Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy

Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Nobody said sucking was easy. With a hot new figure, her dream job as an archaeologist, and two gorgeous boyfriends to scratch her seductive Itch -- an angel and a vampire -- Jackie Brighton is totally getting the hang of life as a succubus. Then she accidentally knocks the pizza guy unconscious with her touch. Great -- she's cursed. After striking a deal to get the curse lifted by a crafty demon, Jackie and her best friend Remy take a road trip to deliver a cryptic message to the nation's oldest succubus. Unfortunately, neither of her jealous lovers is talking to Jackie right now, and due to the curse, she's desperate to get her Itch scratched very soon. Their journey gets weirder with every mile -- demonic possession, a charming stalker, a cryptic warning -- and when they get to New Orleans, Jackie discovers a dangerous catch to her supernatural bargain. Someone wants her dead -- again. Can a brainy vixen in a miniskirt outsmart the forces of evil?

This is the second book in the Succubus Diaries. Jackie is getting things together with her work but her personal life isn’t doing so well. But when her powers start doing some weird thing she has to figure things out. And it seems that she has to do it on her own as the men in her life have kind of having issues. So she and Remy go on a road trip to find a cure. This book takes place about a month after the first one. The characters are still trying their best in the situation that they find themselves. The story is fun and you are trying to figure out who is causing the most trouble. I really like this book and can’t wait to read the next book in the series, My Fair Succubi.

Mortal Danger by Eileen Wilks

Genre: Paranormal Romance; Werewolves, Magic, Demons, Sensitives, Warlocks

Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Former homicide cop Lily Yu has a lot on her plate. There’s her sister’s wedding, a missing magical staff with unknown powers, and her grandmother’s sudden decision to visit the old country just when Lily could use a little advise. Maybe she should turn to the man she’s involved with, but for all the passion that flares between them, she doesn’t really know Rule Turner. Yet she’s tied to him for life, both of them caught in an unbreakable mate bond. That Rule is a werewolf, a prince of his people, only complicates matters… Now an agent in a special unit of the FBI’s Magical Crimes Division, Lily’s job is to hunt down Harlowe, a charismatic cult leader bent on bringing an ancient evil into the world. But what Lily doesn’t realize is that Harlowe has set a trap – for her. And then the unthinkable happens. In the blink of an eye, Lily’s world divides and collides, and she is thrust into a new and frightening reality her only hope will be to trust Rule – and herself – or Lily will be lost forever…

This is the second book in the World of the Lupi. And I think this is the first time that I like the second book even more then the first one. The whole plot twist where Lily is split into two was brilliant. The development of Rule and her relationship takes the story to a whole new level. I can’t get enough of this. I found the whole story quite nail bighting. I don’t want to say to much as I think everyone should read this since it’s so good. I can't wait to read the next book in this series, Blood Lines.

Tempting Danger by Eileen Wilks

 

Genre: Paranormal Romance; Werewolves, Magic, Demons, Sensitives, Warlocks

Sub Genre: Urban Fantsy

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Lily Yu is a San Diego police detective investigating a series of grisly murders that appear to be the work of a werewolf. To hunt down the killer, she must infiltrate the clans. Only one man can help her – a werewolf named Rule Turner, a prince of the lupi, whose charismatic presence disturbs Lily. Rule has his own reasons for helping the investigation – reasons he doesn’t want to share with Lily. Logic and honor demand she keep her distance, but the attraction between them is immediate and devastating – and beyond human reason. Now in a race to fend off evil, Lily finds herself in uncharted territory, tested as never before, and, at her back, a man she’s not sure she can trust…

This story is one that I found to be one of those page turners that you just can’t put down. So much is happening and you just can’t seem to get enough of it all. Lily is one of those great female characters that has a good head on her shoulders. Always trying to keep her magic ability away from everyone else as she doesn’t want to be used. So when she meets up with Rule she isn’t sure what to make of him as he seems like he is the main suspect in the murder she is investigating. Even though she believes that he is innocent her other detectives do not and start to think badly of her. But as they both start to rely on one another it brings them together. They both still have a lot to learn about one another and yet they are great together. I liked the whole dynamic of this story. I can’t wait to see where this is going in the next book, Mortal Danger.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Hailed as “impossible to put down,” the Hex Hall series has both critics and teens cheering. With a winning combination of romance, action, magic and humor, this third volume will leave readers enchanted. Just as Sophie Mercer has come to accept her extraordinary magical powers as a demon, the Prodigium Council strips them away. Now Sophie is defenseless, alone, and at the mercy of her sworn enemies—the Brannicks, a family of warrior women who hunt down the Prodigium. Or at least that’s what Sophie thinks, until she makes a surprising discovery. The Brannicks know an epic war is coming, and they believe Sophie is the only one powerful enough to stop the world from ending. But without her magic, Sophie isn’t as confident. Sophie’s bound for one hell of a ride—can she get her powers back before it’s too late?

 This is the third book in the Hex Hall series. Sophie is powerless and sent to Brannicks by Cal. Not knowing what has happened to everyone that she loves she has no idea what she is in store for. This is a story that answers so many questions about this series. It brings all your favorite character's together. Sophie isn't as snarky in this book but she is strong willed and knows her own mind. There are many surprises and twists within this book. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. I loved reading this book and I can't wait to read the spin-off series, School Spirits.

Demonglass by Rachel Hawkins

Genre: Young Adult

Sub Genre: Paranormal Romance; Demons, Witches, Magic, Faeries, Shifters, Vampires, Warlocks, Werewolves

Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Sophie Mercer thought she was a witch. That was the whole reason she was sent to Hex Hall, a reform school for delinquent Prodigium (aka witches, shapeshifters, and fairies). But that was before she discovered the family secret, and that her hot crush, Archer Cross, is an agent for The Eye, a group bent on wiping Prodigium off the face of the earth. Turns out, Sophie’s a demon, one of only two in the world—the other being her father. What’s worse, she has powers that threaten the lives of everyone she loves. Which is precisely why Sophie decides she must go to London for the Removal, a dangerous procedure that will destroy her powers. But once Sophie arrives she makes a shocking discovery. Her new friends? They’re demons too. Meaning someone is raising them in secret with creepy plans to use their powers, and probably not for good. Meanwhile, The Eye is set on hunting Sophie down, and they’re using Archer to do it. But it’s not like she has feelings for him anymore. Does she?

This is the second book in the Hex Hall series. Sophie goes to spend the summer with her father, with her friends Cal and Jenna. But nothing is as it seems. Sophie has a feeling that something isn't quite right. Archer reappears again to a very shaky alliance. This makes for brilliant writing. All our favorite characters are back and we have new ones as well in Daisy, Nick and Lara. Sophie is strong in this story as well. Cal and Archer are brilliant. Archer's dialog with Sophie is great. I loved this book and can't wait to read the next book in the series, Spell Bound.

Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins

Genre: Young Adult

Sub Genre: Paranormal; Vampires, Witches, Warlocks, Werewolves, Shifters, Magic, Faeries, Demons

Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Three years ago, Sophie Mercer discovered that she was a witch. It's gotten her into a few scrapes. Her non-gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie's estranged father--an elusive European warlock--only when necessary. But when Sophie attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, it's her dad who decides her punishment: exile to Hex Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward Prodigium, a.k.a. witches, faeries, and shapeshifters. By the end of her first day among fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard: three powerful enemies who look like supermodels, a futile crush on a gorgeous warlock, a creepy tagalong ghost, and a new roommate who happens to be the most hated person and only vampire on campus. Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her only friend is the number-one suspect. As a series of blood-curdling mysteries starts to converge, Sophie prepares for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all Prodigium, especially her.

This is the first book in the Hex Hall series. Sophie has moved around many times so while she is trying to make friends she does one little spell that turns out to go very wrong. Now she is being sent to Hex Hall. Where she learns more about others like her. But she doesn’t seem to be making very good friends. Sophie is a great character that you really connect with early on. The other characters are just as well written. I really loved this book and can’t wait to see where this series is going. I can't wait to read the next book in this series, Demonglass.

Spark of Magic by Trista Ann Michaels

Genre: Erotic Romance

Sub Genre: Paranormal Romance; Magic, Witches, Warlocks, Vampires, Magical Creatures, Magic series

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Nicholas and Darien had promised their father they would find Rebecca and keep her safe from the warlock who was determined to see her dead. What they never intended was falling in love with her. Rebecca thought dealing with her magical powers was bad enough. Dealing with the identical twin warlocks sent to protect her, as well as her growing attraction to them, was much worse. Until she finds herself the target of the madman who killed her parents. But Sabastian has so much more in store for the threesome, plus a surprise of his own that will shock everyone. It’s not just her life at stake anymore, it’s the fate of her entire world and she’ll have to learn how to better use her powers before it’s too late.

This is the first book in the Magic series. Even though the back mainly talks about Rebecca, Nicholas and Darien there is actually two love stories. The second one is about Rebecca’s best friend Tonya and Marcus who is friends with Nicolas and Darien. There is a lot that is going on in this book. And yes it is hot. Rebecca has no idea what to make of her two identical saviors. But as the story unfolds you see that Rebecca is even capable of doing things that the others didn’t think possible. I really enjoyed reading this book. It had an interesting plot that kept you reading. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Blood Rite.
