Deceived by Stephanie Nelson

Deceived by Stephanie Nelson was an excellent second installment of the Gwen Sparks series. The problems with Brew strain Gwen and Aiden's relationship, Ian is an ever present menace and Gwen learns more about her abilities with the introduction of Dorian, a mysterious newcomer who is easy to crush on. Anxiously awaiting book three to see what else is in store for Gwen! 

 

Virtue by Amanda Hocking

Virtue was a quick read with a storyline reminiscent of a fairy tale. Virtue was not a favorite of mine by Amanda Hocking, but a good read, all the less. Because this read was a novella I felt as though the story was rushed and could have easily been a full length novel.

Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick

Silence, the third installment of the Hush, Hush series did not grab me in the same way book one and two did. Enough time had lapsed between books two and three that I felt a recount of past events in Silence would help refresh the reader as to the events of book two. Overall I enjoyed this read, but felt something lacking from the prior installments in the series.

Angel Burn by L.A. Weatherly

I enjoyed the premise of Angel Burn. The basis of the story is something entirely different than what I have experienced with angel novels. There was a noticeable chemistry between Willow and Alex that kept me wanting more, although the storyline was a bit predictable in places. Overall a good read that I would recommend.

Great Hexpectations by H.P. Mallory

Absolutely AMAZING!!! I positively loved the third installment of the Dulcie O'Neil series. The chemistry between the characters, the humor, the surprises and the emotion this book invokes is unbelievable. I am anxiously awaiting the next installment, but will now re-read the entire series to relive it all from the beginning- yes it was that good! Way to go H.P., you have outdone yourself with this one! 

The First Husband by Laura Dave

If I could rate this book five stars plus, plus, plus I absolutely would. What can I say? Wow. I could not put The First Husband down. I did not want it to end. I would love to see the characters reappear in a future work (please?). I found all the characters endearing in their own right and relevant and real. It is not every day that a read grabs me as The First Husband did. 

Escape by Barbara Delinsky

I really enjoyed Escape and found that I could not put this book down. The setting was perfect and for a good part of the story I was not sure what the outcome would be. I love to come across a read that is unpredictable and I found that in Escape. I also like how the author took some characters that I didn't particularly care for and developed personalities that I eventually found endearing. A definite must read!
