Sweet Ruin (Immortals After Dark #16) by Kresley Cole 

The next installment in the IAD series will be published Dec 1, 2015! 

Mesmerized by a beautiful supernatural creature unlike any he’s ever met, an immortal assassin is caught between desire and duty in this sizzling new novel from Kresley Cole’s #1 New York Times bestselling Immortals After Dark series

A FOUNDLING RAISED IN A WORLD OF HUMANS
Growing up, orphaned Josephine didn’t know who or what she was—just that she was “bad,” an outcast with strange powers. Her baby brother Thaddeus was as perfect as she was flawed; protecting him became her entire life. The day he was taken away began Jo’s transition from angry girl . . . to would-be superhero . . . to enchanting, ruthless villain.

A LETHALLY SENSUAL ENFORCER ON A MISSION
A threat to the Møriør has brought archer Rune the Baneblood to the mortal realm to slay the oldest living Valkyrie. Whether by bow or in bed, he never fails to eliminate his target. Yet before he can strike, he encounters a vampiric creature whose beauty conceals a black heart. With one bite, she pierces him with aching pleasure, taking his forbidden blood—and jeopardizing the secrets of his brethren.

A BOUNDLESS PASSION THAT WILL LEAD TO SWEET RUIN . . .
Could this exquisite female be a spy sent by the very Valkyrie he hunts? Rune knows he must not trust Josephine, yet he’s unable to turn her away. Despite his millennia of sexual conquests, he can’t ignore the unfamiliar longing she arouses deep within him. When Jo betrays the identity of the one man she will die to protect, she and Rune become locked in a treacherous battle of wills that pits ultimate loyalty against unbridled lust.

Waiting On Wednesday: Oblivion

Oblivion (A Lux Novel) by Jennifer L. Armentrout Release date: December 1, 2015

Experience the epic love story of OBSIDIAN as told by its hero, Daemon Black…

I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in next door, there was going to be trouble. Lots of it. And trouble's the last thing I need, since I'm not exactly from around here. My people arrived on Earth from Lux, a planet thirteen billion light years away. Plus, if there's one thing I know, it's that humans can't be trusted. We scare them. We can do things they only dream about, and honestly, we make them look weak as hell. 'Cuz they are. But Kat is getting to me in ways no one else has, and I can't stop myself from wanting her--or wanting to use my powers to protect her. She makes me weak, and I'm the strongest of our kind, tasked with protecting us all. So this one simple girl…she can mean the end for us. Because the Luxen have an even bigger enemy--the Arum, and I need to stay on my game. Falling for Katy--a human--won't just place her in danger. It could get us all killed, and that's one thing I'll never let happen...

Scary book of the month - Library of Souls

What is the underworld ferryman's name who guides dead souls on the river Styx? Is it Charon? Library of Souls has it's own tour guide and his name is Sharon.

~ Chapter 2 ~ 

Sharon the boat guide, unlike Charon who never talks, warns them of the never ending dangers of Devil's Acre but the three peculiars act as though they aren't afraid and nothing can hurt them which disturbs me a lot because I fear for their lives even if they don't . UGH!

Jacob senses the presence of a hollowgast.... who attaches himself underneath their boat and oddly listens to Jacob telling it to defend against a couple of feeders in Fever Ditch.

OMG this is getting too much already! I hate Devil's Acre! I would never want to go there! What is wrong with them three?!!

~"Holy Chapter Three! It's 62 pages long! not too bad....a lot happened I can't even begin grrr. With every chapter my blood pressure rises. damn those pictures!" "

~I really liked chapter 4. It wasn't filled with scary but it did shed some light on a few lost subjects i.e: What loops were made for to begin with and how wights and hollows came to be. We are introduced to Mr. Bentham."

Scary Book of The Month: Library of Souls by Ransom Riggs

I'm currently reading Library of Souls by Ransom Riggs as my scary book of the month, and for every chapter I read, I will be publishing a new post with a few words of my own.  #spreadtheterror

Library of Souls by Ransom Riggs 

Time is running out for the Peculiar Children. With a dangerous madman on the loose and their beloved Miss Peregrine still in danger, Jacob Portman and Emma Bloom are forced to stage the most daring of rescue missions. They’ll travel through a war-torn landscape, meet new allies, and face greater dangers than ever. . . . Will Jacob come into his own as the hero his fellow Peculiars know him to be? This action-packed adventure features more than 50 all-new Peculiar photographs. 

My Thoughts on Chapter One

What I felt about Hollow City and the children battling the Wights and monsters after coming so far over land and seas, was enough for me not to want to read anymore. At the end of Hollow City, it felt like they were all doomed until Jacob realized he had power over the Hollowgasts.
This is where we begin again in Library of Souls. In an apocalyptic future following a great battle, Jacob, Emma, and the dog Addison, are still being pursued by these monsters and now they have to find the other peculiars who might've been captured or dead. They are on the scent trail which leads them to a place the children might've been taken to; Devil's Acre. In fact, to get to it they have to cross over by boat, and the ship's captain is a 7-foot tall giant who is as tall as he is menacing.

Mother May I: (# 4 Knlght Games)

Mother May I by Genevieve Jack

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Goodreads Synopsis:

Love will launch the mother of all battles. Grateful Knight is one stressed out witch. Not only has she failed to restore her caretaker, Rick, from an evil witch’s mind-control spell, but the loss he endured extends well beyond his memory. To make matters worse, compensating for his absence could cost her the job she loves and the strength she needs. When a new supernatural threat leaves Grateful for dead, a vampire ally saves her life but at a price. Her assailant's calling card makes it clear she’s marked for death, possibly by her goddess mother. With the help of her half-sister Polina, can Grateful gain the power she needs to win Rick back and beat the goddess at her own game?

My thoughts about it:

Mother May I was a fast read and full of action. It was a good story and climax but the ending fell a little short. I am looking forward to reading more from this author in her new book about Logan. Logan is such a great character and Polina made her debut in this book who I loved as well.

The business of restoring Rick Ordenes memories was a very hard and arduous task that almost cost Grateful her life.

Her choosing whether to be with her friends and family over being Goddess is still a bit melodramatic to me. I think that word best describes Grateful all in all. The choices she made were never good.

I am a little disappointed about the caretakers' role as well and what happened to him. He had the potential of being a constant rock and someone Grateful could trust and rely on, but when he lost his memory he changed from being superhuman to a passive shell of a man. I loved him more in the first installment.

A Christmas Novella: Dec The Holls

Dec the Holls by Jasinda Wilder

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Goodreads synopsis:

A week before Christmas, and all through office not a soul is stirring, not even a mouse. Holly is working overtime, cold and lonely and broke. Across the hall, Declan is lonely too, and thinking this christmas is going to be a joke. Then one blustery night Holly’s car won’t start and Declan is there to help with a little love in his heart. Open this gift from bestselling author Jasinda Wilder to find out if a single mother of two can let herself fall in love with her sexy-as-hell workaholic boss.

Another sex fantasy. I mean you know she wants him, but she thinks he's too good for her. It's Christmas Eve, and Holly is working overtime again just to pay the bills. Declan is her boss who never paid much attention to Holly before until the day she forgot her purse in her office. He thinks why hadn't he noticed how beautiful she was before? Meanwhile, she is stranded outside in the cold, crying her eyes out because her car wouldn't start. She left her phone in her purse too. Coincidentally Declan sees a lone car in the parking lot from her office window and takes advantage of the situation and decides to go and help her cause you know he doesn't want to spend Christmas alone.  *rolls eyes*, To be honest, it's been a long time since I've read one of these. It has no chapters, and it was a treat.
