Crystal Crowned Synopsis</h3>

<em style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">Long live Solaris.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
One bloodthirsty ruler has been overthrown by another, casting the shadow of death over the Solaris Empire. Vhalla Yarl stands upon the stage of fate, prepared to do battle one final time. Fragile alliances will be tested and new bonds will be formed as the world is reshaped. She fights as the champion of peace, but when the night is darkest will she be able to pay the price of a new dawn?</div>

Exclusive Excerpt</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
With just the one weapon and a leather jerkin, she struck a course northward. Given all the reports she’d been receiving, it seemed like the most logical location for her Emperor. A red sunrise streaked across the sky, mirroring the crimson land before her.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
The casualties had been heavy, heavier than she expected given the number of soldiers who had been in the Western force surrounding the city. But the hulking corpses of giant winged beasts offered a chilling explanation. Teeth longer than her body jutted out from their massive jowls. They had almost canine-like heads but with thick leathery skin pulled taut against oddly shaped muscles. Some had two arms, some had four, one even had six. They had the wings of a wyvern and scorpion-like tails. It was a creature that the Gods had never intended to exist, and the now-dormant crystals embedded in their bodies glinted like dull obsidian in the sunlight, slowly cracking into dust.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
A handful of men and women were surrounded, forced to their knees. Soldiers waited around them, sorcerers and Commons alike, ready to execute the traitors who had ridden in to kill them all on the backs of monsters. The lean figure of a man was mounted before the lot—an Emperor casting judgment on those who fought against his throne.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“. . . forsake the false king.” Vhalla could hear Aldrik’s words as she approached. “Those who give information will be rewarded with their lives.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
No one spoke.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“You protect a coward,” Vhalla called out, announcing her presence. Aldrik turned in surprise as she rode up next to him. “You stand with a man whose power comes not through his own merit—as he would have you believe—but through theft.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“What would you know?” one of the kneeling sorcerers demanded, curiosity drawing the words from him.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“I know all too well,” Vhalla replied quietly, “because I was the one whose powers he stole.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">Now she had their attention.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“Victor could not open the caverns on his own; he wasn’t strong enough to manage the crystals. I know because he needed me to help him do it. When he had what he wanted, he stole my magic to make him immune from the taint.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“Lies!” one sneered. “The taint only affects those of weak will, Commons, and lesser sorcerers.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
Desperation carved the way for stupidity in the hearts of men.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“You can’t possibly believe that. Is that what Victor has told you? That you are the strong ones and immune?” She shook her head with a bitter sorrowful laugh. “He has written you off as expendable with his lies.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“Are you really the Windwalker?” a timid voice asked from among them.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“I was.” Vhalla spoke only to the man who had asked. “I was the Windwalker until he stole my powers. Now I am a Commons. It was my magic that unleashed this monster upon the world—”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“Vhalla . . .” Aldrik had a cautionary note.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“—but because of that, no one will fight harder than me to do what is necessary to right that wrong.” The words hurt. They hurt like the wind still hurt on her cheeks, plain and un-magical. But it was finally the right kind of hurt. The hurt of a confession that needed to be said. “This is but a night. The sun will rise again, and I stand with the dawn.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
She looked to the Emperor. His eyes were a chameleon over the past few weeks, constantly changing to match the woman she was becoming.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“Who will stand with the sun?” He tore his eyes away from her to make his final demand.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
The man who had asked his timid question stood slowly. “A false king sits on a false throne.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“You disgrace sorcerers,” another loyalist spat. “You’ll follow a liar and a Commons.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“Strength channels its own magic,” the man said in reply, looking directly at Vhalla.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“Who else will stand with us?” Vhalla demanded.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
Two more stood.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“Why take pity on them?” a Western soldier finally spoke. “They fight against your Empire. Put them to death.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“Because a wise woman taught me that no soul is beyond saving,” Aldrik replied easily.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
Vhalla’s chest tightened, instantly thinking of Larel.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
“Those who stand with us, live; those who do not, die. Make your choice. Dawn comes and it will wait for no man.” Aldrik turned back to Victor’s sorcerers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
Two more stood, five in total. That was all who were spared. Vhalla bore a silent witness to the other sorcerers who died for Victor’s ideal. Men and women who had become so tainted with his lies that they valued his dogma more than their lives.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #282828; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">
Vhalla counted every man and woman put to death. <em style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">Twenty-three in total</em>. She shifted in her saddle and felt the sword pulling heavy on her shoulder. The next time she saw Victor she would stab him herself, Vhalla resolved, twenty-three times.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "open sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: none; word-wrap: break-word;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
First of all, I just want to say that this book has the most
beautiful cover I have ever seen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was so not ready to say goodbye to this world and hence I
started this book almost 3 weeks after I had received it, I know that most
people would have dived straight in but I had to brace myself.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The book started off on a good start, right after where the
last book ended so that is a good thing that we didn’t feel like there was
something missing. It only got better from there onwards.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All the characters we met previously are there, as well as
many new faces, and the bond between them is as strong as ever. Elecia did
irritate me a little again but I was very fond of her by the end. Jax brings
some light to the dark times with his jokes but we see the man behind the façade
and learn a lot about him in Crystal Crowned. Although some his behavior didn’t
sit well with me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The book had adventure and war but it also had friendship
and romance. All these elements were well balanced. The romantic element isn’t
overpowering but it is just enough to not bore the reader with only the
brutality and bloodshed of war. Most of the time, my only thoughts were that
please don’t let anyone I like die, which had a habit of happening in the last
books.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lots of surprises and mysteries of the previous books were
finally solved. Everyone evolved as people and they were different than who
they were at the beginning. I love happy endings and it had one. The ending was
sooo sweet and I liked that it had a different POV,I won’t tell you who ;)</div>

I was sad that it had to end but This book was amazing and everyone should read it. </div>

SYNOPSIS:</div>
<div>
<em style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Librarian turned sorcerer. Sorcerer turned hero. Hero turned puppet.</em><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">The Solaris Empire found victory in the North and, at the cost of her heart and her innocence, Vhalla Yarl has earned her freedom. But the true fight is only beginning as the secret forces that have been lurking in the shadows, tugging at the strings of Vhalla's fate, finally come to light. Nowhere is safe, and Vhalla must tread carefully or else she'll fall into the waiting arms of her greatest foe. Or former lover</span></div>

REVIEW:<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"> *WARNING:There may be some spoilers*</span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">First of all I would like to tell you that Water has always been my most favorite element.If I could choose any element to have power over,I would choose Water.As such,I was super excited to read this book,especially after the ending of Earth's End.I started with very high hopes that Miss Kova would do justice to this element as well and I was not disappointed.Although it did make me feel unbearably sad.I'd say this was one of the most saddest book I've ever read.It made me cry.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Vhalla, I thought made very idiotic choices in this book,a lot of pain could have been avoided if she had used better judgement.But I suppose that is what made this book realistic as no one is perfect.All I can say is that Elise Kova is certainly a master of surprises.I really did NOT expect whatever happened to happen.I'm thinking the author must revel in tormenting us so much.A death of a much beloved character was a sore point,I want to ask WHYY????? :(</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">So much was revealed,it seems like in every book something vital comes to light and all the pieces start to fit together.I just know that this is one book which I will be thinking about for a while.I had to close my eyes and take deep breathe after the end of it.Now I really can't wait for the last book but while I'm waiting,I need to go and read a very very very happy book to control my emotions and maybe forget about this one for a while.Despite all the despair,I do not regret reading it and this series has fast become one of my most favorite books EVER.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;">*WARNING:There may be some spoilers*</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Another great book in the Air Awakens series.My first thought is that I finally found out what Aldrik's horse is named,I wanted to know that ever since Vhalla named hers,silly I know.And Vhalla FINALLY started to eat.The great thing about this series is that in every book,we are introduced to some new characters that we can't help but love.In this book,Jax was one such character,he made me laugh at his antics.Other than him,Baldair and Elicia were a big part.Daniel on the other hand was very frustrating but sweet too.A lot happened and there was a lot of detail about the war which somehow wasn't boring at all.We even got answers to some of my questions. Aldrik was very different in this,I still have no idea if that was a good or bad thing.We came to know some new things about him,not all of them good.There were lots of cute moments between Vhalla and Aldrik between the chaos of war which helped to prevent the book from being very grim.Ugghh I wanted to punch the emperor in the face!!What a Jerk! I think Vhalla matured even more during this book and I admired that she took a stand with Aldrik and did not let him bulldoze over her.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">I could not help but love this book,even though THAT ENDING!It was heart wrenching and brutal.</span></span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">WOW is the first thing that comes to mind when I think about this book.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">The starting captured my attention right away and I became engrossed in the book from that point on wards and had trouble putting it down to perform even my everyday tasks.A lot happened in this book, more than what happened in the first one.It showed me the bond of friendship and love.It was good to see how amazing Vhalla's friends were along with her friendship with Aldrik and how their feelings blossomed.Most of the characters were very much likable except a few who although, to my amazement, were not as bad as they seemed at first.This book made me change my opinion on a lot of characters,teaching me an important lesson that first impressions shouldn't always be the last impressions.It was good to see that in Elise Kova's fantasy world,females were a part of the army and were equal to the men.Another thing I liked was how Vhalla had to be trained and did not automatically become an expert on fighting like how it is shown in most books.And her training focused not only on her magical abilities but also on her physical ones,so that she was not only reliant on her magic.I also got to see much more of Vhalla and Aldrik together,which was so cute <3.The moments between them were just amazing.One thing I absolutely LOVED was that we got to see some glimpses of Aldrik's past and thoughts through Vhalla. Another thing in the books favor was that it stayed true to its name and much of it was about fire along with being given information about the different abilities that come with the different elements.I liked how she did not get this information all at once and there are multiple things that the sorcerors can do that we do not yet know about. There are some things that I would love to know more about and questions whose answers I wish were given. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">There are very few books that have managed to make me cry and this was one of them.By the end,I was left emotionally exhausted after experiencing all the feels.But it was definitely worth it.</span></div>

SYNOPSIS:</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">A library apprentice, a sorcerer prince, and an unbreakable magic bond...</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">The Solaris Empire is one conquest away from uniting the continent, and the rare elemental magic sleeping in seventeen-year-old library apprentice Vhalla Yarl could shift the tides of war.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Vhalla has always been taught to fear the Tower of Sorcerers, a mysterious magic society, and has been happy in her quiet world of books. But after she unknowingly saves the life of one of the most powerful sorcerers of them all—the Crown Prince Aldrik—she finds herself enticed into his world. Now she must decide her future: Embrace her sorcery and leave the life she’s known, or eradicate her magic and remain as she’s always been. And with powerful forces lurking in the shadows, Vhalla’s indecision could cost her more than she ever imagined.</span></div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"> *WARNING:There may be some spoilers*</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Let me start of by just saying that the first thing that got me to notice this book was it's cover,which is just so pretty,don't you agree?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Ever since my exams ended,I was stuck in a reading slump and no book was appealing me enough to read.Fast forward to last night at 2am when I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep.I had been meaning to read this series closer to the release of the last book since nothing is more painful for me than waiting for the next book in a series I like to be released and I had a feeling this one was gonna be one of those.So since the last book is gonna be released in July,I figured this time was as good as another.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">And I do NOT regret this decision at all!Even though I didn't end up going back to sleep until the sun was in the sky.I just LOVED this book so much!It has 3 of my most favorite things in it,</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"> 1.A Kick-ass Heroine who does not hesitate in cursing out a Prince to his face</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"> 2.A Mysterious and Swoon worthy Crown Prince</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"> 3.And of </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">course MAGIC</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Plus,who doesn't love a protagonist who works in a library and loves to read ;)</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">The letters were a really nice touch,especially in how they were used to explain the history that most authors simply dump in a long boring paragraph and which I then skim over.I found the fonts of the letters to be beautiful and I also liked that they were different for both parties.The budding friendship that was shown between the two leads was only one of the millions of things I liked about this book.There was no Inst-love or perfect friendship like there isn't in real life.So the doses of reality were quite nice,another example of which is that the author wrote a history in which people invaded and destroyed peace in the name of religion,which is true for our history as well. Aldrik was simply amazing and you have to read this book to understand why because I don't want to give spoilers.I even liked his brother,normally in books like these,one brother is set up as evil but it refeshingly wasn't the case in this one. The overall imagery was conveyed in a manner that I had very little trouble following although keeping up with and envisioning the regions and names was a little difficult. It was reasonably paced and how the story suddenly took a turn was very unexpected,which I very much enjoyed.</span></span></span></div>
<div>
All in all,it was a great read so I'm going to end this review now and go to read the rest of the books :)</div>

This is the last post for the poison study readalong.So here are my thoughts on the ending of Poison Study by Maria V.Snyder.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #282828; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: medium; line-height: 28.8px;">MY THOUGHTS</span><br />
<span style="color: #282828; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28.8px;">That ENDING!Wow! Pretty unexpected.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #282828; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28.8px;">And the moment I had been waiting for finally came,Valek and Yelena <3 <3</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #282828; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28.8px;">So many answers and I loved how all of them were gradually revealed.From the beginning I had no idea what to make of the Commander,whether he was good or not,this definitely made up my mind for me.The support that Yelena had from her friends and everyone was heartwarming.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #282828; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28.8px;">This was exactly an ending I LOVE in all books,surprising,happy and still left a lot of chance of new possibilities.A 5 star read for sure.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #282828; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28.8px;">These are the chapters where things get really interesting.I just love Janco and Ari!They start training Yelena and quickly become great friends with her.Their bantering never failed to make me laugh.And the rhymes!OMG.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #282828; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28.8px;">We also see clues as to Valek's feelings for Yelena and get to see some sweet moments between them.Some of our questions get answered and there's a lot of mystery and intrigue.I can't say more without giving away some serious spoilers,just know that its definitely interesting and just not possible to put down.</span></span><br />

<strong>OBLIVION Synopsis:</strong>
<em>Experience the epic love story of OBSIDIAN as told by its hero, Daemon Black…</em>
I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in next door, there was going to be trouble. Lots of it.
And trouble’s the last thing I need, since I’m not exactly from around here. My people arrived on Earth from Lux, a planet thirteen billion light years away. Plus, if there’s one thing I know, it’s that humans can’t be trusted. We scare them. We can do things they only dream about, and honestly, we make them look weak as hell. ‘Cuz they are.
But Kat is getting to me in ways no one else has, and I can't stop myself from wanting her—or wanting to use my powers to protect her. She makes <em>me </em>weak, and I’m the strongest of our kind, tasked with protecting us all. So this one simple girl…she can mean the end for us. Because the Luxen have an even bigger enemy—the Arum, and I need to stay on my game.
Falling for Katy—a human—won't just place her in danger.It could get us <em>all</em> killed, and that’s one thing I’ll never let happen...

When she’s not hard at work writing, she spends her time reading, watching really bad zombie movies, pretending to write, and hanging out with her husband and her Jack Russell Loki.
Her dreams of becoming an author started in algebra class, where she spent most of her time writing short stories….which explains her dismal grades in math. Jennifer writes young adult paranormal, science fiction, fantasy, and contemporary romance. She is published with Spencer Hill Press, Entangled Teen and Brazen, Disney/Hyperion and Harlequin Teen. Her book Obsidian has been optioned for a major motion picture and her Covenant Series has been optioned for TV. Her young adult romantic suspense novel DON’T LOOK BACK was a 2014 nominated Best in Young Adult Fiction by YALSA.
She also writes Adult and New Adult contemporary and paranormal romance under the name J. Lynn. She is published by Entangled Brazen and HarperCollins.

<br />
This was supposed to be written last week but I've been so busy that I forgot.I already gave an introduction in the last post so I'll skip that for the rest of the posts.Hence,if you have no idea what I'm talking about,check out my last post.<br />
So here it is,my thoughts on chapter 9-17 of poison study.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #282828; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large; line-height: 28.8px;">MY THOUGHTS</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #282828; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28.8px;">The chapter starts with Yelena moving into Valek's rooms where she finds a message which calls her a murderer.It spooks her a little but she doesn't obsess over it and moves on,this I liked about her.We get to know more about Ixia and its working e.g the uniforms.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #282828; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28.8px;">One thing I was pretty confused about was why Yelena constantly called a rat?Aren't rats basically spies?But Yelena didn't sell information,she murdered someone.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #282828; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28.8px;">I don't like Margg even though throughout the book most people have said how loyal she is.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #282828; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 28.8px;">The story Dilana told about Margg and her was pretty entertaining.entertaining. Yelena is chosen for a special assignment and she admittedly does great in it and we can see her innovative and clever thinking. Valek still doesn't trust Yelena but he's getting there.The encounter with the magician got me thinking and left me with a lot of questions.We also meet Ari and Janco and get to see more of Valek's skills.No wonder he's feared.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #282828; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 28.8px;">Yelena makes a new enemy and some friends who now agree to train her.Not bad for 8 chapters.As usual I loved these and I couldn't stop reading.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #282828; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 28.8px;"><br /></span></span></span></div>

<br />
This month I'm taking part in the Poison Study read-along hosted in celebration for the tenth anniversary of Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder.<br />
<br />
This was my first time reading the book even though I had found a paperback of the book at an old book store (where I get most of my books since they allow me to buy more books at far cheaper prices as well as all types of interesting books in great condition) last year.I admit I was intrigued but didn't get the opportunity to read it.It was just sitting there gathering dust (just kidding,I'd never let my books stay dirty) until I found out about the readalong. That's when I thought,Hey I should totally read this now,plus I get the chance to win books,Win Win!<br />
<br />
I just devoured it but I'm gonna pretend that I didn't read the whole series in 4 days and just read the first 8 chapters of the first book.I'm gonna post every week of this month about my thoughts on the book (SPOILER:I thought it was awesome).<br />

<span style="color: #282828; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><span style="line-height: 28.8px;">MY THOUGHTS</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The book started off by introducing us to the main protagonist Yelena (I like the name),whose in the dungeon awaiting her punishment for murder.It was such a different and interesting concept that I was immediately hooked.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yelena despite being a prisoner wasn't a weak person and she had secrets.It was clever of the author not to disclose all her secrets at once (e.g about why she killed a man) and she kept me guessing.It just made me want to keep reading until I found out everything.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The poison lessons were fun in reading and I wonder which tests are true.She had to go through a lot to prove she could do her job as a taste tester but she also had to protect herself from soldiers of General Brazell (she killed his son).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The world which it was set in had an amazing concept and she described it perfectly,although I did get confused sometimes.Ixia is a world I'd love to know more about.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Valek,the Commander's right hand man ,chief of security and assassin was quite a character.Gruff and mean at first but the author gave us just enough glimpses of his soft side to make me like him (at least in these chapters ;) ).He had even more secrets than Yelena and a scary reputation which just added to his overall mysterious persona.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A lot happened in the first 8 chapters and I have a feeling it just gets more interesting (I've already read it so what I really mean is that a lot really IS going to happen).</div>

About to be executed for murder, Yelena is offered an extraordinary reprieve. She’ll eat the best meals, have rooms in the palace—and risk assassination by anyone trying to kill the Commander of Ixia.</div>

<i>Three wishes. Two lovers. One destiny.</i><br />
<div>
<i><br /></i>When the snarky Glory St. Pierre discovers the gold mechanical vase in her deceased grandmother’s basement, she has no idea that she has uncovered a priceless treasure: a genie lamp. With a real genie inside. A very sexy genie with a not-so-sexy grudge against the entire human race.<br />
<br />
Irving Amir hates being called a genie. He’s a Djinn, and he is none too happy to be in the service of Glory, who is as intolerable, and beautiful, as humans come. Now he owes her his gratitude for freeing him and three wishes. Damn his luck.<br />
<br />
But an arrow through the shoulder alerts Irving to the fact that he is being hunted, and after a truce dinner with Glory ends with them both almost being killed, hating each other goes right out the window. As feelings change and love starts to develop, they must dig through the secrets and lies to find the truth...a truth neither of them will ever see coming.<br />
<br />
<br />
Excerpt #1<br />
“There it is,” he said.<br />
<br />
“There what is?” I looked down and saw the gold mechanical vase. “Oh, the vase thing?”<br />
<br />
He shot me a look. “It is not a vase.” He looked down again. “It’s a Chronolier.”<br />
<br />
“A what?”<br />
<br />
“A Chronolier. It means ‘golden exodus’.”<br />
<br />
“Golden exodus?”<br />
<br />
“Yes. But in simple, mortal terms even you could understand, it’s a lamp.”<br />
<br />
I frowned. “Like a light lamp?”<br />
<br />
“No.”<br />
<br />
“A lava lamp?”<br />
<br />
“What in the hell...no.”<br />
<br />
I thought about it some more. Then laughed. “You can’t mean what I think you mean.”<br />
<br />
He cocked his head at me. “What is it you think I mean?”<br />
<br />
I pointed. “You think that’s a lamp. Like a genie lamp.”<br />
<br />
“Djinn is the correct term and I don’t think anything. I know.”<br />
<br />
“How do you know?”<br />
<br />
“Because,” he said, “I’m the Djinn it belongs to.”<br />
<br />
He didn’t even give me a chance to process that.<br />
<br />
“Where is the key?” he asked.<br />
<br />
“The key?” I remembered it had fallen off my bed and landed somewhere…<br />
<br />
“There.” Irving knelt down and retrieved the key from under my bed.<br />
<br />
“So it is,” I mumbled, trying to blink away the approaching dizzy spell.<br />
<br />
“Thank Sultan,” he said, examining the key as he stood. He held it up. “This key is quite valuable, Glory St. Pierre. You should try not to be so careless with it.”<br />
<br />
“Excuse you? I don’t even know what the fuck you’re talking about!”<br />
<br />
Irving rolled his eyes like I was slow and should have caught on already. “You found my Chronolier and you turned this key, at least three times, correct? Which means, I’m yours for three wishes.”<br />
<br />
I blinked. “Are you saying–”<br />
<br />
“Yes, Glory. I’m a Djinn.” He blew out an impatient breath. “Or a genie. But if you call me that, I will make your life as unpleasant as possible at every opportunity.”<br />
<br />
I stared at him. “Okay.” I reached down and dragged my covers off the floor and over my head. “I’m ready to wake up now.” This had to be a dream. I pointed toward the sky. “I blame you for this!” Old Addie would know who I was talking to.<br />
<br />
“You are not dreaming, Glory,” Irving said.<br />
<br />
The hell I wasn’t. Dude had just told me he was a fucking genie. I better be dreaming.<br />

Blurb<br />
In New York Times Bestselling author Nalini Singh’s newest contemporary romance, passion ignites between a gorgeous, sinfully sexy man who built himself up from nothing and a shy woman who has a terrible secret in her past…<br />
Wealthy businessman Gabriel Bishop rules the boardroom with the same determination and ruthlessness that made him a rock star on the rugby field. He knows what he wants, and he’ll go after it no-holds-barred.<br />
And what he wants is Charlotte Baird.<br />
Charlotte knows she’s a mouse. Emotionally scarred and painfully shy, she just wants to do her job and remain as invisible as possible. But the new CEO—a brilliant, broad-shouldered T-Rex of a man who growls and storms through the office, leaving carnage in his wake—clearly has other plans. Plans that may be equal parts business and bedroom.<br />
If Charlotte intends to survive this battle of wits and hearts, the mouse will have to learn to wrangle the T-Rex. Game on.<br />

<br />
EXCERPT<br />
Charlotte arrived at work at seven thirty the next morning to find Gabriel Bishop’s office door open, but no carnivorous predator inside. A fresh suit was hanging on the back of his door, however, which meant he’d been in already.<br />
Deciding to catch up on e-mails that had come in overnight from international suppliers as well as stores involved in a stock take, she was typing a reply when a sweaty Gabriel arrived fifteen minutes later. He was dressed in black running shorts and a faded University of Auckland T-shirt that was currently sticking to his body.<br />
She’d known he was in shape, but now she realized none of it was an illusion created by his well-cut suits. Okay, she’d already known that, but seeing his muscled body in the flesh was a whole different ball game. He was built like a tank, hard and powerful.<br />
Each of his thighs was thicker than both of hers put together, his biceps toned, his shoulders appearing even wider than usual. Everything about him was big. Civilized clothing didn’t make him look better, she realized—it toned down his intense masculinity. Out of his suits, with the ink on the upper part of his left arm exposed, as well as that on his opposing thigh and…<br />
Her skin hot and lower body clenching, she just nodded in response to his “Good morning.”<br />
Disappearing into his office, he returned with his suit pants and a fresh shirt slung over his arm, along with a sports bag. “Push the meeting with Sales to nine, will you, Ms. Baird? I need to talk to HR about something before then.”<br />
“Yes, sir,” Charlotte said almost soundlessly, but he was already gone, heading toward the employee shower one floor down.<br />
The thigh tattoo went all the way around, the design intricate.<br />
Heart rate a rapid stutter, Charlotte got up after he disappeared and decided to go grab him a coffee. He’d bought her one yesterday after all. She was just being nice. “Oh, shut up, Charlotte,” she muttered once she was in the elevator, and slumped her face into an upraised hand.<br />
The truth was she was running away. Only for a few minutes, but that’s what this was: strategic retreat. Gabriel Bishop was overwhelming. Once, before she’d ever met him and under the influence of cocktails, she’d told Molly she wanted to rip off his shirt and sink her teeth into his pecs.<br />
That desire hadn’t waned even now that she knew he was a T-Rex. Of course, the desire was all strictly in her imagination. The idea of actually handling him in real life? So impossible as to be laughable. Charlie-mouse was not about to play with a predator who could eat her alive and not even notice the bones. The good news was that she could admire him in relative safety—there was no chance in hell he’d ever notice her as a woman.<br />
Getting the coffee from a nearby café, she took it back upstairs. He was in his office when she entered, the striped dark gray of his tie hanging around his neck and his damp hair roughly combed. The scent of clean, fresh soap over warm skin permeated the office. Shooting her a smile that turned him from gorgeous to flat-out devastating, he flipped up the collar of his white shirt to get the tie in place. “Thank you, Ms. Baird.”<br />
Nodding, Charlotte escaped, though she really wanted to stay. She’d never realized how erotic it was to watch a man dress until this precise moment. And she shouldn’t be having these thoughts about her boss—especially since she couldn’t keep from quivering like a rabbit in his presence. Sometimes she just annoyed herself.<br />
“Get to work,” she muttered and knuckled down.<br />
Gabriel was fine for the first hour, but then he began barking orders even a six-armed woman with a split personality would have had trouble handling.<br />
Finally, pushed to the edge, Charlotte snapped. “I’m going as fast as I can!” she yelled when he asked her for something a minute after he’d asked her to complete another task.<br />
He scowled and held out a file. “This is a priority.”<br />
Grabbing it from his hand, she said, “Fine,” and slapped it down on her desk.<br />
It was over an hour later that he disappeared for ten minutes. When he returned, it was to put a small bakery box on her desk. “I think you need something to sweeten your mood today, Ms. Baird.”<br />
What she needed was for the T-Rex who was her boss to stop snarling and growling, she thought as he returned to his office. Not opening the box until her curiosity had almost killed her, she found it held a slice of decadent chocolate cake with a white-chocolate ganache topped with curls of both white and milk chocolate. “I cannot be bribed with cake,” she muttered, eating a bite nonetheless.<br />

<br />
Two Truths and a Lie by Ashley Stoyanoff<br />
Publication date: February 28th 2015<br />
Genres: New Adult, Romance<br />
<br />
Synopsis:<br />
One year ago, I became a missing person. I left everything behind—family, friends, school. It seemed like a good idea at the time. My only option, really, until I realized running from a police officer isn’t as easy as I thought it would be.<br />
<br />
It’s been exactly three-hundred and sixty-five days since I left home, but I’m finally ready to take the step I should have taken a year ago. I’m done hiding. I’m done running. I’m going to take my life back.<br />
<br />
It was supposed to be easy. A meeting with Jason Pierce, a private investigator, was set up for me. All I had to do was go to him, let him do his thing, and then I could go home, or so I thought.<br />
<br />
That is, until I met Jason and things got … complicated.<br />

<strong>WICKED Synopsis:</strong>
Things are about to get <em>Wicked</em> in New Orleans.
Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost <em>everything</em> at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart.
Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has shaped for her.
But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul.

<strong>Excerpt: </strong>
<br />
<div style="color: #222222;">
All the words in the world vanished the moment I got an eyeful of Ren.
Holy hotness with an extra side of sexy, when Ren cleaned up, he took his handsomeness into a totally different stratosphere.
The waves and curls of his hair were currently tamed, styled back from his face, showing off the angle of his cheekbones and the fullness of his lips. He was wearing a white dress shirt that showed off the hard lines of his broad shoulders and flashed a glimpse of tawny skin at his neck. I noticed then, somehow never really seeing it before, a leather cord hanging from his neck and disappearing under his shirt. I was sure that was what carried the clover, but as my gaze traveled over him, I quickly forgot about it. The edges of the tattoo poked out of the collar of his shirt, and his sleeves were rolled up to the elbow, exposing powerful forearms. The dark trousers completed the outfit. It was effortless class.
When I dragged my gaze back to his, I realized I hadn’t been the only one doing the scrutinizing. He was staring at me in his intense, consuming way, and I stepped back from the door, suddenly feeling very . . . vulnerable. As if I was exposed in front of him.
Heat crept into my cheeks as I plastered my arms to my sides. “Sorry I . . . took so long. I was . . .” I trailed off as he continued to stare at me. “What?”
Ren stepped into the house, catching the door and closing it behind him. His presence filled the living room, and I could barely drag in enough air. “This is wrong,” he said, voice thick.
Surprised by the statement, I glanced down at myself. I <i>knew</i> I looked like a silly girl playing dress up. “It’s the only dress I could wear,” I said, feeling the weight of embarrassment settling on my shoulders.
He gave a little shake of his head as his bright green eyes met mine. “Oh, sweetness, you did wrong in all the right ways.”
I wasn’t following.
“How in the world am I going to pay attention when you look like that?” he chided softly, and my eyes widened. He moved forward, so close that I had to tip my chin up to meet his stare. He reached out, fingering the loose sleeve of my dress. “You are utterly distracting.”
“I am?”
A half smile appeared as his fingers skipped off the material and traced the line of my shoulder, sending a tight shiver down my spine. Then his finger wrapped around a curl, the back of his hand brushing the swell of my breast. He tugged it straight like he’d done before. “You are absolutely beautiful, Ivy.”

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>STONE COLD TOUCH Synopsis:</strong>
<strong>Every touch has its price</strong>
Layla Shaw is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life—no easy task for a seventeen-year-old who’s pretty sure things can’t get worse. Her impossibly gorgeous best friend, Zayne, is forever off-limits thanks to the mysterious powers of her soul-stealing kiss. The Warden clan that has always protected her is suddenly keeping dangerous secrets. And she can barely think about Roth, the wickedly hot demon prince who understood her in ways no one else could.
But sometimes rock bottom is only the beginning. Because suddenly Layla’s powers begin to evolve, and she’s offered a tantalizing taste of what has always been forbidden. Then, when she least expects it, Roth returns, bringing news that could change her world forever. She’s finally getting what she always wanted, but with hell literally breaking loose and the body count adding up, the price may be higher than Layla is willing to pay...</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>EXCERPT:</strong>
I’d remained in bed after that, trying to sort through the odd tingling in my chest. There was a slight smile on my lips, because Zayne…well, he’d made my day, but then I’d remember what Roth had said to me the night before and the smile would wash away as if it had never been there.
I probably needed to get used to the whiplash mood swings.
It wasn’t until after dinner that I decided to scrub a day’s worth of gunk off myself. Gingerly, I peeled the bandage off, happy to find that the cut in my arm was healing as expected. I didn’t need to cover it anymore. The arm was still tender, but the Warden blood in me was quickly undoing the damage from the iron.
After changing into fresh pj’s, like a total hermit, I padded over to my desk, where I’d left my cell phone. It had been on silent all day and when I tapped the screen, I wasn’t surprised to see a slew of texts from Stacey.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Where r u?</strong>
<strong>R u skipping, u ho?</strong> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> A minute later: <strong>Your locker misses u. Guess u sick with the herp?</strong> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Oh my God. I laughed out loud, grinning as I thumbed through her texts. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Our bio sub is still hot. U r missing this.</strong>
<strong>Bio is lonely.</strong>
<strong>My boobs miss u. How weird is that?</strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><br /></strong></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
That was notably weird and yet not surprising. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>If I get my cell taken from me, it’s ur fault.</strong>
<strong>Holy shit, Layla, where r u?!?</strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Air punched out of my lungs as I read the next text and the several following them. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><br /></strong></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>U have no idea who just walked into bio!!!</strong>
<strong>Roth is here!</strong> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Holy Canola oil, why aren’t u here to witness this?</strong> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><br /></strong></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Ok. He says he had mono. Srlsy? Do people still get mono? And who in the duck was he kissing? A second later—Duck? I didn’t mean duck. That’s SO not what I meant, autocorrect.</strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Another text had come in about fifteen minutes after the last one. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><br /></strong></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>He asked where u were. I told him u joined a cult. I laughed. He didn’t.</strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
Finally, the last text was to call her if I wasn’t dead.
“What in the Hell?” I tossed my cell onto the bed, mouth hanging open.</span>

<strong>STAY WITH ME TRAILER:</strong>
<strong>EXCERPT:</strong> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> As I lay there, trying to swallow a loud, obnoxious yawn, I remembered something he’d said when we first met, about life being too short. I imagined he had firsthand experience with shortened lives while he was serving. That mentality came from experience. I got that now. Could even understand it, but there was something I didn’t understand.
“Why?” I asked.
There was a beat. “Why what?”
Jax sounded tired, and I should shut up or point out that I was now tired and could sleep, so he could leave. But I didn’t. “Why are you here? You don’t know me and . . .” I trailed off, because there really wasn’t anything left to say.
A minute went by, and he hadn’t answered my question, and then I think another minute ticked on, and I was okay with him not answering because maybe he didn’t even know. Or maybe he was just bored and that was why he was here.
But then he moved.
Jax pressed against my back, and the next breath I took got stuck in my throat. My eyes shot open. The sheet and blanket were between us, but they felt like nothing.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“Getting comfortable.” He dropped an arm over my waist, and my entire body jerked against his. “It’s time to sleep I think.”
“But—”
“You can’t sleep when you talk,” he remarked.
“You don’t need to be all up on me,” I pointed out.
His answering chuckle stirred the hair along the back of my neck. “Honey, I’m not all up on you.”
I freaking begged to differ on that point. I started to wiggle away, but the arm around my waist tightened, holding me in place.
“You’re not going anywhere,” he announced casually, as if he wasn’t holding me prisoner in the bed.
Okay. The whole prisoner thing might be melodramatic, but he wasn’t letting me up. Not when he was getting all kinds of comfy behind me.
Oh my God, this was spooning. Total spooning. I was spooning with an honorary member of the Hot Guy Brigade. Did I wake up in a parallel universe?
“Sleep,” he demanded, as if the one word carried that much power. “Go to sleep, Calla.” This time his voice was softer, quieter.
“Yeah, it doesn’t work that way, Jax. You have a nice voice, but it doesn’t hold the power to make me sleep on your command.”
He chuckled.
I rolled my eyes, but the most ridiculous thing ever was the fact that after a couple of minutes, my eyes stayed shut. I . . . I actually settled in against him. With his front pressed to my back, his long legs cradling mine, and his arm snug around my waist, I actually did feel safe. More than that, I felt something else—something I hadn’t felt in years.
I felt cared for . . . <em>cherished.</em>
Which was the epitome of dumb, because I barely knew him, but feeling that, recognizing what the warm, buzzing feeling was, I fell right asleep.

<strong>STAY WITH ME Synopsis:</strong>
From the #1 <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Wait for You </em>and <em>Be with Me</em> comes a daring tale that pushes boundaries . . .
At 21, Calla hasn't done a lot of things. She’s never been kissed, never seen the ocean, never gone to an amusement park. But growing up, she witnessed some things no child ever should. She still carries the physical and emotional scars of living with a strung-out mother, Mona—secrets she keeps from everyone, including her close circle of college friends.
But the safe cocoon Calla has carefully built is shattered when she discovers her mom has stolen her college money and run up a huge credit card debt in her name. Now, Calla has to go back to the small town she thought she’d left behind and clean up her mom’s mess again. Of course, when she arrives at her mother’s bar, Mona is nowhere to be found. Instead, six feet of hotness named Jackson James is pouring drinks and keeping the place humming.
Sexy and intense, Jaxis in Calla’s business from the moment they meet, giving her a job and helping her search for Mona. And the way he looks at her makes it clear he wants to get horizontal . . . and maybe something more. Before Calla can let him get close, though, she’s got to deal with the pain of the past—and some very bad guys out to mess her up if she doesn't give them her mom.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I think I’ve never said this before,but I’m a huge HUGE fan
of nalini singh.Especially of her protective alpha males and strong minded
heroines.I was really excited to read about rock addiction as it was very
different from normal nalini books and I wondered whether it was going to be
just as great as all her other ones.And believe me;it was that and more.Another
hit by nalini singh!She has made me love her even more than I already do and
that is a VERY difficult task.I loved the fact that she allowed us access to
Fox’s mind as well as molly’s.It was interesting to say the least. The
chemistry between them was WOW.The only problem I had was that with as little
experience as Molly had,she went a little too easily with fox for my taste but I
loved that fox was chasing after molly and not the other way round.I was
getting tired of always reading books where the heroine is the one with the
crush and embarrasses herself after the hero.The book is divided intio two
parts,the first one where their relationship is a secret while the other one
shows their struggle in the limelight with media attention.I thought that was
really clever of Nalini as It provided a good contrast between the real world
and their private lives.I totally went Awww at the ending. The secondary
characters like Thea ,Charlotte and the other band members all seem great and I’m hoping they’ll all
have their own stories too.This was a
GREAT book and it was definitely worth the sleep I lost while reading it ;)</span></div>

of one of the best-selling rock bands in history by being a shrinking violet.
No, he went after what he wanted, no holds barred. And the raw promise he could
feel between him and Molly? He had to know where it would lead, the need so
strong he hadn’t felt anything like it since the day he’d figured out that
music was his escape, the air in his lungs.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: 110%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-highlight: white;">Which was why he was leaning against the
wall beside Molly’s apartment at five that afternoon, a guitar by his side.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: 110%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-highlight: white;">The elevator doors opened at a quarter
after the hour, Molly going motionless two steps outside of it, the doors
closing silently at her back. Yeah, she hadn’t expected him, but Fox was ready
to work with that. Waiting patiently as she took a deep breath and completed
the trek down the corridor, he drew in the scent of her, his gaze lingering on
the fluttering pulse in her neck.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: 110%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-highlight: white;"> “How did you get past security?”</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: 110%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-highlight: white;">Fox smiled slowly at the blurted-out
question, wondering if Molly knew how bad she was at hiding her emotions. He
liked it, liked that he saw the real Molly, not an illusion she’d created to
tempt him—not that she had to do anything but smile to tempt him. “I told you
the security sucks.”</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: 110%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-highlight: white;">Unable to resist, he reached out to run
his finger down one creamy cheek flushed with a mix of surprise, passion, and,
he was certain, sweet, hot feminine anger. His guess was borne out when Molly
unlocked her door with jittery hands and put down her handbag on one corner of
the bench, her fingers trembling before she curled them into her palms. “You’re
breaking the rules.”</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: 110%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-highlight: white;">“What rules?” Closing the door, he leaned
back on it and willed her to face him. Much as he loved the shape of her from
the back, he liked watching those expressive eyes whisper her mood to him.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: 110%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-highlight: white;">Shoulders tight, she turned. “This was
supposed to be a one-night stand.”</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: 110%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-highlight: white;">“Ah.” Folding his arms over the plain
black of his T-shirt, he said, “How about a one-month stand instead?” He knew
he had to play this exactly right. Molly was wary of him, and yeah, he could
understand why. To have her in his life beyond a fleeting instant, he’d have to
win her trust.</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: 110%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-highlight: white;">She jerked up her head. “What?”</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: 110%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-highlight: white;">“Why not? I like you. You like me.” He
smiled—because the reason Molly had needed to jerk up her head was that she’d
been staring at his chest. “Admit it.”</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: 110%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-highlight: white;">Sitting down on the bench, she began to
unzip her boots, very obviously <i>not </i>looking
at him. “You’re okay for a rock star.”</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: 110%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-highlight: white;">He wanted to bite her, then pet her until
she was limp and languid in his arms. “We burn up together.” Deliberately
modulating his voice—his instrument—for maximum effect, low and bedroom rough,
he saw her fingers stutter on the zipper. “I’m here for a month. It’s an easy
equation.”</span></div>
<div class="normal" style="line-height: 110%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-highlight: white;">When the words “Let me think about it”
fell from her mouth, he thought she might’ve been as startled as he was, her
lips parting on a slight gasp—as if to call back the declaration.</span></div>

<strong>WICKED Synopsis:</strong><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">
Things are about to get <em>Wicked</em> in New Orleans.
Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost <em>everything</em> at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart.
Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has shaped for her.
But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul.

buzzing around him like flies. Even if his sexy smile ties her up in knots. <br />
<br />
What she doesn’t know is that David is a one-woman man...and he’s madly in love
with her. David’s determined to prove he’s worth the risk, and willing to court
her, step by exquisite step. Thea’s about to discover just how long and hard
this handsome drummer can play.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

After an ugly scandal tore apart her childhood and made her the focus of the media’s harsh spotlight, she vowed to live an ordinary life. No fame. No impropriety. No pain. Then she meets Zachary Fox, a tattooed bad boy rocker with a voice like whiskey and sin, and a touch that could become an addiction. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">A one-night stand with the hottest rock star on the planet, that’s all it was meant to be…</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px;">Fox promises scorching heat and dangerous pleasure, coaxing Molly to extend their one-night stand into a one-month fling. After that, he’ll be gone forever, his life never again intersecting with her own. Sex and sin and sensual indulgence, all with an expiration date. No ties, no regrets. Too late, Molly realizes it isn’t only her body that’s become addicted to Fox, but her heart…</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>REVIEW:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I LOVED it!!It was even better than the first one and had a lot of depth too.It was really surprising and those of you who are curious about King;which means a LOT of people,this book will answer all your questions and will totally blow you away.This book made me fall in love with King all over again <3.Although I didn't really like Mia in the end and how she was behaving,King more than made up for it.A character I absolutely hated was Justin,I felt he was so selfish!He didn't think about Mia while Mia did everything to save him and get him out of trouble.I can't wait to read the last book.It is going to be amazing if its anything like this one.I so recommend this book to anyone who likes their books with mystery,paranormal and a splash of romance.</span><br />

<strong><em>Book Description:</em></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since becoming the alpha female of the Dog Mountain pack, Jade certainly has had her share of challenges. She’s had to prove herself to a bunch of werewolves that she spent years hating; forgive her mate who’d done nothing but lie to her, and face the grueling fact that her father leads a pack of werecougars, who are responsible for tormenting her werewolves for many years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the upside, the Dog Mountain pack is finally coming together—now that Jade and Aidan’s mate status is official. And now that they know where her father’s been hiding his nasty pack of beasts, Jade and Aidan can concentrate on stopping them once and for all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But when Jade’s dad finds out that she’s become Aidan’s official mate, all hell breaks loose, and Jade and Aidan soon learn that his plans for their werewolves are bigger than anyone could have ever suspected.</div>
