• Faelorehn - A Young Adult Dark Fae Romance Novel on July 08, 2012
  
  I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. The title of this book as well as the cover is what initially sparked my interest. I am a big fan of paranormal books. "Faelorehn"is unlike anything I have ever read however. And that is a good thing. Of course, I love my vampire and werewolf books but it was refreshing to read a book that was original. It was obvious that author Jenna Elizabeth Johnson did her research before writing this book. "Faelorehn" deals with Celt mythology, among other things, and I only know a little about it but everything in this book matched what I knew. Again, its refreshing to know that an author isn't going to throw a book together without learning some background information on their topic. I liked the characters of this book as well. Meghan, the outcast, with her unsettling eyes that tend to disturb people. Also, people think she is crazy because she sees and hears things that noone else does. Of course, we know the most about Meghan but that is because she is the main character...it generally tends to happen that way. I think Johnson gave us just enough information about Meghan's friends without shifting the focus to them too much. As for Meghan's love interest Cade, he was a mystery. But I think Johnson meant it to be this way for now, leaving us looking for answers that we will find in the next installments of "The Otherworld Trilogy". Any good author would do that if he/she was planning to write a series. All questions can't be answered in the first book, nor can all problems be solved. I think Jenna Johnson did a good job with her first novel in her trilogy. I look forward to Meghan's journey and learning the answers to all the book's mysteries.

• What Kills Me on Aug. 10, 2012
  
  I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I will give this book 4 STARS! I really liked this book and I will read more of Wynne Channing’s work. I read this book extremely fast. It was a quick read, but I thought it was a good read. I think it would be cool if she had a sequel (or epilogue type short story) to “What Kills Me” so that we could see what happens in the next chapter of Zee’s life. I would recommend this book to anyone whom enjoys Young Adult, Paranormal Romance. Zee is a very untraditional vampire and that scares the rest of the vampire empire. All vampires have a creator, except Zee. When she fell in to a well of Ancient Vampire blood, she emerged a vampire. A long ago prophecy predicted Zee’s arrival, but also said that Zee would be the destroyer of the entire vampire race. Zee knows she is really strong but she doesn’t feel like a danger to anyone. The vampire empire can’t take that risk so Zee has been ordered to die. Could the prophecy possibly be true? Can Zee survive when the entire vampire race wants her dead? Find out in “What Kills Me” by Wynne Channing! I loved the characters and everything they did. I found myself laughing out loud a few times with things that Axelia (Zee) would do. I mean come on! A super strong vampire screaming out of fear of bugs? That’s funny! Zee didn’t really consider herself a dangerous vampire though, she thought of herself the same way she always did. She was just a shy 17 year old girl that preferred playing scrabble with her parents than partying with kids her age. One trait she definitely held onto through her transition into a vampire was her motor-mouth. Whenever Zee got nervous she would talk so much and just ramble on and on. I liked the relationship between Zee and Lucas. It was clear in the beginning Lucas couldn’t stand Zee, and Zee thought Lucas was a jerk. With everything that they experienced together though, they developed a strong bond. They began caring for each other. I found myself routing for their love, wanting them to kiss, wanting someone to confess their feelings for the other! I couldn’t help but smile whenever I saw progress in their relationship. Lucas was always so serious, so whenever he would crack a smile, I found myself smiling too. Overall, I think that this was a fun and exciting read. The only downside was that it was pretty short. BUT! That is only because I liked it so much I didn’t want it to end, though I wanted to see what happened next. I also thought that the cover was really beautiful – this book was just the total package! I think that everyone should go out and read “What Kills Me” by Wynne Channing. I know that I am definitely going to check out more of her work and add it to my ‘to be read’ list. Brianna Lee Book Reviews http://www.briannaleereviews.blogspot.com
  
• 100 Hot And Sexy Stories on Nov. 24, 2012
  
  “100 Hot and Sexy Stories” by Antonia Allupato I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. Antonia Allupato created a collection of erotic short stories, one hundred to be exact. “100 Hot and Sexy Stories” are each very explicit and vivid – there is nothing left up to the imagination. I enjoy Erotica, but I like when there is a story behind the sex. I personally would rather read about the relationship as it grew so that the sex scenes would be more exciting. I like the buildup. My personal rating of this book is 2 STARS. But, that is completely personal and I know the next person very well could consider this a 5 STAR book! The stories in this book are all about two or three paragraphs long – give or take. Each one is short, quick, and to the point. The people in these stories waste no time to get down to business. A warning to all those who are planning to read this collection of stories…these are not for the shy type. Even those of you who read “Fifty Shades of Grey” for example may blush as these stories. The language in this story may not be what is in your usual Erotica novels. It is very graphic…and I mean explicit. I am by no stretch of the imagination a prude, but even I shook my head at certain parts. I would recommend this collection to people that like very explicit Erotica, which is short and to the point. I would also advise readers that are into “classy Erotica” to be cautious when approaching “100 Hot and Sexy Stories.” Since the stories in this collection are extremely short, there is no time for any actual story. It is pretty much 100 different sex scenes. As I pointed out above, this book is not going to be for everyone. There was definitely one story that gave me the creeps…it was about a mailman that got caught up in a snowstorm. If you read this book and read that story, come back and comment here and tell me what you thought about it! If you prefer to read vivid sex scenes in moderation, then I am not sure if you could handle the intensity of “100 Hot and Sexy Stories” by Antonia Allupato. There is no break from the sex and sex talk. Do not expect to find any casual conversations, hangouts, or adventures…everything is hardcore. Now, if you’re into the hardcore stuff then I would say give this book a chance – it might be exactly what you are looking for. If you’re not into hardcore sex, well…I warned you!
