Giveaway of Siren's Surrender

Refusing to embrace her mermaid heritage, Gwen Lonike prefers to live as a human. All she wants it to run her hotel in Port Rock Maine, in peace. But when her sister Tessa returns from the Mediterranean with news that she had inadvertently opened the gateway to a lost mermaid kingdom–and accidentally freed its dangerous queen–Gwen can no longer hide behind her idyllic life.

Covert-ops agent Blake Whittaker is far from happy when he’s assigned to trail paranormal activity back to him hometown, where he can’t escape crushing memories he’d rather forget. But when he meets and falls for Gwen, he knows he can’t cut and run. Yet how long can he hide his true mission from her? And how long can Gwen and her sisters remain safe from a nemesis bent on their destruction–and from Blake’s own superiors, whose ultimate mission could prove the greatest threat of all?

Giveaway ends February 7th at midnight.  Please leave an e-mail at which you can be reached.  The winner will have 72 hrs. to respond after being contacted.  Thanks to Ms. Quinn for giving such a lovely prize.

My Obsession with PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE is my favorite book, and I love most things Jane Austen.  I enjoy reading sequels and retellings of her novels and watching movies made from her works.  Well, I've come across a novel, that is making the rounds in the blogosphere called PROM AND PREJUDICE.  This book sounds really special.  I haven't read any negative feedback for it, and it has gone to the top of my wish list.  So, let me know what you think, if you've read it.  All opinions are appreciated.

Review of HERA: BOOK ONE OF THE GODDESS CHRONICLES

HERA:  BOOK ONE OF THE GODDESS CHRONICLES
Julien Longo
Fire Raven Press, 2010
ISBN:  978-0-9826489-2-6

Hera is living a fairly sedate life in a small village on the island of Atlantis, until her friend, Artemis, becomes injured in a hunting accident, and it becomes evident that she has untapped powers.  Hera's life changes rapidly, and she learns, that her parents have been keeping secrets about her heritage.  To further complicate matters, Hera meets and develops a crush on Zeus, who is rather power hungry.

HERA: BOOK ONE OF THE GODDESS CHRONICLES shows a different prospective of Greek mythology, than the male centric versions, that this reader is used to.  This book is told from Hera's point of view,and while at first, she seemed something of a brat, this book shows her growth and maturation into an admirable character.  I enjoyed Ms. Longo's take on Greek mythology and look forward to the next book in the series.  It was great to get the female side of things, because let's face it, females aren't usually portrayed in a very good light in Greek mythology, especially Hera.

Note:  I was sent this book in return for an impartial review.

Happy New Year and Resolutions

Happy New Year!  I've resolved to post more to my blog this year.  Hopefully, this is one resolution, that I can keep.  Last year, I resolved to lose weight.  Well, I wound up gaining.  I'm not a very good resolution keeper, but I have high hopes for this year.  Here's hoping I can make a dent in my TBR mountain.  Happy, happy New Year!

Review of DEMON'S FALL

DEMON'S FALL
Karalynn Lee
Carina Press, October 25, 2010

When Kenan, an incubus, comes across an angel for sale at Hellsgate marketplace, he decides to buy her.  Kenan plans to gain her trust, so that he can get close to her and gain her soul for his collection.  Jahel, the angel, has come to Hellsgate trying to retrieve the soul of one of her charges from a Hellhound.  When Kenan offers his aid, Jahel accepts and hopes to return to Heaven soon.

DEMON'S FALL is a paranormal romance with a likable hero and heroine and an interesting premise.  I only have one small quibble, in that, I would have liked the world to have been explained in more detail and expanded upon.  Other than this, I quite enjoyed DEMON'S FALL, especially the characters of Jahell and Kenan.  Kenan, while an incubus, is rather yummy and not so bad in the beginning.  As the story progresses, Kenan begins to fall for Jahell and to change, because of that love..  Jahel, also, begins to fall for Kenan.  During this process, they grow and change, and in the end, must chose to sacrifice for love or continue as they are.

All in all, DEMON'S FALL is a delightful paranormal read, which leaves this reader wanting more.

NOTE:  I received this book in return for an impartial review.
