 Avant Nation by C. D. Verhoff
Great Dystopian Read 4 Stars

This novel started off a little slow, but if you stick with it, it really picks up and is worth the wait. It is well written and the characters are also well written and easily relatable. The main character is a very likable character named Clara and the story is told from her point of view. Clara is genetically engineered, her very DNA coded to have her be the exact specimen that the government wants. I'm fact she becomes extremely important to the government with how good she is at what she does. She has fears and doubts, feelings she shouldn't be having if she was coded properly, if she isn't defective. Her sister was deemed defective and taken away to a place for "defectives" that no one is even sure is real. This is just the beginning. As you go along with Clara on her journey you will experience twists and turns that are certainly unexpected. You begin to see that everyone is not exactly as they seem. Who to trust? Good question. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes YA Dystopian fiction. It is quite a read. Hopefully this is the beginning of a series, as there is a cliffhanger ending, plus I look forward to reading more from this author.

Caller 107 by Matthew S Cox
A Gripping Must read!! 5 Stars!

 In this book you will meet Natalie a straight A student with a bright future. Suddenly she is a young teen stuck between two parents in the middle of a divorce, fighting over her, their unwilling bargaining tool. She is pissed off at the both of them. She blames her mother for wrecking their family, and her father for not bring there. She becomes embroiled in a world of danger. She is involved with a bad element, gets into trouble, both at school, and with the law. She abandons her life for a life on the dark dangerous streets with a gang in attempt to get some payback at her parents. As I ride along with Natalie, I was at first angry because I felt she was acting like an insolent little brat, but she got under my skin and I just wanted to reach out and help her. This story is full of twists and turns. Every time I thought I knew what was coming, hold on, plot twist! This I'd the kind of story that grips you once you get into the story and keeps you turning pages until the very end. Kudos to Matthew! This story was very well written and the characters were well defined. I definitely recommend this book.

Claiming Their Royal Mate by Andie Devaux Must Read Shifter Collection!!

Claiming Their Royal Mate by Andie Devaux
Must Read Shifter Collection!!

What can I say? I absolutely loved this collection of shifter romance. I am glad I got to read all of the books in one because if I had to wait between books I would be jonesing hard. That's how awesome Andie Devaux's shifters are! Once you pick this up you won't be able to put it down. The story grips you from the first page and enthrall a you until the last word. It is fast paced with well written characters, and a world that draws you in.  You are going to love the story of Daniella, Owen, and Erik. Daniella who is a strong, in my opinion badass woman, and also just happens to be a were-tigress, has no idea about what is happening to her or even WHAT she is to begin with. This is her story. It just also happens to be entwined with two alpha's that you will absolutely fall head over heels for. This tale is so hot and steamy it will leave you breathless. If you love a good steamy paranormal ménage, then this book is for you!

Fifteen by Jen Estes

 Fifteen by Jen Estes

Fifteen is book number one I'm a series. The main character in this story is Ashley, who is sassy, and smart mouthed and smart. She is fifteen years old, from a small town just like a million small towns all over America and she dreams, not the usual dreams like you and me but very unique "dreams" that are so terrifying she is afraid to sleep. She dreams about a future, her future where horrible monsters have taken over her hometown and are after her to kill her. In these dreams she is fifteen years older and dies. Every. Single. Night. Is it true that if you die in your dreams your going to die for real? The real question is are these dreams just dreams or is Ashley seeing into her real future. I want to tell you a whole lot more about the story but I don't want to leave any spoilers. Let's just say that Ashley finds out that there is definitely more to her dreams than them being just horrible nightmares. In fact Ashley and her dreams are key in saving the future. No pressure or anything. Save the world while being a "normal" teenage girl, or as normal as you can get when you are do exhausted from trying not to sleep, that you fall asleep in class and wake up screaming. Dealing with prom, her family, which includes a political office seeking aunt, a foster sister and her mom. This unique story is full of twists and turns, and surprises. This is a page turner for sure. In it you will find all of the things I've described and more, there's the time travel element, the young adult trying to get through element and even an element of Native American legends. This book has so much to offer. I gave it 5 stars and would definitely recommend it.

Fifteen Minutes to Live By Phoef Sutton

Fifteen Minutes to Live
By Phoef Sutton

I read this all in one go, I couldn't put it down! This is a short, but well written, well developed psychological thriller, with extremely well written characters Carl and Jesse. Carl is a television writer in his 30's and Jesse is suffering from amnesia. She has no memories after high school and  her short term memory is shot. Poor Jesse forgets everything every fifteen minutes, and she had disappeared a few months before for unknown reasons, which Carl soon discovers. It puts me in mind of a black and white Alfred Hitchcock take. It is full of twists and turns that will intrigue you and keep you turning the pages until the very end! Once you think you know where the story is leading, there will be another unexpected twist. The ending was a total surprise, some may describe it as weird or strange.   I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes a good thriller. I am looking forward to seeing more from this author.

This is a great series! (Better Date than Never) This is a series of quickie, fun, sweet reads and this is no exception. Ginger the main character, has a boring job, in an office wishing that she had not given in to her mother and left art school for a business degree she never wanted. She is in relationship limbo with the past ones being unsatisfactory to say the least. Then a sexy ER doctor Greg, who Ginger has "met" in the past, takes the condo above her and the sparks fly! Circumstances present themselves for Ginger to throw off the shackles of her current employment and follow her dreams. But will she take the plunge or now down to her mothers wishes? Ginger ends up offering her skills as an interior designer up for bid at a charity auction, and who should win but the charming Greg. I recommend you read this and find out all of the juicy details. Another great work of writing from Susan, it will leave you itching for the next installment!

Deep by Kylie Scott

                                     Deep by Kylie Scott

This book is the end of an awesome series. Lizzy is absolutely terrific, so hilarious, sassy, witty and sarcastic! This installment of the Stage Dive series is different than the other books in the series. It starts in the present and Lizzy gets some very unexpected need. How will this affect her relationship with Ben? Is there one? As with the other books in this series it is very well written, you are transported into the story and ride along with the characters. You will feel for Lizzy as she goes through so much, has do much to deal with. It is always sad to see a series that you love come to an end and this is no exception. I will always recommend this book, this series. I only gave this book 4 and a half stars because as well written as it was, it seemed slightly rushed. I was given this book free for an honest review.
