Review: Changeling Moon by Dani Harper

Review:

I picked up this book for a new take on weres and I was surprised to find Dani's Changeling's were well worth the read. It was refreshing to see that Dani brings in a female pack leader for the Changelings in her debut book. Although this book is based on a different member of the pack, the leader and her mate were a fun couple to get to know too. This book is about Connor, who is a veterinarian Changeling. I found myself wrapped up in this story. From the first page, Dani mixes suspense and adventure for her characters. Although you meet many different people, each one is distinct and unforgettable. The heroine of the book Zoey is strong willed and snappy. I like her right away. She does things her way and sometimes the reader worries for her. The antagonist in the story is a bit creepy and he does some horrible acts,but the reader keeps hoping for a happy ending. Conner and Zoey have a intense attraction that can go from steamy to mellow,it keeps the page turning. The are some twists in the story which will leave the reader wanting more and glad to know there will be additions soon to this new series.

Book Spotlight: Bar None by Brigit Zahara


NOW AVAILABLE!

BAR NONE stops in for a few this November…


What do you do when you're in love with your two best friends who, oh yeah, just happen to be vampires? That's exactly what Sera has to figure out.

After a very upsetting day, she heads to Bar None and the solace of the joint's owners, Nate and Fab. Beautiful, built and possessing the kind of breathtaking animal magnetism that renders any hot-blooded woman wanting and willing, the foxy, fanged duo could, and would, take their pick of bed & bite companions if it wasn't for one thing...sex with a mortal raises a vampire's bloodlust to the point of frenzy. And that never ends well. Long story short? A hot and happy ending doesn't appear to be in the cards for the three friends. But when Sera realizes that both Nate and Fab love her as much as she loves them, she teams up with willpower wizard Fab to show Nate their own version of safe sex.

And all this time, you thought "happy hour" had to do with the drinks!

Books!Books!And More Books!




A stunning and suspenseful new landscape emerges in the thrilling Dark-Hunter world—a world where nothing will ever be the same again. . .

Fang Kattalakis isn't just a wolf. He is the brother of two of the most powerful members of the Omegrion: the ruling council that enforces the laws of the Were-Hunters. And when war erupts among the lycanthropes, sides must be chosen. Enemies are forced into shaky alliances. And when the woman Fang loves is accused of betraying her people, her only hope is that Fang believes in her. Yet in order to save her, Fang must break the law of his people and the faith of his brothers. That breech could very well spell the end of both their races and change their world forever.

The war is on and time is running out...

Demon Inside by Stacia Kane

Hanging out with demons can be hell…
It’s been three months since psychologist Megan Chase made the stunning discovery that the world is filled with demons, and once more the situation is too hot to handle. Ironically, Megan—the only person in the world without a little personal demon sitting on her shoulder—has become the leader of a demon “family,” but now some unknown arcane power is offing her demons in a particularly unpleasant fashion. And while her demon lover Greyson Dante is still driving her wild with desire, he’s also acting in a strangely evasive fashion. Then there’s the truth about Megan’s past—the truth she’s never known.
Caught between personal problems and personal demons, Megan is having one hell of a hard time. Will the help of her cockney guard demons and her witch friend Tera be enough so that Megan can finally resolve the past, survive the present, and face the future?

I loved the first book in the series and I'm hoping to read this one very soon. Here is Stacia Kane's book page so you can itch to read more Greyson Dante too.

loves a good challenge, especially when it comes to writing,
and
has a strong sense of justice that always gets me into a lot of trouble but wins me more friends than enemies.

His Grace, Rutherford - traditional, mindful of his mother and stubborn as all heck.
Lord Hawksford - trying to be proper when inside he is such a sexy freak.
Lady Charlotte - proud, but not too proud to beg for the things she wants.

Five reasons to read your books:

1.)They will make you laugh. A lot.
2.)They will make you realize that the ton was never really all that proper.
3. ) I don't do traditional plots.
