Review: Hyena Moon

Title - Hyena Moon
Author - Jeanette Battista
Series - Moon #3
Genre - Young Adult Paranormal
Publication - May 22nd 2012
Format - Physical Copy from Author

Synopsis

Miami is still in the hands of the wereleopard clan. Sekhmet's assassination has been dealt with, and Samara's attempt to take over the city has been stopped for now. But things aren't simple for Kess, especially now that she has Samara's son, Rafe, to deal with. While others see only a spy, Kess is determined to help the damaged young man abandoned by his mother.


Rafe is torn: his mother left him in the hands of the wereleopards, presumably to die, but Kess has treated him more like a guest than a prisoner. But Rafe still feels a sense of loyalty to his werehyena pack, and he's uniquely placed to gather information that his mother will need if she ever hopes to take Miami. Things grow even more complicated for the young werehyena when Cormac's non-were sister comes to town for a visit. Rafe finds himself fascinated by the girl, finding more and more reasons to question his loyalty to his pack.



Rafe knows his mother isn't done with Miami or Kess. In the final bloody conflict between wereleopard and hyena, which side will he choose?


Review

The third book in the Moon Series. This book is written from Rafe’s point of view for most of it. He’s spent his life being abused by his sister and his mother she tends to take her anger out on him. When his mother takes him with her to a meeting in Miami hoping to push Kess into giving her control of the city she’s forced to choose between her kids. She ends up taking his sister with her leaving her son Rafe in Kess’s care to do as she likes. Living with Kess isn’t like living with his mother, she’s kind she let’s have the run of the house, all he can eat and even takes him shopping.
When Cormac’s sister shows up unexpectedly she’s drawn to Rafe almost from the start. As a non-were and the fact that he doesn’t trust Rafe she’s instructed to never go anywhere alone.  Of course as teenagers they push the limit, falling deeper in love but Rafe hasn’t ever fit in, now he’s been giving a second chance. Deep down he wonders if his mother left him with Kess to spy and when fate steps in he’s whisked away with his sister back to his mother. Rafe wants to believe that his mother didn’t leave him with Kess to die, that she knew what she was doing. Upon seeing his return she makes him feel welcome but the next morning he learns that his sister kidnapped Lenore and they think Rafe caused it. Will Rafe be able to earn their trust and save Lenore?
I really love the way the stories all mingle together, since I grew attached to prior characters in the series. I love the shape shifting concept for the series it’s one of my favorite. I think the best way to describe the series is we have Kess’s story but as the series progresses we get different characters we connect with hearing their own unique story. Each story tends to have a love story mixed throughout which is one of my favorite parts I love clean romance filled with mystery. As with the whole series they have captivated my attention right from the start, causing me to lose all track of time. The characters have grown so much from the prior books, I find Kess to have grown the most from the once scared little leopard. I find that the Moon series is very well written flowing along smoothly from start to finish.  I look forward to reading the fourth book.

Silver-White by Shawn Underhill

“The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”
~ Robert Frost

*Evie’s family has been holding out on her …

Big time.

On an unexpected visit to her grandparents’ house in New Hampshire’s secluded North Woods, the sixteen-year-old literally runs into the truth of the long-hidden family secrets, and finds herself thrust without warning into the clandestine world of the Great North Pack—a wild and exhilarating world of rugged beauty, heart-pounding adventures, and long nights running under a sea of stars … but as she’s set to discover, a world also fraught with potential dangers lurking in the shadows.


Praise
 "Simply put, this book was amazing. I've read more fantasy novels than than I can count, but this one is certainly one of the best. The heroine isn't some wishy-washy pansy that screams at everything, and the focus of the story isn't on some unbelievably beautiful teenage girl who suddenly becomes the biggest, baddest member of her species falling in love with some big, bad, sexy member of her newfound species. It's about a girl becoming something she never knew existed, finding her place within the pack family she values more than ever before, and an age-old feud that threatens everything she loves." ~Morgan

Throwback Thursday!

Throwback Thursday January 31st 2013


Throwback Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by The Housework Can Wait and Never to fond of Books.

It's the nature of book blogging to focus mainly on new releases, but there are thousands of great books out there that haven't seen the "New Releases" shelf in years. We hope to be able to bring attention to some older titles that may or not be at the top of the current bestseller list, but still deserve a spot in your To-Be-Read pile.

You don't have to be a book blogger to participate! You can put up a Throwback Thursday post on your non-bookish blog; or if you don't have a blog at all you can use the comments to tell us about a book your remember fondly.


And NOW! We’re expanding! Throwback Thursday is no longer limited to just books! Throwback Thursday is dedicated to shining the spotlight on any book-related old favorites that need to be remembered.What’s your favorite classic television show or movie adaptation? What about your favorite song? Was your favorite toy a character from a book?
Here’s how it works:
  • Pick any media (or non-media item) released more than 5 years ago. Remember to keep it book-related!
  • Write up a short summary (include the title, author, and cover art, if applicable) and an explanation of why you love it. Make sure to link back to The Housework Can Wait and Never Too Fond of Books in your post.
  • Link up your post at The Housework Can Wait or Never Too Fond of Books.
  • Visit as many blogs as you can, reminisce about books you loved, and discover some “new” books for your TBR list – or some other classic!
My choice this week is my all time watch it over and over movie. 


Beettlejuice 
1988
(IMDB)
Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder

Storyline
Adam and Barbara are a normal couple...who happen to be dead. They have given their precious time to decorate the house and make it their own, but unfortunately a family is moving in, and not quietly. Adam and Barbara try to scare them out, but ends up becoming the main attraction to the money making family. They call upon Beetlejuice to help, but Beetlejuice has more in mind than just helping. 

My thoughts:
I can't say enough how much I love this movie. Like last week's Dirty Dancing I've worn out many copies over the years. I actually watched it just the other day in anticipation of writing this little post. I can admit that I've watched this movie once a month for years it's one of those movies I can listen to while I read and still enjoy it. Even though it was done a long time ago I love the concept and Beetlejuice is my favorite character, he's such a nut. I've been such a huge fan of the movie that I've decided to get a tattoo of a sand-worm curling around a stack of books. I don't know if I could bring myself to tattoo Beetlejuice himself on my body but the sand-worm and the books I think fit me perfect. 

What's your throwback this week?

Review: Jackal Moon

Title - Jackal Moon
Author - Jeanette Battista
Series - Moon #2 
Genre - Young Adult Paranormal
Publication - April 13th 2012
Format - Kindle ebook

Synopsis

Laila has been pledged to serve the jackal god, Anubis, since she was a child. She wants nothing more than to follow in the footsteps of her father and brother and become a member of the Keepers of Divine Order. When her initiation into the Keepers leads her to Miami and pits her against the wereleopard Sekhmet, Laila is cast into a sea of clan intrigue and bitter rivalries. The stakes grow even higher once the rival pack of werehyenas, led by the beautiful and bloodthirsty Samara, decides to lay claim to the wereleopard’s territory. With the arrival of Kess, the true wereleopard clan leader, and her retinue of werewolves, violence threatens to erupt. Will Laila’s training and skills be enough to save the young werejackal and everything she’s worked for? The scales are ready and Anubis awaits...

Review


Jackal Moon takes off not long after Leopard Moon however we are introduced to Laila a werejackal who is training to become a member of the Keepers of Divine Order. Her father has retired from the Keepers but her older brother is currently working with them. She’s almost ready to join the Keepers when her brother comes to town and takes her with him off to Miami. The way the Keepers of Divine Order work is they are kind of like cleaners. If someone needs to be disposed in the shape shifter community those who know how to contact them will make a offering and a request. After everything that happened in Leopard Moon Kess’s brother Sek isn’t in the best of shape even though he’s healed.

When Laila and her brother are sent to pay Sek a visit it’s her brother who sends her in to kill Sek and take his heart. However instead of fleeing like she expected her brother has her hang around and it’s not till she meets Sek’s sister Kess and her two werewolves companion’s do things start to click together. Laila also meet’s the werehyena’s leader who is dying to get her hands on the city of Miami and with Sek’s death she sees her chance. Kess needs to figure out who killed her brother she has her suspects, thankfully she’s not alone her boyfriend Cormac is with her as well as his cousin Finn. Together the trio will learn who the werejackal’s are as well as find more than they bargained for with Samara the werehyena.

I was super excited to read more of Kess’s story however even though it starts after Leopard moon the book centers around a few new characters. We only had a taste of who Finn was in the first book so Jackal Moon gave us a new insight his personality. Plus we had the added new characters of Laila and Samara which each have their own stories to tell which captivate the imagination. I knew right off the bat I didn’t like Samara I mean her story makes sense but it’s hard not to dislike her. I wasn’t sure at first how I felt about Laila, I spent the first half of the book on the fence I wanted to love her as much as I did Kess but she for me was hard to relate too. However as the book progressed and we had some interaction between Laila and Finn I started to like her more. I think Jackal Moon is a great addition to the Moon series. The book flows along smoothly from character as the mystery unfolds. I really enjoyed Jackal Moon and look forward to starting the next book in the series.

Review: Leopard Moon


Title - Leopard Moon
Author - Jeanette Battista
Series - Moon #1
Genre - Young Adult Paranormal 
Publication - March 4th 2012
Format - Ebook Kindle

Synopsis 



How do you disappear when you come from a family of predators?



A wereleopard, Kess is forced to flee her home and family in Miami once her brother's obsession with her turns violent. She runs from city to city, trying to stay one step ahead of the investigators her family has dispatched to bring her home. Kess ends up in the mountains of North Carolina and attracts the attention of Cormac, a young man with a secret of his own. As she attempts to live as normal a life as her were-nature allows, her brother Sek continues to hunt for her. He believes she is the key to revitalizing their weakened clan and is driven to extreme measures to ensure their continued existence. As Kess' relationship with Cormac deepens, Sek closes in, threatening Cormac's life and Kess' freedom.



When the moon rises, the hunt is on….

Review


Kess was born a wereleopard, but things at home changed after her first shift. Her older brother who she used to look up to has decided that to save the clan he needs to use his sister to help strengthen the line. When her brother crosses the line Kess does the only things he can and runs for her life leaving the safety of her Miami home and her father. She moves around a lot avoiding her father’s investigators but when after a call to let him know she was ok she settles in California working in as a waitress. When she hears a stranger outside she runs fearing that her brother’s investigators have found her. She decides to run heading back towards the east coast only staying more north. Wereleopards prefer the warmer tropical climates so she doesn’t expect him to find her.

She finds a job working at the local restaurant where she meets Cormac who finds her interesting. However since she’s on the run she’s resistant to have anything to do with the handsome college guy. She attempts to be resistant to his charm but she finds herself attracted to him. Knowing that the time will come where she may have to run she attempts to discourage him. When he finds her car in the forest and follows her scent trail fearing something may have happened to her does she learn that he’s a werewolf and he that she’s a leopard.  After the cat is out of the bag she decides not to fight their connection. The pair instantly connects but life isn’t simple, Cormac’s father doesn’t like the idea of Kess in town, and her brother is still hunting her.

I’ve been dying to read Leopard Moon since I first ran across it; thanks to the tour I was able to push it to the front of my list. I’ve been a huge fan of shapeshifter books preferably the feline concept more so than wolves. Maybe it’s because I’ve got cats right now, and can’t have a dog. I’m a huge fan of Kess as a character she’s just so easy to relate to my heart went out to having to deal with hiding from her crazy brother. I was so excited that she connects to Cormac because his character is a perfect complement. The relationship between the two fits perfectly he’s so sweet patient and kind with her. With Cormac she learns to really live the life she never had the chance to growing up in the clan. I found the whole concept captivating I had a hard time putting Leopard Moon down because it just draws you into Kess’s story right from the start. The story is very well written it just flows along so smoothly it was easy for me to lose all track of time. Plus it’s a clean romance so teens as well as adults will enjoy it. I just really loved everything about Leopard Moon, the characters are great the story is captivating plus it’s cover is beautiful. I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into the next book.

Top Ten Tuesdays


Top Ten Tuesday with Mandy!!
This week's topic is:
Top Ten: Mandy's Top Ten most frustrating Characters ever (or in my case 2)

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke And The Brookish. Who doesn't love lists. They make life easy! And fun!! It's always a never ending topic.

This one is tough it's been a while since I was frustrated with a character in a book.

1. Anita Blake by Laurell K Hamilton - She drives me nuts since she's inherited Jean Claude's aurder her books have been more smut less kick ass bounty hunter. She was my favorite for so long now it's more of a struggle to read her books. I would love to see her commit to either Richard or Jean Claude but jeeze she's sleeping with everyone now a day. I could rant about this all day I think.

2. Kristen Stewart playing Bella Swan in Twilight - Her constipated face through all the movies drives me nuts. I loved the books I just wish someone else had been cast as Bella. So not the character but the actress who plays Bella really frustrates me.

Alright this week I can't think of anyone else in books who frustrates me as much the above two.

Who are your most frustrating characters?

Blog Tour/Review: Evie's Knight

GRAND FINALE!!

On tour with Prism Book Tours

Our awesome Tour in images:

We announced the NEW COVER on the Tour Launch:

Original Cover                                   Our Shiny New Cover

Synopsis

A steamy, yet clean Romance Novel. 
When Evie falls in love with Calvin Knight, their young, virtuous romance conjures a truly wicked spell. 

Evie always thought her eighteenth year would be magical, but so far it's not what she hoped for. Her best friend has gone wild, her love life is void, and she misses her mom more than ever. But life for Evie is about to change. Calvin Knight, the object of her fascination, is about to fall madly in love with her. Just one problem: Their love conjures a murderous woman from beyond the grave who wants Evie dead. The same demon who has haunted the Knight men for over four generations. Soon Calvin is forced to make a choice: Set Evie free and hope to evade the wrath of The Raven- haired Ghost, or use his newly gifted strengths to fight against her. If he chooses to fight and wins, Calvin will free the Knight men of this demonic witch. If he loses, Evie will become her next victim.

Review

I received Evie’s Knight in return for an honest review as part of the tour hosted by Prism Book Tours. Evie is finally done with high school she’s moved on to college where she’s taking art classes and hoping to enjoy her life. Her best friend Kelly has decided to move out and live in a caste with a zillion other roommates and getting a job so that between school, work and parties she won’t have time for Evie. Which makes her sad but she’s not into the kind of parties that Kelly has been going to. Thankfully Evie has a love interest that she happens to share an art class with. The Handsome Calvin Knight, who she’s been crushing on but just hasn’t gotten to know.

When Calvin suddenly wants to spend time with her, showing an interest in her art Evie is head over heels. They each have their own stories as to the loss of their mothers, be it deceased or just abandonment. Things change as Calvin starts to fall in love with Evie, an ancient evil that has haunted the men in his family for generations has her heart set on destroying Calvin’s relationship with Evie. A long time ago Calvin’s great-great grandfather rejected Jocelyn’s desire to join her in the underworld. She vowed to ruin every chance at love that he and future generations had, she also intends to claim one of his descendants as her own and has her eyes set on Calvin. With the help of a new friend, his brother and some special powers Calvin may have what it takes to save Evie.

I found Evie’s Knight to be a perfect mix of romance and fantasy. I found the concept for the storyline intriguing it drew me in right from the start and I had a hard time putting it down over the couple of days it took me. I found the story well written it flows smoothly throughout the whole book. It’s one I can see teenagers as well as adults enjoying because even though it’s a romance it’s a clean one. Throughout the book we are given perspectives from both Evie and Calvin which I think is great because I was able to connect to both characters. I think Calvin is perfect for Evie though him she’s be able to move pass the obsession of her mother not coming back, plus when her best friend moved on she needed someone strong to be there for her. I enjoyed the fantasy aspects also, they keep the story fresh and exciting it’s very enjoyable. I look forward to seeing what else Kimberly Krey comes up with because for me this one was perfect it’s exactly what I want in a book.
