Hello everyone, I have a perfect read for Halloween to share with you.
The Curse Defiers by Denise Grover Swank
When a lost colony reappears a month and a half ago it can only mean one thing, a four-hundred-year-old curse has been broken. With the curse broken the gate to hell is cracked, giving evil the means of escape.
Elinor Dare Lancaster is one of two Curse Keepers, a responsibility passed down from generation to generation. As if being a Curse Keeper was not enough to handle, Ellie is also the witness of creation.
Collin Dailey, the other Curse Keeper is linked to Ellie. He has proven to not be entirely trustworthy in the past and he is reluctant to share what he knows.
Ellie is linked to Collin but her heart be longs to her boyfriend.
David Preston is a college professor whose specialty is North American studies. He helps her find information, piece it together and then try to come up with a plan to keep her and the rest of humanity safe.
One evening while walking home from work a demon in the form of an elderly woman approached her. When Ellie asked the woman what she wanted the woman replied, I am here to tell your future.
As Ellie was in a hurry to tell David what happened he had some information of his own to share.
David's ex girlfriend Allison who is also a history professor is an expert on old weaponry, was invited to examine a collection. Allison informs him that she believes she has something that he will want to see.
Just as Ellie was packing to leave town she receives a call from Tom Helmsworth, a police officer insisting that she meet him at the police station to talk. Officer Helmsworth informed her that people with non serious illnesses were coming up dead. After a second patient had died an autopsy was performed and shockingly there was no heart.
Tom had called her in having his own suspicions of supernatural involvement. After reassuring him that this is the first time of hearing of the incidents He told her to find out what was doing this and to take care of it.
Will Ellie be the salvation or the destruction of the world?
I really enjoyed this book! The story is original with twists and turns, mystery and action. This book held my interest keeping me up late in the evening, turning page after page!
HAPPY READING!!!

Sanctuary By Eden Bradley
Hey everyone, the book I have to share with you is for ADULTS ONLY.
Sanctuary by Eden Bradley
Devin Delaney let her friend Kimmie talk her into going to Club X on fetish night. Every Friday the wicked and kinky would enter the Ring if they wanted to be shown the S&M treatment.
Devin a graphic designer, who always felt she had to be in control was surprised how seeing the two women being flogged awakened desires in her she never knew she had.
Not only did the act itself excite her but the thought of being flogged by a certain professional Dom named Shaye Vincent brought a rush of need to her as well.
Shaye Vincent an owner of a consulting firm also worked at Club X for fun. His father's haunting words remained in his head, when you need someone you lose control of your life. These words and his past have kept him from being in a relationship.
Devin could not bring herself to give into temptation the first time she was at Club X but after no longer being able to clear her mind of the fantasy images of Shaye having control over her she walked into Club X and entered the Ring.
Upon her entering the Ring it awakened more than just desires between the two of them.
I LOVED this book! In the past I have not been able to read too many books of this nature. Most books of this type just feel forced and do not flow together. However, Ms. Bradley is a rare exception. Her book drew me in at the start and by the end I wanted a sequel! It was the perfect combination of chemistry, kinkiness and sweetness. I will be adding her to my must read author list!

Handpicked By Dani Oden
Hey everyone I have a college suspense read to share with you today.
Handpicked by Dani Oden
Jill Holloway was not too enthused about the idea of joining a sorority. However, her best friend Lindy was to be third generation Greek and had talked Jill into rushing.
Jill was not too impressed with the previous preference events she attended but the last one, Iota Beta won her over. Upon leaving the Iota Beta house she notices guys lined up on the sidewalk the one frat guy who catches her eye took notice of her too and he handed her a rose.
Soon after, Jill was ecstatic to find out she had been accepted by Iota Beta. Lindy who was also accepted by Iota Beta did not share her friends enthusiasm.
Soon the two best friends stumble upon a fellow sister named Hannah and become fast friends.
Things quickly go from fun and dressy to unknown and mysterious. The sorority sisters gathered into a limo and were taken to a winery where a trick was played before the party officially kicked off.
While partying one of the girls had an accident and was taken away. She was never seen again after that night.
As things start to unravel the three quickly suspect that the sorority may be hiding more than just the average sorority secrets.
I liked how this story was suspenseful and kept me wanting to find out the truth right along with them.

The Fault In Our Stars By John Green
Hey everyone, I have decided to read a book from my personal T.B.R. pile. I know MOST everyone has read the book I have to share with you today. With that being said, I saw the film so I had to read the film to know the thoughts running through the characters heads. Normally, I read the books before watching the film adaption but not this time.
The Fault In Our Stars by John Green
Hazel Grace Lancaster's parents feel she is depressed so they insist she attend a support group for children and teens living with cancer. The day she puts up her best efforts to try to get out of going changes her life forever.
Hazel was diagnosed at the age of thirteen with cancer. Now, at the age of sixteen she has become a realist. When she first sees Augustus Waters she finds him attractive. However, she is intrigued by his words as he shares his story.
Augustus Waters lost his leg to cancer and uses a prosthetic but he did not lose his spirit in the process.
Augustus catches Hazel off guard when he compliments her and asks her to come over to his place to watch a film. He manages to convince her and not scare her away with his driving skills or lack there of.
The two connect over her favorite book An Imperial Affliction but the book ends abruptly leaving the reader with many unanswered questions. Augustus is determined to do whatever he can to get Hazel the answers she seeks. Even, if it means the two traveling to Amsterdam to get them.
Life is a gift that can be taken at any moment. Make every moment count. In the end we all will be someones memory.
I LOVED this book! I was pleasantly surprised at how close the film adaption is to the book! Of course there were a few differences off and on. However, I have not seen a film adaption so closely in-sync with the book in a VERY long time. WARNING read with a box of tissues near by. These kind of books do not normally make tears stream down but this book squeezed my heart and touched my soul.

After a not so easy venture she made it backstage. However, when she learned what a jerk he was she decided to teach him an unforgettable lesson, never expecting to see him again.
Riley woke up the next morning with a hangover and an email from her boss informing her of an assignment, tour accountant for a band. While going over the paperwork the only clue as to the name of the band is HC.
The first day on the job she asked for bills and receipts and was advised to wait for Jax. When Riley and Jax recognized each other from that Saturday at the Wallabee they were both shocked.

Her Winning Formula By Shannyn Schroeder
Hey everyone, the book I have to share with you today is the final novella in the trilogy. This novella can be read as a stand alone but if you have not read the previous novellas, Her Best Shot and Her Perfect Game I highly recommend you doing so. I wrote a review for Her Best Shot, the first novella in the trilogy on July 21, 2014 said to be released September 29, 2014. The second novella is Her Perfect Game, I wrote the review on August 30, 2014, said to be released October 27, 2014.
Her Winning Formula by Shannyn Schroeder
Three best friends were supposed to enjoy a final spring break vacation before they each divided and conquered their individual paths in adulthood. However, their plans did not work out, leaving Felicity Stone to her own devices.
Felicity is a chemistry major who has a formula worked out for her life, graduate Harvard and work at her fathers lab creating her own fragrance. However, when it comes to meeting people she is not a social butterfly.
While waiting on a plane to get to South Padre Island, Texas. She unexpectedly meets Lucas Tanner, who informs her not to leave her bag unattended, as he cannot be late arriving to his destination.
Lucas Tanner is an attractive special education teacher and baseball coach, who has a fear of planes during take off and landing. Lucky for him Felicity is sitting next to him. Felicity is not much of a conversationalist except with her two best friends, but with Lucas she finds it enjoyably easy.
When Lucas learns that Felicity's plans of meeting up with her friends did not work out he asks her to be his fake date to his brothers wedding to avoid his ex who happens to be the maid of honor from trying to reconcile.
Sometimes, the best times are not planned.
I LOVED THIS NOVELLA AND THIS TRILOGY!!! This novella was an enjoyable page turner! It has the feel of a favorite feel good film that you could watch over and over and not get tired of. I could read this trilogy several times more! Do NOT miss out on this trilogy and/or this novella!
