    Made the Grade: ParaRealm Series, Book 1

    Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 447 KB | Release Date: March 2011 | Publisher: Tholden Press

    "Fierce Dawn" [ParaRealm Series, Book 1] by Amber Scott

    My Book Summary : When they were younger Sadie and her little sister, Heather, had to be the ones to make sure that everything was okay with their mother. Especially with her ramblings, non-legible journals, and antics that some days made them wonder if she should be in a loony bin or not. It also didn't help that there was no one who would voluntarily help them out.

    Now years later, they've both have grown up and their lives have definitely changed ... or at least Sadie's has. Two years ago, after their mother past away, Sadie did somethings that were like her mother's antics, so much so that Heather now asks like a mother hen to Sadie now, controlling her every move. Sadie understands her sister's concern but things are getting better for her. She has a good job (even if it doesn't pay), a sweet friend, and she is agreeing to therapy. Plus, there is this really hot guy who visits her job a lot that she would love to meet. Things are good ... now if only Heather would see that.

    However, Sadie is keeping a secret ..... she keeps having dreams of that hot guy that visits her job. And not only romantic ones either. Could this mean she is becoming more like her mother then ever before? Is she going to go crazy at any moment now?

    And right when Sadie thinks she just might have gone crazy ... her world and everything she thought she knew gets turned upside down.

    My Book Review : 3.8 out of 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!! This is an intriguing new series with a storyline that hooked me from the beginning. This series seems like a mixture of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series, the X-Men, and R. G. Alexander's Children of the Goddess series all wrapped up in a new different and exciting way!!

    The characters are great to read, I loved the back stories and the twists that came along the way! I'm really curious as to what will happen next ... to Elijah's friends (new and old) and to Sadie's family. Also .... to see how/if Sadie's powers will grow!! I do hope that even though in the coming books in this series Sadie & Elijah will be secondary characters, I hope that they will still have decent size rolls in the series. Since my only problem with this novel was even though it ended really good, I still thought it ended too soon ... plus the cliff hanger (of sorts) in the epilogue really doesn't help much at all. =0/

    Book Teaser(s) :
    Elijah took in her visage and pulled back. "Sadie, I cannot keep kissing you."
    "Wow. Um, you sure know how to make a girl feel special, Elijah." Sadie sat up, the pain gone. Embarrassed over her reaction, she tried to pretend she didn't know he saw her lust for him. "I didn't think we'd really practice playing boyfriend girlfriend. I mean, between being chased by immortals and watched by human haters, I think I can actually manage my family wondering who you are." ~ within Chapter 15

    "Waiting On" Wednesday: Clockwork Prince


  • Today's "Waiting On" Wednesday by Jill - click here


  • "Clockwork Prince" [The Infernal Devices Series, Book 2] by Cassandra Clare
    Publication Released Date: December 6, 2011

    Author's Book Description:
      In the magical underworld of Victorian London, Tessa Gray has at last found safety with the Shadowhunters. But that safety proves fleeting when rogue forces in the Clave plot to see her protector, Charlotte, replaced as head of the Institute. If Charlotte loses her position, Tessa will be out on the street—and easy prey for the mysterious Magister, who wants to use Tessa’s powers for his own dark ends.

      With the help of the handsome, self-destructive Will and the fiercely devoted Jem, Tessa discovers that the Magister’s war on the Shadowhunters is deeply personal. He blames them for a long-ago tragedy that shattered his life. To unravel the secrets of the past, the trio journeys from mist-shrouded Yorkshire to a manor house that holds untold horrors, from the slums of London to an enchanted ballroom where Tessa discovers that the truth of her parentage is more sinister than she had imagined. When they encounter a clockwork demon bearing a warning for Will, they realize that the Magister himself knows their every move—and that one of their own has betrayed them.

      Tessa finds her heart drawn more and more to Jem, but her longing for Will, despite his dark moods, continues to unsettle her. But something is changing in Will—the wall he has built around himself is crumbling. Could finding the Magister free Will from his secrets and give Tessa the answers about who she is and what she was born to do?

      As their dangerous search for the Magister and the truth leads the friends into peril, Tessa learns that when love and lies are mixed, they can corrupt even the purest heart.

    I love this author's two series' so far ... and the worlds they are set in! I can't wait to see where she'll take her characters and see who will be together at the end of the journey.
