Blurb

I lost her.

No, I didn’t lose her. I threw her away.

She was my best friend.

I was never supposed to fall in love with her.

I was careless.

She was heartbroken.

I thought I was doing fine. But here she is, years later, forced to work with me, reminding me why I fell in love with her in the first place.

And this time I’m going to do everything in my power to never let her go.

“All things truly wicked start from innocence.” – Ernest Hemingway
I hear screams in my head.
I see blood on my hands.
When I look in the mirror I see a stranger.
How is it that I can remember bits and pieces of my life, but nothing of any importance and nothing that makes any sense? Everything is twisted and nothing is right. I’m choking with every breath I take, suffocating on the unknown.
Two days ago, everything changed. Two days ago, the people I should trust the most became strangers in my convoluted head. The dreams I have can’t be real. The fleeting memories that whisper through my mind are scary and wrong…they have to be. If they aren’t, I have something much worse to fear than my fractured mind. I need to find out the truth, even if it destroys me.
I’ve been told my name is Ravenna Duskin. I’m eighteen years old and I live in a prison…

Check out our 5 smooches review  HERE.

 

Before I can command my feet to move toward the shape—the safer of the two evils—I hear another sound in the opposite direction and foolishly turn my head. Something heavy and solid crashes against my skull and I feel myself falling. Darkness descends over me one last time, covering my eyes, clogging my ears and stealing the breath from my lungs. Nothing will ever be the same again.
Nothing will ever be good again.
It will all be bad.
Bad
Bad
Bad.

Review

UMMM . . . WHAT DID I JUST READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no way this was brought to us by the same mind that wrote Seduction and Snacks, Burned and Ficher’s Light! Tara has been hiding this dark and twisted soul deep within and I honestly fear for the well being of her husband and children!

Two days ago something happened and now Ravenna Duskin is on the search for her memories and to find out who she really is.

0011110

Really that is all you should know before going into this intriguing psychological thriller. I came up with a new theory and had new questions with every clue we discovered and while I might not ever sleep the same at night I can hope that many of you will join me on this crazy journey and delve into the twisted mind that Tara has been hiding behind her fun personality and happier books.

So please, buy the book, read the book them I beg you message me because I need to talk to someone about this crazy, astonishingly intricate and exciting book. Also I might need you to hold me as I rock back and forth mumbling . . . fair warning!

Synopsis

 

Everyone knows you should never say never.

Cooper Moore never saw Maggie Williams coming. She was just his best friend’s little sister, the curly-haired, freckle-faced girl from Mississippi who was absolutely off limits. And he never thought about her any other way — not until he saw her that night, broken and brave. From that moment on, he knew he’d do whatever it took to protect her, even if it meant he had to stay away.
Maggie never expected to find her fiancé banging her maid of honor an hour before she was set to walk down the aisle, but life’s funny that way. The only option to save her sanity is to get the hell out of Jackson and move to New York where her brother lives. The only downside: Cooper is there too. And she just doesn’t know if she can stay away from him — the filthy rich, dead sexy playboy who’s allergic to commitment.
The second Maggie sees him again, she realizes he’ll be impossible to resist. Luckily, commitment is the last thing on her mind, and Cooper is the perfect escape. As long as she can keep her heart in check, everything will be just fine. Because she can never have feelings for him. Or at least that’s what she’ll keep telling herself.

About the author

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life — a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can’t forget that. She’s also been a mom; she has three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She’s been a wife; even though she’s certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She’s also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she’s been drinking whiskey. Her favorite word starts with f and ends with k.

From roots in Houston, to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she’s not writing, she’s sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

About TO THE STARS:

In the second book in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Molly McAdams’ Thatch series, Knox Alexander must convince his long-time love Harlow Evans that they’re meant to be together.

He promised to wait for her.
She told him he was wasting his time.
Not waiting for him ended up being the biggest mistake of her life.

When they were younger, Knox Alexander swore to Harlow Evans that he would wait for her to turn eighteen so they could be together. But that was two and a half years away, and Harlow couldn’t ask him to give up all the fun and thrills of going away to college for her. As the years passed, Knox remained a constant in her life—whether she liked it or not—but when her eighteenth birthday came around, Harlow’s heart belonged to someone else.

Author PhotoAbout Molly McAdams:

Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband, daughter, and fur babies. When she’s not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach … which roughly translates to being a homebody with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and fried pickles, and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm … or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren’t really happening.

Beneath Blood and Bone by Madeline Sheehan and Claire C. Riley Blog Tour

BBaB Front Blurb

It is the end of the world.

They call him Eagle, like the grand and beautiful bird that symbolizes freedom. During these dark times, when humanity is experiencing nothing but suffering, a man with such a powerful name should be a beacon of hope, yet he is anything but.

Her name is Autumn, but she hasn’t said this name or much of anything else in the four years since the fall of civilization. A shell of her former self, living wild in a cave at the bottom of a ravine, Autumn is accustomed to being alone. She prefers it, actually, especially when her only options for company either try to kill her, or worse, to lock her up inside their walls.

Captured by Eagle’s people, Autumn is suddenly thrust back into the land of the living, but she would hardly call it living. The community of Purgatory is full of sinners, the most evil of whom seem to have set their sights on her.

In an act born of anger and defiance, Eagle becomes Autumn’s unexpected savior, forcing these two solitary people into each other’s broken worlds. Neither knows quite what to make of the other, but one thing is certain. To survive Purgatory, they must learn how to rely on each other, a feat that could possibly teach them both how to live again.

Teaser

“There she was, lying on top of a filthy table, surrounded by rusty weapons, blades still covered in dried blood, and guns that needed to be cleaned and oiled. But her skin was pale and clean, a vivid contrast to what surrounded her. To the filth that surrounded everyone. She was good, a tiny slice of goodness surrounded by filth, and I wanted to be a part of that. No, fuck, I needed to be a part of that.”

Review

 

LAWD MERCY!  Guys, there were a million things that I absolutely loved about this book but let us start with that cover.  It is hot and a little scary and so very sums up Eagle.  I adore it!  Now, this is the second book in the Thicker Than Blood Series.  I would definitely recommend that you read Thicker Than Blood first even though this could probably be a standalone.  There are a couple of reasons; one, Thicker Than Blood is freaking awesome and two, being you get introduced to Purgatory and you meet Eagle.  Being introduced to Purgatory and Eagle is kind of a big deal because you really get an idea of how bad Purgatory and Eagle are.  In fact, I couldn’t decide who was worse.  But I admit, I was desperate for Eagle’s book.  Because I love a mean book boyfriend and Eagle really is the meanest of the mean.

I won’t go into too much plot detail because I really do not want to spoil this amazing book for anyone and really, everything about it is kind of epic and spoily, if you know what I mean.  But I will say that while the first book wasn’t really what I would consider a romance in every sense of the word, but this one is.  Oh, it so is.  And this romance loving girl ate up every bit of it.  I could not stop.  I read this book in one sitting.  I was hooked.  I was in Purgatory (hell on earth) right along with Eagle and Autumn and I was falling in love too.

‘She was good, a tiny slice of goodness surrounded by filth, and I wanted to be a part of that.’

It is odd how love can still flourish in the most awful of places, in saddest and most terrible of circumstances, but it can.  Even to people have lost everything and everyone.

‘We weren’t prepared, not for this, not for an enemy who wore your wife’s face, who had your daughter’s eyes, your son’s dimples.’

Oh, the feels, guys.  At times this book was gut wrenching and miserable and still I couldn’t stop because I knew there was the potential for so much and just like these broken characters, I had such hope for the future.  When I wasn’t overwhelmed by all of the feels, I was engulfed in the inferno of sexual tension between Autumn and Eagle and it seemed to go on and on and man I love a good build up to the sexy time.  I love fevered seeming to never end kisses.  I love looks of longing and stolen glances of love and this story had so many.

‘All I wanted to do was kiss her again, kiss her and touch her, and make the world go quiet.’

I also really enjoyed getting to know some really awesome new characters and revisiting the ones I hate.  Yeah, I am talking about you LIV!  You are an asshole of epic proportions and I do not know how I will ever get over it.

So, yes, one of my favorite books this year will probably be a sci-fi/fantasy/post-apocalyptic/horror/zombie type of romance.  Which sounds absolutely crazy to say but it SO the damn truth.  I am already dying of the next one.  These stories are just getting better and better!

‘Beneath the blood and bone, there was nothing.’

I laugh. “I know how to use my gun, thank you very much—I’m just not allowed to use it

their trials, things like that. It isn’t always a walk in the park, a good deal of them run or attempt

“I’ll think about it, but it is a good plan.”

I hear her clap and squeal. “While you’re at it, get some of that fine ass for yourself.”

“I think that’s against the code. . . .”

I laugh, flopping down onto my couch. “You’re a rebel, Kady…”

prove my team wrong, and get the chance to expand my career. It all sounds simple, but I have

no doubt whatsoever that it won’t be. Raide is a hard man, and he’s going to think I’m a great big

joke when I turn up, trying to seduce him. I can only hope he’s seducible.

Review

“Seduce Raide Knox, prove team wrong, and get chance to expand my career. It all sounds simple, but I have no  doubt whatsoever that it won’t be.”

Let’s be honest here and say that not only am I a Bella Jewel newbie but I decided not to read the blurb and go in blind to this book so I had convinced myself that this was a fighter book, a genre I love dearly. I quickly realize that I was completely wrong and while at first I expected to be disappointed I was so immediately sucked into Raide and Grace’s story that I had no time to dwell on my misconceptions.

“Raide Knox doesn’t like women who flaunt themselves in front of him. No, Raide Knox like them wild and badass, but more than that, he likes a challenge.”

Unlike her two beauty queen sisters, Grace takes after her bad ass of a dad and has been working for the past five years to get the males of her field to take her ad her skills as a bounty hunter seriously. Finally given her first big chance she must bring in fugitive Raide Knox. Raide is wanted for on some serious and dangerous charges. A connection and sparks fly upon their first meeting and when Grace decides to use their attraction as a way to bring him in she finds she is placing herself in a questionable position that she is not sure she can maneuver out of . . . or if she wants to.

“God. His smile. It’s huge. And wolfish. And sexy as hell.”

Hard To Fight was DYNAMIC! I loved Grace and how she had a tough job and was wild, strong and kinda tom-boyish and yet never did she feel manly to me (a problem I have encountered in other books with similar heroines.) Being who she is not always easy and has alienated her from her mom and sisters and yet she always stays true to herself. Not only is this admirable it is a joy to read. Raide, for his part, was dark, myserious and dangerous but more than all that he was charming and fun and caring when needed. I fell hard for this “Bad Boy” and knew the moment I met him there must be more to his story.

“How the hell am I going to survive when I lose him? And it’s not a matter of “if” in this situation, it’s a matter of “when.”

I am kicking myself currently for taking this long to read a Bella Jewel book and I can promise you that there will be many more in my future. Hard To Fight was an intense roller coaster full of heat, action, forbidden romance and progressive characters. If you love alpha men but want a twist on the typical story than this one is probably perfect for you.
