Giveaway: Destined by P.C. & Kristin Cast

Well things are all back up!!  Files were lost in the drama, but for the most part I got them all back. (And have hopefully got back to everyone that needed a reply.)

So what better way to celebrate getting back on track then a giveaway!  The lovely people at Malcolm publishing are hosting giveaways so now it’s your lucky chance to win Destined by P.C. & Kristin Cast.


Zoey is finally home where she belongs, safe with her Guardian Warrior, Stark, by her side, and preparing to face off against Neferet – which would be a whole lot easier if the High Counsel saw the ex-High Priestess for what she really is. Kalona has released his hold on Rephaim, and, through Nyx's gift of a human form, Rephaim and Stevie Rae are finally able to be together – if he can truly walk the path of the Goddess and stay free of his father's shadow…

But there are new forces at work at the House of Night. An influx of humans, including Lenobia’s handsome horse whisperer, threatens their precarious stability. And then there’s the mysterious Aurox, a jaw-droppingly gorgeous teen boy who is actually more – or possibly less – than human. Only Neferet knows he was created to be her greatest weapon. But Zoey can sense the part of his soul that remains human, the compassion that wars with his Dark calling. And there’s something strangely familiar about him…

Will Neferet’s true nature be revealed before she succeeds in silencing them all? And will Zoey be able to touch Aurox’s humanity in time to protect him – and everyone – from his own fate? Find out what’s destined in the next thrilling chapter of the House of Night series.

Not Forgotten . . .

Between anti virus protection failure, Internet provider mix up, health issues, and other annoying things Book Whispers has seemly been forgotten.  Not really I'm still constantly obsessing over it and wanting to post.  Everything is falling behind and it's driving me mad!!

So first up I have to apologize to all my wonderful readers, who I have yet to respond to (whether through goodreads, email, youtube, or my blog). Authors who had interviews, reviews, and other such things.  I should be up and running by Sunday or Monday.

ARC Review: Half-Blood

***ARC  Book release date: October 18, 2011 ***

Half-Blood (Covenant, Book 1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

HB

Genre: Paranormal YA
ISBN: 0983157200
Edition Reviewed: Paperback
Amazon: Paperback | Kindle 
Goodreads: Half-Blood

The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi-pure-bloods-have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals-well, not so much. Half-bloods only have two options: become trained Sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures.

Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1:

Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden.

Unfortunately, she's crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn't her biggest problem--staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden.

And that would kind of suck


Review:

Half-Blood is a heady mix of Vampire Academy and new Greek Mythology.  In my book, that’s an excellent combination.  Sure, at certain points it read so much like VA that you could actually match up the names to certain characters and some climax points are ruined if you’ve already read VA.   Armentrout still has enough originality in Half-Blood that it carries its own, and thoughts of VA are only lingering in the back of your mind.

Half-Blood is steeped in rich Greek mythology, where the children of the gods—Hematoi—walk among humans controlling the four elements.  Hematoi’s believe themselves superior to humans, not only that the Hematois are divided amount pures and half-bloods.  Pures are the descendants of two Hematoi’s, while halves are children of a Hematoi and a human.  In the world that Alex lives in the halfs know that the pures are the law in all decisions.  If Alex can’t be a killer of Daimons—her ultimate dream—then the threat of being a drugged slave to her own farther looms over her head.

The love interest, Aiden, immediately enters the storyline to save the day. Of course he’s an older man—at least he’s only 21 and Alex is 17—with the added naughty factor of being a pure. Half-bloods and pures are forbidden to be together, and boy do things really heat up. Aiden is the perfect Sentinel, and maybe the perfect guy. He’s the head of his family after his parents die, left to take care of his brother. For a YA novel Half-Book certainly brought on the smok’in sexual tension!

The cast of characters are all fun to play with.  Seth the Apollyon, basically a super Half-blood who can control all the elements, might be Alex’s fated other half.  Alex’s father has secret ambitions that may destroy Alex and entrap her in a life that might be worse then being just a mindless drugged slave to the pures.  A mother who isn’t quite as dead as Alex thinks and is now killing people.  A fun and humorous guy best friend—who is blessedly not at love interest for Alex.

Alex is just the kind of heroine I’ve come to love from Urban Fantasy.  She’s brash, mouthy, and doesn’t always use her brains over her brawns.  (This can sometimes make me want to slap her upside the head.)  In my mind this is darker than the first three books of VA, more like a haunting taste of The Nightshade series.  In a world where half breeds are brainwashed slaves one way or another, it’s hard to shake that old time horrors of breeding prejudice among the “elite”.  Alex isn’t just tasked with becoming a better fighter and saving lives,  she has to take the life of someone she loves the most.  In my book that makes Half-Blood one of the must read YA debuts of the year.

Sexaul Content:  This is a steamy YA read.  Dirty humor—thoughts—and one steamy scene between Alex and Aiden.


4/5- Great! Really enjoyed it.

Review: The Darkest Kiss

The Darkest Kiss (Lords of the Underworld, Book 2) by Gena Showalter

darkestkiss

Genre: Paranormal Romance
ISBN: 0373772327
Edition Reviewed: Ebook
Amazon: Paperback | Kindle
Goodreads: The Darkest Kiss

She has tempted many men...but never found her equal. Until now.

Though she has lived for centuries, Anya, goddess of anarchy, has never known pleasure. Until Lucien, the incarnation of death--a warrior eternally doomed to take souls to the hereafter. He draws her like no other. And Anya will risk anything to have him.

But when the merciless Lord of the Underworld is ordered by the gods to claim Anya herself, their uncontrollable attraction becomes an anguished pursuit. Now they must defeat the unconquerable forces that control them, before their thirst for one another demands a sacrifice of love beyond imagining...


Review:

Ahhhhh, now this is what I’m talk’in about!  The first book was like this dirty little tease.  Bringing me in with the myth, but leaving me wanting for the main couple of the book.  Now I have the best of everything, great mythology, good side characters, and a chemistry-exploding couple!

Anya is what I crave in a female lead; witty, a hard core warrior, and a woman who can handle her own sexuality to the X.  Some might find her personality a little too slutty, but there's more to her then meets the eyes.  The thing is Anya has never needed a man before and she wants everything her freedom can offer her.  Even to the point of standing up to the Titans—who over threw the Greek gods from the last book. (In love with her yet?)

Lucien is the Lord of Death.  He keeps absolute control on his emotions and actions, never letting his control slip.  The secret behind the scars that mar his—obviously once drop-dead—face is pretty shocking, and it’s sad to dig up his past.  It wasn’t just one huge pity party to get the reader teary eyed for the hero.  It’s beyond enchanting watching Anya slowly break through Lucien’s barriers.  When she actually made him smile I found myself fist pumping it and cheering her on.

As mentioned above Anya and Lucien’s relationship is an exploding addiction.  When the other plot elements hit the page their story leaves you gripping the pages and staying up late to finish. Cronus—the new Titan in charge—wants Anya’s All Key, which allows it’s wearer to escape anything and shift to any location in the world by a thought.   Cronus sends Lucien to kill Anya and get the key.  Anya can’t stay away from her killer and Lucien can’t understand the feelings that would make him betray the other Lords.  Anya can’t conceive why she is so obsessed with Lucien—to the point of being his personal stalker.  She can’t imagine ever giving up her free will for a man.  With all of these obstacles in the way it makes for a frustratingly brilliant tale.

To keep the fire burning Showalter adds in the POV of the other Lords. Paris meets a woman that he actually wants to take again—his demon of Promiscuity usually only allows him to take one woman once. Sadly she’s a Hunter and the events that happen are shocking. Reyes—Pain—has to battle his fellow brother to save the woman that has been haunting him since he let her escape. 

This book is on fire!!  If The Darkest Night left you wondering why this series is so popular, read this book before you make your final decision.   When Showalter gets the chemistry right between the hero and heroine it’s an addiction that will eat you up and spit you out.  The story isn’t just stuck on the love plot, the other brothers get enough page time that they become real.  You can root for more than just the current hero.  It’s heady and exactly what I was hoping for this series to have.

Sexual Content:  This book is delightfully dirty.  From Anya’s naughty outfits and sex talk, to Promiscuity hunting down some women for sex.  The sex is hot and this will leave PNR fans with the perfect amount of the two kinds of action we love.


5/5- Fabulous, a beautiful obsession!

Review:

First up I’m not going to argue which PNR author was “first” or who is better.  Which one had THE idea first and who branched off of it—or stole it.  No. I will say that if you’ve finally cracked and joined all of the hub-a-bulu about it there’s certain authors who’s names just keep popping up.  J.R. Ward, Kresley Cole, Nalini Singh, Karen Marie Moning, Richelle Mead, Jeaniene Frost,  Sherrilyn Kenyon, and Gena Showalter are some of the names at the top of the list.  So far I’ve tried all of them with pretty decent success rates. Except for Gena Showalter. 

One day I picked up DN off of the shelf in the book store and was ready to purchase it.  There was an obscenely long line and I decided to start reading it.  Twenty pages in I was unimpressed.  (Let’s just say I put the book back and bought a better one.)  So when a Ebook copy landed in my lap, the first twenty or so pages where just as unimpressive.

The main character is a the damsel in distress, who has a rare gift that makes here a freak to anyone—except her soon to be mate.   Besides her cute penchant for romance novels, herself doubt, insecurities, and total lack of a personality make for a boring time.   The “soon to be mate” in question also happens to be a cookie cutter guy.  He’s a immortal guardian who’s bonded to the Demon of Violence.  That means a lot of mean words, thoughts, grrs, and basically alpha attitude.   (Basically he could have popped out of any stereo typical romance.)

What did keep me going was the tease of Showalter’s humor that kept popping up, and the wickedly awesome mythology.    The idea of men being the ones to open Pandora’s box amuses me beyond belief!  Especially since it was as something as silly as making a point to the gods that they should be the ones protecting it.  Learning about each warrior and the demon inside them soon became a heady addiction for me. 

At the first of the book the Greek gods are in control and within a matter of page turns the Titans have escaped and the new upper management is already making the Lords lives miserable. Those miserable lives actually interested me more than the main couples.  Reyes, possessing the Demon of Pain, meets his lady love when they kidnap her and her entire family.  The Titans want Arion, Demon of Wrath, to kill them all.  If he refuses he will go insane with the need to kill them.  This makes for a pretty interesting triangle, the lady love, the man who loves her, and the best friend of the man who loves her want to kill her.  So much better than a love triangle!

It’s a fascinating world on one of my favorite mythologies! Taking the old legend of Pandora’s box and giving it a new life.  Sure the main focus of this book left a lot to be desired, but everybody needs to find their footing.  The couple had enough of a “personality” that at times I found them very cute, and of course cheered them on. The mythology, other Lords of the Underworld, and promising twists of the future books are sure to make up for it. 

Sexual Content:  Bad language, dirty talk, and sex scenes.  One of the Lords is promiscuity so you know things are really gonna get dirty.


2/5- Average/disappointing, library check-out

[Menage Amour: Erotic Cowboy Menage a Trois Romance, M/F/M, bondage] Rachel Swift is a woman on the run. Max and Rye Harper are just the men to catch her. A stalker sent Rachel's world reeling. Now she's running for her life, and Bliss, CO, seems like the perfect place to hide. Bliss is a strange little town, filled with artists, nudists, and the occasional conspiracy nut. It's a good place to start over. Horse trainer Max and Sheriff Rye gave up on their dream of finding one perfect woman to share long ago. Rachel walks in, and they're both in love and fighting their true natures. When Rachel's past catches up with her, all of Bliss is in danger. Can Rachel stand up to the man who took everything? Rachel is done running. It's time for her to get back in the saddle and ride. ** A Siren Erotic Romance


Review:

As I’m just getting into the ménage erotica, I’m starting to get the feeling that authors think that only Colorado cowboys like to “share their toys”.  Maybe they think they’re the only kind of guys that are man enough for the task, or they’re like me and firmly believe that a man in a good pair of wranglers and can ride a horse is just too sexy to pass up.

Whatever, the case I’m one satisfied reader.  The identical twins Alex and Ryan are finger-licking good! Alex has a sour mean boy attitude that hides his big softy side and he’s one tender lover.  Where easy going Ryan is dominating and demanding in the sack.  Over all a heady combination when combined.

What I liked about Oaks ménage is that there is some build—well, as much build as you can get from 240 pages.  Rachel Swift is a woman on the run who has been chased down and hunted by a one-time blind date gone wrong.  He’s fixated on her and wants her dead, after he’s done with her of course.  She can’t trust the cops, because he is one.   When she meets Alex she’s immediately pulled in.  Then Ryan enters the stage and the rumors of how the boys like to share women soon get her curious.  However, Alex doesn’t want to share.

This book was tons of fun right from the get go, especially with Rachel beating Alex to a pulp with some roses.  The guys trying to convince Rachel that she should be with both of them.  When all along Rachel is plotting to make them see that she wants them both.  This wacky and sexy tale takes place in fictional Bliss Colorado, where strange sexual flavors are OK and the nudists from the nudist colony are always scaring the tourists.

This book is fun in and out of the bedroom giving erotica readers just what they were seeking in an ménage amour title.  Maybe due to lack of a decent page count things move on swiftly, like Rachel excepting her two lovers.  Either way this is tons of dirty fun!  If the sex scenes don’t get your blood pumping the game of predator and prey will. As Rachel’s psycho wanna-be boyfriend sneaks into town ready to take her and her lovers out.  Oak also builds up enough of the supporting cast that you can anticipate sequels—trust me you'll want them.

Sexual Content:   Threesomes, sex toys, submissive sex, nudists running amuck, and plenty of dirty talk.


3/5- Adored it, just a few minor details held it back.

Book Description:

The second book in a new urban fantasy series featuring mosquito-sized fairies with poisonous bites that drive humans insane.It's only been three weeks since Annabelle helped solve the murder of Grace Beauchamp, and in the process, she discovered a secret world of invisible, magic-working people who have decided she might have what it takes to join their ranks.

As best as she can determine, Annabelle’s attack by a group of fairies has infected her with paranormal ability she did not previously possess, including being able to mentally move objects and heal wounds. Her new abilities appear to have few negative side effects, aside from creepy dreams. But would that change if she stopped injecting herself with the mystery drug delivered to her by the even more mysterious Tucker, one of the Invisibles? Leery of trusting criminals with her health, Annabelle wishes she had someone she could talk to about the changes in her life. Enter Hitch, FBI agent and Annabelle’s ex, who’s back in Donaldsonville on an off-the-books investigation. Hitch suspects that there’s a government-funded illegal lab that’s developing a controversial fairy-killing spray that could adversely affect the existence of every living thing in the delta—including humans. And Hitch and Annabelle will have to find a way to work together if they're going to find a way to shut it down.
