As they try to move on with their lives. Alex grows distant from the shock of it but Adria begins to befriend some strange residents in their new town.

Review: Fate Succumbs by Tammy Blackwell

Posted by bkristin on Dec 19th, 2012 in reviews | 0 comments Review: Fate Succumbs by Tammy Blackwell  Scout is on the run with Liam but it is time to make a stand. First though, Liam needs to teach Scout how to be a shifter. Time is running out as she prepares to meet her predetermined fate. This book finishes up the relationship between Scout and Alex to let her move onto Liam. Liam is a bit rough around the edges but I like him. He isn’t the typical YA male lead all doughy eyed or oozing sexiness. He is a normal (though very dominant) guy that is even a bit awkward but sincere toward Scout. I enjoy reading Blackwell’s style of writing. It is easy...

Review: Tiger’s Destiny by Colleen Houck

Posted by bkristin on Dec 14th, 2012 in reviews | 0 comments Review: Tiger’s Destiny by Colleen Houck The quest is coming to an end and time to do the final quest. Along the way Kelsey will have to deal with several sacrifices by herself and others. Not everyone will make it back. But in the end, will the brothers finally become men? I like a book that is sad, not for just being sad, but for just being the reality of the story. When things happen, even if it is best for Kelsey, that makes her life easier and the way it should be, it is still sad because she can’t save them both. And that is the reality of being in love with two boys at once. She...

Review: Obsidian by Jennifer Armentrout

Posted by bkristin on Nov 28th, 2012 in reviews | 0 comments Review: Obsidian by Jennifer Armentrout Katy has a problem- her handsome jerk of a neighbor is the twin to her new best friend. That’s not her only problem. Her neighbors are not exactly human. Again I am a sucker for the bad boy. The main love interest Daemon is actually a complete jerk- yet good at verbal sparring. I personally like when characters don’t get along- too sappy when they fall in love at first sight. This book was filled with tension between the main character and her love interest. Tension because she is trying to figure out what they are, tension as he tries to keep her...

Review: Dragon’s Keep by Janet Lee Carey

Posted by bkristin on Nov 23rd, 2012 in reviews | 0 comments Review: Dragon’s Keep by Janet Lee Carey Rosalind was born with a dragon finger in place of her wedding finger. As she reaches marriageable age, she cannot marry without being called a witch. To make matters worse, she is kidnapped by a dragon and forced to be his servant to raise his four baby dragons. Somehow she is fated to save everyone- if she can survive the dragon. For a novel this was so much fun to see a complete story. Part way along the way, I didn’t think it would happen, but it completed itself by the end. Without going into details, by the time I got to the end of the book I...

Review: Unearthly and Hallowed by Cynthia Hand, and Die For Me by Amy Plum

Posted by bkristin on Nov 16th, 2012 in reviews | 0 comments Review: Unearthly by Cynthia Hand Clara has a purpose and, like all humans with angel blood, her purpose comes in the form of a vision. Now Clara and her family must uproot their life to go to the place of her purpose and she must do what is required. The only problem is, the visions give little details and she is not left with much to go on. As fire season nears, can Clara fulfill her purpose in time? The characters were well developed and believable. Tucker was my favorite and though he changed from the bratty teen that constantly teased and bugged Clara to the sweet cowboy that showed her the...
