DAMN!! I cannot be more excited for a new Marissa Meyer book!! OMG!! Secret Identities. Extraordinary Powers. She wants vengeance. He wants justice. The Renegades are a syndicate of prodigies―humans with extraordinary abilities―who emerged from the ruins of a crumbled society and established peace and order where chaos reigned. As champions of justice, they remain a symbol of hope and courage to everyone...except the villains they once overthrew. Nova has a reason to hate the Renegades, and she is on a mission for vengeance. As she gets closer to her target, she meets Adrian, a Renegade boy who believes in justice―and in Nova. But Nova's allegiance is to the villains who have the power to end them both. |

1. So you have two books out right now in the Elizabeth Gardener Series! What can we look forward to next?
I am working on a prequel with a working title of "Baldie Chronicles." And...other stuff, not necessarily Gardner and Hadley. 2. You write Adult Romance ever thought of venturing into another genre. Yeah. I have notes on a variety of genres, not all romance or adult romance. It's like driving; you don't want to be in the same gear all the time. 3. What inspired you to write the Elizabeth Gardner Series? I got tired of reading/seeing love stories where the heroine is no older than 29 years, 364 days. And a skinny little thing (with big boobs) waiting to be saved. People put their romantic lives aside until they get older for a variety of reasons. It's real life, it happens. Worthy, strong heroines come in different shapes, sizes, and experiences. The classic "tall, dark, and handsome" can fall in love with those women. And sometimes, it's Prince Charming who needs to be saved. 4. So many people describe your main characters as complex, what kind of real-life issues do your characters deal with that readers can relate to and what inspired you to write about such topics? Liz is a breast cancer survivor, difficult childhood survivor, and believes that if they made a movie of her life, she'd be a supporting character. A few years before "These Foolish Things" begins, she's undergoing her breast cancer experience, and before that, she was caring for her mother who was difficult, unkind, and dying of lung cancer. As for Ty, he also had a difficult childhood. It can teach you not to trust anyone completely, don't let anyone get too close. He keeps his emotional distance from the women he dates. He is a successful litigator and a workaholic. Unfortunately, he is an alcoholic as well. I grew up in an alcoholic and emotionally abusive family. I know this territory. 5. Any reason why you choose to have sports play a part in your story? In my working life, I've played on company softball teams, in fact, at the very fields in the North End of Boston that start the story. Our team actually did (accidentally) hit a dog, a bicyclist, and a bocce player. Not all in the same game. Why not use it? Also available onA graveyard late at night wouldn’t seem like the ideal place to meet someone. But for teenager Katey McCoy, that encounter with the handsome stranger with the striking blue eyes would alter her life in ways she’d never imagined. Orphaned as an infant, bounced around foster homes, labeled as a discipline problem, and now under the thumb of an abusive foster mother, Katey’s been slipping deeper into depression. Who would want a girl with such an ugly face, an imperfect body, or wild hair? But Logan Keith knows the truth about Katey: she’s beautiful. Her flaws are in her head. Besides, he has issues, too. And a secret that could tear apart their growing relationship. Logan is a werewolf—a loup-garou—with his own troubled past and a flaw that’s considered a handicap in his world. A secret, supernatural world he soon introduces Katey to. Although Logan longs to make Katey part of his pack, it may be impossible for them to be together. In his pack’s history, there’s never been a female werewolf. No woman has been able to survive the transformation. Will Logan’s desire give Katey the escape to a better life and the love she’s always dreamed of, or will he be signing her death warrant?
Meet Elizabeth Gardner. She’s given up on being anything but a single woman who plays a supporting role in the lives of those around her. Fate, however, has a different plan for her. During a softball game, handsome, successful Tyrone Hadley literally runs into her and a stealthy kiss opens a world of new possibilities to her. What might have been “happily ever after” in most stories is just the beginning. Is love strong enough to survive?
For Marco, heir to the lions' throne, seizing control of the Cave of Whispers from the bear clan is more than just a quest—it's fulfilling the legacy of his breed. But the latest crusade has left Marco gravely wounded in enemy territory and in the hands of Alicia, healer for the bears. An irresistibly sensuous adversary, Alicia presents a serious problem. She carries the scent of a mate.
Drawn to this dominant master of his den, Alicia knows her allegiance has been compromised. His brooding sexuality is testing her defenses, but falling in love with Marco means falling in league with a rival shifter. And turning her back on the bears in a time of war is a lethal move. Two breeds united by destiny could inspire a peaceful new future for their opposing clans—or ignite the fiercest battle yet and destroy all of Deep Creek forever.
This was amazing!!! I had not read any Shifter Novels before picking up this series but I am not sure how any can beat Kerry Adrienne!! The romances are steamy and LOVED following Alicia's and Marco's story!! She finds him wounded after the battle of the bears and the lions and even though they are enemies she tries to heal him and he tries to protect her from his clan!
Marco had a bad rap in the first books in the Shifter War series and I was worried where this book would go with his story but I loved every second of it! Kerry is doing an amazing job continuously weaving new information about Deep Creek and The Cave of Whispers throughout the series but like the past books, I still feel like there needs to be more/better motivation behind the shifter rivalries...This was the only reason I took off half a star in my rating! I could not put this story down! I loved seeing characters from the previous books and how they all worked with one another. This new love story I was worried I couldn't jump on the bandwagon but Kerry had me drawn in from the very beginning!
Fantastic story!! I hope this isn't the end of stories from Deep Creek! I would read every single one!

Amazing sequel from Jennifer Siddoway!! As a book published from a smaller press this YA story really holds its own with any book published from one of the large publishers!!! The first story reminded me so much of The Mortal Instruments and was even better in my opinion! Devil's Due follows Wynn as she is starting her first year in college and reminded me a lot of The Vampire Diaries!
There is so much I want to rave about but with all the twists and turns and shocking moments almost anything I say could be a spoiler!! The romance is just swoon!! We see most of the characters from the previous book in this sequel and I was so excited for some of them to return!! One of the side characters is reveled to be a medium of sorts and I LOVED her role in he book!! The ONLY negative thing I can say about this story is that I would have liked to see more of the other realm in this world! I would love to be able to explore the other beings that we hear so much about in the story but very rarely see but a few of them! Again this story is beautifully woven. well thought out and an absolute roller coaster ride of emotions in all the best ways!! I cannot wait to read Book Three!!
Amazing story! An absolute must read for any YA Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Romance lover!
After a wicked Halloween showdown with the vigilante ghost of a Voodoo Priestess, clairvoyant Bridget Quinn is hoping her life will finally cool off. Winter never poses much of a threat to the Nation’s Oldest City where there’s no shortage of Holiday Spirits when the blazing Florida sun sets. Again, the Ancient City is plagued by mysterious murders, this time masked by arson.
Hearse-driving Ghost Tour Guide, RIP Ryder, drowns his staggering guilt with excessive intoxication while Officer Nick Maddox’s heart breaks as Bridget’s peculiar behavior escalates. RIP has an epiphany, recognizing Nick and Bridget’s paranormal vexation as the work of RIP’s ghostly nemesis from years gone by... Can RIP rally the troops to save Nick and Bridget before the flames consume them all?
Just as good if not better than Book 1 in the Moon Series, Matanzas Moon Ablaze still features beautiful St. Augustine and just like book one captures the historically haunted feel of the city. Elizabeth Raven has a magical way of capturing the essence of St. Augustine. . . I feel like I am there!
Bridget and Nick *swoons* needless to say I ship it!! I loved how much we are able to learn about RIP and his past in this sequel! The pacing is suspenseful and exciting and sets the perfect tone for this eventful story! This second book has a darker feel to it than the first but it works with the plot seamlessly! While the story is great I am almost more excited about this cover!! It is a huge step up from Matanzas Moon! The characters are lively and I felt like they could be my best friends!
This spooky paranormal romance is perfect for any lover of the occult! It is fantastically written and I never wanted it to end!
