What Gifts She Carried

(The Grave Winner #2)

Leigh Baxton just wants to pick up the pieces of her life—if you could call it that—but someone keeps resurrecting the dead. These new zombies have a knack for spilling Leigh’s precious blood, something she was warned about by a certain pair of undead sorceresses.

Desperate to find out why they’re here so Leigh can put the nightmares behind her, she must learn more about the gifts she carries. With Tram’s training sessions and clues from her mom’s past, Leigh begins to piece together what she’s capable of.

Too bad there isn’t a Cliff’s Notes version to saving the world.

The zombies have teamed up with followers of the darkest sorceress who ever lived, and they’ll play a wicked game until she’s freed from her prison inside the earth. When the battle to the death begins, Leigh must rely on friends, crushes, and even her enemies to win the war, but not the grave.

About The Grave Winner (Book #1)

Leigh Baxton is terrified her mom will come back from the dead — just like the prom queen did.

While the town goes beehive over the news, Leigh bikes to the local cemetery and buries some of her mom’s things in her grave to keep her there. When the hot and mysterious caretaker warns her not to give gifts to the dead, Leigh cranks up her punk music and keeps digging.

She should have listened.

Two dead sorceresses evicted the prom queen from her grave to bury someone who offered certain gifts. Bury them alive, that is, then resurrect them to create a trio of undead powerful enough to free the darkest sorceress ever from her prison inside the earth.

With help from the caretaker and the dead prom queen, Leigh must find out what’s so special about the gifts she gave, and why the sorceresses are stalking her and her little sister. If she doesn’t, she’ll either lose another loved one or have to give the ultimate gift to the dead – herself.

My Review:

Leigh Braxton cannot catch a break. She just wants to get back to her normal life, but unfortunately that's not going to happen. What Gifts She Carried picks up right after where the Grave Winner left off, plunging Leigh and her friends right in the thick of the action again, facing more nightmarish situations and undead creatures than anyone should have to face. 

 

Lindsey R. Loucks has created another fast-pasted and thrilling read that will leave anyone sitting on the edge of their seats, wondering what is going to happen next. Leigh is a fantastic main character to follow through the story, and it's the fire she has to conquer this evil that makes her a force, as well as her friends who are willing to stand beside her.

 

With plenty of twists and turns, as well as lots of undead fiends out for Leigh's blood, this book is the perfect match for anyone who loves a good horror. Be warned, it might be best to consume this book with the lights on.

The Romeo Club

by Rebekah L Purdy

Release Date: 03/25/14

YA CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE 

Summary from Goodreads:

THE ROMEO CLUB is Hitch meets The Secret of My Success.

What happens when you agree to help your brother “de-nerdify” so he can catch the attention of the popular Chloe Anders, and to everyone's surprise, he actually lands her?

And what if his equally geeky friends come running with girl wish lists of their own, offering money for your services?

Well, if you’re sixteen-year-old, Delyla Denson, then you start The Romeo Club. A secret club where she’ll teach these guys how talk, act, and be cool around girls. It’s a win-win situation.

She’ll get enough money for the awesome prom dress she’s had her eye on, and the guys, well, they’ll get dates and maybe learn how to do something other than beat the next level on their video games.

There are only two problems with this plan. One, her quarterback/track star boyfriend is getting jealous of how much time she’s spending away from him and decides to try and figure out what’s going on. And two, Delyla is kind of falling for her brother’s BFF, Trey who she’s been hanging out with a lot more. And who thanks to her help, has caught the attention of the beautiful, perfect, and popular, Portia Rickard. With Portia and Trey heating up, Delyla realizes that maybe the person she’s meant to be with has been in front of her all this time.

But falling for Trey means she’ll have to take drastic measures including sabotage, with a capital S.

My Review

Delya has the looks, popularity and know-how to give her nerdy brother, Drake a makeover to win the girl of his dreams. When the makeover works better than intended, Drake's friends are all eager to get Delya's help too. That's when Delya decides to form the Romeo club - and earn a extra cash for the perfect prom dress as well - a club that will help teach boys how to dress and how to talk to girls. Things become a little bit complicated when Delya realises she's interested in Drake's best friend - and someone she's known practically for all her life - Trey. How can Delya keep giving him advice to win the girl of his dreams? Or will she do anything - even sabotage - to get what she wants?

Rebekah Purdy has created a light and entertaining read with The Romeo Club with bits of romance and tragedy tossed in with the humour, and this author sure knows how to work in the humour without making it see forced. Delya's and Trey's chemistry was pure electricity at times and I just wanted to keep turning the page to find out what was going to happen next.

I would certainly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a light romantic comedy to read, or anyone who loves watching the Big Bang Theory (I could definitely see some of that thrown in the pages).

How to avoid the curse of the bad sequel

No one sets out to do a bad sequel. But there are a lot of them. Especially movie sequels (The Hangover 3, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights).

So here’s how I tried to make I Am Forever a worthy sequel to my best-selling debut novel What Kills Me.

Make sure the story evolves. Readers love franchises because they want to spend more time with your characters and see what happens next. In What Kills Me, Axelia aka Zee dies and unwittingly becomes the most feared vampire in the world. She’s hunted across continents. At the end of the novel, a stunning revelation changes everything.

I Am Forever picks up from where we left off. It answers several key questions: How does Zee further evolve as the most powerful vamp in history? How does the vampire Monarchy handle her? What happens to her human family?

Don’t just redo the first. So many sequels are a rehash of the first story. What Kills Me was simply an introduction to a new world. The formula for Zee was simple: run, fight, survive. I Am Forever is so much more complicated. Zee stops running and her emotions and the weight of everything that has happened catch up to her. She faces new dangers, new powers and new rules.

Create new conflict. Conflict drives every story. A sequel needs new threats and more difficult struggles. Your characters may have overcome challenges in the first installment but as in life, there are always new surprises in store.

Stay true to the characters... The chemistry between Zee and Lucas is a fan favorite. I was careful to honor their connection in I Am Forever. But Lucas and the Monarchy don’t mix. So the more entangled that Zee becomes with the Monarchy, the more she alienates the love of her undead life.

...but flesh them out more. Zee’s been through a lot. I threw her down a well filled with blood and then sent vampires and soldiers with pointy objects after her. (And I’m not sorry!) In I Am Forever, she’s just as out of her element as she was in the first book. The Monarchy is a messed up place. And they’re at war with rebels. This place will test Zee like never before.

There's no cure for the pox, the deadly disease that's decimated most the population. Kat, one of the lucky survivors, trying to get to her last living relative, has decided the best way to stay alive is to stay alone. But that is until she meets Dylan who has no one else to live for. Convincing Kat that it's safer to stay in numbers, they start off on a journey through the barren wasteland to a new life. That's only if they can survive the disease, bands of armed and deadly children, and piles of burning pox-infested bodies.

Shauna Granger has written a different post-apocalyptic story and I was surprised at how the story turned out. Kat is also a different heroine in this type of story. She wasn't born and raised for this life. Far from it. As it does say Kat would 'rather drink lattes and read magazines' than be in a fight for survival. This is what I really liked about the story. She is just an average teenager who has really had to learn and adapt to her new environment in order to survive, which is especially hard since she doesn't have anyone to help her out but her own mistakes (which she can learn from) and instincts (which she develops).

Granger's writing is beautifully descriptive and she was able to describe all the settings and actions wonderfully, which kept me engrossed in the story. The only part of the story that I found a bit lagging were the beginning chapters where Kat is alone. I just wanted her to do something, but alas nothing much happened. And then two things occurred. Kat met Blue and Dylan, and the story really picked up the pace and held my attention all the way to the end, giving plenty of twists and turns with an ending that has me beginning for the next story.

I definitely look forward to the next story from Gardener, and I would recommend World of Ash to anyone who loves post-apocalyptic stories.

About The Corridors of the Dead (Book #1)

Long ago, a mysterious being known as The Lost Aetelia crafted an elaborate series of Watchtowers, along with their resident guardians, the Aetelia, to watch over the Universe. In time, they sent a select group of their own to Earth, tasked with watching over the fledging human race. This group used humanity to challenge the established structure of the Universe. A bitter war ensued, and these rebels, who had come to be known as Watchers, disappeared from history.

The time of the Aetelia – now known as angels – is returning. After a fateful night of violence, Artist Matty DiCamillo finds herself drawn into this world by a mysterious savior, who becomes a driving force in Matty’s new life.

Both driven by and fighting the words of prophecy that lay out her destiny, Matty, her lover Kristy, and her best friend Daniel, follow this mysterious savior on a journey from Northern California to Las Vegas on a path that crosses through the boundaries of time and space.

As Matty struggles to understand her destiny, she discovers that her savior may not be what she seems, and that even the denizens of this twilight world have no idea what lurks behind the stage dressing of reality. Matty finds herself not only racing to rescue the woman she loves, but learning that she herself could be the cause of the Universe’s day of reckoning.

Author Interview

1. Where did you come up with the inspiration behind the book? It’s impossible to talk about inspiration for this book without discussing inspiration for the entire series. It began with the idea of turning the “hero’s journey” trope on its head; I just needed a mythological framework to do so. I found it in the Enochian Magick system. Enochian was created in the 16th Century by John Dee, a well-known occultist and agent to the throne, and his assistant Edward Kelley. Dee and Kelley claimed that angels provided them with lost knowledge regarding the metaphysical structure of the universe. I studied the system as a teenager and it kept coming back to mind during the formative stages of planning this series, so eventually I accepted the setting as the series’ fate.
2. What inspired you to write your first book? Like any other kid, I told stories with my toys from a very young age. I can’t remember the exact age, but I began writing those stories up at some point. Around age 12, after reading mostly fantasy, I got deep into Stephen King’s novels. Not long after, I wrote my first book, The Reaper’s Blade, as part of a class project. Talk about aping King, the story was about a bloodthirsty machete haunted by the souls of the people that it had killed. I even hand-bound the thing in a cardboard cover before turning it in. That experience hooked me on writing.
3. What books/authors have influenced your writing? See the mention of King, specifically the Talisman. For those who haven’t read it, the book is about a young boy who has to travel cross-country (and cross world) to rescue his dying mother. It’s an interesting twist on the coming-of-age road novel. It absolutely grabbed me and wouldn’t let go.
4. What was your favourite scene to write? I had tremendous fun writing any scene that involved the character of Jazshael. He originally came from a dream, where he served as a guardian angel for a family – actually a story that became a “trunk novel”. This version might once have done such a thing, as there’s a core of a decent being in there somewhere, but he’s become unstable, narcissistic, and power-hungry. He’s the Joker of the series and is a lot of fun to write. My particular favourite is the scene where he informs his former apprentice, Grabbe, of the political situation within the enemy’s organization, making his points with physical and psychological jabs.
5. What was the hardest part of writing your book? Revisions. I enjoy planning a book and writing the first draft is usually a breeze, but revisions consume way more time and require a lot more thought than even plotting, as you’re dealing with words and sentences at the micro level. I’m fortunate to have a great critique group who have helped me grow as a writer and better identify those spots that need work, but it’s always a gruelling exercise. Worthwhile, but tough. 
6. How do you overcome writer's block? I write every single day, even when I don’t want to or feel like my emotions are locked up. When I feel like that, I focus on writing just enough to “show up” for that day, 100 to 300 words, maybe a snippet of dialogue or something like that. I have to get something on the page. It keeps me primed for the days when the words flow more readily.
7. What are your current projects? I’m writing the first draft to the next book in this series, City of the Dead, and am in the revision stage of a literary novel that I plan to shop around to traditional publishers. That one is called Came to Believe and is about a small-town dentist who happens to be a sex addict and his struggles after his wife dies.
8. What book are you reading now? Sleights of Mind, a book that examines the neurological tricks used by stage magicians and how those tricks can help advance the study of the science of the human brain. It has lots of interesting brain hacks and information on how the brain works. I favor literary and dark fantasy fiction, but every now and then I like to read a good psychology, science, or history book. Keeps you sharp.
9. If you could have dinner with any fictional character who would it be and why? Dean Moriarty from On the Road (based on the real-life Neal Cassady). I would love to pick the guy’s brain about his exploits and better understand his philosophy – or lack thereof.
10. Do you have any advice for other writers? The simplest possible advice there is: just write. Whatever you do, write. It doesn’t have to (and usually won’t) be good, it simply has to exist and help you get used to expressing yourself through the written word. Pick a sane weekly word count and try to hit it as often as you can. You can slowly up the amount as you get used to writing such a volume. The idea here, however, is not to churn out stories as quickly as you can – a lot should be revision, in order to hone your craft. It’s a painful cliché, but it’s true: the one defining trait of writers it that they write, no matter what.

The Skinwalker's Apprentice

by Claribel Ortega
Release Date: 02/24/14

Summary from Goodreads:

Her last year of high school is turning out to be the worst yet, and Emerald thinks it can’t possibly get any worse. Unfortunately for her, she’s dead wrong.

East Hampton, NY 1658: The Pennyfeathers are the black sheep of their small English settlement. As hard as they try to keep the family secrets just that, the magical bunch just can’t seem to fit in. But when a High Priestess witch chooses 16-year-old Margo Pennyfeather as an apprentice, Margo’s luck finally begins to change. What she doesn’t know, is there’s a lot more to her apprenticeship, and to being a witch, than she could ever imagine

My Review

In the Skinwalker's Apprentice the reader follows the story of two characters, one a 1600s witch, Margo Pennyfeather, who comes from a poor family and is chosen to train as an apprentice to the head priestess to become a powerful witch. The other character is a 1980s witch, Emerald Kipp, who lives with her aunt and has to keep her powers hidden from everyone around her. 

Ortega has created a strong plot that interweaves two characters stories set three hundred years apart. Both characters have a hard time trying to fit in to a normal 'teenage' society within the time that their story takes place. The writing is strong and Ortega describes the struggles brilliantly without getting bogged down with too much detail, as well as making the characters relateable.

I liked how the story kept moving between Margo and Emerald's story, but I did find Margo's story to be a lot more thrilling and moved at a more frantic pace, which made me want to rush through Emerald's story just so I could get back to Margo's.

Overall, this was an interesting story and I would recommend the Skinwalker's Apprentice to anyone who loves books on witches or magic.

My Review

In the third and final book of Janine Caldwell's Time Vortex series, Trent goes back to the same day he originally saved Cassie, now he can control his jumps, to save her 'properly. But things aren't going to be that straight forward. First, Cassie can't remember Trent, but after showing Cassie her old journals she falls in love with Trent all over again. And then there's her life. Her tennis career is a complete success, but her personal relationship with Jeff is more real than it was originally in her other life. When a man in search of Trent his whole life, Dr Ethan Fox finds Cassie, he kidnaps her in order to get Trent to come to him.

 Caldwell has created a thrilling end to a series. The characters and story are complex with lots of twists and turns, and with it being about time travel it was great to see all those complex story threads. Even though it was a sci-fi book, I was pleased that if focused more on providing a thrilling read, especially regarding Cassie's kidnapping, which definitely provided a page-turning read. 

 Overall, Deuce is an excellent ending to a thrilling series and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves time travel stories.
