Feature and Follow {10}

Image
Feature & Follow is a weekly post hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read . "Increase blog followers, gain book blog followers, and make new friends with the book blogger Feature & Follow." This week's question is: Q. If you could choose one supernatural being/creature to really exist what would it be and why? My current new favorite supernatural series is Cambion by Shannon Dermott. ( Beg for Mercy #1 , Waiting for Mercy #2 and novella No Mercy #2.5 )  This series features a range of supernatural beings but my favorite has to be Nephilim (or as a 2nd favorite choice Fallen Angels would work).  Hot guys who are inherently good because of they are part angel, and often times play the part of the bad boy persona.  Let me remind you of a few others - Daniel Grigori from the Fallen series and Patch (who is actually a fallen angel) from the Hush, Hush series. However, I wouldn't mind some Vampire Warriors either like the Black D...

Beautiful Disaster - Review

Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful #1) By: Jamie McGuire Published: May 26, 2011 437 pages Source: Christmas gift from my snl Sandy @ Somewhere Only We Know and bnl ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: INTENSE. DANGEROUS. ADDICTIVE. Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand. Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby wants—and needs—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apar...

Waiting on Never Too Far

Image
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post hosted by Breaking the Spine . Each week bloggers participate to share what book they are anticipating the arrival of. I've been MIA with this meme since December 12th.  Partly because of the busyness of life and partly because I just didn't have any books I was waiting on that I hadn't already shared.  Then came Fallen Too Far, which I won from a giveaway in December in ebook format.  I literally devoured it in just over a day - I did have to actually do housework, cook, and pay attention to my husband and kids during that time, otherwise I would've finished it much sooner. So, the book I am most anxious to get my hands on right now is... Never Too Far  by Abbi Glines If you haven't read book 1, check out my review , and then go read it ASAP! What are you waiting on this week? Leave me a comment with a link to your WoW.

She is his new stepfather's daughter.  She is still naïve and innocent due to spending the last three years taking care of her sick mother.  But for twenty-four year old Rush Finlay, she is the only thing that has ever been off limits.

Feature and Follow {9}

Image
Feature and Follow is a weekly post hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read . "Increase blog followers, gain book blog followers, and make new friends with the book blogger Feature & Follow." This week's question is: Q. What new year's blogging or writing resolution have you placed on yourself? I don't make New Year's "resolutions".  And the reason is because I feel it's too much pressure to put on myself for if I don't accomplish it I feel like a failure.  However, I am a firm believer in setting goals (which I suppose if we want to get nit-picky it's all semantics, and probably the same thing).  Goals however, I do not feel like a failure if I don't make.  It's something I aim for and feel really good about when I complete it.  Maybe it's mental, but I set goals all the time, not just at New Year's, and it takes the pressure of failing off of me if I don't meet a goal. Now for ...

No Mercy - Review

Image
No Mercy (Cambion #2.5) By: Shannon Dermott Published: July 24, 2012 by Wicked Truth Publishing Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: This is a novella in the Cambions series. Even though it is set before Beg for Mercy it should be read after Waiting for Mercy.  Warning - this book is intended for mature audience. Excessive language and sexual situations may not be suitable for younger teens. Best Friends until the end huh? Flynn McAllister, bad to the bone, at least that’s what the girls say about him, is heading out of town for the weekend. He’s meeting up with a girl he met last summer. She and her sister will keep him and his best friend busy for the weekend. At least that’s what he thought, until a girl and other things get out of hand. Luke Bishop isn’t an angel like everyone thinks. Okay, technically, maybe. But when it comes down to it, actions speak louder than words. And his shout that he’s more than what meets the eye. Getting out o...
