Review of The City Beneath by Melody Johnson



Cassidy DiRocco is a reporter. She heard a hiss from the alley and went to see what it was. It was a man severely burned with 3rd degree burns all over his body. She called Detective Gretta Wahl to let her know they had another live victim. They already had 7. She asked her to send her brother Nathan. Detective Wahl was a friend and sometimes informant to Cassidy. Meridith Drake was photographer and a close friend. Donovan, Nathan's medic partner, showed up at the site and said the man was dead. Nathan had also stopped and said the man was still alive but had died shortly thereafter. Walking home to her apartment, Cass was plowed down by the man who was supposed to be dead, but he's not completely human. Cass's intervention saved him. His gift to her is not to kill her, Meridith, Donovan, Nathan, and Detective Wahl. Cass was again attacked and she ran to get home. First her arm, then her legs, then her stomach. Lysander saved her. He was the creature from the night before. Lysander told Cass she was a Night Blood. She found out Lysander's other name was Dominic and he was the Master Vampire of NYC. Dominic asked Cass to help him subdue Kaden and his followers, the ones that attacked her, before they massacred the city and exposed the existence of vampires to the world.
Cassy stubborn, gutsy reporter. She is willing to take risks and is ambitious. She doesn't think anything is taboo for a story. She can be caring but her parents' death seemed to freeze her feelings. Dominic is a Master of a coven in NYC. He is a very determined being. He'll stop at nothing to get what he wants, or so it seems, but he does bend for Cass. They become partners to a degree. He is very protective and everything a master vampire should be.
This was a very good story. I would recommend it to anyone that likes Paranormal books.

Review of The Rest of My Life by Sheryl Browne - 5 Stars!!

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Adam slept with Lisa, who was a married woman. Nathanial was Adam's only friend. Nathanial was the marina's manager. Sienna is renting a cottage with her best friend Lauren. Sienna had to re-edit her romance script. Sienna wasn't sure if she believed that love conquered all anymore. Even though he was a womanizer, Sienna was attracted to Adam. He was also attracted to her, but knew he should stay away. Sienna was naive as far as passionate experiences went and her ex-boyfriend made her question whether or not she was frigid. She was a kind, warm and loving person trying to get a little breathing room from her dad. She loved her dad and even understood.  I really loved her character and her defending of those she cared for. Adam had been messed up from a previous relationship and saw his ex-fiance's ghost a lot. He had affairs to take away the pain and loneliness and drank for the same reason. Howeve

Review of Ignited by Laurie Wetzel - 4 Stars

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maddy was dating an angel, MJ. MJ is a protector who has broken a lot of rules, but some he had to keep. MJ told Maddy she was his heart and he would fight before he would let anyone take her. Maddy had some special powers of her own. The characters were good, especially Maddy, who was overwhelmed with powers she couldn't control and the love she couldn't state and MJ. The plot was good as was the overall story. It dragged a little bit, but overall a good story. I recommend, although I didn't like the ending.

Review of The Wedding Reject Table by Angela Britnell

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maggie was at a wedding reception and at the reject table, met a handsome man named Chad Robertson. He was from Tennessee and he was an attorney. Maggie was a cake decorator and childhood friend of Fiona, the bride. Maggie and her sister Emily had formed Two Heart Catering two months before. Emily called Maggie away from Chad as the cake had been ruined. Maggie was the responsible and reliable half of the company. Emily was the creative cook. Chad was attracted to Maggie and recently he had decided he was bored. Emily is the drama queen, and even though she's younger, Maggie has been brought up to take care of her. Maggie is a very loyal and responsible person. She can be very caring and loving. She can also be stubborn at times. She was usually very sensible who learned to let go some and also found love. I liked her character. Chad was a charming Southern man. He was a good guy, kind and caring. He changed thro
