BuckeyeAngel's Book Reviews, Travels and Other Interests

Sloane Redding was supposed to have been married six months before on Valentine's Day to Rodney, but he backed out. Boone "DB" Cassidy's two best friends were twin brothers Pierce and Taylor Redding, whom also happen to be Sloane's brothers. All three had been working for DDX Security Specialists. Pierce had been killed on a mission. After that, Taylor quit. Now Taylor is getting married and even though he doesn't want to attend the wedding, he still does because it's the last friend he has. Huley's is the only bar in Nowhere, Alabama. Sloane walked in to the bar to show her new self off, but then Rodney wouldn't leave her alone. Sloane hit him, but he wouldn't take the hint so Boone stepped in. She offered Boone a drink and dance and ended up in his hotel with him. I really enjoyed the book, other than wondering if her brother's name is Tyler or Taylor (a grammatical error that continues throughout the book). There were a number of gramm...

Riley Stone was a necromancer who had a permit to work on Calamata Island, which is supposed to be off-limits to all demons but lately there's been an influx of them. Riley's job was to question their spirits. Benjamin was an archangel in charge of this region of the country and resided on Calamata Island. The demon Riley was questioning was sent to find a dame, to do a pass through town to see if she was there. This was the third demon he had questioned in the last week. All were sent by someone different, but each demon said the same thing. Paige's best friend was Christopher. He had warned her not to run at night, but the nightmares were back and she couldn't sleep. A Tiphon demon bit her, but Riley chased it off and the demon would be back. He used morton root on her bit as it could've killed her otherwise. Paige told Riley she had been on the island three years. Before the past week, it had been over 10 years since a demon had crossed over from the main land....

Meg Canan is from Marietta, Wyoming, but she works in TV in Chicago. She was visiting Montana and her truck slid into a snow bank. A man, Lincoln Brady, stopped to help her get unstuck. He had grown up in Texas, but had just moved there, having bought the Circle H, which was the Hartstocht's old place. He had been a CEO with really big oil. Meg was visiting the Lazy C, her brother's ranch. Megan went to a grocery store and stopped to chat with Lily Taylor, who called out to Linc for help as he was at the store. They were having a bachelor auction to benefit Josh Drekker, who was a boy with a spinal cord injury being raised by his single mom. Their continued interactions start off sparks that just take them from there. It was a good book. The interactions between the two main characters were very funny. I'd recommend it to anyone that likes romances.

*I have only read most of the stories in this anthology so my reviews are only for the ones I finished Liliana Hart - THE WITCH NEXT DOOR - I found this story to be very interesting and I found I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. I even stalked the author's website for the next one. I thought the author did an excellent job of bring you into this tale of witchcraft, reincarnation, and soul mates:) 5 stars Darynda Jones - A LOVELY DROP - Being a big fan of Darynda Jones' Grim Reaper series, I was excited to see her releasing something new and I'm glad she didn't disappoint.  This was another story where I couldn't put down the book until I was done with it. Normally I steer clear of any books that have to do with time travel, but this one is done very well that it keeps you wanting more. 5 stars Shea Berkley - DARK SECRETS: STONE COLD DEAD -   This story definitely threw in an element of supernatural I hadn't read about. It's also very fas...

Rhys was very worried for Lily. He knew that without her he was nothing. She was his mate and he loved her. Dennis made Lily go with him through the hedge to look for the weapon. Dennis had been working with the dark forces since he was twelve. He said he always had a need to hurt things, that he liked it. Kyle had went to Dennis in the dark side and hadn't been home in three years. Kyle shot Lily in the stomach and she dies. I enjoyed this last part. The whole serial was well written and all came together. I'd recommend it to anybody that reads paranormal. Make sure read all parts and in order.

Rhi felt Rhys was cocky, impulsive, reckless, and wild, but also brave, valiant, bold and daring. Rhi was being torn apart as her time with Balladyn brought forth some of the darkness in her. Ulrik's uncle Mikkel had not left when all of the dragons were supposed to go and became the silver dragons' king, which was supposed to be Ulrik. Mikkel couldn't shift and was the one that actually took Rhys' ability to shift away. Ulrik's ability was that he could give life back to the lifeless. The dragon kings had a weapon hidden. Con and Killian were the only ones that knew what the weapon was. Lily was supposed to help Dennis get into where the dragon kings resided so he could find the weapon. Once again, still very much enjoying the story and the twists and turns that are coming up. I would recommend it to anyone that likes paranormal books.
