Last week was a pretty good reading week. I did start and stop a couple that I just could not really get interested in - but otherwise, I was pleased.
Here is what I want to share with you today:
The Darkest Promise by Gena Showalter - 5 Stars *****
Possessed by the demon of Misery, Cameo isn’t allowed to
experience joy. If she dares, her memory is wiped clean. With no other
recourse, she sneaks into a land more fantastical than any fairy tale,
determined to find the one man with the key to her redemption.
Lazarus the Cruel and Unusual rules his kingdom with a
single unwavering focus: to build his army and annihilate his enemies. Nothing
distracts him—until Cameo. He is relentless in his quest to make her smile…and
seduce her into his bed.
As dark forces conspire against them, threatening to destroy
the fragile bond they’ve forged, the once-calm Lazarus grows crazed. Every
heart-stopping kiss and wicked touch causes Cameo to teeter on the brink of
happiness. But if she falls, she risks forgetting him forever…
Heart of Malice by Lisa Edmonds - 4 Stars ****
Meet Alice. Private Investigator of the Supernatural.
The first time Moses Murphy’s granddaughter killed on his
orders, she was six years old.
For twenty years, she was a prisoner of an organized crime
syndicate, forced to use her magic to make Moses the most powerful and feared
man on the East Coast. To escape his cruelty, she faked her own death and
started a new life as Alice Worth. As a private investigator specializing in
cases involving the supernatural, Alice walks a precarious line between atoning
for the sins of her grandfather’s cabal and keeping her true identity hidden.
Hired to investigate the disappearance of a mysterious
object of power, Alice enlists the help of Malcolm, a ghost running from a past
as nightmarish as her own. It soon becomes clear the missing object was taken
by someone with a dangerous secret and an unknown agenda. When her client is
kidnapped, Alice must find her and the object of power before a vengeful killer
destroys the city and slaughters thousands—starting with Alice.
Spiral of Need by Suzanne Wright - 4 Stars ****
Ally Marshall isn’t just a wolf shifter—she’s a Seer. But a
girl doesn’t exactly need special powers to know that Derren Hudson despises
her entire kind. Disdain practically rolls off the Beta of the Mercury
Pack…disdain mixed with a healthy dose of desire. And no matter how much the
ruggedly handsome male appeals to her, this is one call of the wild she’s
determined to ignore.
After one betrayal too many, Derren doesn’t have much use
for Seers—except for Ally. Forced into acting as her protector, he finds
himself intensely and passionately drawn to the woman who incites his primal
instinct to claim. And when enemies target the pack, Ally’s gift may be just
what the Mercury Pack needs. Can he put his distrust aside, or will he force
himself to turn his back on the one woman who makes his inner beast howl?
Compound 26 by Krista Street - 4 Stars ****
In a society ruled by sanctions and curfews, Dr. Meghan
Forester emerges as the youngest and most promising scientist to join the fight
against Makanza - the deadly virus that's ravaged the world.
Inside Compound 26, a giant government-controlled research
facility, Meghan's new job involves studying the Kazzies, the rare survivors
who carry the virus and now exhibit supernatural powers. But as her work
enfolds, Meghan's horrified at the brutal and unethical practices the Kazzies
are subjected to.
And most surprisingly, she falls in love with one.
Faced with growing conflict over helping the Kazzies versus
following the Compound's strict policies, Meghan must choose: obey the
government's unethical practices or risk everything to save the only man she's
ever loved.
Magic & Moonshine by Bella Falls - 3 Stars ***
Magic & Mystery are only part of the Southern Charms of
Honeysuckle Hollow…
Charli Goodwin doesn’t expect her homecoming to go without a
hitch—after all, she skipped town, leaving her fiancé and family without a clue
as to where she was going or why. Now that she’s ready to return home, she
plans to lay low and sip some of her Nana’s sweet tea while the town gossips
come out to play.
Unfortunately, on her first night back, Charli discovers the
body of her crazy great uncle (hey, everyone has one). She suddenly finds
herself at the center of a mystery that threatens the very foundations of
Honeysuckle Hollow and the safety of every paranormal citizen in it—starting
with Charlie herself.
With the clock ticking, will Charli’s special magical
talents be enough to save not only the town but her own life?
That's my week. I hope you are reading something great!
As always, thanks for stopping by.
