Release Review: Senseless Attraction - Lila Rose

Three parts. Two points of views. Never one to care what others think, seventeen-year-old, Mt. Henry High School student, Skylar James, is content with it that way. That is until she's assigned her history partner, rich-boy Kane. Being invisible at Rushton High School, is just how seventeen-year old Alexandra Harmony likes it. That is until she's asked to tutor bad-boy Tristan. What does it take to make opposite yet parallel lives collide Senseless Attraction. I have been so fortunate over the years to read fabulous five star reads. I deliberately try to select books I will genuinely love. This book, Senseless Attraction, like only a handful of others over the past six months, could quite simply make me gush. I could easily go on about the fabulous ease of the read, the dynamic characters, the intense relationships and the truly beautiful, heart felt love I sensed pouring off these pages. But it’s simpler to say – I LOVE this book!  Immediately a

Review & Giveway: The Search - Kelley Grealis

The Search (Book 2 in The Descendant Vampire Series) I actually had to prepare this read and am so happy that I did. Miss Grealis’s debut novel, The Descendant, was a fast paced, impassioned, serious read. Which had me both anticipating and dreading this read. Anticipating, because like I expected, The Search was an emotionally charged, action packed, quick read.  Dreading, because… HOLY BOOK-HANGOVER, BEXMAN!! She answered all the questions left from book 1, then I blinked and it was the climax. Followed by a beautifully crafted ending. Which had me scratching my head wondering, “What the HECK do I read NOW!” Kelley Grealis’s next edition to The Descendant Vampire Series is book 3, The Truth, out sometime this year. No exact ETA, but our girl is crazy busy typing away.  Allison Carmichael is thirsty for blood and hungry for answers. Lured away from her illicit extracurricular activities by news about her kidnapped husband, Allison rejoins her adopted fami
