 Emily just wanted a normal life: a boyfriend, college, two parents who loved her. Instead, her dad disappeared when she was fourteen and her life at college is anything but ordinary.

When you can manipulate matter like putty and you have no idea why, how do you pretend to be like everyone else? What happens when you meet a guy who has the same powers? Do you trust him to help you find the answers you need?

Emily desperately wants to believe that Jax can help, but the stakes grow higher than she’d ever expected: someone is after them and they’re not afraid to use violence to get what they want.

 I thought this was interesting concept. The characters were a little flat for me at times. I wasn't immediately drawn into their lives and dramas. Sometimes the emotional connections felt rushed. The story was fast paced and well written. I thought it was pretty good but at times I wanted more from it. I am an X-men fan so I liked it for that reason. Very Kitty Pryde or the Tomorrow People. 4 stars.

Rough Diamond (The Diamond Series, #1)

by Cassandra Dean

Owner of the Diamond Saloon and Theater, Alice Reynolds is astounded when a fancy Englishman offers to buy her saloon. She won’t be selling her saloon to anyone, let alone a man with a pretty, empty-headed grin…but then, she reckons that grin just might be a lie, and a man of intelligence and cunning resides beneath.

Rupert Llewellyn has another purpose for offering to buy the pretty widow’s saloon—the coal buried deep in land she owns. However, he never banked on her knowing eyes making him weak at the knees, or how his deception would burn upon his soul.

Each determined to outwit the other, they tantalize and tease until passion explodes. But can their desire bridge the lies told and trust broken?

THE DIAMOND SERIES, BOOK 2

Christmas in Freewill

Christmas Eve, the Diamond Saloon is empty of its people, and Pearl la Monte has a hankering to retire early. A pounding at the Diamond’s door rids her of such a fool notion. Her irritation rises when she sees the prissy, polite-like Garrett standing outside.

Ethan Garrett has a powerful need to gain succor. When the saloon’s voluptuous redheaded singer scowls at him from the threshold of the Diamond, he doesn’t stop to think on how his ire at her has disappeared. Or how he just wants to spend some time in her company.

When a blizzard storms in, trapping them, will they spend their time arguing or find their irritation for each other disguises something more?

Cassandra grew up daydreaming, inventing fantastical worlds and marvelous adventures. Once she learned to read (First phrase – To the Beach. True story), she was never without a book, reading of other people’s fantastical worlds and marvelous adventures.

Fairy tales, Famous Fives, fantasies and fancies; horror stories, gumshoe detectives, science fiction; Cassandra read it all. Then she discovered Romance and a true passion was born.

So, once upon a time, after making a slight detour into the world of finance, Cassandra tried her hand at writing. After a brief foray into horror, she couldn’t discount her true passion. She started to write Romance and fell deep.

The love affair exists to this very day.

Cassandra lives in Adelaide, South Australia.

This is the final installment of the story begun with The Wood Sprite's Tale . I was struck immediately by how much more polished this story was than the first one. Serena has left her home and Fernand is on a quest to find her. There is an interesting back story explaining how Heithar became evil. This story is very dark and at times gory. This is a very talented writer and her work only gets better and better. She writes dark and morbid very well. 5 stars.

Sixteen-year-old Hagan Curtis is having a rough time and then he hears disembodied voices telling him to “find her”. A strange symbol from Hagan's English class matches the one that he finds in his dead brother's room. Then three spectral visitors show up. I thought it was funny that Hagan is reading King Lear in his English class, because when the three “weird sisters” show up, that reminded me of Macbeth. All the visitors yell is “Find Her!”. I wasn't sure how I felt about the story in the beginning. I didn't have an immediate connection to the characters. The story seemed kind of bland in the beginning but then it took a weird, supernatural turn. There are different realms, is what is explained to Hagan. Realm of Water, Mist, Flesh, Blood, the beings from these different realms are commonly referred to as humans, ghosts, zombies and vampires. There are portals that connect the realms. Hagan is part of a triad to police the realms. This book started getting really good and exciting after that and I was enjoying it. 4 stars.

Margaret Collins changed her name and escaped her life because of her heart being broken by Mike Taylor. He humiliated her when she was 17 years old, then 17 years later she meets him again and he doesn't remember her. A lot of women have that one man who got away, the one man that they judge all other men against, for Riley that is Mike. This guy is a total take charge alpha male and Riley loves it. I personally don't go the submissive route, so I wouldn't like a guy telling me what to do and ordering for me at dinner. I think Mike is kind of a jerk and Riley shouldn't fall for it. But she seems to like being told what to do. The two of them are very naughty and erotic together. This book is for mature, over 18 audiences only. 4 stars.

19-year-old Emma is a survivor in a post-apocalyptic world. It has been ten years since the sickness and now she is on her own. Her only friend is a wolf, Leo. Em has survived by being a coward and hiding. Then there is a knock on her door and her solitary existence is shattered. Em meets 16-year-old Anna and her brother, 21-year-old Jake. Em had a survivalist father so she knows how to survive on her own. I don't know why it took me this long to read something by this author, she is amazing. The writing is outstanding. I am just in awe. I am going to need to pick up some more books by her. She is seriously an incredible writer. This book ends on a cliffhanger. Have to get the next book and find out what happens. 5 stars.
