Review :

*I have received an ARC from Netgalley for an honest review* * 

Penny is a hard working driven women who is currently dating a coworker, things turn a little sticky when she finds some suspicious evidence that can lead to helping a kidnapping case. Rather then going to the police she gots to Kadin who is on the case. Kadin is works his own investigations after the death of his daughter, he wants more then anything to help others that are in his situation. He's the one to handle all the cold cases. The more things get looked into the more dangerous it gets when both realize that a hooded person is following Penny.

Overall I thought it was a great thriller. I loved that there was always something was going on whether it was the drama with the case that was going on or the attraction the two are giving into. I loved that there was the dual POV. I loved that there was just enough to keep the readers guessing who it could it be. I loved getting to know the history of each characters. I loved that from the very beginning of the book the author has the readers hooked to the book from the very start, leaving the readres wanting to know more and to not put the book down. As you can see, I really enjoyed this book and think you readers will love the book as much as I did.

4.5 stars!

The hunted becomes the hunter as the past threatens a small Texas town once again… 

Rancher Brody Fields stops cold when he receives a plea for help from Rebecca Hughes.

For Brody, the job is risky, but the real danger is their unexpected Texas-sized attraction. As they uncover answers to difficult—and deadly—questions, Brody has a question of his own: Can he trust the woman who once shattered his heart?

Review:

Rebacca as a child was kidnapped as well was her brother only she was able to get away. Its been 15 years and she still relives the past and is not over the fact that her brother could just be gone. But when a strange coincidence happens on the 15th year to the day of the kidnapping she was had the strange sense that he was back. The kidnapper was back to finish was started and she no longer feels safe. Brody an old flame of Rebecca's becomes her body guard and slowly together they piece together the mystery of brother and find who is after her.

Great story, I loved that the mystery kept things interesting. I loved that this book wasn't all focused on the romance making the mystery of her brother and kidnapper a background thing... Do you know what I mean? There are many books that I've come across with the same theme at the story but the mystery fades to the background once the romance start leaving the readers to question what happened and how everything did solve. I loved the story line. I loved that there was so much going on to keep the readers interested and hook. Loved the ended you might end up getting choked up after reading the epilogue. (Just a warning) Overall I loved this story.

Review : Blackout

Blackout By Chris Myers

Genre: New Adult Romance, Suspence, Drama, Dark, Contemporary

Release: April 2015

Goodreads : Click

Some memories should be buried…

The blackouts started happening when I was eight. There are long periods of my youth I don’t remember. I’ve woken up in strange places, feeling disoriented and unaware of how long I’ve been out.

After two years abroad attending a private school and sessions with a top-notch psychiatrist, I’ve been deemed cured. The blackouts have ceased, or so I thought, until I wake up in a ditch back home in North Carolina. Dare, the guy pulling my broken body from the wreckage, has a restraining order against him. He’s no longer the clean-cut boy I went frog gigging with but road-hardened. His lean, muscular arms, riddled with tats, drag me out of the SUV. I should fear him, but instead, his touch sparks memories that tell me I once worshipped him with all my heart.

 Wow, this was a fantastic book. There was enough drama, mystery and steam to keep to keep the readers wanting more. Then there was the twist and turns to keep the readers on the edge of their seats at other points. I loved this book. The characters were interesting, there was the dual point of view and a back stories on characters to make the readers love them even more. I loved watching the attraction between Dare and Teal. As the story unraveled I loved that it wasn't so easy to guess and just when you think you know whats going to happen something else throws you to a different assumption. 

Overall I found this book interesting, with a unique story line and vivid description of things that were occurring throughout the book. I loved this and would recommend you lovely readers to check out this book.

Review : Deadly Little Secret

Deadly Little Secret by Laurie Faria Stolarz

Genre : Suspence, Mystery, Romance, Paranormal, Young Adult

Goodreads : Click

Pages: 252

Published December 23rd 2008 by Hyperion 

Some secrets shouldn't be kept...

Up until three months ago, everything in sixteen-year-old Camelia's life had been fairly ordinary: decent grades; an okay relationship with her parents; and a pretty cool part-time job at the art studio downtown. But when Ben, the mysterious new guy, starts junior year at her high school, Camelia's life becomes anything but ordinary.

Rumored to be somehow responsible for his ex-girlfriend's accidental death, Ben is immediately ostracized by everyone on campus. Except for Camelia. She's reluctant to believe the rumors, even when her friends try to convince her otherwise. She's inexplicably drawn to Ben and to his touch. But soon, Camelia is receiving eerie phone calls and strange packages with threatening notes. Ben insists she is in danger, and that he can help-but can he be trusted? She knows he's hiding something... but he's not the only one with a secret.

From the best-selling author of Blue is for Nightmares comes a story of paranormal romance that's sure to be a thrilling and chilling teen favorite. 

I was looking for a new book to read in my local library ebooks selection when I came across this book. I am familiar with the authors previous series Blue is for Nightmares I had read years back. So I decided to take a chance on this book. The good side of reading this book was that it was short, the sucky side was that it was slow at some ends and rushed in others. Another thing I've noticed and it looks like many other readers have noticed is that it seems a bit like Twilight for a good chunk of the book dangerous new guy, saved by a moving vehicle with stalkerish wierd tendencies. What I did love about this book was the mystery and drama throughout the book. I loved that this book kept me guessing. Overall I did really enjoy this book. I would rate is 3 1/2 to 4 stars. If you like short paranormal mystery books then this is for you. Or if you like the book twilight and are looking for something close to that book then this book is for you.

The Mind Thieves

The Mind Thieves by Lori Brighton (The Mind Readers #2)
4 of 5 Stars
Format: Ebook
Genre: Paranormal, Fantasy, Romance, Adventure, Suspence
Pages: 228

Summery

After Cameron got out of her mysterious coma she moved to the islands with her grandma working at a bar on the beach livings a perfectly good life. That was until a stranger showed up walking straight towards her at the end of her shift. Eventually she finds that there are more like her (Mind readers) and that the man had come to fetch her to bring her to her father who was supposedly dead or was it missing? Before the guy could bring her quietly people appeared at her grandmothers also with the intent of taking her also.

My Say:

I'm not sure why I wrote 4 of 5 stars. There was a bit of love interests. Lots of chases and things going on. Plenty of bad guys appearing that may be good guys that are just misunderstood  This book was fast paced. I liked the Cameron questioned everything but it drove me crazy that even if she asked certain things nothing got answered.

I don't know what to say something about this book rubbed me the wrong way. Normally a book this interesting would get 5 stars but not sure whats up this time.  The ending is a bit of a cliffhanger but for some reason wasn't surprising. Maybe it was too predictable.
