"Waiting On" Wednesday: Shadowfever

  • "Shadowfever" [Fever Series, Book 5] by Karen Marie Moning
    Publication Released Date: December 7, 2010

    Book Description:
      MacKayla Lane was just a child when she and her sister, Alina were given up for adoption and banished from Ireland forever.

      Twenty years later, Alina is dead and Mac has returned to the country that expelled them to hunt her sister's murderer. But after discovering that she descends from a bloodline both gifted and cursed, Mac is plunged into a secret history: an ancient conflict between humans and immortals that have lived concealed among us for thousands of years.

      What follows is a shocking chain of events with devastating consequences, and now Mac struggles to cope with grief, while continuing her mission to acquire and control the Sinsar Dubh--a book of dark, forbidden magic scribed by the mythical Unseelie King that contains the power to create and destroy worlds.

      In an epic battle between humans and Fae, the hunter becomes the hunted when the Sinsar Dubh turns on Mac, and begins mowing a deadly path through those she loves.

      Who can she turn to? Who can she trust? Who is the woman that haunts her dreams? More importantly, who is Mac and what is the destiny she glimpses in the black and crimson designs of an ancient tarot card?

      From the luxury of the Lord Master's penthouse, to the sordid depths of an Unseelie nightclub, from the erotic bed of her lover, to the terrifying bed of the Unseelie King, Mac's journey will force her to face the truth of her exile, and make a choice that will either save the world...or destroy it.

    I fell in love with this series after randomly picking up "Dreamfever" at the library. I cannot WAIT until this for this conclusion novel to the series!! I hope that Jericho & Mac will get together and STAY together! And I really hope that Jericho is okay ....

    Teaser Tuesdays: Almost Famous


  • Today's Teaser Tuesdays by MizB - click here



  • "Almost Famous" [NASCAR Series, Book 2] by Gina Wilkins

    My Teaser:
    All she needed was to have some reporter show up on the front porch of her hideout, hoping for a filler feature story for a slow news day.
    It wasn't as if there was anything left to write about her, she thought grumpily, but that had never stopped the local newshounds before. ~ within Chapter 1

    Made the Grade: A Bride for All Seasons Series, Book 1

    Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 528 KB | Release Date: February 2009 | Publisher: Harlequin Books

    "The Bride's Baby" [A Bride for All Seasons Series, Book 1] by Liz Fielding

    My Book Summary : Sylvie has planned so many weddings that she is now the most sought after Bridal Planner, however when one of her friends decides on ditching their groom three days before their wedding for one of her employees her whole world changes.

    Tom has just been left/dumped by his run away bride and now wants to confront the person who he would like to lay the blame on, Sylvie, especially since it was her employee. While hassling her at a meeting to go over the invoices that he needs to pay for the wedding, even though it never happened, sparks fly in more ways then one! Once the dusts settles they find they can't deny what is between them any longer, and they find themselves together in his bed.

    Afterwords, Tom leaves the country as he planned but can't get her out of his mind, while Sylvie finds out she's pregnant and plans for what will happen next, and it is all uphill for them miscommunications galore! Will the truth ever come out before it's too late?

    My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. Predictable but cute story! The good thing about it was that with all of the miscommunications between them it was written in a way that didn't make me feel like either character was annoying or make me not like one character because of how they could have acted.

    Book Teaser :
    "Tell me what he's seeing that's making him melt," Geena persisted.
    His gaze dropped to the unmistakable bulge where his baby was growing beneath her heart and, shattering the illusion, said, "Sackcloth and ashes would do it." Then, turning abruptly away, "Mark, have you got everything you need in here?" ~ within Chapter 4

    Made the Grade: Aspect of Crow Series, Novella 1

    Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 124 KB | Release Date: 2006 | Publisher: Harlequin Books

    "The Wild’s Call" [Aspect of Crow Series, Novella 1] by Jeri Smith-Ready

    My Book Summary : It's past 'the end of the world as we know it,' and for best friends Elysia and Darien that means fighting for their lives. Baltimore [and everywhere else in the world] is in ruins, money is non-existent so bartering is the only way to get by, that or stealing.

    However, past "mistakes" have lead them to drift apart for a while ..... Darien finds Elysia and tells her it's time to leave Baltimore and follow their Spirit animals. Yet, Elysia has trouble putting all her eggs into one wishing basket, she refuses to believe anything good could come from what Darien is asking. But once her life goes from worse to terrible, she goes along with him to find out the meaning is with these Spirit animals, and possibly see if they still have feelings for each other ....

    My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars. Very cute! Good characters. This is a prequel story to the full Aspect of Crow series, and I'm definitely curious as to how the community they build will work out.

    Book Teaser :
    "It's not safe."
    She whipped out the knife out of her back pocket and waved it over her head. The jagged blade was still stained with Leo's blood. "I can take care of myself, remember?"
    "If you stay, you're an idiot."
    "And if I go with you, I'm a nutbag. I'll wait for a third option." ~ within Chapter 4
