Bitterroot Crossing by Tess Oliver

If you know me, then you know I'm always in the mood for a good deal.
Deals on everything from oil changes to groceries and yes, books fall into that category as well.  Enter the $1.99 story of a little town called Bitterroot Crossing.  Yes, I grabbed that up.  I began this book (which I was happy to see was well over 600 pages) not quiet sure what to expect.  I've read the popular Vampire tales, the Werewolf tales, heck, I've even read about witches and warlocks, immortals and Alchemists.  This story however, was different.  It was about GHOSTS.  That was exciting, I hadn't read a book about Ghosts yet.  I began the book and loved it immediately.  A group of ghosts from over a hundred years ago wreak havoc on this little town, its not like your typical poltergeist where you see things move, or something is out of place when you get home, no, these ghosts are right in your face.  You can see them, you can smell them, and you can feel them.  The town has what would be a tornado alarm, just for the days when the ghosts make their way down from their resting place, an alarm to give the residents a heads up so they have a minute to get inside during the weekly ghost party.  Of course there are the main characters of the story a young girl by the name of Jessie and the town hottie Nick.  The kicker here is they are both the descendants of an immediate family member responsible for the ghosts.  Nick being the descendant of the head ghost, Zedikiah, and Jessie being the descendant of the lovely woman who won Zedikiah's heart.  Ghost mayhem, a long lost love story and of course, truth about what really happened all those years ago resulting in the town's current predicament.  I loved this novel and although I am a fan of series the fact that this was a stand alone book was perfect.  It is nice to have closure every few books or so :)  If you read it, let me know what you thought.

Forever Neverland by Heather Killough-Walden

Once again I was thrilled to find a newer released e-book by this author, and like all her other books, this one did not disappoint. "Forever Neverland" is a book about exactly what it sounds like, a Peter Pan story. Not your usual Peter Pan story however, this book finds Wendy, John, and Michael back home several years later, and everyone around them believes the Darling children are mentally unstable. Convinced they are not crazy, Wendy continues to write her stories of Neverland and Peter Pan, all the while wondering why he hasn't come back and allowed their lives to be turned into such a mess. This is a fantastic story based on one of my favorite children's books of all time. With an exciting plot leading up to a fantastic twist at the end, this book is a must read for anyone who is a fan of Peter Pan. It was great to read more about the boy who never grew up

The Chosen Soul by Heather Killough-Walden

Okay, so with HKW's "Hell Bent" finished, I eagerly seeked out more novels by this author. This book also $1.00 and also over a thousand pages, I was ecstatic. I quickly bought it (and actually just bought all books with HKW's name on them at that point, lol)and eagerly dived into the story. It grabbed me right away starting out on a stormy night with a woman in the early stages of painful childbirth. During child birth, it is discovered that there is more than one baby, and the second child isn't faring so well. In steps a mysterious stranger walking by in the middle of the night in the middle of the storm. Upon saving the child, he deems her "The chosen soul" and it isn't until (I believe) her 19th year that things start to seem different with her. The ability to call forth demons from the earth , Raven is very different. This book has so much fantasy involved, you forget where you are. Faeries, Devil kings, Light gods, and more, "The Chosen soul" is by far one of my favorite ways to kill time and disappear into another world for a little while and much like "Hell Bent" I eagerly await the sequel to this book as well.

Hell Bent by Heather Killough-Walden

As far as books go, I like a rather huge variety of story lines. Vampires, faeries, werewolves, witches, superheroes, etc. I guess I'm a bigger fan of the supernatural than other things(who wouldn't be, I would be stoked if I could fly and have magic powers) So when I picked up this book (which by the way is my very first HKW book ever) I was hesitant. Its not to often that you find books about assassins, and enjoy them. (well not me anyway, refer to sentence 3) So I picked up this book and first thing I noticed was it was $1.00 on my nook. Second thing I noticed was it was over a THOUSAND pages. H.O.L.Y. COW. Talk about bang for your buck right. So I begin this novel and right away, things are happening. The main character is Annabelle, and she is a normal computer graphics geek with a very good best friend named Jack. well Jack just so happens to have a unique job that he has been hiding.

**** SPOILER ALERT*****

Taken from her daily routine when her boss is assassinated during her lunch hour, Annabelle and Jack are on the run for their lives. Annabelle doesn't know why she's running or who's she's running from, she just knows she's with Jack. Over a thousand pages of suspenseful action, emotional heartache, and mystery, this tale of assassins on the run from assassins is NOTHING like you'd expect. I am eagerly awaiting the sequel to this novel.

Reaper by Rachel Vincent

The Iron Daughter by Julie Kagawa

I gotta tell ya, I was lucky that I found this series with 3 books already released(that's how behind the times I am, lol) It made me ecstatic that I could at least read 3 straight novels without waiting a year for the next one. And with the Iron Daughter, I was not dissapointed. With the Iron fey posing a threat that nobody believes, Meghan is forced to go searching for proof and of course the scepter of seasons if she doesn't want to be one of Queen Mab's frozen garden gnomes. Turning to Ash and her good friend Puck, she sets out on her mission to end a looming war between her father and the winter queen.

The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa

One word, WOW. I absolutely LOVED this book. The plot was amazing, the characters, as always, are fantastic, and the imagination behind this faerie world is remarkable. I can't get enough of the Iron Fey. A good book/series is one that makes you want to be one of the characters. You want to be the princess, you want the wonderful feeling that there are 2 boys vying for your affections. Its every girls dream. Meghan Chase, she gets to live this dream. As the half human princess of the Summer Fey, she has that summer magic, but as the victim of the Iron Kings attack, she now possesses the magic of the Iron King. And both magics are working against her. Knowing the Iron fey possess a dangerous threat to the rest of the fey, Meghan must venture back into the nevernever to fight, once again for the ones she loves. With the help of her fairy prince Ash, a surprisingly loyal cat and *spoiler alert* the return of her faithful best friend Puck, Meghan goes back into the world she wanted so desperately to leave behind.

The Hunt by Heather Killough-Walden

Demonfire by Kate Douglas

I discovered the first 2 chapters of this book hiding at the back of another novel I had bought for my nook. After finishing those 2 chapters, I was immediately hooked on what would be a fabulous tale of love, sorrow, bravery and an eternal loyalty that only a few people ever find. I bought the entire novel right away. The book starts off with Dax lying naked in a shed and Eddy saving him from a possessed lawn gnome. Completely miffed, Eddy listens to the tales told by Dax of his world, the danger that lurks all around, and the mission he was sent to do, and only a week in which to do it before being sent back into the Abyss. With Eddy and her strangely bred foster dog Bumper, Dax begins his mission to rid Eddy's small town of demon kind before the balance of light and dark is thrown off and turns into Hell on Earth. Little does he know, the demons are growing smarter, they have begun working together. Dax has only a week to complete his mission, if he fails, humanity is lost, and that can't happen. Not after meeting Eddy Marks. Suddenly Dax has a whole new reason for saving the world.

This is an engorging tale of what true love is and the loyalty that can be found in the oddest of places

Toil and Trouble by H.P.Mallory

"Toil and Trouble" picks up immediately where "Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble" left off. After discovering her gift is far more powerful than anyone realized, Jolie Wilkins is in even greater danger now that the entire underworld knows about her. There's a great war coming and everyone wants the witch who reanimates the dead on their side.With her heart torn between the sexy warlock, Rand, and the ever present vampire Sinjin, Jolie must put her feelings behind her and focus on her training if she can ever hope to mend her heart and return to the life she left behind. This installment is fabulous and doesn't miss a moment of adventure, with constant suspense and detailed descriptions of the beauty that surrounds England and Scotland, you feel like you've seen it with your own eyes. An addicting tale, I highly anticipate the next chapter in the life and turmoil that is Jolie Wilkins.

Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble by H.P.Mallory

After browsing several online libraries and the Barnes and Noble website, I just couldn't find a series that screamed at me that I hadn't already devoured with my eyes. Upon seeing such frustration, my friend told me about a series that commanded my attention. Now, I had passed by this series by H.P. Mallory a few times. What turned me off was the cartoon cover. It didn't "scream" at me, so I passed by it without looking back. My friend on the other hand, she was adamant about it so I decided to go ahead and bite the bullet, so to speak. "The Jolie Wilkins" series surprised the heck out of me when I was immediately sucked into a remarkable world of witches, vampires, and of course werewolves. Not your run of the mill fantasy novel, this story has mystery, suspense, excitement and of course lust. An average girl discovers she has the gift of magic when a handsome stranger named Rand comes into her magic shop for a reading. Upon this discovery of herself, Jolie is thrown into a whole new world of amazement and terror when a rival witch wishes to lay claim to Jolie and control her gift. With the help of the her human best friend Christie and the handsome Rand, Jolie must learn how to control her gift and decide which is more important, the fate of the supernatural race, or the human life she has left behind. I highly recommend this series to anyone who has a love of the paranormal.
