I have a curse
I have a gift

I am a monster
I'm more than human

My touch is lethal
My touch is power

I am their weapon
I will fight back

Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.

Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior.

With Brace back by her side and the melding bond again secure, Abigail should be happier than ever. Right? Well, there’s still that little rodent problem of hers. The Seventine.

Six of the evil energy sucking entities are free and with the convergence fast approaching, there is no doubt that the final battle will be fought soon. All that stands between the Seventine and the end of the First World star-system is Abigail, the other half-Walker females and a gathering of races from across First World.

Abigail has never had so much to lose, but when everything is on the line, you fight with everything you have. She will never give up. But in the end, will she be able to save everyone?

My Opinion

The Seventine are free and waiting for Abby and her gals to confront them. Since they are missing the seventh gal they must find her first. Abby, Lucy, Brace and Colton head to Earth. They run into Chrissie again and she is the leader of a group of gals that are taking on the gangs. So they are able to find the half-walker they are searching for rather easily. What they discover there is well pretty amazing. Returning to Earth was easy, getting off of the planet not so much.

The fearsome foursome return to First World with the missing half-walker in tow. She meets the other five girls from there on it is non-stop action packed fun. The pacing of this one is just like the all of the books in this series- spot on.

Brace and Abby are one of my favorite all time couples. Colton and Lucy are another. Yea- I am totally fan-girl shipping these relationships. These hard Alpha males are confronted with these non-Earth girl girls and have to adapt. It is pure entertainment, once you are introduced to them though you will be happily reading, hoping and yelling right along with them.

Final thoughts on Earth- what a fabulous way to end a series. I do not want to let Abby, Lucy, Brace and Colton go. I want to sing the authors praises from the highest skyscraper tops. My fingers and toes are crossed that she will re-visit this world again.

Thoughts on those that haven’t started this series yet- you need to. Like yesterday need to.

My Rating 5 out of 5 stars

"What is this?" she asked, breathless.

A smile curled up the corner of his mouth.

"Magic."

He brought his other hand to the nape of her neck, beneath her silky braid, and pressed his lips against hers, breathing her in. Tasting her mouth, which was even sweeter than he'd imagined it would be.

Now that is how you kiss someone- with a little bit of magic.

Waiting on Wednesday (3) Assassin’s Heart

Hey y'all, thanks so much for stopping by my WoW!

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

In the kingdom of Lovero, nine rival Families of assassins lawfully kill people for a price. As a highly skilled member of one of these powerful clans, seventeen-year-old Lea Saldana has always trusted in the strength of her Family. Until she awakens to find them murdered and her home in flames. The Da Vias, the Saldanas’ biggest enemy, must be responsible—and Lea should have seen it coming. But her secret relationship with the Da Vias’ son, Val, has clouded her otherwise killer instinct—and given the Da Vias more reason than ever to take her Family down.

Racked with guilt and shattered over Val’s probable betrayal, Lea sets out to even the score, with her heart set on retaliation and only one thought clear in her mind: make the Da Vias pay.

With shades of The Godfather and Romeo and Juliet, this richly imagined fantasy from debut author Sarah Ahiers is a story of love, lies, and the ultimate vengeance.

Why am I waiting?

Fantasy is not my normal read but come on y'all- her loves family kills her own. Vengence is on her mind- and they are liking it to The Godfather! The real question here is why aren't you waiting with me?

Review: For Seven Nights Only

Kelsie Reed is over bad luck and bad men. Newly dumped, she’s now the pathetically single maid of honor in her sister's wedding—and her ex is the best man. Her bad luck continues when a plumbing meltdown in her apartment sends her sexy neighbor running to her rescue. He’s got "serial dater" written all over him, which is unfortunate because the man is hot.

Sawyer Chase loves women, but settling down? He’ll leave that to his brothers. But when Kelsie confesses she’s a dating disaster and is about to become the laughing stock of her family wedding, Sawyer takes control. He's got one week to teach her how to land the man of her dreams, and he’ll do it on her terms: no touching, no kissing, and definitely nothing more.

But some rules need to be broken, especially when, for once, there’s something on the line worth fighting for…

My Opinion

Playful read, one that had me laughing from the beginning to the end.

Kelsie’s little sister steals her dream wedding, her ex is the best man, and everyone is expecting her to fall apart. Kelsie doesn’t though, instead she gets organized. She is determined to show up to this wedding with her head held high and her arms around a handsome guy. Except dating well- it isn’t really her thing. She is not sure how to go about doing it, and umm she is a little awkward at times.

Sawyer’s roof is wet which can only mean one thing- the person above him is flooding. He runs upstairs to find a gal, a doggie, and a mess. He steps right in to lend a hand. That’s when the night gets interesting- Kelsie needs help dating (he did just ruin a date for her) and Sawyer well he is the king of dating.

Kelsie has some spunk to her, which is nice to see in a leading lady. The chemistry between these two is pretty hot, even with her rules. Kelsie has seen the type of women Sawyer brings home- she doesn’t want to add to his list. She does acknowledge though that she needs help. Sawyer does know what he is talking about. It is the logical thing to do. Her puppy does steal the show a few times- but can you blame him?

Sawyer starts off as a playboy- yet he is so much more than that. There is a rational around his playboy ways that is bittersweet. Really, he is a hottie with some depth. There is a moment in which we get to see Sawyer’s family and get caught up on their lives again. The siblings love and are there for each other in a way that isn’t always seen in our society.

Seven dates- there is a lot that can and will happen in seven dates. Will Kelsie become dateable? Will Sawyer stop his playboy ways? Will someone throw her cheating ex off the boat- of her dream wedding? A gal can dream can’t she? This one is a fast read so if you are looking for a romantic yet fun story this is it.

My Rating 4 out of 5 stars

Favorite Quote “Men don’t like drama.” Understatement of the century.

Waiting on Wednesday (2) The Siren

Hey y'all, thanks so much for stopping by my WoW!

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

From Kiera Cass, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Selection series, comes a sweeping stand-alone fantasy romance.

A girl with a secret.
The boy of her dreams.
An Ocean between them.

Years ago, Kahlen was rescued from drowning by the Ocean. To repay her debt, she has served as a Siren ever since, using her voice to lure countless strangers to their deaths. Though a single word from Kahlen can kill, she can’t resist spending her days on land, watching ordinary people and longing for the day when she will be able to speak and laugh and live freely among them again.

Kahlen is resigned to finishing her sentence in solitude...until she meets Akinli. Handsome, caring, and kind, Akinli is everything Kahlen ever dreamed of.

Falling in love with a human breaks the Ocean’s rules. But for the first time in a lifetime of following the rules, Kahlen is determined to follow her heart

Why I am waiting?

It is really hard to find a good siren story- it is one of the paranormal species that has yet to be tapped into. Plus, could you imagine not being able to speak for fear of killing someone with the sound of your voice?
