The Sacrifice
Forbidden #1
ARe Amazon iTunes Kobo

There's a fine line between mysticism and madness. . . one they must cross to win.

London psychiatrist Wesley Atherton is a man of science. He doesn't believe in love at first sight, but he’s inexplicably drawn to a green-eyed American beauty he bumps into on the Tube. Just his luck that Katherine, a fashion design intern, has an engagement ring on her finger.

Wes knows a thing or two about people, though. Instinct tells him there's something more than irresistible temptation behind their attraction. She doesn't love her fiancé, he's sure of it—now if only he can convince her they're meant to be together.

Surviving a deadly train wreck is the first sign his intuition is spot on. The second: a psychic who warns them the Reaper doesn't like to be cheated out of its quarry. The situation defies all logic, but a string of strange and lethal events convinces Wes that he and Katherine are living on borrowed time. Pitted in a battle against death itself, Wes will do anything, make any sacrifice, to protect the woman he loves.

Elizabeth "Liz" Frost has always been the wild one. But now, with a niece or nephew on the way and her promise to become half of the new psychic Oracle team for the Blood Ravagers Biker Gang, she's ready to turn over a new leaf. And what better way to start than by answering the call when gang leader Dante needs help? Her mission: to travel cross-country to get the information the gang needs to complete the Oracle Binding Ceremony. Should be easy, right? Except for the incredibly tempting lone-wolf shifter named Dex who'll be her riding partner and protector on the journey.

Dexter "Dex" MacCallahan is tasked with guarding Liz Frost, one of the gang's beautiful and bewildering new psychics. Dex can't refuse the mission, but there's one small problem. The time of his Rut is approaching, a rare occurrence where male wolf-shifters must physically bond with their chosen mate or face certain insanity and death. It could cost him not only the new life he's built, but also his battered, scarred heart.

Together, Dex and Liz must search for the information they need before his old nemesis and a rival gang annihilates all they hold dear. But when the simmering chemistry between them boils over into searing hot passion, will they risk losing their hearts to save the ones they love?

Genre: Urban Fantasy

Review Copy Source: Author

My name is Pamela, and I am a witch.

I will protect Rylee’s pack, my family, at all costs. They are my greatest treasure, one I never dreamed to have. And I will defend them – even to the damning of my soul.

The demons have been beaten back, but I can feel darkness lurking just beyond my sight. Darkness that is coming for those I love. To protect them, I will chance everything on a stranger.

Raven is an Elemental of great power whose words resonate within my soul. Yet while he calls to my inner spirit, I know I cannot trust him.

To prove I am worthy of his tutelage, I must complete three tasks before he will teach me the one spell I want above all others. A way to bring home loved ones taken too soon.

His first mission will drop me straight into the fiery heart of the elemental world where there waits for me both death . . .and life.

Now I must salvage my courage and conquer Raven’s challenges, or be prepared to lose everything I hold dear to my heart.

After reading and finishing the Rylee Adamson series, I thought that I had a good grasp on who Pamela was. I was wrong.

Pamela's story is far from over, but PAMELA really helps you get to know her as a person, a witch, and gives you more of a grasp on who she is to the family she has come to love and those that are still yet to join. I have always known that Pamela loves deeply and would do anything for her family and PAMELA proves that and more.

There has been little hints that the events that happened at the end of PAMELA were going to happen, but I was still surprised that it in fact happened and how. I honestly have no clue what will happen next for the Rylee Adamson crew. It seems like a lot of things we thought we knew—for both this series and the Elemental series— are being turned upside down and flipped inside out.  The only way to find out what will come next is to read more and that is what I plan to do.

I gave it 4/5 stars

New York Times bestseller Jennifer Estep continues her Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series with a novella starring Silvio Sanchez, the vampire assistant of Gin Blanco, as he goes on a holiday date that turns out to be more deadly than romantic.

Working for Gin Blanco (aka the Spider, the assassin who runs the Ashland underworld) doesn’t leave much time for romance, especially with Gin’s holiday party planning in full swing. But when he catches the eye of a charming gentleman, Silvio finds himself going out for coffee.

All’s fair in love and war, though. Just as Silvio is starting to enjoy himself, he realizes he’s being watched. His nice guy date doesn’t sense the danger, and Silvio wants to keep it that way (and, well, keep the guy alive) so Silvio ends the date early—only to be abducted by some villainous giants.

Will Silvio survive the night and make it back to the Pork Pit in time for Gin’s holiday party? Only if he decks the hall with bodies...

Review: Hunter by Sarai Henderson

Hunter

Author: Sarai Henderson

Release Date: July 8, 2016

Publisher: Evernight Teen

ISBN13:  9781772339208

Genre: Young Adult Fantasy

Review Copy Source: NetGalley

Sixteen-year-old Hunter belongs to the Telepathic Alliance for the Latent or Newly manifested, otherwise known as Talon, a bounty hunter community known for their ruthless tactics. Her latest mission in San Diego was supposed to be a piece of cake, but when the job takes a treacherous and deadly turn, not even her telepathic abilities could have warned her of the dangers lurking around the corner.

There's only one place for Hunter to go, and that's straight into the hands of the government and their Psychic Intelligence Team, but even the “normal” world isn’t safe. With each passing hour throwing her deeper into the game of life and death, Hunter must decide who to trust before this mission becomes her last.

HUNTER was quick flowing and easy to dive into, I had no trouble staying in the story until the end.

My review for HUNTER will be short and sweet, like the book. Although the story is on the shorter side, there is a lot to it. Hunter as a characters was unique, easy to like and there were a few side characters that I loved. There were a lot of twists and turns thrown into HUNTER and lots of action too. The conflicts were filled with danger and kept the suspense up. There is a nice fast pace from front to end, I really can't think of any complaints.

I think HUNTER is a standalone, but I would read more in this world.

I gave it 4/5 stars
