Review Born at Midnight

(Shadow Falls Novel)

by: C.C. Hunter

Don’t miss this spectacular new series that will steal your heart and haunt your dreams,  Welcome to Shadow Falls camp, nestled deep in the woods of a town called Fallen…

One night Kylie Galen finds herself at the wrong party, with the wrong people, and it changes her life forever.  Her mother ships her off to Shadow Falls—a camp for troubled teens, and within hours of arriving, it becomes painfully clear that her fellow campers aren’t just “troubled.”  Here at Shadow Falls, vampires, werewolves, shapshifters, witches and fairies train side by side—learning to harness their powers, control their magic and live in the normal world.

Kylie’s never felt normal, but surely she doesn’t belong here with a bunch of paranormal freaks either.  Or does she?  They insist Kylie is one of them, and that she was brought here for a reason.  As if life wasn’t complicated enough, enter Derek and Lucas.  Derek’s a half-fae who’s determined to be her boyfriend, and Lucas is a smokin’ hot werewolf with whom Kylie shares a secret past.  Both Derek and Lucas couldn’t be more different, but they both have a powerful hold on her heart. 

Even though Kylie feels deeply uncertain about everything, one thing is becoming painfully clear—Shadow Falls is exactly where she belongs…

WOW! This book has everything I love best... Vamps, werewolves, witches, Fae and more! Awesome story line and interesting characters. It didn't take long to be swallowed up by the mysterious place. The author does an excellent job of describing the world in which she has created and you want to be there. Pack a bag and head off to Shadow Falls camp... You won't want to leave!!


Get it...Enjoy it...

Review: Possess by Gretchen McNeil

Review: Possess

by Gretchen McNeil

Fifteen-year-old Bridget Liu just wants to be left alone: by her mom, by the cute son of a local police sergeant, and by the eerie voices she can suddenly and inexplicably hear. Unfortunately for Bridget, it turns out the voices are demons – and Bridget has the rare ability to banish them back to whatever hell they came from.

Terrified to tell people about her new power, Bridget confides in a local priest who enlists her help in increasingly dangerous cases of demonic possession. But just as she is starting to come to terms with her new power, Bridget receives a startling message from one of the demons. Now Bridget must unlock the secret to the demons' plan before someone close to her winds up dead – or worse, the human vessel of a demon king.

My Review:

5x5

Let me start with...This is not my usual cup of tea. However, I love reading in general and this had a very interesting summary, So I am glad I got to be in on this tour!


The cover art is eye catching and very well goes with the story inside the book. This is a very good stand alone read. The Characters are all well developed and interesting in their own ways. You have a lovely and strong female lead and the male lead is a great match-up. All of the other characters are funny and quirky at times. 


The story itself is unique and entertaining although after starting it I really didn't think I was going to enjoy it at all... but as it went along and the story developed I was thoroughly surprised and got carried away on an adventure! 


If you like/want something thrilling, adventurous, suspenseful, and a tad bit of romance thrown in make sure and pick this great read up on OCT. 4th 2011!! 


Big Thank you again to Once Upon a Twilight for hosting the ARC book tour!

Review: 5x5 

I remember writing a fan-fiction once and I thought it was so funny to leave a story off with something to make everyone reading going NOOO!! you can't just leave it there get back here! Well that is what happened to me when I finished this... I still absolutely adore this book! The start is good but you must have background on your main character to see any progress with them and she gives that. As Brett wakes on Verita everything(and I mean everything) gets interesting!!

Want a great Sci-fi with some romance and thrilling adventure?? GET THIS!!
