The Lost Legends ~ The Nihryst #1~ Review

The Lost Legends
The Nihryst #1
by Cait Marie (Goodreads Author)
Published March 18, 2020

A plague. A prophecy. A centuries-long curse.

All her life, Princess Adalina heard tales of the legendary, immortal warriors known as the Nihryst. Cursed and bound to a deck of tarot cards by her ancestors, the Nihryst were stranded on a remote island nearly a century and a half earlier. 

Her brother, Prince Shane, is destined to rule the kingdom of Detmarya. Though preparing for this role has encompassed his entire life, control of the kingdom may come sooner than expected due to their father’s sporadic behavior.

Discovering the king's plan to set a war in motion with a mass assassination, Ada unwittingly joins a crew of pirates in search of the only beings powerful enough to stop him: the Nihryst. Meanwhile, Shane and a group of underground rebels make a haunting discovery of a plague infecting the streets of Detmarya. 

With a looming deadline to save multiple kingdoms and thousands of innocent lives, both royal siblings join quests worthy of Ada’s beloved fairy tales.

Branding Lily ~ Review

Branding Lily
Cartel Cowboys Duet Book 1
by Gracin Sawyer
Publication Date: December 16, 2019

She was mine, and I protect what is mine.

Lily ~ I escaped my prison only to fall into the arms of a man sworn to kill me. The way my body reacted when he was around was dangerous. His gentle touch sent me over the edge, needing more. Now I'm hoping he'll let me stay, but when he finds out who I am, I'm dead.

Jacob ~ My family name had a past, but I was far from the man my father was. I knew from the moment I saw her she would be mine. And I protected what was mine. Whoever had hurt her would pay, no one else would touch her again.

New author, new addiction!, December 16, 2019
There is so much going on in this book. A whole lot of drama, a few serious topics (but not too heavy of a read) some spicy scenes lightened it up, & feel good moments added to the love of these characters. Beware it is a bit too easy to get sucked into this Nevada desert, but very much worth it. I was glad to see Lily find herself & become a strong character even after all she has been though. Jacob is absolutely dreamy in every way. Flapjack, & Diesel won me over quickly. And Doc has a special place in my heart!

I read 74% of Branding Lily immediately!! I could not put it down until I just HAD to. At first I worried it might go a bit darker with topics mentioned, but this author did a phenomenal job lightening that mood for us. As soon as I could I grabbed it again...and NOW I am freaking out!!!! Dying! OMG I need to know what happens ASAP!!!! Such an intense read with a whirlwind of emotions. I did not expect this story to go the direction it did AT ALL. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I HAD to finish it! Final conclusion......I love this story!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I will be first in line to get my hands on part 2!!

Moth to a Flame~ Cover Reveal

Moth to a Flame
 by Cambria Hebert
Release date: August 2, 2019
The only thing drawn to her more than danger is him…
Danger isn’t Zoey’s middle name. But it is something she can’t forget, something she’s reminded of every time she looks in the mirror. For those reasons, Zoey has become an expert at creating the perfect illusion. Her ability to fool the eye, to create truth where there was previously none makes her the best in the business.
Working as a makeup and special effects artist for Hollywood combines her two life must-haves: her passion for makeup and hiding in plain sight. It also doesn’t hurt that she’s safe within the heavily secured and secret studio sets, away from the public eye.
Then her perfect job becomes her perfect nightmare.
Not only does her illusion slip with the blast of icy water, but it does so in front of the country’s biggest action hero and the gossipiest of celebrity TV shows.
At first, Zoey thinks danger hasn’t caught up to her and the worst thing about her mishap is the world’s most perfect man sees her in all her not-so-perfect glory.
Until a series of unexplained “accidents” begins on set.
That’s when Zoey knows.
Danger has caught up to her… and this time she fears death has, too.


Genre: Romantic suspense/ Mystery / Thriller
*This is a standalone novel
*this title will be available on amazon, barnes & noble, iBooks, and kobo. 
It will also be available in paperback.
Cover Design: Pink Ink Designs

Veiled ~ Review

Veiled
by Stacey Rourke
Publication Date: Nov. 7th, 2017
Political propaganda would have us believe vampires are our friends. Fanged teddy bears misunderstood thanks to archaic lore. Activists picket for them to be welcomed into our society. 

They claim vamps don't kill. 

They preach we are safe.

They ... are dead wrong. 

One year ago a hive slaughtered my family and left me for dead. Found by a team of scientists with their own agenda, I was forged into an unstoppable weapon.

I possess their strength, with none of their weaknesses. 

I can move among them free from their crippling hunger. 

I am their greatest threat. 

Armed with this arsenal, vengeance will feed my desire to penetrate the seedy underbelly of their fetishized lifestyle and expose them for the monsters they truly are.


Genre: Urban Fantasy
Cover Designer: Wicked Book Covers

OBSESSED!!!!,  November 7, 2017
I am literally obsessed with this world, it's characters, & the entire whirlwind of beautifully choreographed chaos inside!
Soooooooo many reasons I adore this book!
1) I love vampire tales! BUT...this vampire tale is unlike any of those I have previously read....and I have read A LOT.
2) The characters!!!! You just have to meet them! 
3) Rourke's sarcastic intense quirky sassiness shines through bright as ever.
4) We are constantly surprised as the story progresses. So little is as it seemed when it began.
Can NOT wait for More!!!
I will be ready to one-click the sequel to this one as soon as possible.

Guarding Eden ~ Review

Guarding Eden (A Midway Novel)
by Cameo Renae
Publication Date: July 26, 2017
***The Midway Novels are spin-offs of the Hidden Wings Series, but each book can be read as a standalone.***

Tucked away at an upscale, private boarding school in Brindle Hollow, Washington, seventeen-year-old Eden East comes face to face with a hideous creature on her walk back to her dorm. Shaken to her core, she's left questioning the world around her, and soon finds herself entering a friendship with a hot, new student named Alexander.

Little does she know, Alex is a Guardian Angel, sent from Midway to protect her from those dangerous creatures—known as Darkling—lurking in the forest outside Brindle Hall. It isn’t long before Alex learns this is no ordinary assignment. Eden’s existence holds a secret; something hidden from even herself.

Eden is thrust into a world where Fallen angels and creatures of the Underworld will stop at nothing to catch her. With Alex at her side and a little help from some of his old friends, they form a formidable front against the enemy.

Hopefully, it’s not too little, too late.

This review is from: Guarding Eden: A Midway Novel Book One (Hidden Wings) (Kindle Edition)
This is the perfect follow up/spin off of the Hidden Wings Series! Guarding Eden can easily be a standalone, but if you have read any of the Hidden Wings Series you will be happily reunited with some of our most beloved friends!!
I am repeatedly amazed at how much I adore the characters Cameo Renae brings to life. Each book brings us more action, suspense, & romance too, but my favorite part is always getting to know the newbies she presents to us. They are always unique & real as they unveil their personalities, issues, & feelings along the way. Most importantly I continually want more. That paired with the intense battles we are thrown into time after time ensure I am a forever fan!
