I love amazon! especially when you can get great deals, over Christmas I picked up 3 bundles of 20 books each for 99 cents a piece. 60 books for 3 dollars you definitely can't go wrong!

Thanks, ladies! I'm still waiting for a reply but in the meantime, I've been reading pretty well. I finished my book but will post a review later.

I haven't read much Historical, but I picked this up last year when it went of sale. I'm glad I did, I enjoyed this book very much. Max and Tristian were great characters and I liked them together. They one thing that I like the most about this book was the communication between Tristan and Max. They actually talked to each other. I will certainly read another Ava March book.

Week 7: Six Pack Attack

by Amy Harmon

Date Read: 5 April
Rating: 4 stars
Review:
This was a really great read. This is one of my hits in the NA genre.

There were a lot of issues covered but in such a way that it wasn't "issues" per say but handled without any fuss. I liked many aspects of it but saying more would be very spoilery. All I'm going to say it is one of the better NA books out there.

WEEK 8: READER'S CHOICE

Written in Red by Anne Bishop
Read: 4.11.15
Rating: 5 stars!
Review:

Half blinded by the storm, she stumbled into the open area between two buildings.

Meg Corbyn is a Cassandra sangue or blood prophet who has escaped from her Controller. She seeks sanctuary in the Lakeside Courtyard which is controller by the Others. Human law does not apply within the confines of the Courtyard. Humans enter at their own risk knowing that they are considered meat to the residents. Simon Wolfgard runs a bookstore in the Courtyard and is the leader of the Courtyard. He is tasked with hiring a Human Liaison to serve as a point of contact with the human community. Meg does not smell like prey when she arrives poorly dressed in a snowstorm. Simon is curious about her but still offers her the position. The Business Association is surprised at their leader's uncharacteristic behavior with a human. Little by little, the Courtyard residents become attached to Meg and consider her one of their own.

The police in nearby Lakeside have formed a team of officers to interact with the Others. Lieutenant Crispin James Montgomery "Monty" has been sent to Lakeside after shooting a human pedophile that was attacking a Wolf. Monty was not aware that the child was a Wolf and left her with the wounded man and Monty was held accountable for the man's death. He becomes the officer in charge of the Lakeside Courtyard patrol. Meg sends off warnings in his head when he meets her. Her obvious innocence and mannerisms make him unsure of her position in the Courtyard.

Meg's childlike persona makes her the perfect caregiver for Simon's nephew, Sam. Sam reverted to Wolf pup after his mom was killed and has not been able to shift for two years. Meg finds a way to get him out and about that horrifies some of the Courtyard residents. Her unknowing actions while Simon is away creates a bad situation for her. Her innocence also attracts the attention of the senior vampire in the Courtyard. He allows her passage where no other human has ever gone...and returned.

Meg seems to bring out the best in everyone she meets. The Elemental, Winter considers her a friend. The ponies that carry the mail learn to love her after she gives them treats. The Crows are her ever faithful watchers. And Tess, the really scary owner of A Little Bite, takes her under her wing, something no one expects.

With the help of a meddling human, Asia Crane, Meg's Controller discovers her hideaway and comes after her. This is something that the residents of the Courtyard along with Monty and his patrol will not allow.

There are simply so many good things to say about this book. I was just blown away. The fact that the Others are not portrayed as animals that can be easily influenced by humans was huge. These are not cuddly weres that want to fall in love with humans. The Others refer to humans as monkeys and the local butcher shop often offers "special meat" after a human ends up somewhere he is not allowed. The Courtyard has very strict rules about human activity inside the walls. One infraction can cost you your life.

The relationship between Meg and Sam is one of the best I have ever read. The two are so innocent and vulnerable. The story of the safety line applies to them both.

I don't know how I missed out on the wonderful book when it was released. I am eager to read the next one in the series as soon as possible.

A HUGE 5 stars on this one!

Excellent review Cheryl! You said all the things I wish I could've.

I'm so glad you loved it Cheryl, this series is my #1 read for 2015 so far and as of yet nothing else has come close to how much I loved it. I'll be re-reading this one again and again :)

I am sharing it with my nephew's best friend. He loves UF and I think he will enjoy this. I may have to get another copy for myself and one for my niece. I may be buying them for everyone I know!

It's been a while since I last left this series and I think this was a very good instalment. I liked both Irena and Olek (Alejandro), loved watching them overcome their past and find love again. There is plenty of action, I won't wait as long to read the next book.

Hmm... This may "force" me to go to the bookstore to buy Murder of Crows. What a tragedy!

SOS Bookshelf Bingo R11 ~ Week 8 ~ Reader's Choice Shelf



Finished: 13/04/15
Rating:5♥

Review:Yet another fantastic addition to the Bewitched and Bewildered series. This time we get to met Colton and his mate Rheia Bradley. Rheia is a human who knows that paranormals exist when her five adopted paranormal brothers help her adopt and 4 year old shifter child after her parents were murdered, Rheia is sent to Lycaonia after being attacked in her home and is unknowingly thrown in the path of her mate.

The Relationship between Coltion, Rheia and Penny is so sweet and I just loved how Colton excepted Rheia's daughter right away. This was a very light and funny read with plenty of sexy time between the main characters, throw in a mixture of previous characters and you have a excellent story. I can't wait for book 4!

[[deleted user]]

I'm going to look for my book, I'll be back with my choice later :)

Week 9: Creature Feature

by Allyson James

Date Read: 16 April 2015
Rating: 4 stars
Review:
This was a good addition to the Stormwalker series. This builds on the Janet's & Mick's relationship and with others too.

The best thing about this series is the number of paranormal beings present - storm walker, dragon, vampire, shape shifter, witch, God and shadow walker (introduced in the book). It's one of the most diverse UF series I've read. I have to say - this book had one of the most displaced sex scenes ever. At one point towards the end, both of them are spent fighting in a sinkhole. Janet has broken bones etc and they just had a MAJOR relationship crisis. And the bad guys have to stopped too. Then they have sex. Gah. I couldn't stop rolling my eyes.

I recommend this series to anybody looking to give it a try. I'm definitely continuing this on.
