like Heaven?Graphic Content 18+The ReviewHoly Hell, This one is graphic in nature but when you consider who the story is about, that is to be expected, Lisbette is a Succubus, My favourite kind of story, She always gets the great time, The author really got into the psychy of Lisbette as she found out who she was, when she realised what she was, I really, really enjoyed this one, nothing like abit of Demon loving to end the day, again this is over 18’s only, 4.5/5Buy link & where to find the authorAmazon.comhttp://www.amazon.com/Earth-Cover-Me-...

Ebook: Red's Robin (Vampire Memoirs)Author: Riley SteelFiction, Paranormal,This review may contain spoilersI was given this by the author for an honest reviewSummary: Robin is a rather self absorbed model. On a night out, she bumps into Red, a vampire. One unholy and lustfully fantastic night later she finds herself a member of the undead. Having shied away all of her life from love, she now has to adjust to the fact that she and Red are soul mates. But something appears to be amiss with Robin, she doesn't like human blood. She is a Santorian, a special breed of vampire thought to be extinct. As she matures she will become indestructible, impervious to sunlight. But to accomplish this she must survive on the blood of other vampires. Robin learns to love for the first time and finds her place in her new family who have welcomed her into their arms. However, when a vicious rival vampire pack kidnaps Red, it falls solely in her hands to use her newly tuned senses to seek him out and she must battle her way through the entire vampire pack to get him back.The ReviewWow, the author went all out with this one, I loved it, there was intrigue, secrecy, backstabbing, action and Sex, I was hooked from the start, I loved Robin, she was so out there, but Red was my favourite, he was so perfect, except for being a vampire, just what every girl wants, Riley Steel knows how to write a vampire novel, she pulls you in from the first right through to the end, it was action packed, there were gruesome fight scenes and glorious sex scenes that will leave you panting for more, I would highly recommend this book, 5/5Buy link & where to find the authorAmazon.comhttp://www.amazon.com/Reds-Robin-Vamp...My review of Downpour (Ember Series book 2) by Madison Daniel from Julie Newberry
Ebook: Downpour (Ember Series Book 2)Author: Madison DanielFiction, Paranormal,This review may contain spoilersI was given this by the author for an honest reviewSummary: A little sister lost.A family tree withered. A journey to save the past.Max Valentine is a walking supernova.On the run and searching for answers, his light darkens. Dark skies on the horizon make his next chapter ominous. His powers are fading but still he pushes toward the storm. Embers still burn but can he survive this one truth......love is eternal but the heart is not.The ReviewI read this book first before I read Ember which is book 1, I was intrigued to see if I could read it as a stand alone and yes I could, I understood what was going on, The characters in this reminded me of the Xmen, Asia was definitely Storm, she had all the same attributes, which was awesome, Who does not love a superhero, and for me Asia was definitely one in this book, I know the hero was Max, but Asia was always the heroine for me, I still can’t decide who Max should be with, as Sam is the love of his life, won’t say too much because of spoilers, but Asia is always there for him, I loved how this story was written with each chapter the author had given you a soundtrack to listen along with, each one must have been carefully chosen, they all went along very nicely, Thankyou for that. Max is on a mission in this one, I loved the action sequences, the emotional moments were very moving, Highly recommended to all 5/5 Buy link & where to find the authorAmazon.comhttp://www.amazon.com/Downpour-The-Em...Amazon.co.ukhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Downpour-The-...

My review of Will & Wonder (Jonah & Lily's story, Blood & Light prequel) by Rue Volley from Julie Newberry
Ebook: Will & wonder (The story of Jonah & Lily, Blood & Light Prequel)Author: Rue VolleyFiction, Paranormal,This review may contain spoilersI was given this by the author for an honest reviewSummary: This is a prequel to the Blood & Light vampire series."Will & Wonder" is the backstory on Jonah & Lily, their origin, and how they came to be. This story is wrapped in a veil of madness and is definitely twisted in nature. Love, treachery, and many questions are answered as to who they are, how they are connected to Rue and Joshua and why Valon changed foreverThe ReviewI love Jonah so was hoping that the author would write a little something just about Lily & him, Loved how this story takes us way back to the beginning and how they came into this world and how they were found and shown love and brought up for a wee while, before it all changed and they became the Jonah and Lily we love in Blood & Light, We also have Joshua in this book, (not a big part but every part with Joshua is a blessing) I was on tenterhooks throughout this book, thinking oh no so that is why they were like they were in Blood & Light series, I can understand it abit better now, If you loved the Blood & Light series, this is a must read, I would highly recommend this to all, 6/5Buy link & where to find the authorAmazon.comhttp://www.amazon.com/Will-Wonder-Sto...January 16, 2013

Mia is a rogue vampire struggling with the reality of her life and her circumstance in a house that never quite feels like a home.
