put through years of brutal training for what she thinks is the noble
purpose of becoming a revered ‘Seeker’.<br /><br />Only when it’s too late
does she discover she will be using her new-found knowledge and training
to become an assassin. Quin's new role will take her around the globe,
from a remote estate in Scotland to a bustling, futuristic Hong Kong
where the past she thought she had escaped will finally catch up with
her.</span></span>

Then things started to get confusing and annoying.<br /><br />I
don’t mind when there Is different points of views most of the time the
author can do It right. At most two Is perfect but three Is the max for
me so when a forth point of view Is added I just skipped over that
point of view completely...I didn’t even know that Maud was a main
character to need a point of view from.<br /><br />Another thing I found
annoying Is when the epic moment when the kids become seekers Is totally
skipped over...I don’t know If the author was to afraid to come up with
Ideas for that part or If It was to adult rating to put Into the book
but seeing Quin and her cousin (?) Get back and are barfIng on the floor
with blood on them I didn’t care. To me It looked like they went In
there killed people for fu cause they were told to and suddenly they
have a conscience... yeah no I felt no sympathy for them. Maybe If the
author wrote the actual scene and explain why they feel the way they do
It would be better but she didn’t.<br /><br />Also john Is funny he wants
Quin to stay with her crazy father but dissent tell her why Is stupid.
Then again she listens to her father and killed those people so I can
actually see her following what John says.... <br /><br />I didn’t finish reading this book I did try but I just couldn’t...</span></span></span></span><strong><br /></strong></span></span><span style="color: magenta;"><span id="freeText1487376934175938699"><strong>

recently, the E’rikon have remained segregated in their city and
ignored the few humans who have tried to engage them… but now they have
taken Jax’s brother. To rescue him, she forms an uneasy alliance with a
teenage E’rikon left stranded in the woods. She agrees to guide him to
the city if he sneaks her past the human-proof barrier. Too bad it’s not
that simple.<br /><br />Jax, who cannot stand to be touched, finds that
she’s drawn to the alien boy with bright green hair and jewel-like
scales on his back. And he’s equally affected by her, the courageous
redhead with haunted eyes. But she doesn’t know the alien’s true motives
and he has no idea that she is much more than she seems.<br /><br />With
the aliens and the humans at odds, the connection forming between the
two teens has consequences. What started off as a rescue mission sets a
chain of events in motion which threatens not only the remaining humans
and the growing alien society, but Earth itself.</span></span><span style="color: magenta;"><span id="freeText7217901567334572773"><i><br /><br /></i></span></span>

</b></span></span><span id="freeTextreview1153210644"><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Review</b></span></span><br /><span style="color: magenta;">Dystopian and aliens
mixed into one story always makes a awesome book series. Broken Skies is
amazing story full of adventure and even some romance. I just couldn’t
put this book down and I’m glad I read it. <br /><br />Broken skies takes
place in the future where half of man kind has almost disappeared due to
a event that happen in the past. Now they are trying to grow they’re
population alongside aliens that also now live on earth, and the two of
them don’t get along which brings in a great plot to the story.<br />Our
main character Jasmine prefers to be called “Jax” is one interesting
character. She may seem strong at first but you can see that she isn’t.
Due to something that happen in her past she is frighten of being
touched. But that doesn’t stop her from trying to be normal (well as
normal as she can be). Throughout the story you can see how she becomes
stronger and less broken. With the help of the alien Lir she starts to
become someone who doesn’t mind to be touched. She does have some trust
issues that I hope gets solved one way or another.<br /><br />Lir is a great
person and despite not knowing Jax he needed her to get home. He’s
quite but at times you can see his personality show more towards Jax
then anyone else even to his family. Between the two of them the romance
is cute and slow. It a great bond that I hope to see more of in the
next books. Despite how great he is Lir really needs to tell Jasmine
everything and not keep things from her. That ending was just crazy.<br /><br />I
really recommend this story to people who love books with Aliens. I’m
so excited for the next book in the series because seriously Jax
frighten me a little at the end of this book. </span></span></span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: magenta;"><span id="freeText7217901567334572773"><i>If her love life is going down in flames, she might as well spark a revolution.</i><br /><br />Finding
out on your sixteenth birthday you’re a shape-shifting dragon is tough
to swallow. Being hauled off to an elite boarding school is enough to
choke on.<br /><br />Since Bryn is the only crossbreed at the Institute for
Excellence, all eyes are on her, but it’s a particular black dragon,
Zavien, who catches her attention.<br /><br />Zavien is tired of the
Council’s rules. Segregated clans, being told who to love, and
close-minded leaders make freedom of choice almost impossible. The new
girl with the striped hair is a breath of fresh air, and with Bryn’s
help, they may be able to change the rules.<br /><br />At the Institute, old
grudges, new crushes, and death threats are all part of a normal day
for Bryn. She’ll need to learn to control her dragon powers if she wants
to make it through her first year at school. But even focusing on
staying alive is difficult when you’re falling for someone you can't
have.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Review</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span class="readable reviewText"><span id="freeTextreview965665399">I
don't have the words to even talk right now. I've never loved a book so
much in my life before. I could not put it down from start to finish.
My favorite question of the whole book is "What does that make me,
Purple?" Wow just wow is all I can say. I'm left with my jaw hanging
cause all I want now is to read more.<br /><br />The plot for this story
from the beginning drew me in. Having a girl who just turn 16 find out
her whole life was a lie and that her parents were dragons was amazing
to start with. It just grew from there, not only is she unique which is
amazing but she has to survive living at a boarding school where
everyone hates her for who she is. Bryn being the hot headed girl like
her father stands up to everything thrown at her. This my friends makes
for awesome story through in some action and romance and that's it. Hook
line and sinker. <br /><br />Bryn is a strong prideful girl and i love her
character to death. The author did such good work on her from the way
she speaks to people she doesn't like (making me laugh half the time) to
the kindness she shows to the people who earn her trust. I can see her
growing into such a strong character able to stand up to anyone who
stands in her way(which she practically did thought this book). I'm just
so in love with these characters from Zavien with his mega male mood
swings(all guys have them) to her friends Ivy and Clint all of which
have they're own personalty no one is the same in this book the
characters are written in such depth I fell in love with every single
one of them. Even Jaxon the bratty rich kid that he is grew on me.<br /><br />Don't
get me started on he romance. It was so back and forth I wanted to slap
the guy to death. He left me in tears so many times I can't count. I'm
surprise Bryn wasn't in tears half the time I was. It was so cute, and
the forbidden fruit factor was an awesome mix. I can't wait to see what
happens in the next book, whether there will be another twist in Bryn's
romantic life.<br /><br />Over all I'm just in love with this series and I
will be back to review book two when it comes out. I recommend this book
to anyone who loves dragon's because this book will not disappoint. Not
only will this cover draw you in but the plot line and the characters
will also draw you in straight away. I do hope to buy a hardback copy of
this book in the future.</span></span></span><br />

<b>Excerpt #1 - Erin</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As my Maestro steps toward me standing in the midst of his symphony, I find myself totally agreeing with Luca’s observation more. Alek strolls to my side, his black hair slicked back and his strange, hypnotic, brown-blue eyes directed straight into my dark brown ones. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He takes my right hand as he faces his symphony and I face the crowd, the front of our bodies turned in opposite directions but our faces less than a few inches apart, and then kisses my knuckles just before he leans over and brushes his lips across mine. It’s the slightest touch, yet there’s enough feeling inside it to waken every cell inside my body, making me fearless. The applause and shouting almost deafens me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“You are a stunning little Jaybird,” he whispers in my ear where only the two of us can hear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At once, the audience and the symphony behind me, along with the dancers hiding in the shadows over the lower stage, all disappear. My heart speeds up; not because I’m nervous, but because that’s how much love I feel inside my soul for this man—my heart, my lifeline. He is the anchor who weighs me down—not at the bottom of a sea, but the one who keeps me from floating away to be forever lost in a world of the mind that oftentimes snatches me away inside its clutches of sadness and heartache. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He moves back and brushes his lips across mine, the simple touch jolting awake every single nerve in my body; the same way he has done since the first time we made love seven months ago. Alek worked for my kiss, something I no longer wanted to do; and to this day, I can’t believe I made him wait so long before giving in to something so heavenly and divine. What would life have been like for me without experiencing something like this every day? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Boring. Well, yeah, that’s a given. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Numb. So many women fall into that trap. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Celibate. Uh... Don’t think so. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The crowd roars and it’s hard to believe this is supposed to be a cultured group. There’s something mystical about a man who can command the notes inside of a song this way, a magician of melody and harmonies and voices. Nikolai’s dancers dance along to the tune, caught up in a web of musical sex and wrapping the audience up in the clutches of the god all this centers around. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love everything about him: his head of deliciously dark hair that won’t stay in place when he awakens each morning, his broad shoulders, his tapered waist, his smile and dangerously sexy brown eyes that have just the slightest bit of blue inside the irises. It’s official. I’m completely hooked, a woman who has promised herself she’d never allow herself to feel the sweet temptation of another man’s lips on hers let alone fall in love with him. Standing here with the Maestro, I cannot describe the way my heart flutters each time I glance at his handsome face and strong hands! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, God, those holy hands of creation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Could anything in this world be any more perfect than the way Alek Dostov can blast through choreographing a song, and then later on use those same hands to drive my body wild with desire, temptations and experiences of the mind I’ve never even dreamed possible?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Excerpt#2 - Alek</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stalk toward her, bend down and pull her body toward the edge of the bed so that I’m situated between her legs. Long, dark hair trails along the bed behind her, and together with her little black tank top dress, I can’t stop the hard on raging through me. Vanilla drifts into my nostrils, a scent she prefers and sometimes chooses to couple with an apple-scented perfume—a combination that drives me wild with lust and need for her; things that are hard to describe. Even though tension surrounds our marital plans, there’s not a damn thing strained about our sex life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“This hotel makes the 300-year-old mansions back home in Louisiana look young and fresh,” Erin says, glancing around the room. She’s right. Venice reeks of history and ancient battles—things that my sister Adriana adores—but that is something that has always made life a little more challenging for me back in school; history. Nevertheless, I can still appreciate the Floating City’s eclectic beauty. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“The designer in me is going wild right now,” she continues, a dreamy expression on her face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“So is the man who loves her,” I say, my gaze locked on Eric’s face. In return, I get a beaming smile, and then she bites down on the corner of her lower lip, her look mischievously wicked.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“I know that look, my horny Maestro.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Is that right? What is this look?” I ask while grinding my sex against the inside of her right thigh. Her pink lips part and just that tiny response from her sends me spiraling over the edge. I don’t think I can wait until we get back from our meeting with the Fenice’s owners tonight. I need Erin as much as I need a good bowl of Pelmeni, a popular pastry back home in Mother Russia that’s filled with meat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“That is you misbehaving as usual,” she says, grinning. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I grasp her arms and pull her up against my chest. “Is that right? What do you intend to about my, er, behavior problem?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Hmm. Let me see. I’ll have to think of a really good punishment.” Lowering her mouth to my neck, she starts nibbling and kissing the exposed area on my chest, working her way up to the skin underneath my chin, teasing my lips with warm breath from in between hers. Then, finally, her lips land on that spot on the side of my neck, the skin over my jugular. The combined sensation of her hot breath and the way she sucks my skin shoots straight through my body.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“This is how we wind up not leaving the room,” I whisper against her ear, inhaling the scent of freshly washed hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“If we miss our appointment with Frederico,” she begins, easing her assault on my neck, moving back so she’s now perched on her knees at the edge of the bed and focusing on unfastening the belt on my trousers, “then more punishment will be necessary.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Don’t tempt me, Signorina Angelo,” I warn, slinking a hand through her dark hair and pulling it the slightest bit so she’s glancing up at me, her dark eyes contrasting with the pink of her lips. Images of that perfect mouth wrapped around my sex while those deliciously dark eyes glance into mine, reflecting all the love and loyalty I know she holds in her heart just for me, drive me wild with desire. “You might find I rather enjoy your punishment.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
“Noted, Sir Bad Boy Maestro.” She smiles, dips her head and takes all of me into her mouth, ripping all thoughts of negativity from within my head. Instead, I choose to lose myself—that deepest part of my soul I’ve never allowed anyone to own—inside the warm embrace of the woman I love.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Author of the Lost Immortals Saga and the Seraphine Trilogy, I'm also a mother, blogger, reader, gardener, home renovator, and a slayer of Egyptian mummies in Tomb Raider. I believe in karma, coffee, and seriously wish that the producers of Xena would bring my favorite show ever back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was born in the race-car city of Charlotte, NC, and now live in the City of Alchemy and Medicine, NC, when I'm not hanging out in Bardonia (Lost Immortals). Most of my characters are based on people that I've met throughout my travels and adventures. People tend to stop and start conversations with me as if I've known them my entire life. Does this freak me out? Not really. My mom says that one day I'll get kidnapped by one of them. I told her that if it weren't for these lovely people then I wouldn't be able to create the stories that I do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have many favorite authors but there are some who truly rock my socks: Octavia Butler, Anne Rice, Kami Garcia, J.K. Rowling, Dean Koontz (on his good-book days), Stephen King (same as DK) Ann Radcliffe, Mary Shelley, Elizabeth Kostova, and so many more...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some other common tidbits...hmm. I've watched the movie Under the Tuscan Sun almost 200 times. Seriously, the way I see it is if I keep watching it enough, then suddenly the house that Diane Lane lives in will magically appear in my backyard. I know. I have a huge imagination! <span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>

a society steeped in tradition, Princess Lia’s life follows a
preordained course. As First Daughter, she is expected to have the
revered gift of sight—but she doesn’t—and she knows her parents are
perpetrating a sham when they arrange her marriage to secure an alliance
with a neighboring kingdom—to a prince she has never met.<br /><br />On the
morning of her wedding, Lia flees to a distant village. She settles
into a new life, hopeful when two mysterious and handsome strangers
arrive—and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an
assasin sent to kill her. Deception abounds, and Lia finds herself on
the brink of unlocking perilous secrets—even as she finds herself
falling in love.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Review</span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span id="freeText5175760143029439097"><span class="readable reviewText"><span id="freeTextreview860872656"><br />Recieved this copy from netgalley. </span></span></span></span></span></div>

Kiss of Deception” was a book I never expected to see my self read.
This may be the first novel in quite awhile that I have sat down and
enjoyed that contained royalty consisting of kings, queens, princes, and
princesses. <br /><br />The author of this book was quite creative in
creating this work of art, as she/he wrote in such a way that it left
you guessing which character was which throughout most of the first
half. It is along with this and the title of the book that drew me into
it's contents, but I will admit that once it revealed which role
everyone played, I became annoyed at being completely wrong when I
guessed who was who and it almost resulted in me wanting to throw the
book in frustration and leave it where it lay. While pushing down my
negative feelings, I continued to read to the end and was rewarded for
my effort. <br /><br />Rafe is a strong, courageous, and nice (though rough
in the beginning) character, who falls in love with Lia, while Kaden
shows a hidden side, you will have to read to find out what that side
is, and Lia just wants to be free and live life. The female character is
very brave in my opinion, for taking charge and doing things for
herself; one event being an employee at a diner so she can make money
for her friend, Pauline, and herself. <br /><br />I found this story a bit
slow after all the characters roles were figured out, but I still quite
enjoyed it and hope to read the second book when it comes out.<br /></span></span></span></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Summary</span></span><br />Remy
Alexander was born into the elite meritocracy of the Okarian Sector.
From an early age, she and her friends were programmed for intellectual
and physical superiority through specialized dietary regimes
administered by the Okarian Agricultural Consortium. But when her older
sister Tai was murdered in a brutal classroom massacre, her parents
began to suspect foul play. They fled the Sector, taking their surviving
daughter underground to join the nascent Resistance movement. But now,
three years later, Remy’s former schoolgirl crush, Valerian Orleán, is
put in charge of hunting and destroying the Resistance. As Remy and her
friends race to unravel the mystery behind her sister’s murder, Vale is
haunted by the memory of his friendship with Remy and is determined to
find out why she disappeared. As the Resistance begins to fight back
against the Sector, and Vale and Remy search for the answers to their
own questions, the two are set on a collision course that could bring
everyone together—or tear everything apart.</div>

<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Excerpt</span></span><br />The screen goes dark. Eli must have decided he’d had enough. I relax my shoulders and slump in my seat. Soren turns to me with a spiteful glare. <br /><br /> “They’re putting their prized hound on the scent. One mistake, Remy, and we’re all dead. They take everything. All our sacrifices will be for nothing. Thousands more will be poisoned, manipulated, turned to slaves. You better not fucking give us away just because Valerian Orleán is in the game now.”<br /><br />He won’t give up, will he?<br /><br />“Vale is nothing to me. And he, I guarantee, has forgotten I even exist.” I’m trying to stay calm, staring straight ahead, refusing to meet Soren’s eyes. <br /><br />“Right.” He snorts. <br /><br />“Soren, she gets it,” Jahnu says. <br /><br />“You’ve had everything done for you your entire life,” Soren spits back at me, ignoring Jahnu entirely. “If Tai hadn’t been murdered, you would never have left. You’d still be back in the Sector with Vale.” <br /><br />Without realizing it, I’m standing over Soren, my fists balled at my side.<br /><br />“We gave up everything to join the Resistance—” I hiss.<br /><br />“Look around you. You’re not the only one.” <br /><br /> “I know that, Soren! It’s not about who made the choice to leave the Sector—it’s about the fact that we’re here now, together. We have to fight together. Stop treating me like I’m some stupid little girl who’s going to go soft over a teenage crush. I’m a member of your team!” <br /><br />“You guys have to stop going at each other,” Jahnu pleads. “Everyone here has lost someone. Everyone has given up something. We’re all in this together.”<br /><br />Soren just stares at me. He glances at Jahnu and his eyes, cold and blue as rare glacier ice, soften a bit. <br /><br />“Sometimes I wonder.”<br /></div>

Makansi is the pen name for the writing triumvirate consisting
of Amira, Elena, and Kristina Makansi. Two sisters and their mother,
the three women developed a passionate interest in science fiction as a
way to write about issues of food sovereignty and food justice. Elena
is pursuing a degree in environmental studies at Oberlin College in
Ohio, and will graduate in May of 2014. Amira was a history student at
the University of Chicago whose day job working in the cellar of a
winery (and constantly being splattered with wine) keeps her busy when
she’s not writing. And Kristy owns and operates Blank Slate Press,
an independent publishing company based out of St. Louis, and is a
partner at Treehouse Publishing Group, a company providing editorial and
design services to aspiring authors. When not writing or reading, the
three can be found having animated discussions around the dinner table,
sharing a good bottle of wine, or taking long walks in the park eagerly
plotting out their next book.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> Chapter One Excerpt</span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Julie saw the wolf out of the corner of her eye. It
trotted into the zoo enclosure with the pure unadulterated confidence of the
consummate alpha male. His fur was a beautiful black-tipped gray and he moved
on feet the size of horse’s hooves. From the ankle down he could have been a
Clydesdale with claws.<br /><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The zoo community had affectionately named him “Big
Foot” in tribute to the size of his paws, but the zookeepers were more mindful
of his teeth. The animal had a mouthful of lethal incisors and he loved to curl
his lips back to expose them.<br /><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The rest of the pack loped playfully behind him,
nipping at each other’s flanks or herding one another into the retaining wall
that separated their living quarters from zoo patrons. They hopped over each
other’s backs like dolphins in the surf. They yelped and grunted and barked
with delight. They had been removed for medical examinations earlier in the
morning and were happy to be back into the “man-made wild”.<br /><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">She saw the lead wolf catch her scent just as she
heard a small child point her out.<br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br />“Mommy, there’s a lady down there with the wolves.”<br /><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The pack had not been scheduled to return to the
enclosure until 3 p.m. She glanced down at her watch. It read 1:35 p.m. She
swallowed hard. It had read 1:35 p.m. last time she had checked too.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Safety protocol demanded an enclosure check before
animals were returned to their habitat. There had been no safety check.<br /><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">There were anxious voices above her, but the
cacophony paled to the exploding pulse she heard in her ears. She stood rooted
to the spot, her eyes wide as the lead wolf pivoted his head in her direction,
nostrils flared.<br /><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Her eyes locked upon the hungry fire that burned
within his dark pupils. There was silent communion between them. He was hunter.
She was prey. Both of them acknowledged that she was dead meat.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /><br />The animal cut in her direction without so much as
breaking stride, the rest of the pack in tow. His lips curled back as he
approached her--a low, menacing growl rising from deep within his chest like
the first portentous rumblings of an active volcano. The pack fanned to the
left and right, flanking him, encircling her.<br /><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">She didn’t want to die like this. She didn’t want
to be ripped to shreds in front of an audience of pre-schoolers and soccer
moms.<br /><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Big Foot stretched his neck out toward her,
sniffing loudly, sniffing deeply. The other wolves did the same. In an instant,
little tremors wracked her petite frame. She was doing her very best to remain
immobile, but she was shaking visibly now.<br /><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The alpha wolf watched her intently, then did
something totally unexpected. His lips rounded into a perfect ‘O’ and he howled
softly and sadly into the circle.<br /><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">There was a moment of complete silence when he
finished. Even the shrieking children had quieted.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Above her, she heard truck doors slamming and the
quick scuffing of heavy feet across concrete.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">“Tranquilizer darts,” someone commanded. <br /><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">She heard a rifle load. Two. Three.<br /><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Big Foot howled again. Then, one by one, the other
wolves joined the lament. She dropped her sampling tools and hugged herself as
a series of small popping sounds were followed by surprised yelps. <br /><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">“Reload.”<br /><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Three animals sank to their haunches. More popping
sounds, then another three sank slowly to the ground, their voices silenced
mid-howl. Big Foot bolted forward, stopped a few feet in front of her, then
ambled slowly in her direction. <br /><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">He turned toward his right hindquarters when the
tranquilizer dart struck, but he whipped his head back around immediately, his
eyes on Julie. <br /><br /><br />
She heard a pistol click. Real bullets now.<br /><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">“Don’t hurt him,” she shouted as a cold nose
touched the back of her hand. The animal whined softly, his breath hot and
moist upon her. He wrapped a pink tongue around her thumb then released it. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /><br />Several zookeepers were in the enclosure now,
racing toward her, their pistols armed and at the ready. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><br /><br />Slowly, the animal collapsed at her feet. Slowly,
Julie sank to her knees. Everything was going dark. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">She looked up. The sun was like a full moon in the
night sky. She drew a shallow breath, then plummeted to the earth like a
meteor.<br /></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">She is a Maryland Master Gardener and
puts that training into practice in her sizable vegetable garden. To assist
her, she has recruited the services of a very helpful staff: two Chinese geese,
two mini-Rex rabbits and 2,000 red wigglers (worms)…all of which are “master
composters”. An adopted feral cat guards the perimeters and keeps the
groundhogs at bay. She resides in Monkton, Maryland.</span></div>

When I wasn't outside, I spent much of my time reading and getting lost in adventurous worlds and whirlwind courtships. At the age of seventeen, I moved to Kentucky and eventually began to raise a family of my own. I have always been entranced by stories of magical adventure and I have discovered that writing is an entirely new, exciting adventure all on its own! In my spare time, I can be found updating my website or blog, finding great books to read or watching videos. Most days I crave Diet Coke, pizza and chocolate, in no particular order. I have my own pink toolbox with pink tools and secretly want to be a mechanic! I grew up a tomboy. But, when I didn't want to climb a hill, to walk through the graveyard, the boys said I turned into a girl.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Senior year should bring fun, friends, and
happiness. Not portals, treachery, and murder.<br />
<br />
Seventeen-year-old Mia Taylor, gatekeeper to an interdimensional portal, wants
nothing more than to heal from her romance gone wrong. Illegally falling for
her co-worker Regulus had been a huge mistake. But when Regulus goes rogue to
hunt down a murderer, Mia must forget her broken heart and use her unique
abilities to save him. Traveling across dimensions, she enters a strange and
hostile world where a rebel faction holds the key to their escape. Her gift of
synesthesia is in high demand, and a secret organization of the otherworldly
kind has her in their sights. But sabotage and murder may be the least of her
worries. Her ex-boyfriend wants a relationship. Her dad wants her to act
normal. Her friends want her to stop moping. Who knew faking happy would be the
easiest part of senior year?</span></i></span></span></div>

had taken up residence. The portals in Whispering Woods changed according to
moon phases and I had the lucky job of locating where the next one would
appear. The identification of a portal had gotten exponentially easier. It
pulled at me. Breaking up with Regulus must have helped me to focus my senses
on things other than him. </span></div>

hundred-foot radius of the portal. Not enough to make me break a sweat, but
enough to make me feel uneasy. Fifty feet away, I’d taste fizzy cola, the
vibrations of the portal seeping into my mouth. Ten feet away, I’d see the
shimmer of the envelope around the portal. A beautiful wave of compressed air
dressing the portal’s opening.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Brinda Berry lives in
the southern US with her family and two spunky cairn terriers. She has a BSE in
English and French and a MEd in Learning Systems Technology. She's terribly
fond of chocolate, coffee, and books that take her away from reality. She
doesn't mind being called a geek or “crazy dog lady”. When she's not working
the day job or writing a novel, she's guilty of surfing the internet for no
good reason.</span></span></span></div>

High schoolers Rin and
Kyo are childhood friends from kindergarten. They're so close that
there's virtually nothing they don't know about each other. <br /><br />Rin,
who had been pining for Takahashi-kun, his father's lover, for many
years, finally gave up and wished for his father and Takahashi's
happiness. After his broken heart was comforted by Kyo, Rin was finally
able to stand up again, but then suddenly, he was confessed to by
Kyo...?!

I've read the manga that takes place before this one and I really liked it. This volume on the other hand is a bit disappointing.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>

Rin is the boy from the manga called "Koishite Daddy" (good manga if you want to learn about Rin's dad and his dad's boyfriend) He is a great kid but for him to fall for his fathers boyfriend and just give up right away i just don't see it happening in real life. Not to mention Kyo not really doing much other then ditching Rin after trying to get the boy to love him. <br /><br /> I was waiting and waiting for them to do something other then talk and stuff but nope it was just boring. Even the ending ended in a way I didn't think it should end in. Yes I know there is going to be a sequel but honestly this manga could have been a lot better in the build up of their relationship. Rin is kinda forced into liking Kyo. I don't see any true feelings at all. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="color: white;">Becca Langer was not a normal girl, she didn't have normal girl
problems. For most of her life, she’s had to take care of herself, her younger
brother Chad, and her drunk mother. She’s lived under the shadow of what her
father did when she was ten years old. Forever branded by his actions.<br />
<br />
College was her escape, she could get away and finally live. Her dream was to
make it in the New York Ballet Company one day. That for her meant a long road
full of hard work and dedication. She didn't have time for distractions, and
Levi Klein was definitely a distraction.<br />
<br />
Will Levi be able to crack through her tough exterior and really see the
wounded soul underneath? Becca needs to be loved, but the question is, will she
let Levi love her?</span><br />

pants she needed to actually get off her butt and write.</span><br />

<div>
In
less than seven years, eighteen-year-old Ryla Jensen will succeed her
father as the president of Neress, a nation where all citizens
are cared for from the moment they’re born. Fed, sheltered,
even educated—every need of theirs is met.<br />
<br />
The only price they pay is their free will.<br />
<br />
Groomed
since childhood to take on a role she’s not even sure she wants, Ryla’s
only escape from the pressures of duty is her sister, Alanna. But when
her eyes are opened to the oppressive regime her father built, she
begins to question everything she’s set to inherit—and finds herself at
odds with her sister’s blind allegiance to their father.<br />
<br />
Torn
between loyalty to her family and the fight for freedom, Ryla must
decide just how far she’s willing to go to make a stand and risk losing
the person she loves most in the world: Alanna.</div>

Jase Donovan always knew exactly what to expect from college: frat parties, coeds, and a spot on one of the most prestigious basketball teams in the nation. It was the life he was destined for... until his sister became the Alpha Pack's Most Wanted. Now he's playing a dangerous game of espionage and subterfuge with the most powerful Shifters and Seers in the world, and if he loses, his life won't be the only one on the line.</div>

To complicate matters even more, after being pegged as an Alpha Pack Potential, she's having to fend off advances from Shifters who want to use her to gain a little power. The attention might be nice if her heart didn't already belong to someone else.
In this companion to the best-selling Timber Wolves trilogy, readers will finally discover the path Jase and Talley took to discover their love for one another.

Promise Me This: Sarah Ashley Jones
Welcome to the South - where the tea is sweet and the accents are sweeter. This Southern way of life is all Charlie has ever known. It’s not until she loses the only person who pushed her to break free of the Southern Belle mold that she starts living the life she needs and not the life her parents forced on her.
Jhett has lived on the edge for as long as he could remember - constantly teetering back and forth between being a rock star and living a normal life. His rebellious and sometimes arrogant attitude is known to get him into trouble, especially with the girls who hang on his every move.
Charlie never thought that a trip to pack up her brother’s apartment would leave her feeling even more unsettled about the grainy details of her brother’s death. Her quest for information leads her straight to his old hangout and into arms of Jhett, who suspiciously knows more about her situation than he ever should.
Only a few questions remain - Can you trust someone based on their word alone? And if you make a promise, how far will you go to keep it?
Stealing Promises: Brina Courtney
Promises are made to be kept, never stolen. But that's exactly what happened to Victoria Blane and Levi Manor. Tragedy strikes their perfect relationship leaving Victoria struggling to overcome the darkness that threatens to bury her.

First love is the sweetest....
Jax and Jacey are everyone's favorite couple, even though they've barely kissed.
In kindergarten, Jax pulled out a chair for Jacey and swept the play dough off so that she would sit down next to him and he's been carving out ways for them to stick together ever since. Though everyone in their conservative, small beach town sees them as a couple, they're not, exactly. Because while they both want more, they've agreed to wait.
Jacey works hard, respects her elders and follows every spoken and silent rule about fitting in and doing the ‘right’ thing. She doesn't dare give the gossips more fodder from her family, so she's kept Jax firmly in the friendzone. It takes a hurricane for her to realize timing is everything, but months later she’s still too afraid to put her heart on the line and tell him how she feels. Then plans change – hers for summer and his for college, and Jacey needs to make the most of the time she and Jax have left, or stay stuck in the land of missed beginnings forever<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18629798-jellybean-kisses">

**Catch is a novella. It should take most readers 1 or 2 hours to read.**</div>
When eighteen-year-old Miranda chases a purse snatcher on the Las Vegas Strip, the last thing she expects is for the pursuit to turn into an extended game of hide-and-seek. All Miranda wants are the old black and white photographs buried at the bottom of her purse. They're the only things she has left of the grandmother she never knew. But how much is she willing to put on the line to save them? And is it possible she's falling in love with a thief?

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Easton Crawford put his modeling career and good looks before his marriage until it was over. Years later, he is finally learning how to be the father his daughter needed him to be. He’s not looking for a new mom for his daughter—just nightly casual hook-ups. When his best friend, Avery, convinces him that a good way to meet a lot of single women is to go on a single’s cruise, Easton finds more than just a hook-up when he meets a fellow cruiser, Brooke. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: cyan;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">Summary</span></span></span></div>
<span id="freeText6051883264439310966">She’ll never run. <br /><br />Among
the tiger shifters, Alexis Tarasova is regarded as fierce and
dangerous, with a reputation that would make even the most daring tiger
think twice about challenging her. Female tiger shifters may be rare and
the mating run a critical part of their species’s survival, but Alexis
is the only female Tracker and will not back down, even at the threat of
tiger law. She will not be forced to mate. So when a handful of males
band together to force her to participate in the run, Alexis chooses to
stand her ground and fight instead. <br /><br />He's forbidden to run. <br /><br />Outcast
from the tiger shifters after a vicious childhood attack left him mute,
Victor Romanov has never taken part in the mate run. He’s never
particularly cared, though, since the woman he loves refuses to take a
mate. However, when he learns Alexis may be in danger, all bets are off.
Nothing will keep him from her side. <br /><br />Together, they’re unmovable. <br /><br />The
chemistry between them burns wickedly hot and forges them into an
unbeatable pair. Alexis knows that being with Victor means she will have
to break another one of her people’s laws—a move that might push the
tigers too far. But, for Victor, she will risk everything, including her
life, and do what she thought she’d never do—run. <br /><br /><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Review</span></span><br />Getting this book was mostly on a whim, as the cover of the book drew me in – I had no clue that by purchasing this book, I would find gold. The book was just so entertaining that I couldn't put it down and ended up finishing it in record time. From the tiger shifters, story line, and steamy romance, these were the elements that made the novel great.<br /><br />In any book I read, I will always look for strong female characters, and Alexis – the main female protagonist – was just the perfect character. This female refused anything that stood in her way and would defy anyone that tried to control her in any form. As you read, you will learn so much about her and the love she ultimately claims with the male character, Victor. Now this particular male was special in the book, as he didn't have the ability to speak and was considered a “forbidden object” to Alexis, but she refused to let this stop her. This couple fought and pushed through many obstacles just to be together, and in the long run, they followed their hearts and ignored everything around them.<br /><br />While this book did contain some mature content, it was refreshing to read the romance develop from the ground and work its way up to the more interesting sex scenes that this novel contained – all while not being the main focus of the book. It's hinted at the end that there maybe a second book coming out for this series and I really hope that this is true. It's a great romance novel that I would recommend to many who enjoy paranormal, romance, and/or good stories.<br /></span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span id="freeText4719117355389013412"><b>How far will you go when you have nothing left to lose?</b><br /><br />When
she lost her soul mate, Caleb, Eve felt like her world had ended.
Trapped in the palace, forced to play the part of the happy, patriotic
princess of The New America—and the blushing bride of her father's top
adviser—Eve's whole life is a lie. The only thing that keeps her going
is Caleb's memory, and the revolution he started.<br /><br />Now, Eve is
taking over where Caleb left off. With the help of Moss, an undercover
subversive in the King's court, she plots to take down The New America,
beginning with the capital, the City of Sand. Will Eve be able to bring
about a new, free world when she's called upon to perform the ultimate
act of rebellion—killing her father?<br /><br />In <i>Rise</i>, Eve must
choose who to leave behind, who to save, and who to fight as Anna
Carey's epic tale of romance and sacrifice in the chilling dystopia of
The New America comes to a stunning conclusion.</span><br />

<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Review </span></span><br />
The novels found in the Eve series are definitely something that readers should pick up - they contain great battles of survival and sacrifice. These have found spots in my personal list as some of my favorite dystopian novels.<br />
<br />
The protagonist, Eve, has really went through a dynamic change from the first book to the last. She had started out as a sweet and innocent girl who hardly knew the hardships found hidden by rose-tinted glasses, but along the way of the adventure, she has matured and learned much about love and sacrifice. She has lost and gained friends, but where one would think there would be romance, there is actually none found within the pages of the books – only adventure and action. While some events were hard and forced her to harden, it all resulted in a character who became determined and strong enough to stop the leader of the world. The leader being her own father.<br />
<br />
The ending of this book was indeed great – it really grabs and pulls you in where you can't help but become sadden when you find out that the series is ending for good. It’s remarkable on how much imagination the author put into this series and I hope she has more books planned, because I’m definitely picking up more of her books.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I'm a wife, mother, author, reader, although not always in that order. I write young adult urban fantasies, science/fiction and paranormal romances and have recently started dabbling in young adult contemporary romance. Reading was one of my earliest passions, writing soon followed. I began writing seriously during college where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in accounting. Why I chose a career that frowns on creativity remains a mystery.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I’m addicted to Reese’s peanut butter cups and eat way too many while I write, have an abnormal obsession with hoodies and can’t write without one, and I hate to cook, but love to watch cooking shows on television. An unabashed romantic, I love a swoon-worthy ending that will give me butterflies for days.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I wrote my debut young adult novel, <i><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13425802-pods">PODs</a></i>, in 2011. <i><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13425802-pods">PODs</a></i>, a science/fiction, post-apocalyptic romance, will be released June 4, 2013 through the amazing Spencer Hill Press. My second young adult title, <i><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17737994-milayna">Milayna</a></i>, a paranormal romance, will release through Spencer Hill Press beginning in March 2014. <i><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17737994-milayna">Milayna</a></i> is a standalone, with series potential. It’s meant to be a trilogy. <i>The Infected</i>, a PODs novel, will release November 2014. It is the second, and last, book in the PODs series.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Summary</span></span><br />
A poignant manga, portraying the story of the movie with the same title.<br />
<br />
The
movie tells the story of Taishin Mamiya, a magazine editor who meets
and interviews a young model, Noeru Kisaragi, and becomes sinfully
attracted to him. Their love, however, is forbidden.

I was surprise when I found out about this manga. I've watched the movie years ago and enjoyed it a lot even though it was sad. So this manga I thought would be simlar. The story line is exactly the same making me enjoy it more. <br />
<br />
Taishin is a great and caring guy. He is a bit slow and nave when he meets Noeru. He doesn't know what to do with him but soon he finds himself unable to stand by and watch Noeru do things that are wrong. Noeru with his troubled past is looking in the wrong place to forget about it and Taishin in some way helps him. <br />
<br />
They have a cute releationship and I wish the manga was longer. If I had to choose which I liked more the manga or the movie I would say the movie because there seem to be more of a story with the characters plus the ending though sad was much better then the manga.<br />

<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Summary</span></span><br />Professional rivalry, mistaken identities, unrequited love, and jealousy
test Shinkawa's and Takaaki's friendship on a semi-regular basis. But
when Iwaki Kyousuke, Takaaki's old flame and mentor, returns to seduce
Shinkawa away to a new host club, will Takaaki be able to persuade
Shinkawa to stay, or will his devotion to Iwaki cause him to lose
Shinkawa's partnership?<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Review</span></span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxWx1a1INQg0Ruu5EyrGq_x52d-snTb2nQQ-AbyNc-6NYgPY-1FQgfbeMKe9RHZZ0z9fx99oDR_AYYTLeIWv2r8uEZfzrW8HqM6y9wl8uKN6tKhgpCghVJz6jMKM7wfVFGg3fgkXBdSByz/s1600/cuv_v002_ch012_final_p191.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxWx1a1INQg0Ruu5EyrGq_x52d-snTb2nQQ-AbyNc-6NYgPY-1FQgfbeMKe9RHZZ0z9fx99oDR_AYYTLeIWv2r8uEZfzrW8HqM6y9wl8uKN6tKhgpCghVJz6jMKM7wfVFGg3fgkXBdSByz/s1600/cuv_v002_ch012_final_p191.jpg" height="400" width="247" /></a>I really did enjoy this manga. It had a good mixture of dynamic characters and great love scenes. Each volume brought a interesting story line that made me want to keep reading it.<br />
<br />
Shinkawa and Takaaki are our main characters they work in the world of host or in other words gigolo's.While Takaai is all into his work leaving his personal life at home Shinkawa is the oppisite which causes a lot of drama for the two of them. <br />
<br />
I had one problem with this manga is in the fact that I felt no love between Shinkawa's and Takaaki's. They seem more like sex buddies then lovers. No matter how much I was into the story i didn't like them as a couple. I did like the other characters and I found i wanted more story of those characters then with the two main ones. Sadly not all of my wanted pairings end up together in the end. That's just how manga's or even novel's go. The best stories leave you guessing and the end couple may not be what you have pictured.<br />

<b><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></b><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Summary</span></span><br />Ten-year-old Elvis Jones is tired of being picked on, taunted, and teased by the bullies at his elementary school, so he does what any smart, technologically brilliant kid his age would do: he creates EKHO, the Evil Kid Hunting Organization, a sophisticated network of kid spies and secret agents that utilize a variety of cool gadgets to stay one step ahead of the enemy – the bullies. They hire kids, make them swear allegiance to the organization, and train them as Commandos, Privates, and Elite Spies. As kids rise through the ranks, the missions, posted on an encrypted EKHO website, require more smarts and skill, especially when the bullies form their own counterspy group called DEKE (Destroy EKHO Kids Everywhere).
<br /><br />
It’s all in good fun, until the kids of EKHO must put their pretend skills to use for far more serious, and dangerous, missions. As field agents come across evidence of more sinister forces, they now have to deal with the strange, weird, and the unknown as they look for the truth about the bizarre and creepy threats to their school, their families, and their own lives. They experience betrayal, intrigue, infiltration and counter-espionage as well as teachers and adults who act more mysterious with each passing day, which leaves Elvis and his EKHO team wondering: who can you trust when the person standing next to you might not be entirely human?

much we had to lose until we were infected with magic. Sam was in love,
Juliette was the main caretaker for her siblings, and Ana and her dad planned
the best parties in New York. But we lost it all when we were shipped to
Chebeague, an exclusive school for newly infected mages.</span></span></span></span><span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br />

<span style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto;">Everyone knows about the mages, those who
survive the infection and end up with magical abilities. We’ve seen the power
of magic, the high-paying jobs, and the world fame. But we never saw the cost.
We didn’t know we’d be forced to give up everything: sanity, family, even the
right to talk on the phone.</span><br />

<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />That
was when they kicked the door open.</span></span></span></span></div>

</span></span></span></span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.38in;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><br />Anastasia
and I jumped to our feet. A ball of energy hit me
square in the
chest, knocking me hard into the wall behind me.
Stars exploded
behind my eyes. Before I could even cry out in
pain, they were on me,
wrenching my arms behind my back. As they dragged
me from the room,
Dr. Tanga straightened from where she’d been bent
over Anastasia.
Clear liquid dripped off the tip of a syringe.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span></span></span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.38in;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">My
whole body was numb. My vision kept coming in bits
and flashes. I had
impressions of bright lights, of worn carpet
sliding beneath my
dangling feet. Hands clutched tight at my elbows.
There was a flash
of pain when they dropped me to the ground. My
head lolled, taking in
the ceiling of the theatre, and then the faces of
the others: Sam
shocked, Sebastian’s mouth in a thin line, Dr.
Felix looking like a
marble statue, Ana slumped to the floor across the
room. Dr. Mercer,
running in, tie flapping over his shoulder, Zach
close behind. And
then Dr. Child, his face inches from mine, his
mouth moving.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span></span></span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.38in;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Everything
still seemed so distant. His voice was dulled by a
sound like the
rushing of wind past my ears. I began to shiver
uncontrollably. And
then, in a flash, his voice came back.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span></span></span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.38in;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">“… will
make sure of it, I swear to you. Do you understand
me, Juliette? If
you infect Anastasia, if by intent or by chance
any piece of your
magic touches her, you will never see your family
again.”<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span></span></span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.38in;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Panic
exploded from me. My world had once again gone
silent, but my mouth
was open and my throat aching, so I knew I must be
whimpering or
screaming. I rolled into a ball and clutched my
head in my hands.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span></span></span><div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 100%; text-indent: 0.38in;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">These
past few weeks, once I knew I’d never see my
sister and brother
again, I’d pushed the knowledge down. And now it
all came rushing
back: the visions of Charlie and Georgie alone,
without any love or
attention. Visions of them growing up neglected,
just like me. And
the crushing guilt that this was all my fault,
that if only I’d run
instead of staring entranced at the colors, then
I’d be at home,
safe, caring for the people who needed me most.<br /><br /></span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">

<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Color
swirled behind my eyes, the very echo of what I’d
seen in New
Orleans. I heard a crackling, a hum, and the sound
of people
shouting. And then something crashed nearby, and I
wrenched my eyes
open. The colors were there, filling up the
theatre. And they were
coming from me.</span></span></span></span></div>

Boekweg and Melanie Crouse never dreamed they would actually create a book
worth publishing when they started writing together. Alchemy was merely
supposed to be an exercise in flexibility. And it has been that, but it is so
much more. Friendships that span the American continent have been forged, and
unforgettable characters have been created.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br />

<div>
Since
the age of ten, Mia has lived under the iron fist of the fundamentalist
preacher who lured her mother away to join his fanatical family
of followers. In Edenton, a supposed “Garden of Eden” deep in the South
American jungle, everyone follows the Reverend’s strict
but arbitrary rules—even the mandate of whom they can marry. Now
sixteen, Mia dreams of slipping away from the armed guards who keep the
faithful in, and the curious out. When the rebellious and sexy Gabriel, a
new boy, arrives with his family, Mia sees a chance to escape.<br /><br />But
the scandalous secrets the two discover beyond the compound’s façade
are more shocking than anything they ever imagined. While Gabriel has
his own terrible secrets, he and Mia bond together, more than friends
and freedom fighters. But is there time to think of each other as they
race to stop the Reverend’s paranoid plan to free his flock from the
corrupt world? Can two teenagers crush a criminal mastermind? And who
will die in the fight to save the ones they love from a madman
who’s only concerned about his own secrets?</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I never expect this book to be what it was. I thought it
would be a dystopian futuristic type of deal but it wasn’t it was a cult of
followers and a bad cult at that. Full of suspense and adventure it really drew
me in and I loved every moment.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It through me for a loop when I realized the type of society
called Edenton that Mia and her family was living in. I always found cults
creepy and don’t want to know about them but this Edenton it surprised me how
people let the person in charge do whatever he wanted to them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether it was killing them or
punishing them, they stood there and watched. Of coarse this society is located
Spain far from anyone so no one can help these characters, which annoyed me
most, but I’m glad it was our main character Mia and Gabriel who stood up to
these people. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mia really is a brave girl she asked questions when she
shouldn’t and she even went against the rules. Most of the time the rule
breaking was due to Gabriel. Despite how brain washed everyone was she kept
true to her heart and fought the wrong doings of the place. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gabriel well to describe what he is he’s mostly a stubborn
brat. Though even though he has those quality’s he is a good guy. He never
liked Edenton when he got there so right from the beginning he fought against
the guards which was funny at times. And Despite his tough past Mia changes him
for the better. I love his character and I love how both characters react to
one another. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was some romance in it and I loved the scenes shared
between Gabriel and Mia. It was both cute and fun seeing them together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though during a few scenes it did go a
bit far before it stop and I had to head desk a few times because I wanted
there to be more romance. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Escape from Eden is a great book full of thrilling
adventure. I really enjoyed this book and anyone who loves a good
dystopian/cult book should pick this up and read how these characters fight
against the people in charge. </div>

I’m Elisa. I like cheese and reading and TV show marathons. Writing is
scary, but not as scary as, say, Civil War amputations. I’m an Aquarius.
Uh… let’s see… I’m not very good at writing my own biography. Or
autobiography. I guess this is reading more like a slightly incoherent
personal ad.</div>

<div>
Sixteen-year-old
streetwise orphan, Jax Stone is an expert at surviving in a dangerous
city, where rats rival the homeless for food and shelter, but she’s an
amateur at fighting the immoral mayor when he kidnaps her little
brother. Desperation demands she quickly master the role of courageous
opponent. She uses her hypnotic singing voice to lead rats to their
death, and all the children to safety, in a dying city cursed
by the deadly sun.</div>

<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Review</span></span><br />
“RATGIRL: Song of the Viper” is a unique title for a book, but the contents found within the novel - many will see why the name fits it. This book is a remake of an old fairy tale that takes setting in the future, but this ultimately only makes it more amazing.<br /><br />This story revolves around the main character, Jax - a human female – that lives in a world over run by rats. She, along with other humans, live in the underground networks of the city and only travel at night to collect wares they find suited for trading. There is one character though that doesn't have this problem, and this would be the mayor of the city. The mayor is a dirty rich snob who will take anything he wants, and kill anything that may stand in his way. Jax, being the tough and spunky girl she is, stands up to the mayor and rats, all for the sake of her family that she has created in this corrupted world; that one detail helps me connect to the female protagonist, as I would do anything for the sake of my family. Jax is not alone in the fight as she has her friends Rafe and Colt, a boy that moved from Antarctica to her city for trading purposes, to stand by her side and fight those that wish to stop her.<br /><br />There are a few components in this book that kinda turn the reader off sometimes. One component is the romance – it moved way too fast, but I let it slide as the book was partly romance based and more about adventure. There are some parts where she goes into costume and resulted with me just stopping to stare at the paragraph I read. A few things that bugged me were the lack of explanations given about certain situations. How did Jax and Rafe become friends? Why was Antarctica having times of summer, when it is a place that remains a winter wonderland? So many of these can be considered plot holes and tends to ruin the book if you linger on them.<br /><br />Putting those to the side, the book still remained a good find and I do recommend this to anyone who loves dystopian books. It’s different and a cute remake of a child's story.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
