Review: The Dark Gifts Inheritance by Willow Cross I read this book without reading the first book. I just want to let everyone know- this is part of a series but completely able to stand alone. You don’t need to read he first one to find this a great read. This is a great book because of that and I applaud Cross for such good writing. So the basic plot is that Sarah and her brother find they don’t exactly know their past every well. In fact they were actually hidden by their past and do not know about their family history of werewolves and have to deduce that her brother is one from what is going on....

Ethereal by Addison Moore Moving to a new town normally sucks, but it is worse if you move into a house where the previous resident was taken and murdered. This book was a very easy read and kept clicking along nicely. Nothing was too hard to follow or distracting. The writing style was nice and easy read. I found myself easily drawn into the tale and wanting to continue to read. I found some of the story overdone- some things in YA seem a bit cliché by now: moving to a new town…mean clique girl cheerleaders… guys so handsome the protag drools over them…not one but two good looking guys….. this book...

Review: Snow, Blood, and Envy by Jean Haus Nivi is getting a new mom- unfortunately she is much older than she looks. Soon Nivi finds she is drawn into a world where her new mom covets her and is trying to kill her, yet no one will believe her. Nivi is on the run with a handsome and caring prince charming, but he might not be enough to stop everything even if he does believe her. This was a fun modern setting- the author does a great job integrating everything into a very modern day NY without making it seem excessively fantasy to do so. This was more an urban fantasy retelling of the story- which was...

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...
