ARC Review: Voodoo Moon by June Stevens

Title: Voodoo Moon-A Moon Sisters Novel (Paranorm World #1)
Author: June Stevens
Publisher: Crimson Tree Publishing
Page Count: 320
Genre: Paranormal/Fantasy/Dystopian

Expected Release Date: January 16, 2015


Blurb:

Zombies aren’t supposed to exist, yet they are turning up all over Nash City. As a member of the Elite Black Blade Guard, Fiona Moon is tasked with hunting down the most dangerous Paranorm criminals. Now she must find out who is kidnapping mages and sucking the life energy from their bodies. To make matters worse, she has to work with the one man that embodies everything she despises. Ian Barroes is the rich founder and head of the Necromancers Guild and a professor of Necromantic Studies at the Academy of Science and Magic. There is one thing he wants more than anything else in the world… Fiona.

They each hold secrets that could destroy them, but could also be the key to destroying the evil Voodoo priest, Bokor. They must learn to trust each other and track down Bokor before more innocents are taken, and murdered. To make matters worse, when Fiona becomes a target of the evil madman, she finds herself lured into his trap. Now she and Ian have to fight for survival and their very souls.



I realized that I have neglected my first love, Paranormal genre books. Voodoo Moon brings me back to where my love of reading started. This book is full of everything paranormal. So no matter what you love, you'll love this book. This book series reminds me of the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton.
Stevens does an excellent job of creating the post apocalyptic world without making it seem dreary. Her characters are dynamic and keep you entertained. 
Fiona's character tries to come off as hardcore but when it comes to family she can be emotional. Her relationship with Ian is full of sexual tension. She claims that she doesn't want him, but she is attracted. 
I love Pinky. He is like the "Papa Bear" of the group and he's a vampire. 
My overall thoughts, excellent start to the series. Ste
vens has done a great job with this book and I'm sure we can't wait till the next one arrives. This is a definite recommend. For readers 18+.

Cover Reveal and Giveaway: Fighting The Fall by JB Salsbury



Title: Fighting the Fall
Series: Fighting #4
Author: JB Salsbury
Cover Design: Pixel Mischief Design
 Release Date: November 4, 2014


Synopsis


The toughest fighters aren’t created in the octagon but are born of necessity. When life delivers blow after punishing blow, you fight back or get destroyed.

Eve Dawson has had her fill of bad luck. A string of unhealthy relationships has left her angry, bitter, and frustrated. She’s given up on being happy and settles for content. Swearing off men, she repels advances and makes herself a challenge to even the most persistent suitors. After all, how much can the fragile human heart take? But life isn’t finished with her, and when things can’t possibly get worse . . . they do.

Stay on your feet.

It’s Cameron Kyle’s motto, but with his fighting career ripped from his grasp, a child he wasn’t strong enough to save, and a marriage that even the brawn of a heavyweight couldn’t hold together, it’s getting harder and harder to stay upright. He takes on the position of CEO of the UFL, intent on hiding his biggest weakness in order to forge a path that leads him back into the octagon.

When an old rival mysteriously gets wind of Cameron’s plan to fight again, he comes out of retirement to settle old debts, but secrets, lies, and betrayal threaten to deliver the death-blow. The distraction of a sass-mouthed girl seventeen years his junior is the last thing he needs until a tragic accident shatters the firm foundation of his resolve and he realizes just how far he’s fallen.

Will they risk it all and fight to be together? Or does defeat lie within the fall?









Available Now



I feel his eyes on me, and when I turn I almost recoil at the intensity behind his stare. “Can you stop acting like we’re two old friends shooting the shit when you know good and fucking well you’re thinking the same thing I am.”
 
 My mouth falls open and I force it shut, only to have it drop open again.
 
“I’ve hand my hands and my mouth all over every inch of that gorgeous body, Eve. You think I can’t read you? Know what you’re thinking about right now?”
 
I swallow hard. “What am I thinking about?”
 
“Same thing I am.”

Promo, Review and Giveaway: Resist Me by Chelle Bliss

BlogTourBanner
Book:Resist Me Series: Men of Inked Book Number: 4 Author: Chelle Bliss Genre: Erotic/Romantic Erotica Release Date: August 25, 2014
Resist Me Ebook
Synopsis:
Izzy Gallo has never been described as a member of the weaker sex. She’s a woman who doesn’t take shit from anyone. Growing up with four older overprotective brothers has hardened her, making her a force to be reckoned with.
Against the wishes of her two brothers, Joe and Mike, Izzy takes a weekend trip to Bike Week in Daytona, turning her world upside down. Over her head, in a world she doesn’t understand, there’s only one man who can save her.
James Caldo has dedicated his life to protect and serve as a member of the DEA. He’s cocky, overbearing, and doesn’t take no for an answer – the Gallo men have nothing on him.
When their paths cross, James makes Izzy question everything she believes about completely surrendering to the opposite sex.
Does James have what it takes to overpower the headstrong Izzy, capturing her heart forever?


Chelle Bliss' books always are entertaining and a joy to read. She takes you into the world of the Gallo family and the dynamics behind them. I love reading about all the Gallo men and their Alpha, domineering selves. 

In Resist Me, we get to see the only female Gallo, other than Mama Gallo, find romance. Izzy is a tough as nails kind of woman. She takes no crap and can pack a punch, especially with words. When she meets James, she has met her match. James is like the Gallo men but to the extreme. I love me some James. He is dominating, sexy and can work a pair of hand cuffs. 

I have to admit that Izzy's character annoyed me a bit. She is so brash and off putting at times. I know that she is that away because of who she grew up with. As the only female child, she has a lot to live up to. Plus she is scared of ending up with a man like her brothers. She feels being in a relationship like that, she will loose herself. 

I was disappointed that Izzy never really talked to James about his life. His family life is mentioned earlier in the book, but is seems more like an afterthought. 

My least favorite character would be Flash. He is exactly how Izzy puts it, a p***y.

As with all of Ms. Bliss' books, she opens the door for the next one. We know that Tommy's will be next and I can't wait. The whole Gallo clan make appearances in this book. So fans of Michael and City will not be disappointed. 

My overall thoughts on the book is, I liked it very much but it wasn't my favorite of the series. Unfortunately Izzy's character can not stand on her own as a arrogant female. The additions of her brothers help to carry the book along with James. I do recommend this book because you learn a lot for Tommy's book. I hope that as the series progresses, Izzy tames just a bit. Due to sexy and STEAMY scenes, this book is recommended for readers 18+.

I’d already raised my voice, but I couldn’t fucking help it. The woman was maddening. “I’m exactly what you need and want. You’re too fucking scared to admit it.”

She shook her head as she crawled out of bed and started to dress. “You’re not all that.”

“When you grow the fuck up, call me,” I said as I stalked toward her.

“You’re a total dick,” she hissed, moving to slap me.

I grabbed her wrist, pulling her to my body. Gripping her hair in my fist, I gave it a slight tug as I hovered over her lips. She gasped, holding my shoulders.

“You know you want me,” I growled, my lips a breath away from hers. “I wrecked you for any other man. I own your ass, Izzy. I’ll let you run, but you can’t resist me forever.”

Review: A Hidden Element by Donna Galanti

Title; A Hidden Element (The Element Trilogy)
Author: Donna Galanti
Publisher: Imajin Books
Page Count: 270
Genre: Paranormal/Suspense


Blurb:

Evil lurks within… 

When Caleb Madroc is used against his will as part of his father’s plan to breed a secret alien community and infiltrate society with their unique powers, he vows to save his oppressed people and the two children kept from him. 

Seven years later, Laura and Ben Fieldstone’s son is abducted, and they are forced to trust a madman’s son who puts his life on the line to save them all. The enemy’s desire to own them—or destroy them—leads to a survival showdown. 

Laura and Ben must risk everything to defeat a new nemesis that wants to rule the world with their son, and Caleb may be their only hope—if he survives. But must he sacrifice what he most desires to do so? 




When we left Laura and Ben in A Human Element, we thought that they would have their HEA. In the follow up, A Hidden Element, we a thrust 15 years in the future. Laura and Ben had their baby. So life should be grand, right? Well, their son Charlie is not your typical 14 year old. He looks different then the other kids and he has powers that he tries to keep hidden. In Hidden Element, the enemy is someone connected to Laura and Charlie. Someone from Elyon. 
I enjoyed reading about the continuing story of the characters. Charlie's character is one that most people can associate with. He feels that he doesn't fit in and is looking for a place to belong. I sure some of us have felt that way before. 
I feel bad for Caleb's character. He wants to care for his father but feels that his father's motives are wrong. He loves his parent but hates what he is doing. I hope to see more of him in future books. He is a strong character with an interesting story.
I'm not a big fan of Suspenseful Paranormal, but Galanti has a way of pulling you in. I enjoy her books. They remind me of the Leech Series by james crawford. 
When choosing to read this book, I recommend reading A Human Element first. To fully understand Charlie you need to know how Laura and Ben came to be. 
Recommended read for those Paranormal lovers.
