Holloway Pack #2
Paranormal / Romance

Someone is watching the Holloway Pack, and this time, the female isn’t the target.

Life with a group of seven male werewolves worries Jem Stonehouse not one bit. She is engaged to the Alpha’s son Sean Holloway after all. So what has Jem’s territorial instincts on high alert?

The pack’s latest addition. Both of them.

None of the men think there’s a problem with the new girlfriends. Jem’s intuition tells her otherwise—that and a nagging suspicion the new females aren’t there to partake.

Jem believes they’ve joined in to take.

The question is … What?

As the eve of the blue moon draws ever closer, Jem’s running out of time to find the answer and outwit a thief of the worst possible kind.

A woman who believes she can’t lose.

#BookBlast : Death and Kisses by Clover Autrey #YAlit #BookGiveaway



Click on image to add on Goodreads
Death and Kisses
YA 


“My only thought was for Aden. I ran to him, kicking up water and called out his name. He turned and my heart skidded, crumbled and dropped to my feet. Not Aden, but Brad. Then where was . . .?

I looked down to where Brad’s gaze had been focused, down, down, in the murky water towards the center of the pond. No. Noooo! I shouldn’t be able to see him through the stirred-up sediment, but I did. Pascual was drowning Aden just as he had drowned Brad.”

One night changed Kasey’s life forever. The star football player drowned and everyone at school blames her. And oh, yeah, since that night, she can see ghosts. Not that she’s afraid of them. Much. She’s more concerned with staying under the radar as the school’s once-popular, now outcast loner freak. Until the boy she supposedly killed shows up wanting revenge.

Regardless of Kasey’s outcast status, the hot new guy in school, Aden, wants to help her figure out how to get the angry ghost to leave her alone. So what if he also wants to contact his dead brother? And why are all the ghosts suddenly following Aden around?

Author Clover Autrey 


Clover Autrey’s books have been referred to as “Romance in the Safety Zone.” The pages are chock full of adventure, attraction, fantasy and love, safe enough to read with your daughter or your grandmother, yet not so sweet it will put you in a sugar coma.

Inspired by her love of Louis L'Amour heroes, Clover (yeah, that's her real name), packed up and moved to Texas where she found a real live Texan of her own. She's been there ever since where she and Pat (who else would a Clover marry but a Patrick?), and their three boys, listen to the coyotes howl at the trains each evening.

#Review : Day After by @emijgayle #YAlit #paranormal


Click on image to add on Goodreads
Day After (The 19th Year #2)
YA / Paranormal

Demon crypts. Vampire lairs. Glowing angels. Sexy sirens. The stuff of fiction. 
Or so Winn Thomas always thought. 
Since being accepted into the fold of the supernatural, he knows better. None of what he imagined is true, but everything he feared is, and binding himself to his Changeling girlfriend until her nineteenth birthday will give him an education far beyond what he’d get at his human high school. 
Luckily, Winn’s not giving up, he won’t back down, and he definitely isn’t going to run away with his tail between his legs. After all, only werewolves have tails.
Right? 
In this, the second of the 19th Year trilogy, Winn’s facing the challenge of one lifetime. If he doesn’t learn the truth about mythological creatures, his girlfriend Mac Thorne won’t either. That means, in six months, when she chooses her final form, she won’t know what to pick. 
Winn, though, has his own ideas about Mac’s final selection—plans she knows nothing of. 
He intends to have her pick human. 
Whether she can or not.




Let's dive right in, shall we?

Yummies:

Characters, characters, characters!!

I fell in book-love with Winn in book #1 of The 19th Year, After Dark, so when I got my hands on this 2nd installment I was dork dancin' like a pro. Think about it - how many series in a paranormal switch character PoV's with each book?

This is the first to do so - that I've read - and oh am I ever glad Ms. Gayle went this route!!

Winn is the type of boyfriend we all wish we'd had back in high school - loyal, compassionate, kind, respectful - the kind you looked forward to taking home to meet Pop.

The supporting cast is endearing & frustrating all at once, a variety of humans, gods, and mythological creatures that keep the reader on their toes. This book has it all.  Angels, demons, griffins, vampires, dragons, but they have their place & mesh in a way I've never seen done before. A council of 12 such creatures act as a ... senate, I guess you could say, representing their kind and ruling, but without one single leader. The relationships between them is sometimes full of tension, and oftentimes snicker worthy. 

Yuckies:

Ok. This isn't REALLY a yucky, but here goes.

While a lot of answers are given in DA, quite a few - the most important ones - are still a mystery. Le sigh. I understand the need for cliff hangers of this sort (I'm guilty of them myself!!!!!) but I HATE waiting for conclusions!

Ms. Gayle's voice & story telling expertise will leave you growling for the 3rd and final installment of this as well - what I consider one of the best YA paranormal series to date.

See. Not really yucky at all.  ;)

Recommend:

To YA lovers & occasional readers - to NON YA lovers as well - yes. These books are enticing. Easy to relate to even though they're full of mythological creatures, funny, and endearing. 

So worth the time!!
