Armageddon happened and it is Hell on Earth with Demons and Angels alongside the human beings left behind after the Rapture and druids. Ben Daniels really has a way with words. His writing is really interesting. “The way she walks is almost like seduction without saying a single word.” “I can sit here and look at her all day and never grow bored.” I really liked the descriptions of what the female characters were wearing. Cole is not a perfect protagonist, he doesn't want to fight in a war, he just wants to be left alone. I also liked that he doesn't have a perfect physique, he has a four pack instead of a six pack. I thought this made him more relatable as a character. The beginning is a bit slow as the author sets the story and then BAM things start getting exciting. It took me to about halfway through to start getting into it, but then I was definitely hooked. 4 stars.

Nanee's review of Ember's Curse (prime wolf #1) by Gena D. Lutz

If you love paranormal romances this is a must read! The characters are perfectly written. I'll try not to give away too much...Ember is a wolf/ vampire with all sorts of life issues within her pack. She hangs with her wolf pack mate Nathan and has a roommate Harper whose a vampire. This book is full of mystical creatures with twists and turns. In comes Collin a force to be reckoned with..gotta love the immediate chemistry between Collin and Ember...the description of their surroundings throughout the story makes you feel your within their world...one of my favorite characters besides Collin and Ember is Dane!!!! This author has quit the imagination, great read....can't wait to read more by her....

17-year-old Audra is a WindWalker, sylph or air elemental. She is 17-year-old Vane's guardian. She helped save him from the tornado that killed his parents and she is keeping him from dating, touching or kissing a girl. Vane's mind was wiped and his heritage hidden from him. Vane is the last Westerly and extremely important to the sylphs. The relationship between Audra and Vane was really interesting. Vane is a very reluctant hero. I liked how this story came together, the pacing was really good. I also really liked the magical aspects too. 4 stars.

Perry lives in Portland, OR and she hates her receptionist job, so already I love her. I live in Portland, OR too! I hated my 3 ½ year, soul sucking job, working in an office so much, I quit! She and I have so much in common. We could totally be friends. Except I don't say things like motorbike and housecoat. When visiting her uncle, Perry feels strangely compelled to explore an old lighthouse, or darkhouse, since it isn't in working order. Perry meets ghost hunter Dex. Perry has reoccurring dreams and visitations by people who only she can see. Dex convinces Perry to work with him on a ghosthunters webshow. And just like that, Perry has a purpose in life. Me, I'm still looking for mine. This was a really good, spooky ghost adventure. I loved these two characters a lot. The ghost story mystery is really scary. I definitely want to read more in this series. 5 stars.

I was gifted this book for an honest review. Thank You!

Owen spots Kristen and starts following her. They are werewolves and she is his chosen mate. The werewolf pack is endangered and Owen needs Kristen to be welcomed into her werewolf nature and continue his species. A violent shapeshifter also is interested in Kristen. This is a really quick, racy, read. “Tell me how bad you want me. How I am the only one who can make you feel this way. Tell me you’re mine.” The paranormal turf war going on makes this story really exciting. The interaction between Owen and Kristen was very erotic and romantic. I liked this story a lot. 4 stars.

18-year-old Claire is dying to be a model. She is 6 foot tall, wears size 2 jeans and still thinks she is fat. She calls her size 10 sister, the 'fat sister'. Claire is obsessed with body image, with being perfect, with becoming famous and being seen. She is very shallow and the story unflinchingly portrays her downward spiral. It is so sad that someone could want something so bad that they would be willing to slowly starve to death to reach their goal. It is a very uncomfortable subject: eating disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, the fashion industry and dying to be thin. It seems to me that at 18, Claire is a little old to be starting out, I have heard of girls who break out in the fashion industry at 12. Claire meets Emmett and he is her salvation. “I feel like I'm suffocating, like I can get all the air I need to breathe from his lips alone.” This book is so amazingly well written and so sad. Then it ends. Claire's story of redemption is to be continued. 5 stars.
