The Mayfair Moon by J.A. Redmerski

The Mayfair Moon (The Darkwoods Trilogy) by J.A. Redmerski

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book Description:

After a nightmarish encounter with a werewolf, seventeen-year-old Adria Dawson loses her sister, but gains the love of a mysterious young man and his legendary family.

Strange and tragic things begin to happen in the small town of Hallowell, Maine: residents come down with an unexplainable ‘illness’ and some disappear. In the midst of everything, Isaac Mayfair is adamant about keeping Adria safe, even from her sister whom he has warned her to stay away from.

As unspeakable secrets unfold all around Adria, impossible choices become hers to bear. Ultimately, no matter what path she takes, her life and the lives of those she loves will be in peril. As she learns about the werewolf world she also learns why her place in it will change the destinies of many.

My Review:

The Mayfair Moon written by J.A. Redmerski is a fantastic read; the author has done a terrific job giving us a different type of story around werewolves. I absolutely loved the fresh spin in this genre. I found the authors writing refreshing, and I can say without a doubt that this trilogy is going to be a great one. I have given the author and The Mayfair Moon a 5 star rating as her writing is great, plot and character description are done extremely well and I never once put this book down. J.A. Redmerski is definitely one of my new favorite authors.

We are introduced to Adria and Alex, sisters living with their mother and alcoholic/abusive stepfather. Adria and Alex are different in many ways Adria more the quite type and Alex more outgoing but always make sure her sister is safe and happy. One evening on their way home they come across a two werewolves fighting in the woods and end up right in the middle of things, barely making it out of the woods alive they return home battered and bruised but alive. Adria knows her sister took the brunt of the attack trying to protect her from being hurt. Adria cannot believe what she saw and knows deep down that she can tell no one as they may think she is crazy. The neighbours sees the sister’s banged up and call in Child Protective Services believing the stepfather has hurt them. Next thing you know Adria and Alex are being sent away to live with their Aunt and Uncle in Maine.

Things change for the sister’s in Maine, Alex is no longer the same person, seems cold and withdrawn, while Adria finds herself rather happy living in a home where it’s safe and feels for the first time in her life that her aunt and uncle truly care about them. Adria cannot figure out what is going on with her sister, she stays locked in her room she is horrible to her aunt and uncle who are only trying to provide the girls with a good home. One evening Adria follows her sister Alex through the woods and see’s Alex meet up with some young men, Adria doesn’t understand what is going on with Alex, and to make matters worse Alex doesn’t return home and finds out Alex is living with the Vargas brothers.

Adria makes some new friends herself and for the first time in her life she knows she is pretty happy besides all the drama her sister is causing. Getting to know her friends she meets Issac Mayfair who she is instantly attracted too and cannot for the life of her figure out the Mayfair’s family situation. Her friends take her out one evening so she can see her sister and find out what is going on with Alex. Adria realizes at this point that there is something definitely going on with her sister and way more then she can fathom. It appears that the Vargas and Mayfair’s have some kind of family feud going on and Alex and Adria are now in the middle of it.

This novel is a fantastic read, I cannot say anymore as I would have to add spoiler alerts, but I will promise anyone who loves paranormal mystery/romance novels this is a number one read. I will recommend this book to all of my friends and anyone who reads my reviews should absolutely go purchase The Mayfair Moon.

Eden by Janelle Stalder

Eden (Eden, #1)Eden by Janelle Stalder

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book Description:

Trapped within the cruel world of hormones and bullies, fifteen-year-old Aiden is convinced life has more to offer him. His instincts are proven correct on the night he is awakened by a voice calling to him from outside his window. As he sleepily peers into his yard, his eyes slowly focus on a woman who says she is there to take him to Eden. Aiden is about to fulfill the life purpose he never knew he had.

It is in Eden, a land on the brink of war, where Aiden will finally learn to trust himself and those around him. Accompanied by Wolf, his sidekick Logan, and the beautiful archer, Elisa, Aiden is soon thrust into a battle to save Eden. Meanwhile Elisa, the only girl in the King’s Army, is in the midst of her own struggles. Betrothed to a man she has no intention of marrying, Elisa is caught between the need to prove herself and her desire for true happiness. And now that she has met Aiden, she is more confused than ever.

In this action-packed fantasy tale, romance, adventure, and intrigue surround Aiden as he learns just what he is capable of when he discovers confidence and courage.

My Review:


I really enjoyed this novel written by Janelle Stalder, her writing is fantastic, easy to read, and character and plot development is written extremely well. This was one of those stories that once you start reading you don't stop till you reach the very end. Janelle Stalder has created a unique world and shared it with us; I cannot wait to read the next installment in this series.

This story has two plots running and Janelle Stalder did a great job in combining the two worlds.

Lets first talk about Aiden, 15 year old young man who is tall, skinny a bit awkward and feels out of place most of the time. We see him struggling in school, being bullied and you feel for him right away. His home life appears to be okay, has a new baby sister who you can see he loves. I have to say again that Janelle did a terrific job writing the interactions between brother and sister it was touching to see a young man love his baby sister.

One night he sees something and approaches a person asking them what they want? His life is about to change and he doesn't know if he can pull this off. Can Aiden believe in himself to help save Eden?
There are many other character's introduced in the story and I absolute loved it, I cannot wait for the next book. It's very hard to say much more without using spoilers.
I can and will say again that if your reading my review you need to go put this book "Eden" on your list to read right now, or better then that you should go purchase it immediately.

Deadly Pleasures Blog Tour


Book Description:

Megan Riley has bigger things to worry about than the fact that her neighbor has just been found dead.

Her engagement has just ended, and she is once again on a quest to find Mr. Right-or at least Mr. Right Now. Tired of emotional ties and ready for a new adventure, Megan and her three best friends make a fateful decision. They hire hunky stripper Michael Harrington as their timeshare boytoy-unaware he is the prime suspect in a series of gruesome murders. Suddenly, they find themselves involved in a complicated murder investigation led by a handsome detective who is focused only on finding the twisted serial killer before he strikes again. But who will be the next to die? Megan, the hardworking real estate agent; newly divorced Kathleen; Alex, married to a wealthy businessman; or Rachel, the spurned wife of a hot Hollywood screenwriter?

Following her own investigation, Megan takes a wild ride through L.A.'s bondage parlors, hidden sex clubs, and the extravagant lifestyles of the rich and famous; soon she discovers that her quest for adventure has abruptly transformed into a dangerous game of life and death.

My Review:


Mary Firmin debut novel is fantastic, the character development, plot and her writing draws you in and doesn’t let you go till you reach the end.  This is a great murder, mystery and romance novel and was so well written you don’t want to put it down.  I for one will be keeping my eye on anything Mary Firmin writes.

Megan Riley, the main character is struggling, she has addictions problems, struggling at work due to the bad economy and worse she has just ended her relationship.  Her girlfriends who are bored wealthy women are sick of their cheating husbands and decide to take matters in their own hands and hire a stripper named Michael Harrington to service their many needs.  Mean while women are being murdered and Detective Matt Donovan is on the case.   When Megan and Matt’s paths cross during the investigation you instantly feel the chemistry between these two.

This story is a fantastic read, you have murder, mystery and romance, and you get a glimpse into the darker side of things, blackmail, escort services, the bdsm lifestyle.  Mary Firmin’s writing is excellent, easy to follow and she throws a twist here and there just to throw the readers off.  I have rated this Deadly Pleasure’s 4 starts and cannot wait to read more of Mary’s work.

I recommend this novel to anyone who loves a great murder/mystery read.

Interview with Lizzy

1. When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?


In the third grade! I wrote an essay about stars, and for some reason, that sparked my interest in writing.


2. How long does it take you to write a book?


It takes me 2-3 weeks generally, depending on length, then another 1-2 for editing, beta reading and formatting.  I have a freelance copyeditor who works with me and reviews everything. My goal next year is to slow down and write longer books.


3. What is your work schedule like when you're writing?


Let’s see … I tend to write in obsessive spurts!  I just started doing Pilates in the morning, so I do my Pilates then check emails, social media and my website for fanmail.  If I have to run errands, I’ll do those in the morning, too.  Usually then I try to focus on writing for most of the day, until my hubby comes home and I make dinner.


4. What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?


Aside from writing fast, I’d have to say my quirk is dreaming about scenes from books or writing in my sleep.  LOL! It sounds funny, but my stories don’t stop flowing when I’m somewhere beside my computer.  They’re being written almost all day long.  It’s not the greatest thing if you’re really tired and want a peaceful night’s sleep!


5. Where do you get your information or ideas for your books?


Mainly dreams and a wild imagination.  I’m an avid dreamer, so a lot of times, books will start with a scene from a certain dream.  I’ll capture that scene or special-whatever-it-is then build the story around it.


6. When did you write your first book and how old were you?


My first real ‘novel’ was written when I was in junior high.  It was a sci-fi adventure called “Last of the Power Users” about these two kids who were the last people to have magic in the world.  It was AWFUL!


7. What do you like to do when you're not writing?


I’m picking up a couple of new hobbies, because I do need a break from writing every once in awhile.  I’m going to start beading soon, and I’ve always wanted to make things for the house.  Like pillows.  I have no attention span, so I may never get past making a coaster, but I want to try!


8. What does your family think of your writing?


They think it’s awesome.  My mom has always told me I was meant to be a writer, and my hubby manages my website and a lot of the social media accounts so I have more time to write.  They’re super-supportive!


9. What was one of the most surprising things you learned in writing your book?


Probably that people actually liked it.  Haha!  I never expected anyone else to like either my writing style or my stories.  I started out writing for me and what I wanted to read.  And, I spent over ten years getting rejected (or ignored) by traditional publishers and agents, so I started to think I couldn’t write or my stories were bad.


10. How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?


I just released the eleventh and have another coming up towards the end of the month.  My favorite is probably “Damian’s Oracle,” because I loved the main character, Sofi!


11. Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say?


I get tons of feedback from readers: through emails, Facebook comments/messages, website comments, Twitter … they’re super supportive.  I’ve been just thrilled at how positive and genuinely interested in my books they are because again, I never ever thought anyone else would like them!  I love interacting with my fans; they give me so much positive energy. When I have a bad day or a down day, I just reread their comments or spend more time than usual interacting with them, and that interaction wipes away any frustration I feel.


12. As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?


I wanted to be a writer!


13. What is your favorite food?


I’m a total foodie.  Chocolate, pastries, cookies, anything sweet and buttery … I love it all! Which is why I’m overweight and trying to slim down!


14. What are your current projects?


I’ve got a slew of them in the works for this year!  I posted the schedule I’m working towards.

April: Rebel Heart
May: The Grey God (War of Gods)
June: Kiera’s Sun (Anshan Saga)
July: Dark Summer (Witchling Trilogy)
Aug: Autumn Storm (Witchling Trilogy)
Sep: Xander’s Chance (Original Beings)
Oct: Winter Kiss (Witchling Trilogy)
Nov: Gabriel’s Hope (Rhyn Eternal)
Dec: Shadow Rising (Foretold Trilogy)


15. Is there anything additional you would like to share with your readers?


Just another huge THANK YOU for all your support and feedback!  I couldn’t do this without my readers. 

Incognito by Miho Li - Promo Post & Giveaways





Book Title: Incognito
Author: Miho Li
Genre: Contemporary, Erotica, Male/Male
Words: 25,377

Book Description:

"When Ren sees the new transfer student—Shin, black hair, storm-cloud-gray eyes, and more beautiful than any guy had a right to be—he makes it his mission to get to know him. Too bad Shin is about as sociable as fungus, and about as likable, too. But Ren isn't good at giving up, so he takes on the challenge of cracking Shin's titanium shell. What he finds underneath, though, is way more than he's prepared to handle.


People are disappearing in Akita, and Shin might be behind it. As Ren's feelings grow for the reserved man, so do the number of missing person reports, and Ren doesn't know if their budding relationship is enough to withstand both the well of secrets and the organization Shin works for."









Excerpt:

There was a heavy sigh and then, “Ren, just go talk to him already.”
Ren’s gaze snapped back to his friends. He flicked shaggy blond hair out of his eye and said, “What?”
“Shin,” Hideyoshi said, making vague hand gestures at the student Ren had been ogling.


Shin had settled in the grass beside a tree and was propping a book open in his lap. Messy strands of black hair fell across his pale cheeks, and he brushed it back with fingers that were surprisingly elegant for a guy.
“Go talk to him.”

Shin Sarutobi was a newly transferred junior, and despite sharing several classes, Ren had yet to find the right opportunity to talk to him. Not because he was intimidated but because Shin treated everyone around him, professors and students alike, with what barely qualified as cool indifference. He spoke in class when necessary but otherwise remained removed from everyone else and, from what Ren could tell, preferred it that way.
The exception was Kyouya Tsutano. Kyouya had transferred in about a month before Shin. It had been a big deal, what with his family being corporate millionaires. Rumor had it Kyouya’s dad died recently, and he had returned to Akita to live with his uncle.


From the start, Kyouya and Shin had a volatile relationship—they always looked pissed just being near each other. Except Ren had overheard them arrange meetings, and Kyouya remained the only person to date Shin spoke with on a regular basis.
Naturally, Ren assumed they were sleeping together. He entertained the theory that Shin and Kyouya were trapped in an unhealthy relationship based on angry but mind-blowing sex.
He chose not to share this theory with his friends.
In any case, the fact remained that Shin was a jerk. A gorgeous jerk with ink-black hair, intense gray eyes, and long legs that made him one of the few students taller than Ren, but a jerk nonetheless. Ren watched as a line formed between Shin’s brows, and he glanced in the direction Kyouya had gone with a sour twist of his lips.

Shin was also a jerk in dire need of an intervention.
Ren nodded decisively. “I’m going to talk to him.”
Hideyoshi gave him a flat look before apparently deciding against voicing what he was thinking. Ren ignored him and crossed the lawn with purposeful strides toward Shin.
With blond hair and blue eyes thanks to his European half, Ren wasn’t used to making the first move. Shin, however, was definitely worth the exception.



“Hi,” Ren said. He didn’t believe in pick-up lines.
Shin didn’t acknowledge the greeting.
Ren cleared his throat, undeterred. “Your friend looked pissed.”
Shin’s gaze lifted, passing dismissively over Ren’s smiling face before returning to his book.
“Uh...your boyfriend?” Ren said, hedging for a response.
Without lowering his book, Shin turned his head and looked up at Ren with ill-concealed impatience. “Did you want something?”


Ren considered this. “Should I answer that honestly?” Because there were a great many things that Ren wanted, including but not limited to Shin spread out on his bed in nothing but a silk ribbon.
Maybe it was best not to be quite so forthcoming yet.

About the Author:

Miho grew up on horror, fantasy, and romance novels (although she hid the romance novels, considering she probably shouldn't have been reading them at eleven years old). She started writing horror first, but these days, her work features more boys kissing boys than heads exploding, which everyone agrees is an improvement. She has a love of all things fantastical, and her favorite romances are the ones that don't happen easily. Reading or writing about characters overcoming adversity in order to reach their happy endings, whether that's together or not, is what fuels her love of the written word.

Dark Frost (Mythos Academy #3) By Jennifer Estep

Dark Frost (Mythos Academy, #3)


Dark Frost (Mythos Academy #3)


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Book Description:

I’ve seen so many freaky things since I started attending Mythos Academy last fall. I know I’m supposed to be a fearless warrior, but most of the time, I feel like I’m just waiting for the next Bad, Bad Thing to happen. Like someone trying to kill me—again.

Everyone at Mythos Academy knows me as Gwen Frost, the Gypsy girl who uses her psychometry magic to find lost objects—and who just may be dating Logan Quinn, the hottest guy in school. But I’m also the girl the Reapers of Chaos want dead in the worst way. The Reapers are the baddest of the bad, the people who murdered my mom. So why do they have it in for me?

It turns out my mom hid a powerful artifact called the Helheim Dagger before she died. Now, the Reapers will do anything to get it back. They think I know where the dagger is hidden, but this is one thing I can’t use my magic to find. All I do know is that the Reapers are coming for me—and I’m in for the fight of my life.

My Review:

Jennifer Estep has given us another terrific 3rd novel in the Mythos Academy series; the plot is fantastic, it’s faced paced and full of mystery and suspense. A few times I thought I knew what was going on then realized I didn’t. Jennifer Estep writing is terrific and I can’t wait for book 4 to be released. This is one of those books that once you begin you don’t stop till you reach the end.

Gwen is on a mission to find the Helheim Dagger that her mother hid before she died. Everyone knows that the reapers will stop at nothing to retrieve the dagger as it is the only artifact that can release the reapers champion Loki.

When Gwen and her friends come face to face with a group of reapers and fight for their lives, Gwen meets up with the reaper that killed her mother. The reapers may retrieve this time but everyone knows full well that they will be back.

Can Gwen find the dagger and keep it safe? Will she be able to figure out what is going on between her and Logan and why is her best friend in such a bad mood lately?

This is a fantastic read and I can’t say much more without adding spoilers, so buy this book and enjoy. I gave Dark Frost a 4 star rating and will recommend this series to all my friends.

Initiation by By Imogen Rose Blog Tour and Giveaways!



About Imogen Rose


Imogen Rose is the author of the bestselling YA series, the Portal Chronicles. She was born in a small town in Sweden and moved to London in her twenties. After obtaining a PhD in immunology from Imperial College, she moved with her family to New Jersey, where she’s been based for the past ten years.
For as long as she can remember, Imogen has dreamt stories. Stories that continued from night to night, from dream to dream. So, even as a child, going to bed was never an issue, just an anticipation of the story to come.




PORTAL, Imogen’s first novel, would have remained in her imagination, to be shared only with her daughter, Lauren, had her eight-year-old not insisted that she write it down. In the course of a month, Imogen typed while Lauren waited eagerly by the printer for the pages to appear, and a novel took shape.
The warm reception PORTAL received encouraged her to continue with the story and the Portal Chronicles. FAUSTINE is Imogen’s first book in her new series, the Bonfire Chronicles.
Imogen is a self-confessed Hermès addict who enjoys shopping, traveling, watching movies and playing with her dog, Tallulah.

Book Description:
 
 
Welcome to Bonfire Academy! Set in the foothills of the alpine mountains in St.Moritz, this exclusive private school caters to a special kind of student. Enter at your own risk... but if you are human, you may not want to enter at all.

WARNING: This YA story is set in a school for paranormals who are very different from normal human teens. Thus, the language and some scenes might not be appropriate for younger YA readers. Recommended for those sixteen and above.


My Review:

First I have to say I absolutely loved this book, Imogen Rose is a fantastic author, the storyline and character descriptions were well written and she gave you enough information to get to know each of them, and fall in love with a few. Initiation was one of those novels you don’t put down and I definitely will be following this series. 


Welcome to Bonfire Academy a school for supernatural’s...we first meet Cordelia who has decided to stay for a third year at Bonfire Academy so she could build up her skills and play tennis. Her first day back she is asked to go to the student president’s office for a meeting which is very unusual as the student president is normally kept a secret throughout the year, curiosity gets the better of her and she heads to the meeting. Here we meet Jagger; he asks Cordelia if she would be interested in becoming a mentor for a new initiate, Faustine who is half human and half demon. Cordelia wants to refuse but because of the unique situation she agrees. Cordelia and Faustine are both demon princesses and Cordelia realizes that because Faustine is half human this may put her in some difficult situations with so many other supernatural’s around the school. 

This story is full of mystery, suspense and a fantastic love triangle. Quinn who is Cordelia long time boyfriend is kind, caring and you fall in love with his character. Jaggar also has great qualities and knows that Cordelia and he somehow ended up synced together. The feelings that occur when they are together are intense and it appears like they have mated. So besides Cordelai dealing or should I say not dealing with all that going on in her life she still has to mentor Faustine.


When Faustine and Cordelia are attacked and strange things happen, one Cordelia dies and Faustine disappears into thin air, thank god Jaggar saves Cordelia and they find Faustine fast asleep in bed. Unsure of what happened and who attacked them Cordelia knows she needs to protect Faustine and figure out what is going on.

This story is fantastic and all I can say is it’s a must read, great beginning to what I think is going to be a superb series. The story does not focus on a lot of romance it is more action, suspense and mystery mixed with some romance. The author did an amazing job giving us a wonderful story, great characters and I cannot wait to read book two. I would recommend Initiation to all my friends and anyone who loves paranormal novels.


Interview with Jaggar:

I have to be honest. I approached this interview with some hesitation, perhaps even a little trepidation. After all, even though I feel I know him a bit through Cordelia, I’ve never experienced Jagger directly. As he sits before me, I can empathize with Cordelia. He is impossibly magnetic, his aura both powerful and dangerous, the only release, a hint of humor gleaming in his silver-gray eyes.
 
IR: Jagger, thank you so much for agreeing to this interview. Are you excited about starting a new year at the Academy?
 
JR: My pleasure. I am, though I’m not exactly sure what my role will be this year. I guess I’ll find out when I get there.
 
IR: So, you’re not heading back as the Student Council President?
JR: I wouldn’t think so. That position is usually only awarded for a year. Plus, my time at the academy is officially over.
 
IR: Why are you going back, then?
 
JR: Mainly to keep an eye on my brother, Ryker.
IR: And Cordelia?
 
JR: Yes, hmm. You said that you had some questions from my fans...
 
IR: I do! Here is one from Sean Sweeney. He wants to know what you got Cordelia for Valentine’s Day.
 
JR: Myself. However, like any girl, she obviously needed a “token” as well. I got her a little secret something from Harry Winston.
 
IR: Nice! The next question is about Cordelia as well. Al Kunz, the infamous celeb book blogger, aka The Snake, wants to know what really happened on the slopes. He wants details.
 
JR: He couldn’t handle the details.
IR: LOL! There you have it, Al! Moving on... Michelle Cable wants to know what you thought when you first saw Cordelia and what you thought of that electrifying kiss.
 
JR: That she’s stunning is apparent to all who are lucky enough to behold her. I was struck by her beauty as soon as I saw her, when she first arrived at the academy. It was my policy to stay away from demons, though. Every kiss with her is electrifying, but I’m guessing you mean our very first kiss. I was shocked, but immediately realized what had happened.
IR: Too bad that doesn’t happen to humans. Synching sounds unbelievably intimate...
JR: It is, but the realization that one is bound forever to this one being frightening, too. That’s unnatural in the supernatural world.
IR: I can see that. Faustine seems to bridge the gap between the human and the paranormal worlds. My daughter Lauren wants to know what you think of Faustine, and Vickie Boehnlein wants to know if you’re scared of Faustine.
JR: I love Faustine. She’s like a little sister to me. I feel very protective of her, even though I know that she can take care of herself. And yes, I’m scared of her. I’d be stupid not to be. She’s one of the most powerful demons I’ve ever come across.
 
IR: Demons seem to like their food, meat in particular. Lynn O’Dell would like to know if you prefer filet mignon or T-bones?

JR: I’m not a demon, but I do prefer Filet Mignon.
 
IR: That doesn’t surprise me. I have a last question from my friend Allirea Brumley. She wants to know what’s going to happen to you next?

 
JR: I’m not a Wanderer, so a trip into the future to answer that is not possible. Say “hi” to her from me, though. I love her name... Allirea. Is she a faery?
IR: Ha, ha. No, I don’t think so.  Thank you so much, Jagger!
