With her boss preoccupied researching the Founder Houses in Morganville, student Claire Danvers is left to her own devices when she learns that three vampires have vanished without a trace. She soon discovers that the last person seen with one of the missing vampires is someone new to town-a mysterious individual named Magnus. After an uneasy encounter with Morganville's latest resident, Claire is certain Magnus isn't merely human. But is he a vampire-or something else entirely?

Ever since the draug—mysterious creatures that prey on vampires—took over Morganville, the lives of student Claire Danvers and her friends have been thrown into turmoil. Most of the town’s residents have evacuated, but Claire, Shane, Eve and Michael have chosen to stay and fight.Using the city’s water system to spread, the draug have rapidly multiplied. Things in Morganville look grim, especially since vampire Amelie—the town founder—has been infected by the master draug’s bite. 

Now, if Claire and her friends don’t figure out how to cure Amelie and defeat the draug, it looks like Morganville will become little more than a ghost town…

These two books took me a little longer to get through.  If you follow my Facebook page you know that I was really cutting it short with these date to post.  So I closed the door on my room and tied myself to the bed to read.  These are two books that should be in a bind up!  I would have died if I had to wait for them!!!!!!  Well with the introduction of a new character and creature.  I don't know how the gang is going to fair for the next three books!!!!  

In these we still have the muti POV which I LOVE!  However these were a little bit slower than the other books.  

For both books!

{Review} Snow on the Tulips “Amazon Reader Pack” Giveaway from Liz Tolsma!

A stranger’s life hangs in the balance. But to save him is to risk everything.

The war is drawing to a close, but the Nazis still occupy part of the Netherlands. After the losses she’s endured, war widow Cornelia is only a shadow of the woman she once was. She fights now to protect her younger brother, Johan, who lives in hiding.

When Johan brings Gerrit Laninga, a wounded Dutch Resistance member, to Cornelia’s doorstep, their  lives are forever altered. Although scared of the consequences of harboring a wanted man, Cornelia’s faith won’t let her turn him out.

As she nurses Gerrit back to health, she is drawn to his fierce passion and ideals, and notices a shift within herself. Gerrit’s intensity challenges her, making her want to live fully, despite the fear that constrains her. When the opportunity to join him in the Resistance presents itself, Cornelia must summon every ounce of courage imaginable.

She is as terrified of loving Gerrit as she is of losing him. But as the winter landscape thaws, so too does her heart. Will she get a second chance at true love? She fears their story will end before it even begins.

{Review} {Giveaway} The Morganville Vampire Series Vol. 5 @rachelcaine

Hey guys today marks the  fifth day of a 1 week review!  Each day I will post a review for two of the Morgainville Vampire books ending on Nov. 3rd with Daylighters coming out Nov. 5th!  During this you can enter to win one of two sets of the entire series. 1 is for the USA which will all be in PRINT and one is for INT which will be Ebook!  All you have to do is comment to win!

I wanted to include a little information.  There is NO real Vol. 5 of this series.  As the bind ups were discontinued.  So you can only find books 1-8 in the bind ups.  The rest are sold as normal size paperbacks and hardbacks.  

Get ready for "non-stop vampire action" (Darque Reviews) in the latest Morganville Vampire novel from New York Timesbestselling author Rachel Caine. 

While developing a new system to maintain Morganville's defenses, student Claire Danvers discovers a way to amplify vampire mental powers. Through this, she's able to re-establish the field around this vampire-infested Texas college town that protects it from outsiders. 

But the new upgrades have an unexpected consequence: people inside the town begin to slowly forget who they are-even the vampires. Soon, the town's little memory problem has turned into a full-on epidemic. Now Claire needs to figure out a way to pull the plug on her experiment- before she forgets how to save Morganville...

After discovering that vampires populate her town, college student Claire Danvers knows that the undead just want to live their lives. But someone else wants them to get ready to rumble.

There's a new extreme sport getting picked up on the Internet: bare—knuckle fights pitting captured vampires against each other—or humans. Tracking the remote signal leads Claire—accompanied by her friends and frenemies—to discover that what started as an online brawl will soon threaten everyone in Morganville..

Ghost Town
I really think that this book even with the issues has been my fav.  This series really doesn't set as a series to me.  But more of a lot of short stories with the same characters.  I am so used to a series dealing with one central issues over a few books.  All in all this one is DEFF my fav. It kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen.  As we seen with past books Caine is not scared of killing of characters!!


Bite Club
Bite Club is the only book that I have in an ARC as well as a finished copy!  The only reason I still have the ARC is because its signed lol.  I don't think ill ever be lucky enough to get an entire set signed by Mrs. Caine.   This one is Fight Club with Vamps and again was really good!  We for the first time get to be in another characters POV.  Which I loved!!  I know it was a little hard to get used to and at first I was skipping Shane's POV but then I realized that it was part of the book so I went back and read it all.  And OMG It was great!  Diff. POVs give us readers the inside scoop on what other characters are thinking.  Don't get me wrong I love Claire.  But it was great getting out of her head for a while.

For both books!

{Blast} The Darkest Part @TrishWolfe

Pressing the boundaries of both the psyche and the heart, Sam and Holden embark on a dangerous journey that will test the limits of love.

Sam Wintry’s life used to be almost perfect. She was engaged to her childhood best friend and high school sweetheart, Tyler Marks, planning an amazing cross-country honeymoon during her college break. But after a hit-and-run leaves her in ruin, she begins seeing Tyler’s fractured, ghostly presence, and her family believes she’s losing her mind. Not until she completes their journey, stopping along the way to scatter Tyler's remains, will Tyler be able cross over. Only...is Sam ready for him to leave her?

When the black sheep of the Marks' family, Holden Marks, returns to check on Tyler's case, Sam convinces him to give her his brother's ashes. Despite their shaky history, she needs him...plus, he owes it to Sam and his brother. What she doesn’t count on is Holden’s relentlessness to go on the trip.

On the road, Holden realizes just how unhinged Sam has become. Dealing with her psychosis forces him to confront his dark past, making it harder to keep secrets hidden that should remain buried. Especially from Sam, the only woman he’s ever loved. And as Sam starts to unravel the truth, she begins to question if the brother she's unwillingly falling for again is in an even darker place than her.

{Guest Post} {Review} {Giveaway} Relic by #HeatherTerrell @soho_teen

The truth will test you...

For fans of Game of Thrones and The Hunger Games: high fantasy and dystopia meet in this high-stakes tale of a civilization built on lies and the girl who single-handedly brings it down.

When Eva’s twin brother, Eamon, falls to his death just a few months before he is due to participate in The Testing, no one expects Eva to take his place. She’s a Maiden, slated for embroidery classes, curtseys, and soon a prestigious marriage befitting the daughter of an Aerie ruler. But Eva insists on honoring her brother by becoming a Testor. After all, she wouldn’t be the first Maiden to Test, just the first in 150 years.

Eva knows the Testing is no dance class. Gallant Testors train for their entire lives to search icy wastelands for Relics: artifacts of the corrupt civilization that existed before The Healing drowned the world. Out in the Boundary Lands, Eva must rely on every moment of the lightning-quick training she received from Lukas—her servant, a Boundary native, and her closest friend now that Eamon is gone.

But there are threats in The Testing beyond what Lukas could have prepared her for. And no one could have imagined the danger Eva unleashes when she discovers a Relic that shakes the Aerie to its core.

Biography

Heather Terrell is a lawyer with more than ten years' experience as a litigator at two of the country's premier law firms and for Fortune 500 companies. She is a magna cum laude graduate of Boston College with a focus in History, and a cum laude graduate of the Boston University School of Law. While practicing as a lawyer, Heather dreamed of a fantastical job unraveling the larger mysteries of time and uncovering the truths lurking in legend and myth -- and found it when she tried her hand at writing. She first wrote the historical novels The Chrysalis and The Map Thief, which will appear in more than ten countries, as well as Brigid of Kildare. She made the transition to young adult fiction with the series Fallen Angel -- and continues it now with The Books of Eva.

Well this one was great and I don't think that the cover does it justice.  The first part of the book is all about Eva and her testing.  To it was some pretty good world building and a great start to the story.   As well as being able to tell friend from foe.  The last part of the book is all about after her testing.  Which was deff. my fav!  I so can't wait for the next one in this series.  I do with that the first half of the book was just a tad bit faster.  It tends to drag on some parts.  This book is deff set as a series.  Which is not bad.  Some issues in the book gets solved and some don't.  Its a great start to what is to be a great series.

Guest Post with Author! 

Who would you cast as Lukas, 
the main character's mysterious love interest 

This is such a challenging question, because I have a precise image of Lukas’ rugged, handsome appearance -- with his dark eyes and hair--and it’s unique from anyone I’ve actually seen. It’s also difficult to cast Lukas in that he has such a specific background -- he’s from one of the  indigenous Arctic cultures, Inuit most particularly -- and he has unusual physical strength -- he’s a phenomenal ice climber. That’s a tough order to fill! That said, if I was forced to choose, I think I’d probably cast Taylor Lautner. Although he doesn’t have the actual Arctic background (at least not that I know!), his appearance approximates it, and from the Twilight 

movies, I’d say he has fairly substantial physicality. And he could probably convey Lukas’ unique qualities of innate kindness, quiet conviction, and smoldering emotion.

Giveaway! So I have two ARCs of this book up for grabs and I'm not doing anything special for them.  Just share this post and comment on what you did.  The more you share the more points you get.  If you find that you can't comment (it happens a lot) just use the form on the side bar.  This is open to EVERYONE!

Now together in one volume, the seventh and eight books in the Morganville Vampires series show that even without an evil masyer vampire controlling the town, Morganville is still a dangerous place to be - for humans and vampires alike...


FADE OUT 
Without Bishop ruling over the town of Morganville, life has changed - dramatically. The resident vampires have made major concessions to the human population. With their newfound freedoms, Claire Danvers and her friends are almost starting to feel comfortable again, but when a filmmaker goes missing after starting work on a short documentary about vampires, Clair and her friends are feeling anything but safe.


KISS OF DEATH 

Vampire Michael Glass just received the call he's been waiting for all his life. His music has attracted the attention of a heavily connected music producer who wants to cut a demo and play some dates - which means Michael and his friends will have to enter the human world. But between a pack of hateful humans and a savage party of traveling vampires, Michael, Claire, Shane, and Eve may not make it to the show on time...or ever.

Well these two books went very fast.  With a lot of backstory tossed in for those who either 1. have not read the series. and 2. for those who have not read them all at once.  So if you haven't read these in a while its ok.  You will deff know what is going on by the first chapter or so.  From life changing in Fade Out.  New laws and rules for both sides.  The humans start to come out of their shells and are not as afraid to tell it like it is.  I think they have found their will to live again.  Then in Kiss of Death Michael comes center stage for a the chance of a lifetime and this also has our first full story set OUTSIDE of Morganville!

For both books!

In Cornerstone, Valencia Roth died to protect her daughter. In Jaded Stone, she'll live for her.

Twenty years before the events of Cornerstone, Valencia Roth is the Crown Princess of Sheas, as lonely as she is privileged. She wants for nothing, except a clear path toward peace for her land. She’s always known personal happiness might not be in The Three’s plan for her. As the future ruler of Sheas, and a Cornerstone, her life belongs to her people.

But when Valencia meets the charming Reid Hendel, she dares to believe love could be within her reach. That is, if they can both survive long enough for it to blossom. A new threat prowls the land, and she’s their primary target. Armed with stubborn pride and all the resources of Sheas, she fears nothing—until her brother leads her intended directly into the fray and at least one of them doesn’t return. 

Burdened with grief, Valencia must carve her own path forward. From the forge of chaos, a new era will be born.

With the arrival of the evil master vampire Bishop, the small college town of Morganville, Texas, has dissolved into chaos. Now together in one volume, the fifth and sixth books of the Morganville Vampires series show that defeating Bishop is a task that's going to take some serious skill....


LORD OF MISRULE 

In Morganville, violent black clouds promise a storm of devastating proportions. As student Claire Danvers and her friends prepare to defend Morganville against the elements - both natural and unnatural - the unexpected happen
s: Morganville's vampires begin to vanish one by one. Discovering why leads Claire to one last choice: Swear allegiance to Bishop - or die....


CARPE CORPUS 

An underground resistance is brewing in Morganville. In order to contain it, Bishop vows to obliterate the town and all its inhabitants - the livingand the undead. Claire Danvers and her friends are the only ones who stand in his way. But even if they defeat Bishop, will the vampires ever be content to go back to the old rules after having such a taste of power?

I can say now without a doubt that these first 8 books really do belong together in the bind ups.  I think I would have died esp. in the first two books if I would have had to wait for them to be published.  I love the way that the story and world have come together.  And now toss in a new face from the past and it works out very well.  We of course still have the issues.  But again those will go away when you get to book 11.

For both books!

In a case that could change her career, Miranda uncovers a love that will change her life.

When Miranda Hunt sees the classified ad for an heiress to the legendary Last Chance Ranch, she knows assuming the identity of Annie Beckman is the perfect cover. As one of the finest agents for the Pinkerton Detective Agency, Miranda has been tasked with apprehending the Phantom—an elusive and notorious train robber thought to be hiding on the sprawling ranch.

But she isn’t the only one at the ranch with something to hide. Wells Fargo detective Jeremy Taggart is working undercover as well. Their true identities may be a secret, but it is impossible for Jeremy and Miranda to hide the sparks flaring between them.

Neither is about to let romance interfere with such a huge case. Besides, Miranda hasn’t removed Jeremy from her list of suspects yet. The closer they get to uncovering the identity of the Phantom, the more dangerous he gets—and no one on the ranch is safe.

The longer Miranda and Jeremy spend working together, the harder it becomes to keep their feelings in check. Their careers—and their lives—depend on solving this case. Love will just have to wait.

Thrills, mystery, suspense, romance: Margaret penned it all. Nothing wrong with this--except Margaret happened to be writing for the church newsletter at the time. After making the church picnic read like a Grisham novel, her former pastor took her aside and said, "Maybe God's calling you to write fiction." So that's what Margaret did. She's now a New York Times bestselling author and a Romance Writers of America RITA finalist with more than 25 novels to her credit. Her first non-fiction book "Grieving God's Way: the Lasting Path to Hope and Healing" has won much critical acclaim. She is currently working on the third book in her "Brides of Last Chance Ranch series." Not bad for someone who flunked 8th grade English. Just don't ask her to diagram a sentence.

This author really knows how to write a story!  Ever since I got started reviewing from Lite Fuse I have been so surprised on how many great books there are out there.  That even though they are listed as Christian Fiction or Romance etc.  They are amazing books that anyone could love.  This one is no less amazing!  I made it through the book in one day!  Brownley makes her characters come alive on the page and just makes amazingly unforgettable books!
