REVIEW: The Haunting Season by Michelle Muto

The Haunting Season by Michelle Muto is one heck of a scary story. I used to be a very big horror reader back in the day 😉 but I’m a total chicken these days, so I don’t normally pick them up. But this description caught my eye and the cover is gorgeous, and when I read the sample I knew immediately that it was well-written. This story begins with the character Jess. Jess is sort of a mess when we start – you see she sees dead people. Or not. Well, Jess used to see dead people, but for some reason, she can’t anymore. She’s been offered a chance to participate in a paranormal study at an old Savannah mansion called Siler House, and she jumps at the chance, hoping it will bring back her previous ghost-seeing skills and she can get some closure. Which sounds weird, except Jess’ father… Read more »

Stacking the Shelves #3

This is my third week of Stacking the Shelves, which is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews. Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks! This is a really great way to find new books and bloggers to watch and I can see myself doing this meme regularly…at least the weeks where I get new books. If that turns out to be every week I might not have time to do anything BUT read! This is TWO WEEKS worth of books because I didn’t do a post last week. OK, here’s what I got: Both VAIN (TOUR stops here January 10!!!! YAY! – I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!) and… Read more »

REVIEWS: Lux Series by Jennifer Armentrout

What a great premise! I am a SF lover – JUNKIE, in fact, and I’m pretty much on board with trying out any book that has aliens in it. I loved Obsidian. Like a lot. I loved all the things you see being lauded about this book – Katy, the main character. How she has a book blog, her tragic past regarding her father, and her spunky, yet originally subdued, attitude. Katy is a well-developed and likable character. Next, I loved Daemon! Who doesn’t, right? He had all the bad boy attributes – cocky nature, full of himself, thinks he’s God’s gift to women, stuck-up, rude, and tough. Oh, and did I mention, gorgeous? Yes, he’s gorgeous. Daemon has a sister—-what’s her face? Oh, yeah Dee. That should tell you how much I cared about Dee. I didn’t, not even in the third book where I got the idea she… Read more »
