Blood Rites By Quinn Loftis



"With the challenge complete and the corrupt Alpha of Coldspring defeated Fane is now free to complete the mate bond with Jacque and perform the Blood Rites. Although the challenge is done, the affects are far reaching. Once it is known that Vasile, one of the strongest Alphas in the world is in America, specifically Coldspring, TX, there is one Alpha who cannot over look the significance of this. An Alpha who happens to share Jacque's DNA, but is this the one she needs to fear? 

With her mom driving and her two best friends, Jen and Sally in tow, Jacque sets off for her happily ever after. She will soon realize a plan has been put in motion that will change her course and possibly tear her from Fane's grasp forever. It will take a wolf pack, her mother's love, her two best friend's unrelenting determination, her own will to survive and the undying love of her mate to bring her home. The question remains, if she fights, if she endures, who will she be, what will be left once she is back in her mates arms?"


5 out of 5 stars

Again this book blew my mind. I guess I am addicted to possessive werewolves. Though I believe that Jen reminds me more of myself and I keep picturing my husband as Decebel. This book was amazing it is 5:30 am and I have not slept yet. This book left me with a wonderful cliff hanger of hope and then I realized I had to move on to the next book. 

I don't want to spoil this for readers but the characters just get better and better. My favorite of course is Jen and Decebel. This book is amazing and my butt is so tired from sitting in one spot for so long I might need to go for a run or a cold shower. The romance in this book was exhilarating. Sexual tension was on fire!  Every page I read I could feel myself unable to stop till I was satisfied. It took the whole book to satisfy my cravings and I still want more. Thankfully I have more books left in this series and let me tell you guys I will be reading till I can't stay up any longer.

I'd like to thank the author for writing an awesome book and now getting me hooked on biting. Hahaha. Just kidding;)

Prince of Wolves by Quinn Loftis





          "Jaque Pierce was just an ordinary 17 year old girl getting ready to start her senior year in high school in Coldspring, Texas. When a mysterious foreign exchange student from Romania moves in across the street, Jacque and her two best friends, Sally and Jen, don't realize the last two weeks of their summer was going to get a lot more interesting. From the moment Jacque sets eyes on Fane she feels an instant connection, a pull like a moth to a flame. Little does she know that the flame she is drawn to is actually a Canis lupis, werewolf, and she just happens to be his mate; the other half of his soul. The problem is Fane is not the only wolf in Coldspring, Texas. Just as Fane and Jacque are getting to know each other, another wolf steps out to try and claim Jacque as his mate. Fane will now have to fight for the right to complete the mating bond, something that is his right by birth but is being denied him by a crazed Alpha. Will the love Fane has for Jacque be enough to give him the strength to defeat his enemy, will Jacque accept that she is Fane's mate and complete the bond between them?"



My rating for this book is a 5 out of 5



I loved this book so much that I stayed up till 3 am  just  to finish this book. Thankfully I bought the rest of the series but man it will be a tough week for my eyes;)
I understand some reviews mentioned errors but in all honesty you can have two editors look through your manuscript and still have errors. We are all human and no one is perfect even grammar crazies! Lol.
I loved Fane, I think better then Edward from twilight. I believe this book would be great for motion picture and can't wait to read the next book.


Now here is my official review of this book. Jacque is a unique character. Her friend Jen is especially unique and if you don't like girl talk don't bother reading this book. This book screams best friends forever. They share everything together. Something I wish I could achieve with my closest friends.

Then there is Fane. Where do I start, oh I know the fact that I adored his obsession over Jacque. The author knows animals especially the canines. Fane is a mix between the dog who is loyal to the end and a sexy GQ model. I at first felt wow they are moving quite fast but then I realized how true to the animal instinct she was. Every dog I have adopted I felt a bond to at first site and they to me. It's amazing how animals are and the author shows she knows what she is talking about.

Then the author put me in suspense a couple of times, hence why I did not put the book down till I finished it. Even leaving me for wanting more once the book was finished meaning I bought the entire grey wolves series.

 The characters were good and I feel the next book will expand more on the characters I enjoyed. Now I never base my ratings on the grammar as I have stated above because what really matters is did the book captivate me and the answer to that is yes.

The book got a 5 star rating because I could not put it down and skipped sleep for one day. I only do this with books that truly captivate me. I plan on reading the rest of the series this week and I highly suggest this book to anyone who loves wolves, romance, paranormal, girlfriend bonds and sexy men. (What can I say I have a great imagination. )

Graveminder by Melissa Marr



Three sips to mind the dead . . .

Rebekkah Barrow never forgot the attention her grandmother Maylene bestowed upon the dead of Claysville, the small town where Bek spent her adolescence. There wasn't a funeral that Maylene didn't attend, and at each one Rebekkah watched as Maylene performed the same unusual ritual: She took three sips from a silver flask and spoke the words "Sleep well, and stay where I put you."

Now Maylene is dead, and Bek must go back to the place she left a decade earlier. She soon discovers that Claysville is not just the sleepy town she remembers, and that Maylene had good reason for her odd traditions. It turns out that in Claysville the worlds of the living and the dead are dangerously connected; beneath the town lies a shadowy, lawless land ruled by the enigmatic Charles, aka Mr. D. If the dead are not properly cared for, they will come back to satiate themselves with food, drink, and stories from the land of the living. Only the Graveminder, by tradition a Barrow woman, and her Undertaker—in this case Byron Montgomery, with whom Bek shares a complicated past—can set things right once the dead begin to walk.

Although she is still grieving for Maylene, Rebekkah will soon find that she has more than a funeral to attend to in Claysville, and that what awaits her may be far worse: dark secrets, a centuries-old bargain, a romance that still haunts her, and a frightening new responsibility—to stop a monster and put the dead to rest where they belong.

5 STARS

This book was amazing. I bought a copy for my friend just so I could have debates on it. There is so much I want to learn more of from this book. Rebekkah Barrow definitely has her issues but it didn't stop me from reading this book. Charles, aka Mr. D. is amazing there is so much I want to know about him. I also wish that I could find out more about Maylene's past and also the first barrow woman and her undertaker. Without giving spoilers I hope she makes a prequel or sequel!

The First Confessor by Terry Goodkind




In the time before the Confessors, when the world is a dark and dangerous place, where treason and treachery are the rule of the day, comes one heroic woman, Magda Searus, who has just lost her husband and her way in life.

This book was amazing. Before I recommend this book to anyone, I would like to tell you that this is a prequel. The book I would suggest reading first before this book is Wizards First Rule. Both of these books were amazing and constant page turners for me. Terry Goodkind is one of my idols and I have enjoyed many of his books but this one was amazing. All the questions I had from his Sword of Truth series were answered. I could not put this book down to the point I lost many hours of sleep. I would recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of Terry Goodkind. It was truly amazing for me.

5 stars

Taste by Kate Evangelista



At Barinkoff Academy, there's only one rule: no students on campus after curfew. Phoenix McKay soon finds out why when she is left behind at sunset. A group calling themselves night students threaten to taste her flesh until she is saved by a mysterious, alluring boy. With his pale skin, dark eyes, and mesmerizing voice, Demitri is both irresistible and impenetrable. He warns her to stay away from his dangerous world of flesh eaters. Unfortunately, the gorgeous and playful Luka has other plans. When Phoenix is caught between her physical and her emotional attraction, she becomes the keeper of a deadly secret that will rock the foundations of an ancient civilization living beneath Barinkoff Academy. Phoenix doesn't realize until it is too late that the closer she gets to both Demitri and Luka the more she is plunging them all into a centuries old feud.


I would give this a 4.5. I really enjoyed the beginning. It was suspenseful especially starting the book late at night. The cover art drew me in but the writing kept me reading. I would suggest this book to anyone who enjoys paranormal romance. Dimitri is a character I would definitely crush on. At times I did not like the heroine but that happens with every heroine because they don't do everything I would have done;-)

I look forward to reading more from Kate Evangelista. ( I might even read it again)

Kimberly Derting
Harper Lee

There is a lot of indie writers I will be adding soon:-)
