Kayla Hart was loved by some, but not all. There were whispers she was a witch. However, most chose to believe she was merely a misguided freak. The sad truth was she was just unpopular and a bit shy. When Kayla went missing, everyone pretended to care. The entire community scoured her small New Jersey town looking for her. Unfortunately, this tragic story has no hero. Kayla's disappearance would remain a mystery. Only she knows why and what happened the night she became ... Unfound

Crystal's Review

Unfound (The Visitors Series)Unfound by Christy Sloat
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kayla's story.

Most of this story was stuff we had already heard, but it went more in depth. This was in Kayla's POV. Where it's not a necessary part of the series it was a good, quick read. On to the conclusion, The White Door.

​The truth can be deadly.

Brylee Branson’s best friend and boyfriend have fallen victim to a horrible curse that haunts her home. With the witches who cast it dead, she has no choice but to rely on the ghosts inside the Brown house to help her find a cure. But time is not on her side, because Lynley's illness is spreading rapidly. 

Confused and scared, seventeen-year-old Brylee must confront a new ghost in the house she has never spoken to before. This spirit is not a Brown relative and makes no promises to help them … unless she can reunite her with a loved one.

The fate of those she loves now rests on her. Can Brylee put the pieces of this puzzle together in time to save them? Or will the Brown house claim another victim? 

The Visitor’s Series continues to scare and entice its readers with this gripping second book.

I had a really hard time putting this one down, I had to force myself to so I could get a few hours of sleep last night. Already almost done with Unfound already. This series is amazing. I don't know how I let it sit on my TBR list for so long.

Some secrets should never be revealed…

Brylee Branson begrudgingly made the excruciating move with her family from the warm sandy beaches of California to small town living in New Jersey. As if she wasn’t miserable enough, they’ve moved into a creepy old house that everyone in the area claims is haunted. Brylee dismisses the idea of ghosts and hauntings, until she begins to see and hear things that can’t be explained…

Brylee has no choice but to seek the help of new friends to unlock the secrets of this place she now calls home. But some secrets should never be revealed. Can the teens find a way to release the spirits imprisoned within the walls? Or will the curse claim them, too?

This was a very good book! It was a little slow moving in the beginning but it picked up and was very hard to put down! I can't wait to read The Crimson Key. This series will go by too quick I think.

Forget all those other accidental pregnancy romances you might have read. 

Daisy and Carter don't have a one-night stand...because it's thirty minutes in a back room at a wedding reception. And Carter isn't a bad boy baby-daddy...except for the motorcycle, tattoos, and attitude. Daisy doesn't have the typical issues with her pregnancy...if you don't count the morning sickness, food cravings, and occasional horniness. And Carter doesn't hang around all the time, wanting both her and the baby...until he falls in love. 

But they definitely don't become a happy family...right away. 

Daisy has always been a good girl. She's never done anything wild or spontaneous until she has a little too much to drink at a wedding and has a fling with a sexy stranger. She thought they were careful, but accidents happen. And now she's going to have the baby of a man she barely knows.

Carter is her opposite in every way and completely the wrong man for her. They can still work out a reasonable arrangement regarding the baby. But the more time she spends with him, the less reasonable she feels. And he's acting all possessive and protective, so it gets harder and harder to convince herself that he's just the father of her baby.

She wants him to be so much more.

Crystal's Review

Complicating (Preston's Mill # 3)Complicating by Noelle Adams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The title fits this book perfectly! Emotions are complicating, life is complicating, love is complicating! Daisy and Carter learn all these lessons the hard way. What a roller coaster ride!

Publisher: Kindle Worlds
Hosted by:
Lady Amber’s PR

When stunning Deidre Torres, the new HR Director, introduces herself to Kevin O'Connor at an Executive staff meeting, Kevin's heart forewarns danger.
 
When he invites her to have coffee with him the next day, she hesitates but accepts. The following week, she flatly refuses his dinner invitation citing company policies that prohibit co-worker dating.
 
After six months of Kevin's non-stop persistence, Deidre risks her job and agrees to have dinner.
 
Deidre and Kevin follow their hearts despite the objections and advice of well-meaning family and friends who advise of the complexities of interracial dating. In a fairy tale-like wedding, they vow to each other and before the many doubting wedding guests that nothing will ever separate them.
 
Seven years later, they not only violate their vows but for the first time question the depth of their love for each other.
 
Previously unknown racial stereotypes, beliefs and differences threaten to destroy their marriage when their three-year-old son is killed by a stray bullet at a local peace rally.
 
Will Kevin's hatred of his son's killer unmask feelings he never knew he had? Can their marriage tolerate the escalating inter-family turmoil? Can their marriage survive the loss of one of God's greatest gifts?

With great power, comes great responsibility. That’s something Maya Thibodeau has found out the hard way.
Maya thought she had it all. She had defeated the man that sought to destroy everything she held dear and in the process, found the love of her life and saved her best friend. However, that was before the Loas decided to meddle in her life. If only she hadn’t signed that contract...
Now, she finds herself whisked away to the Land of the Dead and facing her own impending nuptials to the Baron Samedi.
Far from home and anything familiar, she must navigate the muddy waters of royal politics among those who would love nothing more than to see her fail. As if that weren’t hard enough, she must do it all while finding the Baron’s missing wife and battling the growing seed of darkness left by Drake.
The clock is ticking.
Only one thing is certain. War is coming and she will decide who wins and who loses…But, which side will she be on?

~~~EXCERPT~~~


“I can’t do it again. I can’t watch you walk away. I’m not strong enough. So when you tell me you’re not going back I need you to mean it because I won’t let go again.”

“Hello my child,” she said, stepping towards me. The voice was familiar, like something from a dream and it was distinctly different from the Loa’s. “You’ve grown up and become everything we ever hoped you would.”

“Be careful and remember, whatever you do, don’t be fooled by a pretty face and a few charming words. They all have that quick wit that will have you upside down and backwards before you can utter an objection.” She moved in and pressed a tender kiss to my temple and squeezed my arms much like a grandmother would. “Find Yansa. She’ll have the answers you seek,” the woman whispered into my ear low enough that only I could hear before pulling away.

 “Well, as always, it’s been such a pleasure, Marie.” Samedi’s sarcasm wasn’t lost on either of us.
Erzulie-Marie stepped back to her starting location in front of the altar. “I’m sorry for all you’ve had to endure and for all of the suffering yet to come. I hope one day you will understand and grant me forgiveness, ma belle.” Her head fell back and Erzulie twitched a few times before the glowing raven exploded forth from her chest and disappeared into thin air.

Author Spotlight/Review/Sales Blitz for Elda Lore aka L.B. Dunbar

7/18/2017

0 Comments

 
I first discovered L.B. Dunbar with her debut novel, Sound Advice.  While contemporary romance is not my favorite genre, I enjoyed it a lot.  In fact, Taste Test, from the same series, is fave from the set.  As you guys know I LOVE paranormal so when I heard she was writing paranormal romance under the pen name Elda Lore, I was over the moon excited.  I recently read HADES, Book 1 in Modern Descendants, and LOVED it.  Now is the perfect time for you to introduce yourself to Elda Lore as the entire (yes, the entire series) is on sale for less than the cost of a latte!  Check out my review of Hades and snag this series today for $0.99 each!

Hades, Modern Descendants Bk 1

Picture
Welcome to Hell.” 

Persephone Fields is just an average girl: beloved daughter and loyal friend. One night decides her Fate, when the prince of The Underworld becomes her savior and her kidnapper. 

Hades has lived centuries in darkness and sin. When he decides to save the blonde goddess, he doesn’t consider the ramifications of his decision to bring her into his realm. 

Two worlds divided struggle to find friendship in a history of family discord beyond their control. When attraction blurs the line, questions result in choices of love or loyalty. 

A modern twist of the classic myth: Hades and Persephone, this version incorporates the sensual tension of opposites divided by contemporary humanity and mythical underworlds. Also reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet, this is a love story ripe with desire. 

+++++++++++++++++ 
Author’s note: This book contains scenes of sexual intimacy. 
Mature YA/NA Paranormal Romance 

~~~REVIEW~~~

5/5

Oh my. Where do I begin...
Elda Lore a.k.a. LB Dunbar may have been nervous about jumping from contemporary romance to paranormal/fantasy romance but she need not have been. YOU NAILED IT, GIRL!

HADES is a modern day Greek mythology meets William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. Sounds sexy doesn't it? Well let me tell ya, IT'S HOT. Hades may be blue but the guy is on fire - this will make sense when you read the book.

Hades and Persephone share a love quite similar to Romeo & Juliet - forbidden and tragic. (This is not a spoiler. Remember the Greek myth of Hades & Persephone?) Their love is palpable and leaps from the pages of this story. The author did a phenomenal job with all "the feels." I laughed. I cried. I scream and slammed my kindle shut.

I am loving this side of LB Dunbar. I can't wait to see what else her alter ego Elda Lore, has in store for us.

L.B. Dunbar

Picture
Avid drinker of Coca-Cola, L.B. Dunbar loves the sweet things in life. Her affair with all things romantic began with her first book at the tender age of six: Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One can never forget her first! From there, the reading journey includes a deep love of fairy tales, medieval knights, regency debauchery, and alpha males. She loves a deep belly laugh and a strong hug. Occasionally, she has the energy of a Jack Russell terrier. Accused, yes, that’s the correct word, of having an over active imagination; to her benefit, such an imagination works well. Author of over a dozen novels, she’s created small town worlds, rock star mayhem, and MMA chaos. Her other duties in life include: mother to four growing children and wife to the one and only.

BEACH BRIDES SERIES (Rose)

 
Twelve friends from the online group, Romantic Hearts Book Club, decide to finally meet in person during a destination Caribbean vacation to beautiful Enchanted Island. While of different ages and stages in life, these ladies have two things in common: 1) they are diehard romantics, and 2) they’ve been let down by love. As a wildly silly dare during her last night on the island, each heroine decides to stuff a note in a bottle addressed to her “dream hero” and cast it out to sea!
A bottle found...
 
When his mother discovers a message in a bottle washed up on a Florida beach, Tanner Thomas scoffs at her insistence he contact the person who penned the note. With a vague promise to think about it, Tanner promptly tucks the bottle away and goes on with his life. Two years later, he finds the bottle in the back of a closet and can't get the woman off his mind. Tormented by thoughts of the author of the sweet, romantic letter, Tanner finally reaches out to the old-fashioned girl, unprepared to embark on the adventure of a lifetime.
