Heart don't fail me now, Courage don't desert me, Don't turn back now that we're here

I have fell in love with a new book and series called: "The Iron King" by Julie Kagawa .... Meghan has always felt like she doesn't quite fit in with her surroundings, but with her best friend by her side she has made it through. Till the day of her sixteenth birthday strange things start happening around her and she has a feeling that someone is stalking her ... and everything that she has known beginnings to change ... Yet she never would have guessed the truth .... she is half-fey half-human and her father is a powerful faery king. Now everyone keeps saying she has these great powers and because of this she is caught in the middle of a war that is beginning to brew. And the main question is ... How far will she go to fight for ones she loves?

4.5 out of 5 stars! It's a fast paced, imaginatively written, and a page-turner from beginning to end! I cannot wait for the "The Iron Daughter" [Yet to be Released]!!! *sigh* The characters were AWESOME!! The story is a little mix of "Peter Pan" [the faery aspect], "Alice in Wonderland", and "Cinderella" ... love it I do!

You told me that you'd wait forever, Oh and when you held my hand, I knew that it was now or never

There wasn't enough shuffle in the "Kansas City Shuffle" by Talya Bosco ... since at the beginning of the book it says, "Kansas City Shuffle: When everyone thinks one thing is happening, when in reality something entirely different is going on." ... Well that's a crock! Since what you think happens in this book does happen ... plus its so washed out with what the author wanted of romance that it kills the scenes a bit. =0P I give it 2.5 out of 5 stars. Maybe some of her other books are better. =0/

Spring is here, The sky is blue ... Birds all sing as if they knew

Can two people who agreeably loath each other have a happy marriage .. to each other? "With This Ring, I Thee Dread" by Ruth Ann Nordin challenges that question. 'Ryan Jackson and Elizabeth Valentine can't stand each other. Unfortunately for them, their parents get along great and decide to play matchmaker in a very unusual way. In order to keep their jobs, they will have to get married and spend four months in a remote Alaskan cabin. They accept the terms but are determined that their parents' ruse will never work.

And it all goes according to plan...until Ryan decides he wants to stay in the marriage. Then all bets are off.' [Taken from Ruth's website since it explained it a lot better then I could.]

2.5 out of 5 stars. It's funny I thought that the previous book that I read was a little to rushed but this one was just a little too slow paced. =0P I like Ryan and Elizabeth as characters ... but as the story builds and levels off in the middle ... it kinda just doesn't go anywhere for a couple of chapters and gets boring .... then it rushes in the end. So, that just ruined the book for me. =0/

Maybe you like it better though .. you never know. *shrug* For more information on this book or any of Ruth's other books, then please check out her website.

Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.

"Colters' Woman" by Maya Banks is about what you'll do for the one who completes you. Holly is running from her life that is suddenly falling apart .... and right into the arms of the Colter Brothers. However, after one glance the brothers know they don't want to let go ..... will Holly feel the same? And if so .. will she allow them to help her make it through the troubles that are after her?

4 out of 5 stars. I like how the Maya made this book into something more then just a quick romp type of book .... you get to see the caring and compassion that each of the brothers and Holly feel for each other.

Cyber Stalking -- Romantic Gesture or Scary Predator?

"Cyber Cinderella" by Christina Hopkinson, was a HUGE disappointment!!! I could only make it through the first 20 pages or so before I got bored and had to force myself to finish ..... and THEN it turned out to be a crappy ending! WOW! I mean the title just didn't work out for me since when you think "Cinderella" you think the one who's behind it will be the "prince" but ...... *shakes head* 1 out of 5 stars!

All I know was that I didn't like it ... which is upsetting. =0( If you read it I hope you like it better.

And if you've read it before ... what did you think of it???

It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough, It's giving more when you feel like giving up ...

In "NOT anything" by Carmen Rodrigues, Susie feels all alone and that if something happened to her no one would even know it happened. She's an A student ... has goals to become a great songwriter ... loves her best (and only) friend ... but ever since her mother died, a few years ago, she has been lonely. She goes through her days waiting for her father to notice her, so much so that she has been taking care of herself and doesn't feel like a she's in a family unless she hangs out at her best friend's place. However, her friend has been MIA lately since she now has a boyfriend .... and the loneliness gets worse. Then her writing teacher asks her to tutor Danny Diaz (a popular high school Junior) and suddenly her life starts to change .... and she's forced to face the past that she has been trying to hard to keep at an arms length.

4 out of 5 stars! Susie is a strong character ... sweet ... and funny .... I could relate to her, which made me like it even more. Not that I had to go through any parental deaths growing up but she feels like a school outcast in a way and has made her life revolving around only her close friends/family and she's shy enough that she just doesn't know how to change ... until this guy enters her life and without knowing how it happens the things or people she thought were definite in her world start having new meanings. It’s a great coming of age story .... where you get to see how Susie tries to deal with her hand in life. It's just very touching and witty.
