Wolves of Winter's Edge is three books about three brothers, each with secrets and damage that needs repaired, each needing a mate but not realizing it and bound to a place they think they hate and a father they think destroyed them. As each digs into what is going on they learn that their parents made choices, maybe bad choices, but choices no the less aimed at protecting and giving their boys a long and happy life.<br /><br />Asher is the oldest and has the most demons. He also remembers the most about his childhood, and is the one who leads the brothers on their quest for the answers. He doesn't want the role as pack leader but it was born into him and there is nothing he can do to deny it.<br /><br />Enter Ashlyn, she is Blaire's best friend and is determined that Blaire has fallen into a cult and she is going to rescue her and bring her back to the real world. What Ashlyn never counted on was that Blaire is truly in love and happy and has a new life, and Ashlyn feels the sting of loss and doesn't know how to react, she also doesn't know how to react to Asher.<br /><br />This book is the third and focuses on Asher, but finishes the story of the Striker brothers and their quest to save the town their parents loved.

Wolves of Winter's Edge is a short three book trilogy about the Striker boys, brothers, each hurt by the "loss" of their mother and the treatment of their father throughout life, but the death of their father has them all back for the first time finding that things are not like they thought, and secrets are great. They will need to uncover the secrets and deal with them if they are going to save the town.<br /><br />Roman is the youngest, wildest of the brothers. He has always felt invisible to his father, and so when he has to come back after his father's death he resents it, but yet here he is. He's ready to run, until he realizes that there is more going on beneath the surface than he knows, and when Blaire's life is in danger, he joins with his brothers to take back the town. Doing that means uncovering what is going on, and that means getting close to someone in town.<br /><br />Mila has loved and hated Roman all her life. She loved him in secret, never daring to reveal her true feelings, then when he left, she hated him. She blamed him for the fall of his father, for all the terrible things that have happened to the pack and to her since he left. She has always believed she was submissive, the bottom of the pack and she has hated it, but Roman is about to teach her that she is alpha.<br /><br />This book continues right were book one, Gentry stopped and build on the story of the brothers and their search for answers and to take back the town.

<br /><br />
When I see the author is T.S. Joyce, I know that the book is going to be well-written, action-packed, emotional and shifter-paranormal. Even if that isn't a genre that you normally read, I would put money down on the fact that with as well-written and thought out as this author writes, you will enjoy the story! If you ever have a chance to read this author, it is a can't miss.<br /><br />Wolves of Winter's Edge is a short, three book trilogy about three brothers and the mistakes that their parents made to try to give them a good life that lead them all three back to this point and into the lives of three very different women.<br /><br />Gentry is book one, and it is about Gentry, the middle son, but the one that his father Noah labeled as his "favorite" and the one he planned to pass everything down to, which caused a great deal off conflict with his older and younger brother. All three brothers have been gone from town for awhile, and only a call that their father is dead can bring all three back together. While there, they uncover secrets that only they hold the answers to, and only they can make the changes to save a town and the population there.<br /><br />In the middle of all this conflict walks Blaire, a woman reeling from divorce that feels discarded, unworthy and cast aside. It's not safe for her here, but Gentry is hard-pressed to make her leave. She is human, knows nothing of the paranormal world, but is in for the education of a lifetime in a short period of time.<br /><br />Can Blaire and Gentry work together to take back the town from a rogue hell-bent on destroying everything? Can their two completely different worlds be merged together or are they only leading to disaster?<br /><br />

<br /><br />
The Dark Warrior Alliance continues on with the 19th book in the series, which is a good long life for a series.<br /><br />The title of the book had me thinking that it would focus on the Guild Mast, which happens to be Jace's cousin as he took over what should have been Jace's position when Jace was kidnapped and held hostage by Lady Angelica. Evzen Raziel has taken his position seriously and did everything he could to guide the sorcerers while Jace was missing, but he always feels a little lacking, especially since this was never suppose to be his position. The idea that he might actually have a fated mate has never really crossed his mind.<br /><br />While being kidnapped in another dimension, or somewhere, Evzen is introduced to Braelynn and after initial reluctance, she does what she can to help Evzen and the other escape and get back home. Evzen is sure that she is his, but the fact that she is in act the daughter of Lady Angelica should create a number of problems.<br /><br />This book is written a few chapters of Evzen and Braelynn's story then a few chapters of Izzy's story on Khorth. normally I wouldn't complain about that, because we need to keep up with Izzy even while other things are happening, but in this book I felt like it cut into the main storyline. In fact, it almost felt like Izzy was the main storyline and Evzen was the side story.<br /><br />One of the things that I have loved about the whole series is the storyline between the couples, it is never easy, true love or fated mates have to over come all kinds of obstacles. Unfortunately in this story, even given that Braelynn knew nothing about mates, they meet and were planning their ceremony for the very next full moon, there was no obstacles, nothing and that just didn't feel right to me. I think back to the first couple books, even the Rowan Sisters books, and they were obstacle after obstacle thrown at the couples that they had to get through.<br /><br />Even having said all that, I still love this series! I love the fated mates and the willingness of the partners to do whatever it takes for each other, it is just something that is so enduring and something that everyone dreams of experiencing. I will continue to read and enjoy this series as long as the authors keep writing.

<br /><br />
First book in the Forgotten Dragons series.<br /><br />Twin Dragons, Tristan and Xander have been outcasts all their lives, and so they have moved from place and kept hidden, until now when Tristan runs into Kelsie and knows that she is his mate. Now to wow her and slowly introduce her to the world of dragons.<br /><br />Author Terry Bolryder is a genius at animal/shifter novels and Dragons are one that she focuses on. This series actually follows the Bad Dragons Series, although you don't see any of the characters from that series, they are mentioned in the book and so it is evident that this series comes after it.

<br /><br />
Hex to the No is the continuing story of Lilith Blackward, the book cleanly picks up right were book 1 left off and proceeds to give you more of the story and what is happening. <br /><br />Lilith is clearly feeling betrayed at this point, her own parents are part of, if not the leaders of the Cold Dawn Cult that she was asked to investigate, although the whole reason why she was asked to investigate is still a mystery. Now she has a lot of soul searching to do as well as uncovering more and more about this Cult and putting a stop to them.<br /><br />This book is well written and a quick read. It builds on book one and looks to be continuing in book three. There is no way to read these books other than in order because they end abruptly and start right up again, there is no recapping of the previous book at all.

<br /><br />
What the Hex is the first book in a new series about a young witch named Lilith Blackward. Lilith is extraordinarily bright and accomplished for her age, yet when she performs a complicated spell for her sixteenth birthday things go wrong and she see's her possible death. <br /><br />Fast forward a few years and Lilith is making her own life when she is asked to investigate a cult, but something is fishy about it from the get go. Around every turn something new is revealed and life as Lilith has known it is turned up side down.<br /><br />This is a wonderful start to a new novel, there is none of the typical boy-meets-girl romance, it's all about Lilith and her desire to make something of herself in this world. I am really excited to read the next book and see what happens!

All her life Blissful has trained to take over for her father, to be the leader of the Ghost Team, a secret team of ghost hunters that helped mischievous ghosts cross over. After her father's death, her job as team leader was given to someone else and Bliss is mad, now she has to prove herself to get her job back.<br /><br />Bliss heads to the second most haunted town in America and her job is to find an elusive ghost and get her job back. Of course nothing goes as planned and Bliss ends up finding out things about her job, her new boss and her father that she was never expecting. Now what to do.<br /><br />This is a wonderful new series, it starts off with a different premise than a number of books in this genre and builds to a different climax. There is still a lot for Bliss to explore, the truth about her old job, her father and the woman who slept her way into the job promised to Bliss. There is also a lot for Bliss to learn about ghosts and what her purpose truly is.<br />

Mix a little adventure, vampires, shifters, blackmail, and bdsm and you have Alpha's Blood.<br /><br />Lucius is the Vampire King, he has been around forever and has been the subject of may a coup attempts, this time his foe, Xavier decides to use a female shifter as his bait.<br /><br />Selene has been selected and trained for one purpose only, to endure any amount of pain, to kill Lucius. Problem is that Lucius is not at all what she has been told.<br /><br />There is a great deal of sex and bdsm in this book, so if you aren't fine with reading that then you might want to skip this book.

Second book in the Hideaway Cove series...<br /><br />You meet the main character, Arlo in the first book and learn a little about him there, and the main characters o the first book do play a medium sized role in this book, so it is definitely best to read them in order.<br /><br />Hideaway Cove is a town for shifters only, well it has always been only for shifters until recently when a fated mate turned out to be human, things are slowly changing in Hideaway Cove and Arlo is feeling unsettled.<br /><br />Author Zoe Chant creates a world full of love and shifters

Second book in the Sea Dragons Shifters series....<br /><br />This book continues to follow the Rutleidge family of sea dragons. Although this is the second book, the characters in the first book are only briefly mentioned so it would be easy to read this book without having read the first book.

Second book in the series....<br /><br />This book builds on the first, although you could read them alone. Zoe and Joe are attempting to date, in spite of Joe's fears of witchcraft, and Zoe is building her bakery. Her mom, Willow has started dating, that is until her boyfriend is found dead on her front yard.<br /><br />Now Zoe is working to solve this mystery and Joe is getting more and more used to witchcraft.<br /><br />This was a good second book in the series.

Since I have the Kindle Unlimited plan, I have been browsing Kindle books and just reading a little bit of everything. This came up as something I might like and so I gave it a chance.<br /><br />The author has this series of four books, and another series, Wicked Witches of Coventry and I decided to give them a try.<br /><br />They kinda fall in that cozy mystery genre, as the main character has a bakery and helps solve a crime, yet at the same time there is a little bit of elementary witching in the books as well.<br /><br />It was a cute short story. Zoe is a kitchen itch, so her bakery is amazing. He best friend is Joe, the sheriff, but he is leary of the whole witchcraft thing, and then Zoe's mom is a cleaning witch and she helps out at the bakery as well.<br /><br />It started the series off with promise.

First book in the Ryder Brothers series.<br /><br />To be honest, I downloaded this book purely because of the guy on the cover and I found that it was a good story, the chapters alternate between the female and male point of views. <br /><br />It was good and well written, but the brief glimpses of the other two brothers we go in this book did not encourage me to want to read the other book in the series.

Tow Peas in a Potion is the second book in the new Western Woods Mystery series.<br /><br />Tina is new to the paranormal world, only recently finding out that she is a witch and moving to Western Woods. There are just some things that bother her about the paranormal world, the most important being that certain jobs and tasks are reserved for certain types of paranormals, and the fact that each type tends to stay to themselves. She is determined to do what she can to change it, but first, her roommate Sara is in trouble.<br /><br />Sara is an amazing flyer, and finally found a job ferrying lawyers to appointments, but this morning her first fare has dropped dead. To make matters worse it was a popular elf, who are basically immortal so to have one drop dead is big news.<br /><br />Tina and her roommates, Sara, Ellie and Amy end up investigating and trying to clear Sara's name.<br /><br />This is a cute new series on witchcraft that is different than most of the stories on the market. The segregation in the paranormal world is something that is unusual for the books, and the isolation from the human world is another.

<br /><br />
Back to Spell One is the first book in the Western Woods Mystery. Lately I have been on a witchcraft reading kick, and so I am always browsing my Kindle Unlimited listings for something new.<br /><br />Back to Spell One starts in Seattle, with your average young adult woman, trying to make a life for herself, working as a waitress at a bar and saving money for college. After one long night at the bar, Tina is followed home by a drunk patron, and in the process she falls into a portal to another world, the paranormal world.<br /><br />Tina has always believed that the paranormal world was a myth, now all the sudden she finds herself in the middle of the paranormal world and the fact that she herself is indeed a paranormal, a witch in fact.<br /><br />As Tina tries to adjust to this new knowledge, there is a rare murder in the paranormal town of Western Woods, and some people feel like its not a coincidence that there is someone new in town, that she just might be the one who committed the murder. Luckily Tina's new friends are willing to help her and they investigate the murder to find out who did it and clear Tina's name.<br /><br />This is a cute new storyline. Although it is the classic young girl finds out late in life he is a witch story, it is told a little different and the paranormal world is somewhat different than most other books. This was a good introduction to a new series and was well written and interesting.<br /><br />I am looking forward to the next book in the series and finding out more about Tina's history.

<br /><br />
So I picked this book, not reading anything about it, and I a thinking it would be something completely different than what it was.<br /><br />It was a good book, but not something I would normally read.<br /><br />The title was Fake Boyfriend, and so I figured that it would be about someone hiring a fake boyfriend, but I never thought it would be a same sex romance. <br />It was well written and a good book, but not something that I would normally read.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A birthday party for an eighty-year old, this Darcy can do, except for the stripper, really? Is that appropriate? Nothing can go wrong with this, right. Wrong. This is the Enchanted Village and for some reason Darcy seems to be finding all the dead bodies in town, so when she goes outside looking for the cake, she stumbles over the body of the delivery guy. Only this time, the spirit of the dead stays witch Darcy and helps her figure out this mystery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Things heat up between Darcy and Nick - of course there are issues, in the person of Glinda, who has her sights set on Nick herself, or at least his position as police chief.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another installment in the life of Darcy and her adjustment to being a witch and the town of enchanted Village.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My rating: </span><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2531074130"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4 of 5 stars</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Darcy is starting to adjust to her new life in Enchanted Village and the fact that she is a witch, or crafter as they are known in the village, in fact she is a wishcrafter, which means that she can grant wishes, if certain rules are followed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Eloide is a Geocrafter and owns the gem store in the village which is beautiful, but she has hired Darcy and As You Wish to clean out her mothers house so that she can sell it, of course that upsets some people. Poor Patrice has been missing for almost two years, she just vanished, and of course people don't do that in normal life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When Darcy visits the house, the neighbor Yvonne tags along and makes the wish to know what happened to Patrice - oops, the next step finds Patrice stuffed in a suitcase! That is more than anyone expected. Now Nick and the police are involved and of course Darcy can't help but investigate, which leads to her working to secure a PI license.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This series is really cute. You have Darcy, who is really gun-shy around guys, then there is single dad Nick, and they are attracted but everything in the Village and other people are always in their way and making things difficult, so it turns out they are taking things extremely slow. The characters are awesome and they are so much fun to follow and learn more about, as well as learning about the whole idea of the craft, or magic. Its all done just a little at a time which makes it feel like real life.
