I could picture a fairy tale scene after Einar's fight as Eira and Harek were walking back to Mirendel and the changes they were sharing. But we all kI could picture a fairy tale scene after Einar's fight as Eira and Harek were walking back to Mirendel and the changes they were sharing. But we all know that this is not a fairy tale book, the words, scenery, characters and what they face is anything but a fairytale. I really enjoyed reading more about them as getting to know Lys more, although still can't decide if I like him or his mother very much or at all. My favorite characters not human has to be Vash and Sapphire, the connection they share with their humans is awesome! And the last chapter........oh my!!!!...more
Such a good story with awesome characters - little mystery - great friendships - some trouble and much more. While I hate to see Danger in Destiny comSuch a good story with awesome characters - little mystery - great friendships - some trouble and much more. While I hate to see Danger in Destiny come to an end with Clint and Leslie, bringing us full circle, this book was a good choice for closure. And I can go back and read them again and again. ...more

They Little bit of... adrenaline, adventure, the unknown and trust. Cole and Regan are awesome together both professionally and later on, personally. They complement each other after learning more about the other - especially the more time they spend together. Not normally a $$$$ genre reader, but these characters are so down to earth. ...more
Oink You can't help but like, really like and or love these characters, even Catherine I don't dislike as much, even though I really expected them to Oink You can't help but like, really like and or love these characters, even Catherine I don't dislike as much, even though I really expected them to not answer or hang up on the Christmas Day call. I'm not a fan of $$$$ stories/people, but Anna got and kept my attention with how she handled money in her life and the way she treated people, especially Brittany - when learning what she was truly doing. Everyone needs a hangout like Blackwater Automotive - a safe place to be yourself with friends and relax! Each of the characters bring a uniqueness to these stories - Beau and his ROCK SOLID, Olivia who loves everyone, especially Dawson, Hadley, Gage, Everly, Blake, Lyric, Asa, Travis, and Bella brings "family" to the group. Looking forward to Lauren's story. ...more
If it was only that easy for Billa and Kenzi. Memories and events - reliving those brings more confusion, fears and the unknown to those living on BraIf it was only that easy for Billa and Kenzi. Memories and events - reliving those brings more confusion, fears and the unknown to those living on Brannon Mansion property. Each family member along with Luke are trying their hardest to help solve the mysteries of Kenzie and Billa's past while staying at Radley under the "care" of Dr. Staven and others. Remembering how Laurel was part of their pasts, brings more fear, than add on the memory dust that was used, which is causing issues even today. Is Laurel going to end her own life, does she know even more? After her journal entry - so many questions floating in my mind - the next book can't come soon enough! ...more

I love the no-nonseThis is a down-to-earth story with heartache, mistakes, trust issues as well as forgiveness, growth, honesty, friendship and love. I love the no-nonsense of Don and Gita, not to mention the examples they show to those they meet. The communication (finally) not only between Grace and Travor, but the heart to heart between Stacy and Grace is important, they don't judge as some thought they could/would....more
Great read I really enjoyed getting to know Rory and Curtis, their backgrounds and his family. Surviving the Storm can have more than 1 meaning - stormGreat read I really enjoyed getting to know Rory and Curtis, their backgrounds and his family. Surviving the Storm can have more than 1 meaning - storms, rain, thunder (yuck), lightening. Also a more personal storm - fear, some anxiety, someone after you, health and more. The care of people and caring for them was a great characteristic of both Rory, Curtis and Officer Baker, as well as Kess. I loved how those who were there at the end protected Braden while in the cabin, in more ways than 1!...more

Some who stand with you, some stand up for you, fight, forgive, love unconditionally, an some just don't, especially when $$$ is involved and rememberSome who stand with you, some stand up for you, fight, forgive, love unconditionally, an some just don't, especially when $$$ is involved and remember blood doesn't have to be shared to be family! I'm at a loss with the Virginia congregation, my church people have faults just like me, but in my 60+ years, never have I seen the money over people like this church during this time. Which makes me want to be more like Ada each day. Such human feelings, doubts, faith, and love will guide her through their new marriage and support Cash and his strengths....more
How do you have a feel-good story that has bad things happening to a main character? That's what the author accomplished with Rachel and her son Jake'How do you have a feel-good story that has bad things happening to a main character? That's what the author accomplished with Rachel and her son Jake's story. What they went through, yet still be brave, loving, great examples, & friends to those around them. Add Nick and his daughter Bailey who have their own pasts and yet still so down to earth, especially with all the $$$ they have. I love how each parent puts their child first, but not to the point of spoiling them in ways you'd think. While I knew Nick would do anything to protect Rachel, I was surprised with what happened to Greg - very glad - but still some surprise....more
Gets Better To me the first few chapters were repetitive, especially concerning Gunnar and Eira's father who we come to know as Einar. I'm glad I contGets Better To me the first few chapters were repetitive, especially concerning Gunnar and Eira's father who we come to know as Einar. I'm glad I continued with the story as it got better once Eira, and her best friend Harek were on their journey. We learned more about the fae, more about Eira's mother Tyra and even things about Harek himself, his parents and things they knew that no one else in the village did. I had 2nd, 3rd and 4th thoughts on Vivvi and her agenda and am looking forward to the part she plays in the future. As well as what comes next for Eira, Einar, and Harek, not to mention Eira's siblings still loving at home, especially her sisters! ...more

This includes Cooper, a famous outsider who is welcomed into this family circle. The things/life events shared between him and Priscilla go deep - yet they listen to each other, while faith grows between them while still facing/fighting each of their pasts and trust issues. If you work through them with the right help - you can do anything, be the best you and give of yourself....more

Not the usual boy-girl meet, have feelings, finally communicate, someone finds/hears a secret, now back to square 1 as communication gone. Friend talks sense into them, they go find their true love and all is well. Henry and Lydia's story is so much more. I admit I had to ask Alexa what a Bluestocking was/is. I didn't know they had a named group. Coming together with the help of Lord Kendall and Sophie brought new and old event to light. Confessions are a good thing......well for most people....more

The friendship, feelings, care, concern ad love Travis and Bella go through and share in a fairly short amount of time, touch on SO many emotions. The people of BlackWater are amazing, willing to help, give, forgive, pray and so much more to anyone - Anna, Gage, Camille, Tammy, Matt and so very different from those people like Gunner and Switch. I am looking forward to Anna's story!...more

Following KenzieEver had a series you we're reading and was counting down the days until the next one came out? This is that series for me right now. Following Kenzie, Ember, Graham, and Luke in present day adventures with some twists and turns - compliments of older days with Millie, Marshall, Perry, and Nurse Nelly and the parts they played, keeps you turning page after page. Add in police work, teenager thoughts, pregnancy, sleepwalking (then and now) and more adds to the depth of this story. You really need to grab your copy of Sleepwalker, better yet, start with The Perfect Death book 1 and meet more the Brannon Family legends!...more
