Damn! Well what can I say! I haven't been on here in well over a year and I've read A LOT in that time I've been away. New genres have entered my life and roleplaying played a big part in me not paying attention to my blog. But I'm back and ready to carry on placing the books I've read on here for all to see. Hope you all enjoy what I've come across. :)

Retribution (Dark-Hunter 20) by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Sypnosis
Prepare to enter a world full of richly imagined mythology - a world where dark and dangerous heroes fight to protect us. Prepare to enter an endless battle. Prepare to lose yourself . . .

Hired gunslinger William Jessup Brady lived his life with one foot in the grave - until the day he finally found a reason to live. In a single act of betrayal, he lost everything, including his life. Brought back by a Greek goddess to be one of her Dark-Hunters, he gave his immortal soul for vengeance and swore he'd spend eternity protecting the humans he'd once considered prey.

Orphaned as a toddler, Abigail Yager was taken in by a family of vampires and raised with one belief: Dark-Hunters sre the evil who prey on both their people and mankind, and they must all be destroyed.

Brought together by an angry god and chased by ancient enemies out to kill them both, William and Abigail must find a way to overcome their mutual hatred or watch as one of the darkest of powers rises and kills both the races they've sworn to protect.

What I thought
Ok, I'm not gonna lie to you, I counted down the months for this novel. Being a Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dark-Hunter fan I couldn't wait for it to stack up on the bookshop shelves. Anyway, I bought it and started it straight away, and I wasn't disappointed. I finished it in one sitting, it was brilliant which I expected it to be anyway. I loved both characters - and usually I lean towards the male - but Abigail was refreshing and awesome and the story was, to me, very mesmerizing. I never like giving things away, so there is definitely no spoilers, but this book is brilliant. I recommend this books and series to all paranormal fans...it's amazing!


This is the video I chose to go with the book...enjoy!!!

Dragon Actually (Dragon Kin Series) by G.A. Aiken

What's on the back of the book

It's not always easy being a female warrior with a nickname like Annwyl the Bloody. Men tend to either cower in fear-a lot-or else salute. It's true that Annwyl has a knack for decapitating legions of her ruthless brother's soldiers without pausing for breath. But just once it would be nice to be able to really talk to a man, the way she can talk to Fearghus the Destroyer.

Too bad that Fearghus is a dragon, of the large, scaly, and deadly type. With him, Annwyl feels safe-a far cry from the feelings aroused by the hard-bodied, arrogant knight Fearghus has arranged to help train her for battle. With her days spent fighting a man who fills her with fierce, heady desire, and her nights spent in the company of a magical creature who could smite a village just by exhaling, Annwyl is sure life couldn't get any stranger.
She's wrong...
[And just wait until you meet the rest of the family...]

My Rating
Loved it! I could wait to read the next ones so I bought the Ebooks straight away! It's definitely a 5/5 for this book.

Heavenly by Jennifer Laurens

What's on the back of the book
I met someone who changed everything.
Matthias.
My autistic sister's guardian angel.
Honest. Inspiring. Funny.
Hot.
And immortal.
That was the problem.
What could I do?
I did what any other girl would do - I fell in love with him.

Zoe's sister darts in front of cars. Her brother's a pothead. Her parents are so overwhelmed; they don't see Zoe's lost in her broken life. Zoe escapes the only way she knows how: partying.

Matthias, a guardian angel sent from Heaven, watches over Zoe's autistic sister. After Zoe is convinced he's legit, angel and lost girl come together in a love that changes destiny.

But Heaven on Earth can't last forever.

I got this book for my birthday from the author Jennifer Laurens.

Something is wrong with Kaylee Cavanaugh...

She can sense when someone near her is about to die. And when that happens, a force beyond her control compels her to scream bloody murder. Literally.

Kaylee just wants to enjoy having caught the attention of the hottest boy in school. But a normal date is hard to come by when Nash seems to know more about the dark forces behind Kaylee's powers than she does.

And when classmates start dropping dead for no apparent reason and only Kaylee knows who'll be next, she realises that finding a boyfriend is the least of her worries!

As her world becomes even deadlier, Kiara must entrust her life to the same kind of beast who once killed her mother and left her for dead.

Manuel Manello, MD, is drafted by the Brotherhood to save Payne - but when the human surgeon and the vampire warrior meet, their two worlds collide in the face of their undeniable passion.
