Carrier of the Mark by Leigh Fallon

I LOVE LOVE LOVED THIS BOOK! From the start I was sucked into Megan Rosenberg's story. I really don't know how to review it without it containing a ton of spoilers and I don't want to do that!

Megan moves to Ireland with her dad when he accepts a job offer. From the beginning she feels the best about this place. Like this is where they are supposed to be. They move around a lot since her mom died. (Megan and her mother were in an accident and Megan survived. Her mother did not) Her first day of school she sees Adam and its basically a love at first sight. Megan begans to make friends at her new school. They all tell her that there is rumors that Adam and his family are witches and that their lands are cursed. After what seems like forever and a run in with some other local kids (think Halloween and raw eggs) her and Adam finally admit their feelings for each other. Adam tells her the truth about what he really is and throws a bombshell at her.

You wanna know what that bombshell is??? READ THE BOOK.

5 star rating. Because I found myself wanting to read rather then facebook or watch tv!

Book of Shadows by Cate Tiernan (Book 1 in Sweep series)

Book one in The Sweep Series. I REALLY enjoyed it! Its a super short book and for me a very fast read. Its about a young teenage girl who gets introduced to Wicca and learns she is special. Think Magickal special. I think if I say too much I would give away things in the book you find out when you read. So with that being said Its a good book and I'm looking forward to book 2. I think it is geared for the YA genre. If you like books about Witches give this one a go!

Rated 4 stars!

P.S. Sorry the last few reviews have been so short. I got behind and wanted to hurry up and post so I didn't forget!

This is a short story written by Jennifer Malone Wright. I felt like the story was just starting when it ended. I really liked the character and am very excited to pick up book 2 and read it.
Chloe witness her mothers murder and learns she is a direct descendant of a long line of Vampire Hunters and that her mother was one of the best ones out there until she did the un-thinkable and fell in love with a vampire.

GREAT book!

You're The One That I Haunt by Terri Garrey

Book 3 in the Nikki Styx series. It begins where book 2 leaves off. The Devil is still up to his antics trying to get Nikki to go to the dark side. He decides to make life a lot harder by getting a ghost involved who is basically pissed off at the world and wants revenge. The revenge is going to hurt her beloved Doctor boyfriend Joe. He is facing a lawsuit and losing his job. Nikki cannot let that happen so she is trying to make a deal with the ghost and try to help her.
Its a good book and very entertaining. I like this series though! Can't wait for book 4 :)

Tiger's Voyage by Colleen Houck

This is the 3rd book in the Tiger Series by Colleen Houck. It begins where book 2 leaves off. I am a HUGE fan of this series. And this book was No exception! I LOVED it just as much as I loved book one and book two. I was a bit bummed about some of Kelsey's decisions but I admired her for sticking to her guns and doing everything she could to keep her promises. The whole book had me at the edge of my seat. And once the Dragons were introduced I didn't want to put the book down because I HAD to know what was going to happen! Colleen is a Wonderful story teller. They way she weaves fiction and legend into a story makes it so exciting and fun! The book ends with a HUGE cliffhanger and you are left wanting the next book NOW! I can't wait for book 4. I really think I will be in a book store first thing when it comes out so I can start reading it! If you haven't read the series What are you waiting for? Go pick it up and start!

The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa

What can I say about this book?

Other then the fact that I LOVED it! I love this series so much and am saddened that this is the last one but I will admit I am happy with the way it ended. Because in all honestly who doesn't want the Happily Ever After in all books?

This is in Ash's point of view. Not the usual Meghan's point of view. So I enjoyed the difference. Ash has to return to Meghan in the Iron Kingdom but doing so will kill him so he decides he is just going to go get himself a soul and become human. With his trusty sidekick Puck and Grim (the sarcastic cat)they embark on a crazy adventure that puts them up against monsters and a journey to the end of the world. Along the way they gain 2 more friends who accompany them. One who is someone everyone thinks is long dead. The other an enemy that has promised that the Prince will arrive to his destination safely. The monsters alone (well the description of them) make this book seem a little darker. I mean I like to think I have a good imagination but some of the stuff in here was pretty scary! (at least to me)

If you haven't read the Iron Fey series I urge you to do so NOW! What are you waiting for!?

I rated 5 stars!

Life's That Way by Jim Beaver

Jim Beaver plays Bobby Singer on the CW TV show "Supernatural". It is one of my most favorite shows on television. I buy every season and I make sure to tune in every Friday night. To watch my beloved Winchester brothers go against whatever evil they are facing this week. Bobby is like a father to them. There helping, giving advice or just offering a drink when needed. He really helps make the show what it is. He is only on the show occasionally but man those episodes are always good.

Reading this book has been one of the HARDEST things I have done. One minute Jim has me laughing and the next I am crying so hard I think it warrants the dreaded "Ugly Face Cry" This book is a wonderful dedication to his wife Cecily. He started writing the emails when she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer. Which is where it gets hard for me. My own mother was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer back when I was 17. So basically reading this was kind of like reliving everything my mom went through. I remember her losing her hair. I remember her being in pain and I remember being in the hospital room with her when she passed away. There are so many similarities with Jim's feelings and the way I felt back then. Its been 12 years for me and time has made it easier but I never will forget and I never will stop missing or loving her! I love how in some emails he concludes "No bye bye" and my favorite was the "Good Morning, Good Morning" song that he sings to his daughter Maddie. Every email seems to impress me more and his ability to be human and have feelings and not be afraid to express them. I love that he freely says "I can't do it" or "I broke down today".
Yes this book is sad but it really is worth the read. There are so many good points he makes in the book that I think everyone should know. Read the book. Especially if you have lost someone to Cancer. Yes it will be hard and yes have tissues but really just knowing that someone else knows how you feel and its in writing can make all the difference!
Thank you Jim for saying what needed to be said that nobody else would say!

I rated 5 stars!
