Seventh Night - Iscah


                        Seventh Night

                            By Iscah

 photo sevn_zpsd11aa285.jpgOnce, a boy fell in love with a girl not long before a princess married a charming prince, and if the boy had been the prince or the girl had not been the princess, this might have been a simple fairy tale romance. But he wasn't, and she was. So things were complicated. And then there were the bandits and the poison and the kidnapping and the secrets and the betrayal and the monsters and the magic, the journey across the desert and the journey across the sea, and of course that tax issue. In a land where unicorns are commonplace, life can start resembling a storybook. Everyone wants a happily ever after, but sometimes true love requires sacrifices...


First let me thank Iscah for lending me Seventh Night to write an honest review on. This was a totally awesome book and I had a hard time putting it down. Seventh Night has a bit of everything in it from your fairytale characters  (Prince,Princess,Witches and Wizards) to your mystical creatures (Unicorns,Pegues) and your non mystical creatures such as Cyclops and Two headed sea monsters. Even though this is an Fantasy novel, it was quite uncanny. In fairytales you think of happy endings/ever afters well happy anything and everything rite. Wrong, Seventh Night does have your all time romance smoochy smooch parts but it's also full of lies,deceit,deception and betrayal.

The Fallen Star - Jessica Sorensen

 photo fallenstar_zps07843dd9.jpg
For eighteen year-old Gemma, life has never been normal. Up until recently, she has been incapable of feeling emotion. And when she’s around Alex, the gorgeous new guy at school, she can feel electricity that makes her skin buzz. Not to mention the monsters that haunt her nightmares have crossed over into real-life. But with Alex seeming to hate her and secrets popping up everywhere, Gemma’s life is turning into a chaotic mess. Things that shouldn't be real suddenly seem to exist. And as her world falls apart, figuring out the secrets of her past becomes a matter of life and death.


Jessica Sorensen The Fallen Star was an awesome book. It gets a 5 in buzzing reviews a must read. It left me craving more,can't wait to get started on the next in this series The Underworld. I'm just dying to know if Alex will save Gemma one last time or turn his back on her. Gemma is not your typical eighteen year-old. With her freakish violet eyes and doesn't feel emotion of any kind.You would think that was bizarre enough but oh no things gets much worse. I could't imagine not feeling any type of emotion,it's unnatural and creepy. Speaking of creepy,could you imagine your nightmares coming to life. I would so freak the freak out....Which I would freak out a lot in this book if I was Gemma. Gemma's more tougher,stronger and powerful than she thinks...Check out the rest of the Fallen Star Series...

Books of the Fallen Star Series
Book 1: The Fallen Star
Book 2: The Underworld 
Book 3: The Vision 
Book 4: The Promise 


Happy Reading

In TURNED (Book #1 of the Vampire Journals series), eighteen year old Caitlin Paine finds herself uprooted from her nice suburb and forced to attend a dangerous New York City high school when her Mom moves again. The one ray of light in her new surroundings is Jonah, a new classmate who takes an instant liking to her. But before their romance can blossom, Caitlin suddenly finds herself changing. She is overcome by a superhuman strength, a sensitivity to light, a desire to feed--by feelings she does not understand. She seeks answers to what's happening to her, and her cravings lead her to the wrong place at the wrong time. Her eyes are opened to a hidden world, right beneath her feet, thriving underground in New York City. She finds herself caught between two dangerous covens, right in the middle of a vampire war. It is at this moment that Caitlin meets Caleb, a mysterious and powerful vampire who rescues her from the dark forces. He needs her to help lead him to the legendary lost artifact. And she needs him for answers, and for protection. Together, they will need to answer one crucial question: who was her real father? But Caitlin finds herself caught between two men as something else arises between them: a forbidden love. A love between the races that will risk both of their lives, and will force them to decide whether to risk it all for each other...

In the battle between good and evil, there's no such thing as a fair fight.
When Jayné Heller's uncle Eric died, she inherited a fortune beyond all her expectations — and a dangerous mission in a world she never knew existed. Reining in demons and supernatural foes is a formidable task, but thankfully Jayné has vast resources and loyal allies to rely on. She'll need both to tackle a bodyswitching serial killer who's taken up residence in New Orleans, a city rich in voodoo lore and dark magic.

Working alongside Karen Black, a highly confident and enigmatic ex-FBI agent, Jayné races to track down the demon's next intended host. But the closer she gets, the more convinced she becomes that nothing in this beautiful, wounded city is exactly as it seems. When shocking secrets come to light, and jealousy and betrayal turn trusted friends into adversaries, Jayné will soon come face-to-face with an enemy that knows her all too well, and won't rest until it has destroyed everything she loves most....


Wow!!! Part 2 of The Black Sun's Daughter is excuse my french but it is kick ass. It had me on the edge of my seat. Darker Angels is slam pack full of twits and turns had me guessing to the end.

Jayne takes us to the Big Easy in New Orleans for her next quest of defeating more of these bad supernatural demons. Can Jayne and her gang team up with Karen Black to stop this serial killer demon before he gets his attend victim...

In a world where magic walks and demons ride, you can't always play by the rules.
Jayné Heller thinks of herself as a realist, until she discovers reality isn't quite what she thought it was. When her uncle Eric is murdered, Jayné travels to Denver to settle his estate, only to learn that it's all hers — and vaster than she ever imagined. And along with properties across the world and an inexhaustible fortune, Eric left her a legacy of a different kind: his unfinished business with a cabal of wizards known as the Invisible College.
Led by the ruthless Randolph Coin, the Invisible College harnesses demon spirits for their own ends of power and domination. Jayné finds it difficult to believe magic and demons can even exist, let alone be responsible for the death of her uncle. But Coin sees Eric's heir as a threat to be eliminated by any means — magical or mundane — so Jayné had better start believing in something to save her own life.
Aided in her mission by a group of unlikely companions — Aubrey, Eric's devastatingly attractive assistant; Ex, a former Jesuit with a lethal agenda; Midian, a two-hundred-year-old man who claims to be under a curse from Randolph Coin himself; and Chogyi Jake, a self-styled Buddhist with mystical abilities — Jayné finds that her new reality is not only unexpected, but often unexplainable. And if she hopes to survive, she'll have to learn the new rules fast — or break them completely....
