Sacrifice by Cayla Kluver Book review
Publisher: HarlequinTeen Australia
Pages: 448pgs
The Story
The Story
This is not the time for the fight to
end.
Now is when the fight
will begin.
This is the time to
regain what has been lost.
Alera. Queen of a fallen kingdom,
secretly in love with the enemy.
Shaselle. Daughter of a murdered father,
rebel with a cause.
One lives behind the former Hytanican palace
walls and walks the razor's edge to keep the fragile peace in her beloved
homeland. The other slips through the war-torn streets retribution for her
family's tragedy, following whispers of insurgency.
Both face choices that will separate them from
those they cannot help but love. As their stories intertwine, a conspiracy
ignites that may end in slavery or death - or lead to freedom anew, if only each
can face what must be sacrificed.
My thoughts.
Sacrifice is Cayla Kluver's last instalment of the Legacy trilogy
and with her final story I was certainly not disappointed. Cayla Kluver writes
and creates a world in which the reader disappears into. She creates a unique world
with likeable characters and a series that one would certainly go back and read
again in the future. As always it’s
always sad to see a favourite series come to an end, but Cayla has certainly
tied this series up for me and I was not at all disappointed.
Sacrifice is written within two pov’s – Alera’s and also
Shaselle’s, both characters that were certainly intriguing to read about. I enjoyed Alera’s character much more so than
Shaselle , there was just something I didn’t really enjoy about her character. But we all can’t have characters that we love
lol.
Alera played her role throughout this series, she changed
and grew as the story progressed and we can see this through each and every
story put forth. She grew up a lot and
realized the important aspects of being whom she was destined to be. Some
mature decisions were made , which I found that to me made her the person she
grew up to be.
The romance with Narian will give your heart a little flutter.
He was swoon worthy, sexy, with great strength and personality. Definably
suited to Alera. (( no spoilers here))
lol
Over all, Cayla has written Sacrifice with an engaging storyline
that runs fluent from front to back page. A little romance for all the
romantics out there, action, adventure and growth within some very likeable
characters. A series I can say go read
for yourself be your own judge and I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
Thank you to Harlequin Australia for supplying me this book for my honest opinion for review ;)

Covet by Melissa Darnell Book Review
“Dangerous to be together.
Painful to be apart. Savannah Colbert knows she broke up with Tristan
Coleman for the right reasons. Most of all, to keep from killing him with her
new vampire abilities. But try telling her heart. Now, lost in a sea of hostile
Clann faces, Sav tries to come to terms with what she's becoming and what that
means for her future. And that someone is doing their best to bully her into
making a terrible mistake.
Tristan can't believe Sav
won't even talk to him. If being apart is her decision, fine. Just don't expect
him to honor it. But even as he prepares to fight for the girl he loves, forces
beyond their control take them both in directions neither could have foreseen or
prepared for.
A reckoning is coming... and
not everyone will survive.”
MY REVIEW
3 1/2 stars
Covet is book two in The Clann series by Melissa Darnell. The first book was a great introduction into the series and I certainly enjoyed it enough to continue on with book two which I enjoyed more so.
(( Covet ))
Melissa Darnell will draw you into her world, giving the reader vivid descriptions and a world that as a reader you will find imaginative and alluring.
Her Characters are certainly likeable enough - the struggles they go through with love and life, each and every one of us has certainly experienced sometime in our lives. Conflicts, battles within and moments where your life seems unsure.
The love is a little whiney at times, Between Tristan and Savannah they really want to be together but can’t be, that I found at times a little frustrating. But none the less being a romantic at heart I enjoyed the lovey dovey romance anyway . ( I cant wait to see how this pans out in book three ))
The story created has many possibilities and the storyline was captivating, leaving me wanting book three for sure. It is a well paced story, giving the reader a roller coaster ride of emotions, with each page or chapter giving us a little more into the characters and the world that she has created.
This series is yes another ya story with Vampires, but it’s intriguing and will certainly pique your interest with the indifference within.
No spoilers or hints for this book lovely readers, read the blurb, grab book one and read away!
Thank you to Harlequin Australia for supplying me this book to review for my honest opinion.
Pst I do love the Aussie cover.

Temptation by Karen Ann Hopkins Book review
That's what my friends and family say.
But I love Noah.
And he loves me.
We met and fell in love in the sleepy farming community of Meadowview, while we rode our horses together through the grassy fields and in those moments in each other's arms.
It should be
ROSE & NOAH
forever, easy.
But it won't be.
Because he's Amish.
And I'm not.
My review.
3 1/2 stars.
Temptation by Karen Ann Hopkins is a thrilling forbidden romance.
Rose is 16 years old and has just moved to Meadowview where the community is Amish. Here she meets Noah and an attraction is instant. However – A love like this isn’t easy. The relationship has to remain within themselves. Being able to be together is not an easy love affair.
There romance is forbidden but filled with Temptation. A wonderfully balanced contempary romance filled with many obstacles.
The storyline is different compared to what I have previously read. I’ve never read a story about Amish and must say that it enlightened me on a few things related to this. Hopkins put forth enough information regarding the Amish to enlighten the reader throughout the story without boring the reader along the way. It was certainly interesting.
Noah and Rose were likeable characters. Emotionally the relationship was a roller coaster ride. But no matter what Obstacles were put forth they loved each other and cared just the same. The relationship did move a little quick in the beginning, not really getting to know each other first; however the storyline and romance came through as realistic to the reader. The relationship did come across at times as young and naïve, bad choices by not thinking things through and also the lack of communication between the pair often caused a few barriers. But once again this is realistic in first romances and loves.
Noah came across as controlling at times, this I didn’t like a lot. I think due to his beliefs this sometimes interfered with his ways and wished that Rose stood up for herself more. Or maybe the fact that they were both naive and teenagers.
The author changed Pov 's between the chapters I found this great, it gave us an insight into both characters.
The author put forth all descriptions well with just the right amount of depth. Everything was well outlined, giving us vivid descriptions that we filled with enough of everything to give us a great visual within the story. The writing was fluent and well paced.
Temptation was filled with suspense, romance and action and I look forward to reading more of this series. I enjoyed the different storyline, and the Amish life was certainly put forth well. Hopkins certainly did put through this well.
Thank you to Harlequin Australia for the review copy for my honest opinion. I must say that I do love the Australian cover so much better !!

Violet Midnight
 |
| Add caption |
Let the Hunt begin…
Blending in with
her college co-eds proves difficult for vampire Hunter, Emma Martin, considering
the mystical tattoo on her wrist glows whenever Vamps are near. And after three
months of silence, the glow is back with a vengeance.
Jake Cunningham
witnesses Emma, a violet-eyed beauty, using unimaginable powers to fight off a
fanged creature. Finally, after two years of searching, he may have found out
what he’s become—a Hunter, like Emma.
** Review for Violet Midnight **
From the start this story catches you in its thrall, raising your blood flow – your heart rate and your blood pressure with the kick arse action scenes written. It will have you on the edge of your seat gazing into the pages at a vampire – hunter story that is of course is very unique. A romance - paranormal genre with the new adult concept blended throughout, this story is certainly a great start to an engaging new series.
I must say that personally I enjoy a kick ass heroine; Emma is strong, and not demanding. Caring and selfless , and determined to find her way in the new world of vampires that she has discovered. Her abilities gifted to her give her strength within herself, and a way to deal with the loss of loved ones.
The supporting characters were equally well written, living in the world amongst the dead unbeknown to what really goes bump in the night. Lynn Rush’s storyline was great and certainly lays down a strong foundation for future stories; however from the ending of this you have to wander what adventure she will take us on next. I certainly can’t wait!
I read this in almost one sitting; I was hooked within the first pages till I had turned the last page. Lynn Rush always captivates me with her writing, her stories are always unique, well detailed and easily envisaged and I immensely enjoy the characters that she scripts.
I was able to connect with the characters and submerge myself within the story, something that for me is important when reading.
Moments where you will be gasping for air with Emma and other moments you will be thinking OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT...... (( grins )) you must read it to find out !
Jake and Emma’s romance is sizzling - I really enjoyed the new adult concept and I can’t wait to see what these vampire hunters get up to in the next instalment. ** I personally would love Jake as my personal light bulb ** grins... His character was certainly put forth well with strength and determination of a Hunter. All the unique characteristics that Lynn has put forth with her Hunters were certainly riveting and refreshing. Something I can always expect from this author!
A fantastic start to a new series – Violet Midnight is such an appropriate title and the cover is just stunning!

Ok So I got a bit carried away but I really like this cover and it suits the book perfectly ! Now here's the blurb !
What
would you sacrifice to save the one’s you love? To save the one who holds your
heart? To save the world?
Kenley
Grayson is all too familiar with these questions.
After Earth is thrust
into its first intergalactic war with an unknown race called the Bringers, our
military forces begin to suffer heavy losses. Desperate for a solution, the
Allied Federation issues a worldwide draft for every able seventeen year old to
enlist. As Kenley turns seventeen, she finds herself thrown into the very war
that took her older brother’s life.
This year’s draft is a
little different than in the past though. A new program, known as the Magnus
Project, has been introduced, and only the best and brightest qualify. Kenley
is amongst a select few whom are chosen to join this elite group of soldiers,
and as a part of this project, undergoes a modification procedure that leaves
her and her peers endowed with powers beyond their wildest dreams.
As Earth continues in
its struggle against the Bringers, Kenley is transported to a high-tech
training facility, the Magnus Academy, to prepare for the major battle that
lies ahead. It’s here that she meets the California heartthrob, and son of a
legendary war hero, Landon Shaw. As unexpected feelings toward Landon begin to
develop, Kenley wonders if this is the right time or place for romance to
bloom, especially when those feelings start to interfere with her training.
With the weight of the
world on her shoulders, Kenley is constantly reminded of how important she and
the rest of the Magnus cadets are to the fate of humanity. She is one of the
Modified, Earth’s last line of defense against utter destruction.

Speechless by Hannah Harrington Book Review
My review
3 1/2 stars
Chelsea Knot is a social gossipmonger – spreading rumors, and gossip like a hurricane. Until one night someone’s life is put in danger because of it. Chelsea now realizes that her mingling and big mouth has done something very bad and in return does the only thing she knows she should. She should make it somewhat right.
She brings justice to the person affected. She rats outs the bad guys and in turn looses all her popularity status, and earns a black mark against her name. SHE IS NOW AN OUTCAST among her peers.
Her best friend and all the IN group at school have ditched her, cause havoc and belittle her for telling the truth. Chelsea realizes that because of her meddling someone’s life could have been taken. And in turn takes a vow of silence – hoping that if she doesn’t speak she can’t won’t get anyone else hurt.
In turn, Life has taken a turn for the worst for Chelsea, she now has no friends, is no longer amongst the High Rollers at school - and decides after reading an article on monks , that will become mute and deal with the consequences of her actions.
The repercussion of rumors, high school bullying and racism against gay relationships is a message conveyed within this story. I found both compelling for anyone at any age. Speechless relates to a lot of social issues, that I’m sure as an adult and a teen you can relate to on almost any level. It’s mild in the way in which it is put forth, but certainly puts forth a subject that is very real and most definitely happens.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this read. I read it in one sitting, and must say I was very impressed with the way in which Hannah conveyed so much in this book. The writing was well written, all emotions well put forth. The romance was very subtle, but cute. And the realization that being popular can have its disadvantages. You are not the person you thought you were.
All the chararacters were well fleshed out. Each and everyone having their own personalities, and some having none what so ever, this was well put forth in this story. The unpopular ones had more depth and definition to themselves then the shallow popular status quo that so many of the kids wanted.
Chelsea realizes after this stint, and her vow of silence that she was really not whom she wanted to be. The pink outfits, the gossiping and the bitchiness was just to keep within the group, but after meeting some new friends her life certainly changed for the better.
The meaning behind the story knows the difference between right or wrong. Be who you are – and just be yourself. Be the only person you know how to be and that would be YOU.
Chelsea formed great meaningful friendships within the story, and realizes what life, love and status quo really meant. Just being herself amongst real friends, made Chelsea more than the shell of a person she was before.
I really enjoyed this line.
Noah, hate is easy, but love takes courage.

Blood Bond Book Tour - Heather Hindlebrand Review , Playlist.
I'd Like to Welcome everyone to the Blood Bond Book Tour. Today I have Heather's Play list whilst writing Blood Blond and My review. Also check out the cover and blurb ! - Book Three in the series and it just gets better and better ** inserts wolf whistle here **
If I had to choose one word to sum up all of my problems, this would be it.
Without hybrids, I wouldn’t have to watch my best friend slowly becoming a monster. Without hybrids, I could let go of the mentality “hunt or be hunted.” CHAS wouldn’t be scouring the Earth, intent on slaughtering and using Alex to do it. Without hybrids, I wouldn’t have to be on guard that losing my temper meant losing my shape. There would be no monster inside me, struggling to get out.
Then again, without hybrids, I wouldn’t have Wesley St. John.
Rating 5 / 5 !!!!! HOWLLLWWWINNGG
My Review
Heather has out down herself with the third instalment of her Dirty Blood series. The start off, for book three is a gradual building as the storyline progressed. I found myself reading into the wee hrs of the night. 3am I closed the book and thought WOW !!!! I want more. As I said to Heather If I could Howl - I would've been after that ending !!! ** a wolf howl not cry ** snickers. This series that Heather has so cleverly written is one of the best werewolves series I have been lucky enough to read. We don't see alot of werewolves stories out there and Heather certainly gives us a refreshing and suspenseful action packed tale with this.
After reading the ending to Blood Bond ........
I need book 4 like now - an ending that certainly fluffed my pillows and had me in a tether.
Blood Bond as lots of Twists and turns , A HUGE heart ache , kick arse action, and characters that will draw you into the pages. I enjoyed every character that Heather has scribed, some more than others.** grins ** But I was certainly happy to see more of Wes in this story. The love that Tara and Wes has is more than just lust. It makes you gooey inside.. - sigh - But I honestly couldn't help but want Alex tooooooooo..
There will be moments where you will be teary eyed... Heather certainly didn't waste any time - adding in that bit of heart ache in this story - but they say, what hurts you makes you stronger RIGHT !!!
I'm not sure which book boyfriend I like the most but after that ending - I certainly need some explaining ;) It was defiantly unpredictable and I certainly didn't see it coming. I love that in a story !!!! UNPREDICTABLE !!
George still holds that soft spot for me - the friendship that Tara and George had was certainly something you would never give up. Blood Bond is certainly a fantastic title for this book with all that became about. (( sigh )) Heather portrays all the emotions so well in this story giving the reader great depth into the relationships of each and every character.
Heather certainly packs this installment in the series with danger, revelations, heartache , and, of course, smexy romance. Tara is a feisty heroine surrounded by hot, hunters and werewolves , and a world destined for her. This instalment of Dirty blood gives a deeper glimpse into the world in which Heather has created, filling in gaps from previous books and leaving us hanging off the edge of our seat in eager anticipation of what's to come in book 4 .
Blood Bond is an action-packed, fast-paced, entertaining, addictive and completely engrossing story. With amazing dialogue , intelligent and action-packed plot, sizzling chemistry between our kick arse heroine, hunters , and hybrids and an ending that will have you WANTING MORE !!
- ** INSERTS HOWL HERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEE

HEATHER HAS PROVIDED FOR US TODAY HER PLAY LIST WHILST WRITING THIS STORY !
I don’t listen to music often during the
actual writing process but I do during editing. Music helps me then because
during editing I’m checking to see if I captured the overall feeling in a scene
that I was going for, and I am making sure it will translate to the reader the
way I intended. The music helps me define the feeling each scene needs to have.
My playlist for Blood Bond was eclectic--as
all of mine are. Here’s the list, along with an explanation about how/what that
song inspired:
Always by Bon Jovi – if you’ve been with the series since the beginning, you know this
is George’s and Tara’s song. He writes it in a love letter of sorts in Cold
Blood and then in Blood Bond, it’s explained how it came to be special for
them. They even sing it to each other. So cute!
Fix You & Spies by Coldplay – Fix You is a message from Tara to George. She will do anything to
help him in Blood Bond. She knows there’s no way to stop him from turning, but
she’s determined to keep him from becoming a monster in the process. I can’t
tell you who Spies is for. You’ll just have to read the book and find out!
There are a couple of road trip songs: Postcards
from Far Away by Coldplay and Roads Untravelled by Linkin Park. And yes,
there is a road trip in Blood Bond.
Castle of Glass by Linkin Park – I love the line that says: “Wash the sorrow from off my skin and
show me how to be whole again.” Yes, there is sorrow in Blood Bond. And grief.
I can’t tell you why except to say we lose someone. It will rock the entire
group and you see the mark of it in all of them.
You’ve Got The Love, Rabbit Heart, &
Howl by Florence + The Machine – because I love
their sound. And their lyrics are awesome. From Howl, I love the lines that
say: “If you could only see the beast you’ve made of me. I held it in but now
it seems you’ve set it running free.”
Hmmm, now who could it be talking about?
*wink*
It goes on to talk about fingers on your
skin, etc. and it makes me think of Tara and Wes. Then the song becomes kind of
hot. *wink* which also makes me think of them. Just in a different way. *fans
self* You’ll want to read those parts, trust me!
Train: Drive By & Meet Virginia made the list because I love their sound and how they made me feel.
Meet Virginia describes a girl that’s stubborn and doesn’t care what others
think of her. Sound like anyone from the series? Also great road trip music!
Howlin’ For You by The Black Keys – listen to it. It’s self-explanatory and perfect for my series. It
was my favorite from this playlist. “Baby, I’m howlin’ for you.”
3 songs by Plain White T’s made the
list: Rhythm of Love, Last Breath, and Killer. My favorite was Killer
because it sums up how Tara felt throughout the book about what she was
becoming. It also makes me think of Wes and Alex and how they wonder if/how
Tara can love them or care for them despite who they are or what they’ve done. Rhythm
of Love is great because it talks about only having a short time to express
your feelings for the other (“we may only have tonight…”) and throughout the
book, Wes and Tara only had short spurts to really be alone and “together.” Last
Breath is about what a guy would do (pretty much anything, including die)
to get away from a crazy girlfriend. It’s fun and doesn’t necessarily go with
the storyline here but it’s about desperation and I liked the feeling for this
book. At the end, he says: “what am I fighting for, if it ain’t you?” and I
love that line.
That’s it for my playlist. If you’re
wondering what I use to stream music while working, I used to use my MP3 (I
still do for plotting with my white board) but for this book (at the computer),
I used Spotify because I could look up songs and build the list quicker while
still being in front of my computer screen. Plus, I can share my playlist with
everyone via Facebook and you can see when I’m listening to which playlist. It
was a way to show everyone that I was working on Blood Bond, because they saw
that playlist streaming. Now, I love Spotify. I’ve already started using it to
build my playlist for book 4.
I’m curious--what songs do you think work
well for Blood Bond?
Me I love this song ....................................... As much as I know that George and Tara where not destined they have a friendship that certainly will be ALWAYS.
