Dark Challenge by Christine Feehan- one I haven't read before

Julian Savage was golden. Powerful. But tormented. For the brooding hunter walked alone, always alone, far from his Carpathian kind, alien to even his twin. Like his name, his existence was savage. Until he met the woman he was sworn to protect... When Julian heard Desari sing, rainbows swamped his starving senses. Emotions bombarded his hardened heart. And a dark hunger to possess her flooded his loins, blinding him to the danger stalking him. And even as Desari enflamed him, she dared to defy him with mysterious, unparalleled feminine powers. Was Desari more than his perfect mate? Julian had met his match in this woman, but would she drive him to madness... or save his soul?

This one is a good one, don't usually have an issue with this series. This is the 5th one in the series and all books can be read as standalones. I have to say the first one in the series is the hardest to get through. So if you are like me who prefers to read in order anyway, don't get discouraged by the first book which is called Dark Prince.

Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K Hamilton- A reread for me

Anita Blake is small, dark, and dangerous. Her turf is the city of St. Louis. Her job: re-animating the dead and killing the undead who take things too far. But when the city’s most powerful vampire asks her to solve a series of vicious slayings, Anita must confront her greatest fear—her undeniable attraction to master vampire Jean-Claude, one of the creatures she is sworn to destroy...

This author is by far my favorite. This series is better when read in order. I feel that you would be lost if you read them out of order. Guilty Pleasures is the first book in the series.

Beneath a Rising Moon- one I haven't read before (Though I am having a sense of deja vu)
There’s no turning back for Neva Grant. To find a killer, she must seduce the boldest male in the Sinclair pack. Her twin sister lies in a hospital bed, fighting for her life, the fourth and only surviving victim of a vicious attacker. The werewolf rangers suspect the Sinclair pack, and the only way Neva can infiltrate their close-knit ranks is to unleash the wildness within and offer herself to Duncan Sinclair. Duncan’s appetite for women is legendary on the reservation. But when this new woman stirs his hunger, he finds his desire for her goes deeper than anything he’s ever felt before. When he realizes that she’s playing a game and he’s taken the bait, he is determined to push her to the breaking point. As Duncan and Neva engage in a dangerous dance, they must somehow find a way to join forces—before a cornered killer bites back.


This is a good book and the first in the series. I can't tell you as of yet whether or not this series needs to be read in order. As I haven't read any books of this series before.

Awakening by Catrina Burgess- one I haven't read before

Seventeen-year-old Colina was born a healer. But after a horrific event forces her to leave her clan, she becomes desperate to learn the dark magic of the death dealers, mages who draw their power from the spirits of the dead. Colina was taught to fear and hate death dealers, but becoming one of them is the only way for her to get the revenge she seeks—and the only way for her to survive. Colina asks a young death dealer named Luke to help her, but he’s reluctant to train her in the Death Arts. Little does she know convincing him to teach her will be the easiest part of her journey. To become a death dealer, Colina will need to undergo three dark rituals, each more terrifying than the last. At the same time, she’ll have to deal with her growing feelings for her mentor. Too bad the first ritual involves him strangling her to death. As Colina undergoes the trials, she discovers an untapped darkness within herself. If she survives the horrific rituals and gains dark power, what will she become?

This book pulled me in immediately. Not sure if this is a series that can be read out of order or not.

Temp Me by Nina West- one I haven't read before

I ran to Alaska to escape heartbreak, only to deliver myself into the jaws of a wolf.
Henry Wolf, that is. Owner of the luxury hotel chain, and an undeniably beautiful but cold, hard man who is quick with demands, slow with apologies.
And is my new boss. Worse? I think he’s toying with me. He enjoys watching me squirm beneath his penetrating gaze. He relishes in messing with my mind. He seems to know that my body betrays me when he’s near. And I’m beginning to think it’s only a matter of time before my job description expands to include tasks I can never talk about.
Tempt Me is the first book in The Wolf Hotel series. Henry and Abbi's story continues with Break Me, Teach Me, and Surrender To Me.

This book I am unsure about as of yet. My preferred genre is paranormal romance which this doesn't seem to be.

Reading slump

Been kinda in a reading slump for the past week, have been having a lot going on with a death in the family. I don't know how I am gonna fix this reading slump. Especially when reading is usually a great escape for me. New title or Author suggestions would be awesome <3

Pure Healing (Pure ones #1) by Aja James

                                                 

In the world of Pure Ones, where sexual intercourse with anyone other than one’s Eternal Mate leads to a slow, painful death within thirty days, love comes with the warning label “fall at your own peril”…

Rain: the Healer

From the first time she beheld him, she yearned to sooth his pain and torment and nurtured a secret, selfish desire – to have him for her very own…

Valerius: the Protector

Despite their instant attraction, he has staunchly avoided applying to be the Healer’s Consort, haunted by the brutality and violence of his past…

As the decadal Phoenix Rite draws near, as threats from their vampire nemesis intensify, Rain and Valerius must decide whether they let their histories and duties dictate their destiny or whether they risk all for a chance at everlasting love. 

I honestly tried, I gave this book longer than I have given any other book. Usually give it 60 pages and done. Got over half way through the book before I gave up this is going in the dnf (did not finish) pile unfortunately. Which gives this a 1* for me. Other people have told me the series gets better after the first book. So I am going to do what I usually don't do for a 1 * book and try the next book in the series. Will post that when I get it done. Won't read that one right away. I don't want my judgement of the first book to cloud my judgement of the second bood,

2018 good reads challenge

So I am finally about done with that after pushing it to higher numbers multiple times.
My challenge started at 125 and I have since then pushed it to 150. I have 1 more book to finish my challenge for the year. Looking forward to the year 2019, hoping for another good year of many books.

Edited to update: I read 160 books for the year.

Maze Runner (Maze Runner #1) by James Dashner

If you ain’t scared, you ain’t human.

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone.

Nice to meet ya, shank. Welcome to the Glade.

Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive.

Everything is going to change.

Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying.

Remember. Survive. Run.

Way too slow starting for me and reading some reviews (which I don't normally do) and found out I was not the only one with that problem. Rates a 1* for me simply because of how slow to start it was.

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson

The greatest haunted house story ever written, soon to be a 10-part Netflix series directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Michiel Huisman, Carla Gugino, and Timothy Hutton

First published in 1959, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House has been hailed as a perfect work of unnerving terror. It is the story of four seekers who

arrive at a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult

scholar looking for solid evidence of a "haunting"; Theodora, his lighthearted

assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted with

poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems

destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill

House is gathering its powers--and soon it will choose one of them to make its

own.

Think I am finally gonna throw in the towel and accept that I am not a fan of horror books. Which saddens me as I absolutely love horror films and t.v shows. Each horror book I have attempted to try has just been too slow starting for my liking. This book rates a 2 ** for me.

Tempting the Beast (Breeds #1) by Lora Leigh

Callan Lyons is a genetic experiment. One of six fighting for freedom and the survival of their Pride. Merinus Tyler is the reporter who will tempt him, draw him, until the fury of the "mating frenzy" locks them into a battle of sexual heat there is no escape from.

Deception, blood, and the evil Genetics Council are hot on their trail. Callan will use his strength to try and save them both...and do all in his power to keep his woman in the process.

This book was a page turner I had trouble putting down. It has been a while since I have felt that with a new author. One thing I gotta say about this book though is in my opinion this book is for those readers who are 18 or older. Also those who don't mind intimate details on sex between couples. This book rates a 5 ***** for me and I will continue with the series. The one thing I am not sure about is whether or not I will like that this series seems to follow a different couple each book. Look forward to continue the series and find out if it keeps me as enthralled.

Once Dead, Twice Shy by Kim Harrison & The Batman Adventures: Mad Love Paul Dini & Pat Cadigan

My name is Madison Avery, and I'm here to tell you that there's more out there than you can see, hear, or touch. Because I'm there. Seeing it. Touching it. Living it.

Madison's prom was killer—literally. For some reason she's been targeted by a dark reaper—yeah, that kind of reaper—intent on getting rid of her, body and soul. But before the reaper could finish the job, Madison was able to snag his strange, glowing amulet and get away.

Now she's stuck on Earth—dead but not gone. Somehow the amulet gives her the illusion of a body, allowing her to toe the line between life and death. She still doesn't know why the dark reaper is after her, but she's not about to just sit around and let fate take its course.

With a little ingenuity, some light-bending, and the help of a light reaper (one of the good guys! Maybe . . . ), her cute crush, and oh yeah, her guardian angel, Madison's ready to take control of her own destiny once and for all, before it takes control of her.

Well, if she believed in that stuff.

The trend in superheroes of the late 1980s was dark, grim, gritty, and not very kid friendly. Then along came the animated Batman series. The visual style was totally unique: clean, sharp, and bold. Batman Adventures: Mad Love is an original comics story drawn in the style of the popular animated series. It's even put together by Paul Dini, a major force behind the animated show. This particular story involves Batman's old foe, the Joker, and Joker's cute but deadly sidekick, Harley Quinn. Actor Mark Hamill of Star Wars fame, who plays the voice of the Joker in the animated series, claims that this is one of his all-time favorite comics, calling it "bold, lusty, gleefully demented."

Now I decided to do a 2 for one in this post because I have the same 2 ** star rating for both of them. As I found myself putting the books down more than actually wanting to put them back up. Side note: Usually a fan of Kim Harrison. Love her Hollows series.

Vampires Like it Hot (Argeneau #28) by Lynsay Sands

http://goforparttime.com/account.php

“Vampires...”

When Raffaele Notte pulls a barely dressed, disoriented woman from the ocean, the last thing he expects is for her to utter that word. The immortal has come to the island resort to help his cousin, but now, it seems, there are rogue vampires dining on unsuspecting tourists. And he soon realizes that not only is Jess a target, she’s also the life mate he’s been waiting for…

Vampires are real. Jess would’ve never believed it until she saw them with her own eyes. She knows she has to get off the island, and her gallant rescuer has offered to help. There’s something about Raffaele that’s unlike any man she has ever met, and his touch sends pleasure through her that is beyond all imagining. But when Jess discovers who he really is, will she risk life as she knows it for a chance of forever by his side?

*****There is a bit of a spoiler beyond this sentence*****

This was an interesting read. Could hardly put it down when I had the time to read. Don't remember there being a book where someone had 2 possible life mates. Can't wait to see what the next book is about. Side note, wonder if there will ever be a book for Vasco. That would be interesting to read if you could get past all that pirate talk or what ever you wanted to call it.

Immortal Unchained (Argeneau #25) by Lynsay Sands

Ever since Domitian Argenis recognized Sarita as his life mate, he’s been waiting for the perfect moment to claim her. Those fantasies did not include him being chained to a table in a secret lab or both of them being held hostage by a mad scientist. Somehow, they have to escape… 

Sarita has seen some crazy things as a cop, but nothing to rival Domitian. A vampire? Seriously? But his healing ability, incredible powers, and their mind-blowing physical connection—none of it should be possible, yet her body knows differently. Now, not only do they have to save each other, but other innocent lives are at stake. Failure is not an option, for Sarita intends that Domitian show her exactly what an eternity of pleasure feels like…



Another page turner I couldn't put down. This one seemed to be a bit more long winded than necessary. But still rates a 5 ***** for me as another reread.

Wild Rain (Leopard People #1) by Christine Feehan

To escape an assassin, Rachael finds sanctuary in the rain forest, where the most exotic of all creatures walks: Rio. But when he unleashes his secret animal instincts, Rachael fears that her isolated haven could become an inescapable hell...

This book pulled me right in off the bat, impressed with Christine Feehan as usual. The book seemed a little stretched out unnecessarily, but I will still read it again. I think I found my new favorite series by her. This rates a 5 ***** for me.

Runaway Vampire (Argeneau #23) by Lynsay Sands

The latest entry in the sizzling paranormal vampire series featuring the Argeneau family - no one does wickedly funny and irresistibly steamy like Lynsay Sands!

Dante Notte has heard it said that love hurts. He just wasn't expecting it to run him over in an RV. Still, a punctured lung and broken ribs are nothing compared to the full-body shock he feels whenever he's near the vehicle's driver, Mary Winslow. He needs to keep her safe from their pursuers while he rescues his brother. Most challenging of all, he needs to claim this smart, stubborn woman as his life mate.

The naked, injured, insanely gorgeous younger man who clambered into her RV insists they belong together. If Mary wasn't feeling their incredible connection in every inch of her being, she wouldn't believe it. But now that the men who took Dante's twin are after her too, trusting her gut means risking her life for an immortal who's the very definition of a perfect stranger.

So I have decided it would be better if I put the description of what the book is about and then do the review. That way you will have more to go on than my review. My review of this one is a bit strange compared to how I reviewed the other books in this series. This book I will reread and it was good for a bit of a laugh, I don't think I can give it a 5 star. This one rates a 4 and a half stars for me, this has a bit of a weird out factor for me. I don't think her previous books went into detail with a relationship between a seemingly young guy and a 62 (if I remember correctly) year old woman. Don't get me wrong, I would still recommend it. It just isn't my usual 5 star rating for a book written by Lynsay Sands.

Feeling Appreciated :)

So as of last night my blog reached 1000 views, I never thought I would get this far. Or be able to spread my love of reading to so many people. I look forward to doing this for a long time. Next review will be up later today. It is called Runaway Vampire from one of my favorite authors Lynsay Sands this book is the 23rd in the Argeneau series And these books for the most part can be read out of order. Thanks guys for your support it is very much appreciated.

Fifty Shades Freed (Fifty Shades #3) by E. L. James

***Small Spoiler alert***

Over all I am pleased with this book and the whole series in general. But I have to say I wish they would have gone into more detail on the wedding and stopped the back and forth with the story of then and now. These kind of stories usually aggravate me. Having said that this book rates a 4**** for me. Would still recommend the series. 

Full Blooded (Jessica McClain #1) by Amanda Carlson

I think the fact that this book only took me 8 hours to finish should tell you how much into the story I was sucked into. I just couldn't seem to put this book down. It definitely kept my interest though I am frustrated with the way this book ended and look forward to continuing the series. This book rates a 5 ***** for me.

Fifty Shades Darker (Fifty Shades #2) by E.L. James

                                                 
Daunted by the singular sexual tastes and dark secrets of the beautiful, tormented young entrepreneur Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele has broken off their relationship to start a new career with a Seattle publishing house. But desire for Christian still dominates her every waking thought, and when he proposes a new arrangement, Anastasia cannot resist. They rekindle their searing sensual affair, and Anastasia learns more about the harrowing past of her damaged, driven, and demanding Fifty Shades. While Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront her anger and envy of the women who came before her and make the most important decision of her life. Erotic, sparkling and suspenseful, Fifty Shades Darker is the irresistibly addictive second part of the Fifty Shades trilogy.

Oh my god, this book had my feelings all over the place. Shaking my head, on the brink of tears, laughing and rolling my eyes at a characters stupidity. Can not believe how the second book ended and look forward to the 3rd and last installment of the series. This book rates a 5 ***** for me.

Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades #1) by E.L. James

I know don't judge me have been curious about this book for a long time. Wow...just wow. wasn't expecting that. I kept putting off reading this for so long. And was surprised at how quick and deep I was drawn into this book. I think my husband was a little irritated at how much he had to repeat himself. This was a somewhat different read for me and it invokes so many mixed feelings. This books ending has me wondering what the second one holds. This book rates a 5 ***** star for me.

Flowers in the attic (Dollanganger #1) by V.C. Andrews

Book started out interesting then it became a too slow starting for me to continue. Book rates a 2 ** for me. This book is for those who don't mind the book to be slow starting.

Orphan X (Orphan X #1) by Gregg Hurwitz

This book has potential to be a good one, but it has a bit of back and forth which kept it hard to keep my interest in the book. The fact that this isn't my usual read meant that it needed to grab my attention and not let go. Book is good for someone who likes suspenseful books. This book rates a 3 *** for me.

The Lightening thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1) by Rick Riordan

Didn't really get into the book. Seemed slow starting for me. I loved the movies by had a hard time with the book. maybe it just isn't my kind of book. Book rates a 1* for me.

A caress of Twilight (Merry Gentry #2) by Laurell K Hamilton

Another book from my favorite Author. I liked this book though it seemed to take longer for me to get into this book than it did the first one in the series. This book rates a 4 **** for me just because it took longer for me to get into.

Mycroft Holmes and the Apocalypse Handbook by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

I don't usually read graphic Novels but I actually liked this one. It was a funny quick read. Might actually read the next one in the series. Book rates a 4 **** star for me.

The Last song by Nicholas Sparks

Another book where I saw the movie first and was disappointed by the book. I really hate when that happens. This book rates a 3 star for me. Really wanted to love this book as I loved A Walk to Remember.

Among the Hidden (Shadow Children #1) by Margaret Peterson Haddix

                                                  
Love rereading books from my childhood. This is a 5***** rating for me and I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the series since I have only ever read the first book.

Hunger Games (The Hunger Games #1) by Suzanne Collins

The book is okay, but probably not going to be one I reread. Thought because I loved the movies

 that I would feel the same about the books. No such luck with that. Hoping the second book is better. This one rates a 3 star for me. I don't know it is just something about it that I didn't like, just can't put my finger on it.

Betrayed (House House of Night #2) by P.C. CAST and KRISTIN CAST

So I am reading this and all I am thinking through the beginning is what the hell Zoey, you have a boyfriend. And he is a faculty member! One of those moments that you wish you could reach through the book and smack some sense into a character. I still don't know what the hell is up with Zoey, but I am liking how this one ended. I hope she can find a solution to the many problems she will be facing in the next book. I am still at shock with who the bad guy is in this book, was not expecting that at all. This book rated a 5 ***** for me. Actually looking forward to continuing the series.

Half-Blood (Covenant #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Till about the middle of the book I had a like/dislike relationship with this book. But by the end I really Liked it. Will be trying at least the second book in the series to see if it gets better. Since some book series does that. The first will be just OK enough to try the second. So we will see if Jennifer L Armentrout will become another author that I like to read. book rates a 4**** for me.

Marked (House of Night #1) by P.C. CAST AND KRISTIN CAST

This is new Authors for me and a really good read. This was a book that I had trouble putting down. Different twist on vampyres (Not a misspelling it is how they spell vampyers in the book) The rating for this one is 5 ***** for me. Definite reread and definitely continuing the series.

Beastly Bones (Jackaby #2) by William Ritter

Jackaby is as interesting as ever in the second book n the series. This book is better than the first one so if you weren't fond of the first book in the series you should try one more book just to be sure. Seems a better second book happens more often than not. This book rates a 5 ***** for me, 1 * higher than Jackaby (1st in the series) did.

Theirs to Defy (Marriage Lottery #4) by Stasia Black

Love hate relationship going on with these characters, all of them are bull headed. It's there way or not at all. Rating this book a 4**** though regardless of the stubborn characters it is a good book. However it does seem to drag on a bit in places.

The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer My life at Rose Red by Joyce Reardon

I wasn't sure about the diary style writing at first, but it's pretty good. Unless you are a person that likes to read multiple books at a time or don't mind slow starting books I wouldn't recommend this book for you. My rating is a 3 *** for this book. Liking reading about rose red from Ellen's perspective.

House Rules (Chicagoland Vampires # 7) by Chloe Neill

Oh my God Ethan Sullivan is one aggravating man, Stubbornness isn't always a good thing. Thankfully Merit have the stubbornness to match with some to spare. It will be interesting to read what the GP will do with the heroic rescue from Cadogen house. Will they still be enemies or let things lie. Time will tell, hopefully in the next book. This book is a 5 ***** for me (Only books that get 5 ***** for me are the ones I will reread)

Their Bride (Marriage Lottery # 3) by Stasia Black & A.S. Green

As far as the characters go Vanessa has by far been my favorite among the women characters. Logan: I get he was grieving but it had been years and Vanessa deserved to be treated better than that. Cam came around pretty quick in the beginning of the story, and it was pretty obvious that his attitude was just a front. Riordan: I had trouble figuring that character out. The decent guys of the group seemed to be Ross and Michael. This was my favorite book in the series so far. Had a surprise at the end of the book. This book Rates a 5 ***** for me like most if not all of the books in this series I have read so far and I can't wait to start the new one with Drea's story, with her attitude about the Marriage lottery this one will be an amusing read I think.  

A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks

This book has you shaking your head sometimes at how cruel and stupid people can be when they are young, smiling at times and for me crying for the last 40 pages. This was the fist time I had read Nicholas Sparks and I am happy I picked this as the first novel to read by him. Regardless of the stuffy nose and tears flowing once I finished. Even with how much it had me crying I would still pick this book up to read it again. Though I may need a bit of recover time before I do that. Absolutely loved this book. This book rates 5***** for me.

Interview with a Vampire (Vampire Chronicles #1) by Anne Rice

This book rates the rare 1 * for me. I couldn't finish this one which I hate doing. I just didn't like the fact that it was slow starting and a lot back n forth between the interviewer and interviewee.

Biting Cold (Chicagoland Vampires # 6) by Chloe Neill

The 6th novel in the series had a lot more going on than the last one did. This book got my interest and kept it the whole book. This has me wondering what will happen with Cadogen House Vampires after this. Can't wait to find out in the 7th book in the series. This book rates a 5 ***** for me.

Drink Deep (Chicagoland Vampires #5) by Chloe Neill

The whole book I was thinking that it was good enough to continue and finish, but I wasn't as fond of this book in the series as I was previously. Ending of the fourth book in the series made me mad. As the 5th book in the series the end of it surprised the hell out of me. I am anxious to continue and find out what happens next in this series.This book rates a 4 **** for me.

Jackaby (Jackaby # 1) by William Ritter

This is not my usual read, usually read a lot of paranormal romance, regular romance with some erotica thrown in. But this is pretty good. Reminds me of Sherlock Holmes with a bit of a paranormal twist. Though I wasn't much of a fan of the Sherlock Holmes books. This book was a surprising 4 **** rating for me.

Living in Dead Dallas (Sookie Stackhouse #2) by Charlaine Harris

The series gets interesting faster in the second book of Sookie Stackhouse. And I am pleased to see Sookie finally count her gift as just that a gift instead of a curse. Using it to help rather than suppress the ability. I rate the second book as a 5 ***** read and as a reread. Dreading ending the series as I would with any series I like when there are less books in it than I would hope for.

DEAD UNTIL DARK (Sookie Stackhouse #1) by Charlaine Harris

Another series I liked after after watching it on T.V. which was a nice surprise. T.v shows and books aren't always alike. Yes there are differences, but there are some that I have read have been completely opposite book vs T.V. glad this was the exception. My rating for this is 5 ***** Definite reread for me.

How to tame a beast in seven days (Embraced #1) by Kerrelyn Sparks

It starts out good but then I lost interest fast. Book spent too much time on the description of the surrounding area. It is an OK read rating a 2 star for me.

Dark Desire (Dark # 2) by Christine Feehan

Jacques and Shea's story: 

Good read as it usually is when reading Christine Feehan. This one rates a 4 **** star for me.

Dark Prince (Dark #1) by Christine Feehan

Mikhail and Raven's Story

Not too fond of Mikhail's controlling ways with Raven initially. But he is the Carpathian Prince so it is what you would expect. This book has vampires kind of. Or at least this authors version of a vampirish race. My rating for this book is 5 *****

The second Short life of Bree Tanner by Stephanie Meyer

I was surprised by this book. This book seemed to be a bit behind the scenes for Eclipse, from the newborns point of view. Which is probably why I loved it so much. Couldn't put it down finished it in 8 hours. Rating this one a 5 ***** definite reread for me.

Perfect Formation (Perfect fit #1) by KB Alan

This was a really good book, a bit out there with the bedroom stuff. Was a new author for me, so glad I picked outside of my usual Authors with this one. Will be looking to read another book from this Author. My rating for this book is a 5 ***** definite reread for me.

Chosen at Nightfall (Shadow Falls # 5) by C.C. Hunter

This was a really good book, love happy endings. This book rates a 5 ***** for me. Just wish that C.C. Hunter would come up with something like Shadow Falls all grown up. I would love to see what happened to these characters after this disaster. Especially with Jenny, Derek, Kylie and Lucas. 

Glad I found another Author I like and will look to read more books

Whispers at Moonrise (Shadow Falls #4) by C.C. Hunter

This one was a bit of a tear jerker for me. Looks like there are only 5 books in this series. Though there seems to be another series that kinda stems from Shadow Falls series called Shadow Falls: After dark. That one seems to be from Dellas Point of view. My rating for this book in the series is a 5 ***** So many mixed emotions about the ending. Can't wait to read the next one. Considering that I read this one in less than 24 hours I hope the next one is as interesting or more so considering it seems to be the last book in the series according to how often the books were released and how there hasn't been any more released since then.

Taken at Dusk (Shadow Falls # 3) by C.C. Hunter

Well we finally find out what Kylie is in this book, a boy expresses his true feelings about Kylie. And I am excited to find out what this means in the next book. My rating for this book is 4 ****, glad I continued the series after the first book. 

Awake at Dawn (Shadow Falls #2) by C.C. Hunter

Ok so this one definitely go more interesting than the first book. This one has me having mixed feelings frustration and interest. Don't think I can explain without giving any spoilers. So I will just leave you with my rating of 4 **** for this book. 

My ratings

5 *****= Loved it will reread

4****= Liked it won't reread

3***= It was okay

2**=Didn't like it, was able to finish it.

1*= Didn't like it couldn't even finish it.

Born at Midnight (Shadow Falls #1) by C.C. Hunter

This book while while entertaining only reaching a 3 *** rating for me. It's an ok book. I will try the next book in the series later to see if it does get better. Because I have had a series do that to me before.

Storm Siren (Storm Siren # 1) by Mary Weber

This book is a new Author for me. Ever have a book pull you in then begin to bore you as it went on? That is how I feel about this book. Good at attention grabbing in the beginning. But not much else. Rating this one a 2 ** 

Twilight (Twilight Saga # 1) By Stephenie Meyer

Of course I have read this book many times, but it has been a long while. I wasn't sure if my taste in the book would stay the same as it had been before watching the movie. This book still rates a 5 ***** for me. The only difference is as I am reading it I am comparing it to the movie which I have watched many times. All I can think is there are extra scenes and scenes are out of order compared to the movie. Though that doesn't make me like the book or movie any less than I always have. Which is good, because I sometimes have problems reading books after I have seen the series or movie. Glad that this isn't one of those cases.
