Coveted (The Gaia Chronicles #2) by Grace White

Coveted is Book 2 in the Gaia Chronicles by Grace White

Summary:
Terra Materson knew moving to Atchison College would take some getting used to. But she didn’t expect to discover she had the spirit of an ancient goddess inside her. 

It’s a lot to process. Not to mention the four overprotective guys who have made it their mission to take Terra under their wing. But as her connection to Ross, Cael, Endo, and Sol intensifies, so too does her need for the truth.

Her protectors want to keep her safe. The witches need her power. And her new friends just want her to live a little. But as her hidden memories slowly return, Terra is left questioning who she can trust. Because with magic in the air, anyone could be an enemy and nothing may be as it seems...


** This is a Reverse Harem Story. **


Review
Coveted is the excellent edition to a very promising series! I love this series so far, and while it is clear that witchcraft is not something that Ms. Grace knows much about, she is able to write a pretty good book skimming the edges of the lifestyle.

Relationship Aspect
Ross is still my favorite! I believe that the relationship is progressing at a good rate, even though I want to drop kick Sol sometimes.

I would rate this an Infatuation – You would read this story every chance you could.
Rated:4/5 Stars

Runes By Ednah Walters

Runes is about a Seventeen-year-old girl named Raine Cooper who is still recovering from losing her father in a plane crash. Raine is your average high school swim team teenager that likes to hang out with friends and have fun. Raine is also in-love with her childhood friend Erik who quietly feels the same. 

Raine's normal life comes to end when she meets Torin St. James - the mysterious new neighbor with a wickedly handsome smile and arrogant manner that makes her want to slap him.

Runes is a perfect blend of Norse Mythology, Magic, High School Drama, Death, and Possibilities. I thoroughly enjoyed this series and would highly recommend it to anyone who loves paranormal romances. 

Runes is the first book in a series of 7 full length novels. This series is completem so no waiting between books. 

I rate this book: Obsession - Once you start you can’t stop. I recommend setting an alarm to let you know when to put it down

Rated: 5/5 Stars

Existence By Abbi Glines

Existence is about a young girl named Pagan Moore who can see ghosts. Pagan could see ghost's for as far back as she could remember, and she learned quickly to never let on that she could see them. Normal people would think that she was crazy and the ghost would never leave her alone if they knew she could see them.

Seeing ghosts was Pagan's normal, however that changes when meets a ghost unlike any she had ever seen before. This ghost was special, he was as handsome as he was different. 

Pagan soon learns that the world she lives in is not as black and white as she had once believed, especially since he seems to be more than just a ghost.

This was an extremely easy world to get "pulled" into and stay in. I have read this one and book 2 and 3 in 3 days; one book a day. For me, this story held a nice blend of high school drama and supernatural intrigue. 

I fully enjoyed this series and I have re-read it multiple times, both in print and audio versions. This series has found itself on my top ten list!

I rated this book: Obsession - Once you start you can’t stop. I recommend setting an alarm to let you know when to put it down

Insatiable Darkness (Vigilant) by L.M. Preston

Insatiable Darkness is a short novel and can be read easily in a single sitting. The story is about Emvee a teenage girl who was forced to move to a new town because of her parents work. She soon learns -by eavesdropping on a conversation between her parents, that the reason for their move was not as clear-cut as she had first believed. This knowledge has led to a "need" in Emvee to know what is truly going on. It didn't take her long to realize that she may have bitten off more than she could chew.

*** Insatiable Darkness is the prequel to a new series that has yet to be published. ***

Forewarning, my review will be heavily based on storyline and plot, I will not ever mention grammar or spelling issues unless it is so bad that it distracts me from the overall tale.


What I liked about the story:
This is an interesting start to a promising series. I can't wait to learn more about Emvee and her coming trials. I have personally read many stories that take mythology and bend it to be used in many different ways, but I can honestly say that Insatiable Darkness bends mythology in a way I have not yet read. She had perfectly blended the idea of science and magic together so well that the idea was believable (if magic ever existed I could totally believe this could happen!) Emvee is a strong kiss-ass heroine that does not fall apart in the face of danger, she kicks it in the gonads!


Things that I believe could have made the story better:
The beginning of the story did not seamlessly bring me into it, it took the first chapter and some of the second before I could comfortably say I was all in. Once I was able to connect with the story I was sufficiently 'pulled in'. Though I do wish Ms. Preston could have expounded more on what a Soul Trainer is and what its purpose was.


The book did its job as a prequel and has left me wanting to know more about Emvee, her friends, and the dangers she will no doubt come to face.


I rate this light reading... You can finish this part within a few hours.
Rating: 4/5 Stars

Dark Fever by Karen Marie Moning Book Review

Dark Fever was one of the best books I have ever read! I was pulled into the story from the first chapter. Ms. Moning is an exceptional authoress in my opinion and I have personally read every single book she has written. Dark Fever is the first book in an ongoing series.

MacKayla, Mac for short starts of as your everyday young southern woman. She’s a bit ditzy and naive but has the potential to be so much more. This series is an action-packed thrill ride that just won’t quit (thanks Ms. Moning).

Jericho Barrons is the Ultimate Alpha male. He likes things done his way and will do whatever he needs to ensure that it stays that way.

The world that Ms. Moning created for her reader’s enjoyment is one that more than meets expectation, in my opinion. By the end of the book, I felt like I really knew Mac and what made her tick, I laughed with her, cried with her, and when it called for it I raged with her. Only, I had not felt the need to hide how Jericho was totally *pant* worthy!

If you are one of the few that have yet to read this series I completely recommend that you do. You won’t be sorry! 

I rate this book as: Obsession - Once you start you can’t stop. I recommend setting an alarm to let you know when to put it down

Touch the Dark by Karen Chance Book Review

Touch the Dark is the first installment of the Cassandra Palmer Series. This author has managed to maintain the Top 5 of my favorite author's list since 2006. I don’t know about you, but I love a good supernatural story with a bit of action adventure with a side of romance. This series has all of that and more.

Cassie, as she is known to her friends is a clairvoyant and she can also communicate with spirits. She was raised in a vampire’s household until she ran away. It is non-stop fun, action, and a bit of angst. Warning: Cassie is known to be a bit sarcastic, hopeless, and a wee bit ditzy.

This book can boast vampire politics, time travel, the Fae, shapeshifters, mages, and ghosts. This series is a one spot stop for all your supernatural creatures needs.

I bow down to the creative mind of Karen Chance and wait impatiently for her next Cassie Palmer release. Reap the Wind is due for release on November 4^th 2014.

I rate this book as: Obsession - Once you start you can’t stop. I recommend setting an alarm to let you know when to put it down
