Harley is home for the summer. Her worst enemy and next door neighbor Spencer is also home for the summer. Spencer's mom and Harley's dad are having a relationship and Spencer's mom is selling her house to move in with Harley's family. Spencer and Harley are seriously attracted to each other and have this whole love/hate thing going on. Harley's friend suggests she have a no strings attached fling with Spencer. These two are really funny. They are so mean to each other between the times they aren't rolling around naked.

This book starts out very romantic and graphically erotic. Then a violent act happens and the plot changes to something sad and serious. Spencer, in a moment of weakness and stupidity, betrays Harley and they start fighting again.

There are a lot of plot twists in this book. 4 stars.

Morgan is at a bar trying to drown himself in Scotch. He has an immediate adverse reaction when he sees a man posting up a MISSING sign. Distracting him from his troubles is a game of Words with Friends.

The writing is so clever in this story. I was giggling through most of it. The more serious parts I thought were very compelling.

I thought this was a very interesting idea. Mysterious messages from the beyond using a trendy game like Words with Friends? A modern, redemption tale? Very clever. 4 stars.

A magical boy with magical hair hears the cry of his brother. His mother tells him to save the “children of the lost ones.” She also tells him: “There are three you must find, for they will lead the way when you are unable...” Then the mother turns into a small animal. “It looked like a weasel but slightly larger, and its fur was white and sleek with a black tip of a tail.” The magical boy, Teagan, opens a candy shop. Bean Sidhe finds a changeling child, Irial. Everyone in the town eats the magical confections from Kickshaw Candies except for Liam, whose mother insists he eat healthy. Liam's mother, Molly is really strict. Magical things happen when people give Liam food.

This story reads like a magical Irish fairy tale. There is so much going on in it. The story is interesting and unusual. And it is very well written. A lot of the traditional Irish folk tales are pretty creepy and violent. Each of Kickshaw Candies' chapters is like a short, scary fairy tale.

I am not familiar with Gaelic names so I had to google a lot of the pronunciations. Ceara = Carra. Ciaran = Kearon (rhymes with 'ear' 'on'. Osán = US awn. Baile = ball-yih. Fáelán = FWAY lawn. Dáirinn = DAWR inn. Riabhach = ree-eh-vak means with stripes. Aiséirí (Ash-eye-ree) . scáth (skaw)

Even with the trouble I had with Gaelic, I really liked this book a lot. I liked the dreamy, story telling tone and I thought it was really intriguing and exciting. 5 stars.

Alivyanna, “Liv” has purple eyes and is an empath. She witnesses a death and is told by her friend that there have been a lot of unexplainable deaths of girls. She tries to stay inside and away from people so as to keep her sanity. But friends from the salon where she is getting her hair done, insist she go out on her 21^st birthday. Liv meets Justice who saves her from a Spirit Stalker. Justice tries to convince Liv that she is supernatural but she doesn't take it well. “Pixies, vampires and suffering Seraphs, I’m having close encounters of all kinds.”

This is a fast paced well written book. This book was so good that I didn't want to stop reading it. Typically I read two books at a time and if I get bored of the first book, I will read the second one. Also, I sometimes will read for awhile then get bored and get on Facebook but this book was so good that I didn't want the world to distract me from it.

Justice and Liv have some romantic moments. “From the moment I laid eyes on him, I was his.” “Here, I open my heart to him, and now it feels like I fell in love with a Monet, beautiful from afar, a scattered mess up close.”

The writing is so romantic and emotional, I was really loving it. I really didn't want it to end, I was liking it so much. The end was so exciting, I was seriously entranced. Can't wait to read the next book. 4 stars.

Avangeline, (Angie) is from a mixed blood line of witch and vampire. Phoenix has been charged with protecting her and training her. Angie is locked away to train with Phoenix for the next couple months. “I truly despised vampyres anymore with their graceful, fluid movements, extremely heightened senses, and the ability to be total asses and still look hot doing it.” While training with Phoenix, Angie discovers that she has powers. The first novella I was liking as it set the scene and introduced the characters. My mind started wandering during the second novella and I was getting a little bored. I wasn't drawn into the story as much as I read it. The writing, I thought, was actually better in Angie's journal entries than the rest of the story. “Oh, and I made Phoenix stay with me last night... I seriously just didn't want him to go… I didn't like the thought of something happening to him without me being there to possibly help, it scared me a bit.” By the fourth novella I was getting into the story again. Angie and Phoenix have a bit of a tumultous relationship. I love you. I don't love you. I want you. I don't want you. And Angie is a very reluctant leader and savior. This was pretty good but I didn't like it as much as the other works I've read by this author. 3 stars.

This is James "Fang" Lore's story. I haven't read Book of Curses: The Renning Chronicles (Volume 1) , so I feel like I am going into this story blind. Fang is after the man who killed his mother. Fang is half human and half demonic god. The prose of this story is so very amazing. I was drawn into this world immediately. The writing is so good. It is descriptive and intriguing. I was really getting into this story and I want to know more about The Renning Chronicles. The characters were really good and sympathetic and I want to know more! 5 stars.

Aetina, “Goddess of Pain, Anger and Darkness” is the daughter of Zeus and Nyx the Goddess of Night. She is a forgotten god and living in present day New York. Her fellow forgotten god friend Sjorn asks her to join a support group for forgotten gods run by Chi. Aetina and Aphrodite have been feuding. Zeus chose Aphrodite as his favorite over Aetina and Aphrodite wants Aetina dead. It seems so funny to me that gods and goddesses are living mundane existences, working dead end jobs, microwaving popcorn and watching t.v. This is a really clever concept and it is well written. This was a really cute story and it made me smile. 4 stars.
