Troll Cries By: Ashley C. Harris Published: January 31, 2017 Source: ebook, Netgalley ARC from publisher ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Abby and Wilhelm's adventure continues in a game of deadly secrets and magical warfare. Who will remain human and who will escape alive becomes anybody's guess when trolls and knights are involved. TROLL CRIES, the sequel to Ashley C. Harris's international bestselling novel TROLL, will leave her readers gasping for more.   MY REVIEW: It's not you....it's me? I'm not completely sure, but whatever the reason/s, it took me entirely too long to finish this book. From March 2nd to April 13th to be exact. Blame it on my kids busy schedule...blame it on my attention being elsewhere, blame it on the book not keeping me fully invested. There was a lot of reasons really why I just didn't feel like picking this one back up but I didn't really want to DNF it either. So I pushed on....and on....and on. For 42 stink...

Everything Ivy Morgan thought she knew has been turned on its head.

The Blood Scion (The Scion Legacy #1) By: Nazarea Andrews Published: November 21, 2015 by A&A Literary 186 pages Source: Personal Kindle library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: I was just a reporter, trying to stay ahead of my student loans. I knew the rules, and I followed them.  I thought I knew how the world worked—humans lived their petty little lives in the safety of the sun. We loved and fought and—when the sun sank—we scurried behind our walls and lived in fear. That is when the monsters came out to play.  And even in the safety of the sun, we knew who ruled us.  The Houses. And their Scions.  Everyone knows the great Houses and their Scions—they are feared and loved and hated and envied. They are the gods who walk the shadows and rule all of our lives. They are salvation and death.  And somehow, I am one of them. MY REVIEW: There are 12 vampire houses which are the 12 vampire lines, each house with a patriarch and then...

The Scionless House (The Scion Legacy 0.5) By: Nazarea Andrews Published: October 30, 2015 by A&A Literary 62 pages Source: Personal Kindle library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Twelve Houses. Twelve vampire lines. We ruled from the shadows, and manipulated the world, and when humans came too close to destruction, we intervened.  Every House has a Scion. A fragile, easily broken human that stood shoulder to shoulder with the house Princes and Princesses.  Except for ours. The Ravens, House Cantelie.  We've been without a Scion for almost fifteen years.  But that will change...and her life will be mine to protect. MY REVIEW: For a freebie novella, which was recommended to read before reading book one in the series, this short 62 pages was enough to wet my appetite in the vampire genre again. As the Goodreads summary says, there are 12 vampire houses which are the 12 vampire lines, each house with a patriarch and then a hierarchy of...

Wicked (A Wicked Sage #1) By: Jennifer L. Armentrout Published: December 8, 2014 300 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Things are about to get  Wicked  in New Orleans. Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost  everything  at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart. Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm.
