Book Review : Grimnirs by Ednah Walters (Runes #2.5)




Book Title:  Grimnirs

Author:  Ednah Walters

Release Date:  December 2nd 2013

Genre:  YA Paranormal Romance

Publisher:  Firetrail Publishing





Summary:


One lost love.

One lost best friend.

One hot soul reaper.

Straight out of the psyche ward, Cora just wants her life to be normal. She doesn’t want to see souls or the reapers collecting them. The love of her life, the guy she’s loved from a distance for years, has moved away without saying goodbye. So yes, she’s nursing a serious heartbreak. It’s no wonder love is the last thing on her mind when Echo storms into her life.

The chemistry between them is mind-blowing. The connection defies logic. It doesn’t help that Echo is the poster boy for everything she hates in a guy—hot, beautiful, and cocky. A general pain-in-the-butt. Being around him makes her feel more alive than she’s ever felt before. But more important, the souls leave her alone when he is around.



Echo is perfect for her. Echo might even be her soul-mate. There is only one problem. Echo is a freaking soul reaper. A Grimnir. The very beings she wants out of her life. Maybe normal is overrated because Cora wants it all. Answers. Love. A life. You see, once you fall for a Grimnir, your life will never be the same again.

My Thoughts:


This book is amazing! I got lost from the first page and didn’t want to let go. I always wanted to know a little but more about Cora. And my wish came true. I can’t say which couple I like most in series: Raine and Torin or Cora andEcho. And well I always thought Eirik was an asshole and I still think he is. But I will bitch about him a little later.

Cora is an amazing character. The thing I liked most about her is that she really didn’t scream when Echo came into her room for the first time. I mean she coped with situations pretty well. And God- Echo… he’s a fantasy every girl wishes her boyfriend be, well I do. He really loves Cora. And I liked him when he wanted to protect Cora by not being with her. All his action were coming from heart, yes you can argue about that, but I agree with Cora. He was doing what he thought was necessary. And you will know his nearly every secret when you read this amazing book.

And back to bitching Eirik. He really thought that Cora would be waiting for him when he left her without a proper explanation, even a good-bye! And he thought that if he came “in shining armor” saving the day she would fell in his arms and they would live happily ever after? Okay he lost his so called “love of the life” and instead of going to Asgard and be on the right side in Ragnarok, do you know what he did? He chooses to meet his parents, I mean everyone made great sacrifices so thathis mother won’t have him and bam… he is willingly going to her. Asshole!


As always Ednah doesn’t disappoint in this series. There is action and there is heat. There is love and there is betrayal. Everything is in this book, that’s why it’s so interesting to read and deserves 5 leaves. Do you want to know if Cora will be forever with Echo or she will die in the end of the story? Grab you copy now to unravel all of it’s secrets. Happy Reading and don’t forget to tell me what you thought. J J

Tour Stop & Review & Interview : Rose of Thorne by Mia Michelle (Rose of Thorne #1)




Hi Guys!

Today I am hosting a Tour Stop for Mia Michelle's book Rose of Thorne. 

Enjoy!!!


Summary (from Goodreads)

Title:  Rose of Thorne

Author:  Mia Michelle

Publication Date:  September 24, 2013

Publisher:  

Goodreads – Amazon – Barnes & Noble






Summary:


 When a drunk driver tragically orphans Skylar Rose at the age of sixteen, she leaves her dreams behind and takes on the daunting task of helping her elderly grandmother raise her young sister. While other girls her age were living a typical carefree life, she was picking up double shifts at a local café and struggling to pay the bills. 
Always putting her sister’s needs and school first, Skylar has never had time to date or develop relationships. Now a senior in college, she has her sights set on an amazing internship opportunity. The last thing she needed was for a sexy distraction like Sebastian Thorne to walk into her life. 
Sebastian Thorne had been an entitled and reckless nineteen year old when he got behind the wheel of his new sports car that night. When his night of indulgence goes tragically wrong, Sebastian hesitantly turns to the one person, he knows can make everything go away…the one person he hates ..his father.
Now twenty-six, Sebastian is the young enigmatic and powerful CEO of his late father’s design company, Thorne Enterprises. With both millions in the bank and a new woman on his arm almost every night, the world never knew the dark secret he carried inside. Still plagued with nightmares from the night of that horrific accident and having to leave the beautiful girl behind, Sebastian vows to find the one that haunts his dreams. Sometimes the choice of revisiting our past opens the door to a future that we never thought possible.
Haunted by their past, these two want nothing more than to have their life given back to them. But what do you do when the person who gave you back your life, was the very one that took it from you in the first place?
* BOOK 2 THORNELESS will follow VERY VERY SOON!! Contains sexual content and abusive situations. Recommended for readers 18+ years.


My Thoughts:


For those who are interested I do sometimes read non-paranormal books. Mainly they are all classics, but sometimes I come across them on goodreads or when I am offered to host a blog stop. And if you have read the summary, you will know that there is nothing paranormal in it. And this time this is what makes it so amazing. Raw emotions, feelings, thoughts of just two humans, well actually three, but I will be back to it soon. The secrets that lie beneath our facades are sometimes even more vicious then those of paranormal creatures we read about.

Well, for some of you who has read the book and know who is who, I will say: I am rare into the whole team thing (yes, I do have that badges on the side of the blog, not the point), but this time I was so in favor of Lucas aka sweet guy, that I started his fan club (fan numbers 1, anyone care to join?). I really hated Sebastian, actually I despised him. He really deserved what Skylar did in the end. Well for those who don’t know who Sebastian is, he is the guy who hated his dad so much, that he found his closure in sex and alcohol, and he is the reason Skylar has lost both of her parents. And well that’s not a spoiler. But the reason I hate him so much, is because he is such an asshole, and a really big one! Who in his right mind proposes and doesn’t tell the only secret which can end his relationship? I mean why not to say yourself and make the person understand then to hide it, and then have no right to explain? Well, suck it up Sebastian! You didn’t think she will walk out on you???

The book is amazing in many aspects. It tells us the story of real people, of crashed hopes and dreams and is so well written that you really find yourself in the turmoil of character’s feelings. I couldn’t put it down, that’s why I was late next day for my lecture and slept on the other one. But it was really worth it. (Don’t forget that I am into studies J). And the ending was so damn satisfying! I do hope Skylar will fall in love with Lucas. I want to see more of those two in book two. And I hope they will stay together and it will be them to have a happy ending together. She deserves somebody like Lucas. And I just know that they will be amazing together (yeah, I know I sometimes forget that they are in the book, and not in real life). I do hope my wish will come true. I don’t know about you, but I am contacting the tour organizator and plead her to take me on the second book tour. And well I am waiting for book two… Patiently… Hell no! I am no patient person!!!

I hope you will consider reading this book. It is amazing and tells a very deep story, and your heart aches while reading it and you may even shed a tear or two, or if you have a kind heart a lot! Just grab your copy now, and get lost into Skylar’s world. And it’s even more awesome that the writer has chosen to have several POV-s. you will definitely like that style. Happy Reading!!! Don’t forget to leave comments, they mean a lot to me!!! J J

                                       Character Interview- Sebastian and Lucas


So I am sitting down today with Sebastian Thorne from Mia Michelle’s new book Rose of Thorne.  Thank you so much for joining us today, Sebastian.

Sebastian:  Thank you for having me today.

So, Sebastian you are well known for your wealthy bachelor lifestyle.  You have dated hundreds of different women over the years. Tell the readers what makes Skylar Rose so special?

Sebastian: Yes, it is true. I have had more than my fair share of beautiful women over the years. But no one, and I mean NO ONE, can compare to Skylar.  From the moment I laid eyes on her, I wanted her and only her. However, sometimes what we want isn’t the right thing.  Sometimes we have to tell ourselves ‘no’ to protect the other person.

I see.  Well, can you elaborate on that last part? What does she need protecting from? Is she in some sort of danger?

Sebastian: I will never allow her to be in danger of anyone or anything ever again.When I say that, I am including myself.  If there isanyone she needs protecting from, it is me. I wish I could stay away, but I can’t seem to fight this incredible magnetic pull between us.  It is absolute torture seeing her everyday knowing that I can never have her.

Why is that exactly? 

Sebastian: She doesn’t really know the real me. No one does actually.  She deserves someone she can love and trust and I am simply not that man.  All I want is for her to be happy, even if that isn’t with me.

I understand that Skylar is currently caught the eye of Lucas Drake, CEO/CFO of  Drake Corporation.  How exactly are you handling the idea of the two of them dating?

Sebastian: Yes, I am well aware of Lucas’ interest in Skylar. He is an alright guy I guess, but Lucas is like me, he has quite the history of being a ladies man. I am not sure if I like the idea of him using Skylar that way.  So my answer is no, I definitely don’t think that he is the right man for her.

Lucas: Oh really…and I suppose that you are implying that you are then?  Hello everyone, I apologize for my lateness. My flight home from New York was delayed because of the weather.

That is fine Lucas. Thank you for being able to join us today.  As you probably heard, we were just discussing with Sebastian about your interest in Skylar Rose.  Would you care to elaborate on your relationship with her?

Lucas: Let’s just say that Skylar has my complete and undivided attention and I plan on keeping it that way.Don’t fucking roll your eyes up at me, Thorne!  I can’t help it that you let her slip through your fingers. Not that you were any competition to me to begin with.

Sebastian: Don’t fucking tell me that you have any serious intentions with her.  I know you all too well my friend.  You don’t give a damn about anyone but pleasing that dick of yours!

Lucas:  FUCK YOU! You have no idea what I feel for her! Besides that, aren’t you a fine one to talk?  If you care so much about her, then why did I see you leaving Driskill’s the other night with that blonde?  I bet you thought long and hard about Skylar when blondie was riding your dick! You are one selfish arrogant son of a bitch, you know it?

Alright gentlemen, please settle down!!  Mr. Thorne! Mr. Drake!  Please sit back down!  We don’t want any violence in here.

Lucas: I apologize for getting out of line here at the studio. But Thorne you better back the fuck off or I swear to Christ that I will take you down! You know I am not afraid of you! Skylar is mine now, not yours.

Sebastian:  Yours?  Give me a fucking break!  You barely know each other and you act like you are already in love with her.  She isn’t yours Drake and she never will be!

Lucas:  Really? Then I guess we will just have to see about that then won’t we? 

Sebastian: Yes!! Yes, we will!  And then maybe you will finally understand that she has and always will be mine.

Lucas: You fucking asshole!  She will NEVER be yours! 

Alright folks, that is all we have time for today.  We appreciate our guests joining us….Wait! I said NO FIGHTING in here!  PLEASE!  SECURITY!!!!!




Lucas: Thanks for letting me join you guys today.  Sebastian is good to see you again, bro.

Lucas, I’m going to start off by asking a similar question that I asked Sebastian earlier.  For someone who has a reputation with the ladies, what makes Skylar different.  Has she tamed the wild playboy?

Lucas: It is true, I certainly loved the ladies.  I used to laugh at my grandfather when he told me that one day I’d have the breath knocked out of me by some girl.  I laughed at his words until the day I had met Skylar.  For me, she is ‘that girl’.  I have never been happier in all of my life. She is amazing in every way.

Tour Stop & Review : Consoling Angel by Denise Alicea




Hi Guys!

Today I am hosting a tour stop for Denise Alicea's book Consoling Angel. 

Enjoy!


Summary (from Goodreads)

Title:  Consoling Angel

Author:  Denise Alicea

Publication Date:  22 November, 2011

Publisher:  Book Baby ( Self published)







Summary:


Mira did not know what she had in store the day she fell asleep while wanting to escape her current situation. Overcoming a death from someone so close and burying herself in school and an internship has kept her somewhat awake and alive. An admiration for the actor, James Dean was all that kept the memory of her father alive. If she couldn’t be with her father, she could at least remember what they shared an admiration for together. She always wanted to meet James Dean… she didn’t know it would come true. Be careful what you wish for. It may just come true.


My Thoughts: 

It’s a short story, only 24 pages length. And it is well written. You won’t see any vampires, or angels or any other supernatural beings in it. Only a person who’s wish was to see her favourite person, in our case James Dean. Well I have nothing against James, and if I had a chance I would have definitely taken it and seen james in flesh. And what have you done if you were taken back in time to see your “role model”? Well if you want to know what happened to Mira, grab your copy of Consoling Angel now, and read for your pleasure. You won’t be disappointed. Maybe the author will grace us with a book about Mira and someone who she meets at the end of the story? I am not telling who he is, that will be a total spoiler.

Well I have a question for you all. If you had a chance to visit any person in the past, who would it be, which time period and why? I would have visited Alexander the Great, right before his death, why? That way I would have unraveled two secrets: 1. How he died. And 2nd. Where is he buried? Looking forward seeing your answers. Happy reading!!!! And don’t forget to leave comments!!! Enjoy the expert…… J J


Expert:

My life couldn’t be more complete. As we reached the apartments, I slowly got off the bike, surprised at myself that I had done this. Ordinarily, I’d never get on a motorcycle. James leaned over and caressed my cheek. Before I could open my mouth to tell him what was to happen to him, he gave me a quick peck on the lips. I couldn’t let James walk away, not now.
         Something in me grasped his wrist; my breath caught in my throat. I no longer cared about the rain. I must have looked like a drowned rat to him. “I have to tell you something,” I blurted as I waited for his reaction.
         James smiled, then chuckled as he caressed my face.  The rain was preventing me from seeing clearly. “Sweetheart, it’s raining and you’re soaked. I hope this is important.”  Pulling him toward me, I faced him. I could change history. I could have him live out his life as he was meant to. If I couldn’t save my father, I could save him.
         “In the future, when you become famous, please be careful. Remember this: there will be a day that you are off to a race. You will not see a car until it’s too late. James, please promise me. It could mean your life.” I must have sounded like a complete and total idiot to him. Geez! I think I watched Back To The Future too many times. I sounded like Marty talking to the professor about his impending death.
         Chuckling, he shook his head, expelling the rain off his head and onto me. Laughter erupted between us as I covered my face. He then cupped my face, kissed my forehead. “Are you sure you’re not an angel? I cannot promise anything, but baby, I can promise I’ll see you tomorrow. I’ll pick you up here and you can ditch your responsibilities. Ride with me.”
         Sighing, now I knew how all those girls felt when they looked at him. What an offer that would be. Ditch school to ride with the man who was loved by so many. I was determined he’d listen to me.  Gripping his hands from my face, I gazed into his eyes. “I’m serious!”
         Before I could utter another word, his lips descended on mine. My body went toward him and melted. I couldn’t help but respond as I brought him closer.  I was lost in his warm lips as they caressed mine. Lingering near my lips, he breathed, “I know you are.” Then, winking as he kissed me again, smiling that beautiful smile of his, “How else can my angel guard me if she isn’t with me?” 

About the Author: 


Denise Alicea
Born in Manhattan, New York and raised in Connecticut, I found that I was more interested in what went on in the past, than in the future. This makes me a huge history buff. I’ve always enjoyed reading books starting from ancient history, fantasy, science fiction, poetry, and of course romance. I also loved the arts so my first love was once drawing and painting until I found a new medium that would inspire me to try something new.

What led me to write? I started to write poetry when I fifteen years old. This was all due to a family member sending me a poem that she had written and sparked a fire that has never gone out. I began to write my heart out and went from writing poetry to my own stories. I love to write with a bit of everything from romance, humor, and of course adventure. Everything inspires me from art, people, and music

Excerpt:


Jessa’s New Age shop—Eternally Magick—was empty. Usually, Jessa was around. But, right now, she wasn’t. I leaned against the front counter, resting my forehead against the cool glass. Athames, crystals, jewelry and really cute dragon statues were locked in the case beneath my fingertips. While I enjoyed hanging out at the shop and seeing what new potions were available, I wished Jessa had given me some kind of clue as to why she wanted me here. But she was my best friend and mentor; the reason had to be important, if for nothing else to spend much needed time together.
I glanced over my shoulder at the wall of ingredients lining the shelves, ripe for the picking. It had been a while since I’d made a new potion. Maybe if I could stock up on a few things...
“Not what you’re here for,” I whispered to myself. The urge to see what she had nearly drove me away from the counter, but I held myself in check.
Making potions was one of my hobbies. I loved the creativity and excitement that went into building something from nothing, and the brief connection with my power.
Tapping my fingers on the counter, I stared at the curtained-off backroom. Worry crept into my chest. Why wasn’t Jessa here? She never stood me up. This wasn’t like her.
“Jessa?” Usually she came right out when the bells on the door chimed. Biting my lower lip, I considered going into the back. Someone could steal things without her keeping an eye on the store.
“Coming,” Jessa called. The black-haired and blue-eyed beauty swept into the front of the store like a hurricane of flowing skirts. She always looked like she’d just come from a Renaissance faire.
I loved the way she dressed, but I knew that style would never be my thing. My parents would think I’d flipped my lid, and my older brother.... Shudder. Nolan would laugh at me, probably joking with his best friend—and my crush since forever—Ethan Parker.
“Where have you been? I was getting concerned.” Stepping around the counter, I wrapped my arms around her and she embraced me in a hug smelling of lavender and honey.
“Just in the back. I had to wrap up a call and I guess I didn’t hear you come in.” Jessa smiled, but something was up. She appeared a bit too eager to pretend everything was fine.
“What’s going on? Are you okay?” I placed my hand on her shoulder, trying to be comforting.
The door chimed, and we turned in unison toward the shop’s new arrival.
I blinked in surprise.
The man towered in the doorway, over six feet of pure muscle. If his shirt were a little tighter, I probably would’ve been able to see six-pack abs through it. What was he doing here?
He strode in as if he owned the place. There could be no doubt: ladies would drop their panties at his command. If I didn’t have a boyfriend.... Stop it, Mia!
“I’m looking for the owner,” the man said, his deep voice as smooth and sinful as his looks. Yet beneath his delicious exterior, something about him put me on edge. The hint of arrogance in his eyes and the sharp flare of power as he walked in the room were instant triggers. This guy wasn’t a mere mortal. He was something else, but I couldn’t put my finger on what. Aside from Jessa, I’d never met anyone else with this level of power.
Maybe I needed to get out more.
Jessa cleared her throat, as captivated by him as I was by the sound of it. “I’m the owner.” Her voice hit all the sultry tones and she swayed her shoulders. “Can I help you?” I wished I could pull her aside and tell her my feelings, but that would look way too awkward.
“We spoke over the phone. I’m interested in the potion.” He leaned his hip against the counter, standing only a couple feet away. Too close for comfort.
Since Jessa had business to take care of, I sidestepped toward the wall of ingredients, but Jessa grabbed my wrist, keeping me beside her. I cast her a dirty look, but she didn’t pay me any attention, focusing her gaze instead on Mr. Way-Too-Sexy.
“Right, I don’t have any of that in right now, but this woman makes some of the best healing salves I’ve seen.” Jessa nudged me forward, nearly throwing me into Mr. Sexy’s arms.
Glancing up his body to his eyes from so close strained my neck. My five-foot-six frame probably looked tiny beside him. An overwhelming sense of lust and intimidation washed over me.
“Hi.” I fought against a shiver.

Book Review: Fireblood by Trisha Wolfe



Summary (from Goodreads)

Title:  Fireblood

Author:  Trisha Wolfe

Publication Date:  17 December, 2013

Publisher:  Spencer Hill Press







Summary:


To save a kingdom, Zara must choose between a prince who could be the answer and a rising rebellion that threatens to take control.

When Zara Dane is chosen to marry Prince Sebastian Hart, son of the man who ordered her father’s capture, Zara knows she must fight to save everything she loves from ruin. 

Being betrothed to the prince means a life trapped behind the towering stone walls of the Camelot-forged realm. Under the watchful eye of the prince's first knight, Sir Devlan Capra, changing her future becomes difficult. 

When an unlikely rebel reveals the truth about the deadly secrets that fuel King Hart’s twisted world, Zara’s path to rescue her father becomes clouded by deception. The Rebels clear her path by forcing Zara’s hand with an ultimatum: sway Prince Sebastian to join the Rebels, convincing him of his father’s evil nature, or they will take him out. 

But Zara is uncertain about a future under the Rebels’ command and where the prince’s heart truly lies. She must decide who to trust, what to believe, and what she’s truly fighting for before the king destroys all of Karm, including her heart.


My Thoughts:


Remember the stories of Camelot, King Arthur, Lancelot and Genevrine? Well I myself was raised on a book called “knights of round table”. It was and still is fascinating to hear the legend. And how many movies there have been? Many. I think I have watched the biggest part of them. And now my question to all of you: have you even dreamed or even imagined just for a minute to actually like in such era? Where girls needed escorts, where there was no modern technology? Well, I did, when I was little, now I am not so sure if I want to, why? Hell, I won’t live a day without jeans and shower and tablet and books. Well okay, maybe I will a day but that’s not the point. The point is that:

We are in a dystopian world set up as a Camelot. Okay, first logical question is why, right? Well, I am not sure, but our children or I guess we polluted the world so much, that we created the virus, which mutated and is kind of making cannibals from us, not bad right? Well and to answer the question. A scientist, who was crazy about Camelot and power thought to use this for his advantage. He made a realm like Camelot, but while Camelot was all honey and flowers (as the legends tell us), this one is an opposite, it’s ruled by fear and lies, which go so deep, that your mind will have to proceed really carefully when you read it.

The book is about Zara – a country girl, who is chosen to become Prince Sebastian Hart’s wife. She is whisked away from her normal life into a life of a royal. Her father is taken by virus (yes, the one we or somebody else invented), so she doesn’t have anything to go back to, and every time she is even thinking about an escape the first night Devlan is telling her to think straight and to fight while she is in the castle. What the hell does he want from her right? Hmm… that’s for you to unfold in the book. Well, I suppose everyone remembers the legend about King Arthur, mainly I ask about the love triangle in the legend, and please don’t remember that movie with Kiera Nightly, because they got the triangle so wrong… Anyway, we all remember that Genevrine loves both Arthur and Lancelot? And blah, blah, blah? Well on that happy remainder, I will stop, and give you something to be prepared or rather to think of while reading the book: if we consider Zara as Genevrine, Sebastian as Arthur and Devlan as Lancelot, who do you think Trisha’s Genevrine will choose? Will she be with her husband or her lover? Well, that’s for you to unravel in the date of the publication. But what I wanted to talk about was why some of my favourite names are always associated with crazy villains in books? But I think it won’t be fair of me to talk about it now. So I guess, I will just have to make a separate post for it, what do you think about it? Is it a good idea?

The only thing I will say and that’s (I hope) to make you more interested, is that the idea of Camelot, the perfect realm has always been out there, but sometimes people can’t see wrong from right, and utopia is what we get. The book leaves you thrilled for more, and it sucks you nevertheless. I think you will like it as much as I did. Happy reading, and don’t forget to leave comments. J

P.S.

Is that me, or is that the same model on the cover as it was on Tiy and the Prince of Egypt by Debby Dee? Huh, both of the roles are somehow similar. Don’t forget to pre-order your copy of Fireblood now, and open a new adventure with new amazing characters. Enjoy JJ
