The Blessed Knights ~ Review

The Blessed Knights
The Angel Knights #2
by Mary Ting
Publication Date: October 28, 2016
**Recommend to read novella The Angel Knights first***

Above a small hill lay a home.
And green men peer out under the dome.
Thirteen crisscrossing arches behold,
with angels singing must be told.
Cubes like teeth thus showed,
pierce one and the door shall glow. 
Part the sea like Moses, 
to see the bundle of red roses.
Only then you shall see,
what is destined to be free.
But beware, if you are not the heir,
for damnation you shall declare, 
for the false burden you shall bare.

Eli, Lucia’s half-demon love interest, has been stabbed with a true-cross dagger and captured by Cyrus, master of the possessor demons. The Chosen Knights must work together once again not only to save Eli, but also to decipher a clue to find the second missing page of Jacques de Molay’s journal. Meanwhile, Uncle Davin informs Crossroads’ Divine Elders of the danger ahead and learns there is much to fear. Countless children are being taken from all over the world to be turned into demons. Michael has no choice but to intervene. The Chosen Knights track down Mortem, the demon who is the key to finding Cyrus, and learn they must travel deep into the pit of a Hawaiian volcano. When they astral travel to the past in search of a clue and follow Jacques de Molay to Rosselyn Chapel in medieval Scotland, what they find will rewrite history.

Genre: YA Fantasy/Paranormal

Each new release has me loving this series more & more! Especially as we hop on the astral train ride back in time to visit the Knights Templar in hopes of finding the needed clues for saving the world!
Each book has brought us a bit more adventure, emotion, & intrigue through the characters we've grown attached to plus all of the newbies being introduced. There is so much happening in this story & I can't wait to see how it plays out. Ting has me on the edge of my seat ... just one wrong move can create havoc of astronomical proportions! So many scenarios that could change everything!! I have to know what will be of Lucia & Eli! What's in store for Zach, Milani, Jack, Brody, the angels, the taken, & Cyrus? Who is "SHE"? How will these new descendants fit into the mix? So many questions .... so much excitement! Can't wait for The Sacred Knights!!!

Tonic ~ Review

Tonic by Staci Hart 
Publication Date: October 13, 2016

Joel Anderson doesn’t take anything seriously.

Not his relationships, which have been few and far between since his brutal divorce. Not the drama of working in a tattoo parlor, which seems to be around every corner. When things get him down, he smiles and cracks a joke. But he’s not the kind of man you cross, or you’ll find yourself at the wrong end of his fists. Annika Belousov takes everything seriously. Like her job as a reality television producer, given that she typically has something to prove. Or her love life, which is defined by a series of requirements — affluent, ambitious, accomplished, to name a few. Definitely her family, who worked their whole lives to afford her every opportunity, a sacrifice she doesn’t take lightly. When she’s tapped to produce a reality show at Joel’s shop, she doesn’t think twice, just goes in for the kill, as if there were any other way. The second Annika walks into Joel’s shop, he makes it his mission to crack her open, but she’s not having it. He’s all wrong — too crass, too hairy, too un-serious. But it doesn’t take her long to find out there’s more to him than smirks and tattoos. And what she finds could put her career and his heart on the line. Not that Joel cares. Because for the first time in a long time, he’s found his tonic.

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Talk about a book hangover!, October 14, 2016
I can not effectively describe all of the feelings this book forced me to experience simultaneously. It was intense & intoxicating meets euphoric peaceful bliss, & then my soul was literally ripped out as my heart shattered in every direction. I felt every single joy & pain they experienced. I giggled, fumed, oohed, & cried right along with them. The drama & pain was so vivid I could barely stand it. I had fallen in love & begged for their redemption as I quickly turned the next pages. And just when I thought it was irreparably over I realized the best was yet to come. Boy did this ever give me a book hangover!!! So much emotion! So much Awesome!! So very worth it!!!
*Not for the faint of heart or anyone who is not ready to accept what could be*'
Anything is possible if we want it bad enough!
