Bite Me by Parker Blue

Bite Me (Demon Underground, #1)Bite Me by Parker Blue
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ms. Blue does an excellent job of creating an exciting intriguing setting in which creatures of the night are real and the knowledge that there are humans who know they exist are palpable. Parker Blue’s writing is fluid, crafty, and enticing as she draws us into Val’s world. The secondary characters were well-developed and had a purpose throughout each book in the series, which only increased the depth of the plot. I was completely engrossed in Bite Me, Try Me, Fang Me from beginning to end.Read More...

Saving June by Hannah Harrington

Saving JuneSaving June by Hannah Harrington
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Saving June is a compelling story that deals with death in an honest, realistic, relatable way. In addition, it addresses other issues that teenagers struggle with on a daily basis in their plight to find their own way in life. As I write this review, there is a part of me that’s smiling because maybe now June is finally at peace, but there is also a part of me that’s sad for all of the pain and anguish that June, Harper, her family and friends had to endure. Fear is an amazing catalysts that has the ability to make heroes or destroy lives and Ms. Harrington has definitely done a wonderful job of showing both sides of this coin in Saving June. If you haven’t read Saving June, I strongly encourage you to pick it up today because it will give you reason to ponder many things in life the same way as Harper and her friends try to “Save June”. Bravo Ms. Harrington!. You have definitely hit a home run on your debut novel.Read More...

I liked the story, the idea, and the different spin. At times I liked Timothy and at other times not so much. But that’s good to have in a character who isn’t really good or bad. Read More
