Finale (Hush, Hush, #4)Finale (Hush, Hush #4) 

  Will love conquer all?

Nora and Patch thought their troubles were behind them. Hank is gone and they should be able to put his ugly vendetta to rest. But in Hank's absence, Nora has become the unwitting head of the Nephilim and must finish what Hank began. Which ultimately means destroying the fallen angels - destroying Patch.

Nora will never let that happen, so she and Patch make a plan: lead everyone to believe they have broken up, and work the system from the inside. Nora will convince the Nephilim that they are making a mistake in fighting the fallen angels, and Patch will find out everything he can from the opposing side. They will end this war before it can even begin.

But the best-laid plans often go awry. Nora is put through the paces in her new role and finds herself drawn to an addictive power she never anticipated.

As the battle lines are drawn, Nora and Patch must confront the differences that have always been between them and either choose to ignore them or let them destroy the love they have always fought for.

 

 

Aiden POV – The Brew by J. Armentrout

 
The Brew
My face hurt from keeping up appearances and smiling through conversations I didn’t give a
damn about and introductions to other pure-
 bloods I’d already forgotten.
This was the last place I wantedto be, but if I ran off too soon, people
important, powerful people would start to ask questions.
A member of the Council said something, and I nodded, having no idea what he’d said. All Icould think about was Alex… on the
Brew and left alone with Seth. I
didn’t trust any man with two eye
sto do right in that
situation. Alex would be…. I couldn’t finish the thought.
I wasn’t sure I could even trust
myself in a situation like that.But Seth had sworn that he would look after her.....

Deity (Covenant #3)

Deity (Covenant, #3)"History is on repeat, and things didn't go so well the last time. "


Alexandria isn't sure she's going to make it to her eighteenth birthday--to her Awakening. A long-forgotten, fanatical order is out to kill her, and if the Council ever discovers what she did in the Catskills, she's a goner... and so is Aiden.

If that's not freaky enough, whenever Alex and Seth spend time "training"--which really is just Seth's code word for some up-close and personal one-on-one time--she ends up with another mark of the Apollyon, which brings her one step closer to Awakening ahead of schedule. Awesome.

But as her birthday draws near, her entire world shatters with a startling revelation and she's caught between love and Fate. One will do anything to protect her. One has been lying to her since the beginning. Once the gods have revealed themselves, unleashing their wrath, lives will be irrevocably changed... and destroyed.

Those left standing will discover if love is truly greater than Fate..."


  Like the previous books on this series this one was absolutely engaging, sexy and utterly romantic.
Alex has grown up a bit, we get to see glimpses of her true reckless self but that's not all. We get to see a totally different side of Aiden and Seth, we see the plot taking shape and I am already dreading the approaching end of this series.
I could constantly read these books and never get tired of them. Aiden is blissfully perfect and him being so approachable takes the whole story to epic dimensions. I'll stop now cause I don't want to be spoilerish but GODS!!!!!! Valentines day is never ever going to be the same for me ;)

House Rules – First Chapter

It was like a scene from a divorce: belongings divided into piles; books labeled with one owner’s name or the other; and everyone emotionally exhausted. But in this case, there was no breakup. Not of the human variety, anyway. This was more of a secession. A declaration of independence.
It was a rebellion, and the golden-haired vampire next to me was leading the charge. Ethan Sullivan, the unofficial co-Master of Chicago’s Cadogan House, and my boyfriend.
That was still a strange thing to say.
Ethan, looking exceptionally handsome in black pants, a button-down, and a black tie, examined a slim, leather-bound book.
“This one belongs to the GP,” he said, glancing at the spine. “The Metamorphosis of Man,” he read. “From Opposable Thumbs to Descending Fangs.”
“That’s an awful title,” I said.
“It’s their awful title now.” Ethan’s words were humorous, but the tone in his voice wasn’t. The entire House was nervous, the building fogged with magical tension as we waited for the final countdown: Seventy-two hours remained until our official split from the Greenwich Presidium, the European council that ruled American vampire Houses, and the pendulum swung over our heads like Damocles’ sword. The GP’s members were traveling to Chicago for the sole purpose of formally expelling the House—of breaking up with us in public.

Cursed

Cursed

ying sucks-- and high school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand. After a fatal car accident, her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember touches dies. And that, well, really blows.

Ember operates on a no-touch policy with all living things--including boys. When Hayden Cromwell shows up, quoting Oscar Wilde and claiming her curse is a gift, she thinks he's a crazed cutie. But when he tells her he can help control it, she's more than interested. There's just one catch: Ember has to trust Hayden's adopted father, a man she's sure has sinister reasons for collecting children whose abilities even weird her out.

However, she's willing to do anything to hold her sister's hand again. And hell, she'd also like to be able to kiss Hayden. Who wouldn't? But when Ember learns the accident that turned her into a freak may not have been an accident at all, she's not sure who to trust. Someone wanted her dead, and the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she is to losing not only her heart, but her life. For real this time.

The Navy Seal's Promise review

The Navy Seal's Promise
With only 48 hours back on home soil for Christmas, United States Army Corporal Saskia Cullen is desperate to spend every minute with her young son. So when heavy snowfall closes JFK airport and she misses her connecting flight, she’s devastated. Until Navy SEAL Luke Gray offers to keep her company… and then personally finds a way to get her home.

Luke is back in the US on leave, waiting to hear the details of his next mission, and Saskia proves to be a pleasant distraction. And when he hears that she needs to get home to see her son, he’s prepared to do anything to help the sexy single mom. Trouble is, he hadn’t planned on falling for anyone, let alone a beautiful soldier about to return overseas.




 Short and utterly romantic. Luke was yummy, the characters were very natural and straightforward, they both had a past. I got all emotional with some bits, especially the ones related to her son....being a mom myself makes me weep when I read about sad little boys.

The Casual Vacancy Review

The Casual Vacancy by J.K. RowlingIt was hard at the beginning, too many names, backgrounds, relationship but after a while I became more immersed in their lives and started having my heart ripped to pieces. Robbie broke my heart all through the story, I am well aware that these things are real, they happen every single day and the only thing that prevents us from witnessing is that we don't have a "Fields" nearby. The ending was like a low blow...I couldn't actually read because my eyes were clouded and  my heart was with those two, who never ever had a sense of normalcy but had each other.
