<span id="freeText6622877929647497415">"Trust none but yourself."Leilana Erovina's got a bid for power as she takes the final test to become one of her realm's Warlords. As such, she sets out to travel the lands of Adrylis and log magical totems from respectful folk with only one hitch—no ancestral help. The quest is a pilgrimage to learn the basics of human nature. Some would call concepts like gentleness and passion fables of the heart.In another perspective, war brews in the kingdom of Linmus, throwing Adrylis into chaos. Prince Remiel Vesarus finds himself in exile, vengeance on his mind for those who tore his life asunder. His attendant Solus Brenner at his side, they plan on restoring their kingdom against all odds.Fate has drawn these two parties together. Conjoined at the hip, the traveler, prince and right-hand will learn the old saying of magic: "It always comes with a price."</span></div>

was angry, I’m really not, I promise-”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“Hey now, Amiria, no need to be so scared.” Kindall wrapped an arm
around the girl’s shoulders, smirking. “Lei doesn’t bite, not usually.” Amiria
held her arms behind her back and turned her head to keep from looking him in
the eye.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“It’s Leilana,” Leilana said abruptly. “Not Lei, not Leila, it is
Leilana. Live it, learn it, love it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">Kindall raised an eyebrow at her words as he set Amiria free and
allowed her to run off towards Hinju to prepare for her own duel. “Geez, no
need to be so crabby. It was just a little fun with friends.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“We aren’t friends, Kindall.” He jumped back at the proclamation.
“We’re students at the same school fighting for the same goal. That doesn’t
make us friends, does it?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“Well, I, uh… I guess not…? But don’t you think it’s better for
everyone that we tried to get along and be friends? You’re right, we’re all
fighting for the same goal. Some of us are going to be Warlords someday, and we
can all support each other until we get there. Right?” Leilana pondered his
words before she cleared her throat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“…I’m sorry. I’ve got a match.” She stepped past him, and Kindall
stared at her back a moment longer before sighing, reclaiming his spot on one
of the logs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">Leilana stood opposite Amiria, revealing her grimoire for her opponent
to view. Amiria clutched the silver flute in her hands for dear life but kept
her attention on the girl and even managed to narrow her eyes to try and stir
up some intimidation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“Come to think of it,” Lancett whispered to Kindall, “I’ve never seen
Amiria fight before. She doesn’t seem like she’d hurt a fly.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“No, she doesn’t,” Kindall replied, retaining focus on the two. “But
Amiria has skills that a lot of people don’t understand.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“Begin!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">Leilana rapidly flipped through the pages of her grimoire and an array
of fireballs shot out at the girl. Amiria put the flute up to her lips and
closed her eyes, playing out a small melody on the instrument before reflecting
the magic back in Leilana’s direction. Leilana side-stepped out of the way, her
eyes darting between the singed grass and Amiria herself, who was starting up
another melody on her flute. She scoffed before flipping through the grimoire,
stopping on a page, mumbling a scripture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">From the book, a pair of teeming hands cloaked in shadows emerged,
grabbing the flute from Amiria’s grasp and snapping it in half before her very
eyes. Amiria blinked away the tears starting up as she stared at her destroyed
instrument, collecting the fractured pieces. With each passing second, her eyes
grew dark and clouded. Leilana outstretched her right palm, sending the hands
propelling towards her. Before they could reach her, Amiria inhaled deeply and
closed her eyes, belting out a single high note in a pitch of middle C. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">The single note, prolonged over several seconds, caused the hands to
shatter away. Leilana froze as the note progressed, the ground around her beginning
to tremble before giving way under her. She let out a shriek as the chasm
opened, reaching out a hand as she fell. Amiria gasped when she realized what
was occurring, covering her mouth with both hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“Leilana!” Lancett raced forward, sliding on his side as he ran,
grabbing her by the arm. Several other students rushed to his aide, helping the
girl out of the chasm. Leilana laid a hand on her chest, finding it difficult
to regain herself, her frame quivering from shock. Lancett gently placed both
hands on her shoulders, forcing her to face him. “Are you all right?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“Y-Yeah, just… just a little shaken up…” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">He bowed his head, hands still on her shoulders, sighing heavily.
“Good. I’m glad.” Hinju was still in a bit of shock himself, his gaze reflected
on Amiria now, who continued to put the pieces together in her mind about what
she had done. After coming to his senses, he held up his staff, moving
stalagmites of the earth back into place to mend the open crater, sealing it
shut.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“I-I… I am so sorry, Leilana!” Amiria choked out, taking one step back
after another. “I-I don’t… I don’t know what happened, I just…! I’m sorry!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“It’s okay,” Leilana replied softly. “I’m not dead or anything.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“B-But-”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 106%;">“Hey, don’t beat yourself up over it,” she interjected, “Don’t worry.
I’m fine. I promise.” Leilana heaved a sigh. “Okay, maybe not completely true,
I’m a little bummed that I lost so terribly, and so fast. After all that work I
put into learning the concepts of the Lasette…” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

smirking. “It’s all a learning experience. You can definitely do better next
time.” She averted her gaze from him.</span></div>

A life in shambles
<br />
<br />
Lyr might be a powerful elven lord in charge of thousands, but his personal life is a disaster. Just the month before, a daughter he’d never known existed arrived from Earth, giving him news of his lost love’s death. Since then, he has been betrayed, captured, and almost murdered. And though his enemy was defeated, Lyr’s wounds never seem to heal. He certainly doesn’t need more conflict.
<br />
<br />
A perilous journey
<br />
<br />
Amid the glittering perfection of Alfheim, Meli is a dismal failure. Haunted by visions of people and places she’s never seen, she struggles to find her place. So when her king orders her to lead an expedition to another world, Meli is caught between shock and terror. How can she navigate the Veil between worlds with no magic of her own? But with Alfheim threatened by strange, dark energy, she has no choice.
<br />
<br />
A threat that spans worlds
<br />
<br />
The last thing Lyr expects is the arrival of the Ljósálfar, the reclusive Norse elves of Alfheim. More surprising? One among them, Meli, is a possible soulbounded, a link he’d believed lost with his previous love. But wounded and besieged with problems on every side, he can’t let himself be distracted. Poisoned energy is flooding into the closely connected realms of the fae, causing sickness, and Lyr must rush to find the source of the threat.
<br />
<br />
Only Moranaia remains untouched—leading Lyr to suspect one of his own people might be to blame. </div>

<b>**Some Spoilers**</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first book had me a little confused because of all the different characters you had to follow. But as I got into the second book it became clear as to why there were so many different characters and it was much easier to follow and understand. As I got deeper into this book the more interesting it got. The first book was more about Kai and Arlyn. This book went more into Lyr and him meeting his new soulbound.<br />
<br />
The end of the first book Lyr was paranoid. I totally understand why he was. Going into the second book you learn he was also scared to go into the Library. Well don't really scared, more or less he wanted to avoid it at all cost because it always seems to bring up the memory of him almost losing his mother. Now we learn about the poison from the first book. Now it has seem to touch Alfheim. A realm all to itself. They pride themselves. They didn't want to ask for help but the older seer insisted on it. She also insisted on Meli, a women with no magical ablilities to lead the people through the veil. This guy named Poi who was apart of the group showed Meli that should could and gave her these runes they only work for her. Through the course of her life she has had dreams of a man with green eyes. She didn't know who it was until she met Lyr. Now they both think they have seen each other before. Come to find out they have. And Lyr and Arlyn didn't want to believe it at first. Lyr doesn't really care that Amiee his old lover has been reincarnated. Yes he misses her but he is in love with Meli.<br />
<br />
So we found out Kein, the prince who has been banished is the one causing the problems because he wants to come back and take over the throne. He feels a seer shouldn't be in control. Then Kai finds his father in all this mess.<br />
<br />
The book was amazing and I am glad I read it. Kai and Arlyn are the best. Their relationship is amazing. Even though it was kinda forced. But Arlyn went through it. I think Lyr and Meli make a wonderful couple as well and I am glad she went through the bounding as well. I am excited to see what is in store for them next since Ralan said that they will be fighting Kein another day. Is anyone going to die? Will they actually stop him? So many questions left unanswered. </div>

A deathbed promise
<br />
<br />
Arlyn’s quest is simple: Find her father and let him know her mother is dead. After all, Arlyn had promised her mother she’d go. The problem? Her father's people are myths and legends, and he doesn't even live on Earth. But despite a long journey through the mysterious mists of the Veil, finding him turns out to be the easy part.
<br />
<br />
A dream long-buried
<br />
<br />
After five hundred years, Kai has given up on finding his soulbonded. So when he stumbles across Arlyn after returning from his latest mission and recognizes her as his mate, Kai starts their bond in haste. But he never could have imagined that his bonded is his best friend’s newfound daughter. Whoops.
<br />
<br />
A hidden conspiracy sparked to life
<br />
<br />
Though the sight of Kai makes Arlyn’s heart pound, she isn’t sure she can forgive him for starting their bond without her permission. But her love life is the least of her problems. Her father is an elf lord, and his sudden acknowledgment of a half-human heir reignites the same conspiracy that took him away from her mother in the first place. Now Arlyn and her family must face iron wielding assassins, bigotry, and her newly awakened magical abilities if they hope to come through in one piece.
<br />
<br />
Arlyn thought she would return to Earth after meeting her father. Now she must fight to save the family she never knew she wanted. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Soulbound by Bethany Adams </b>was a pretty decent read. I enjoyed what was going on in the story. I want to read the rest of the series to know what is going to happen between Kai and Arlyn.<br />
<br />
The book is about this girl names Arlyn. She comes from earth to the elven lands to find her father Lyr. Her father didn't even knew she existed till up until the point she founds him. His soulbounded didn't tell him that she was going to be having a child. Growing up Arlyn heard all different kinds of stories about her father from her mother. Well she meets her father and returns to pick up her stuff in the woods and runs into Kai. Kai finally finds his Soulbounded. So without thinking he started the process. So not only does he not know the whole situation but he pretty much just caused a big problem without knowing. Though they all end up getting along and she is excepted into the home. She really starts to fall for Kai. Then everything slowly falls apart. The whole someone trying to assassinate Kai and then Kai's father is actually are really messed up dude in the head. But everything in the end turns out really well!<br />
<br />
Arlyn is great. She is not a damsel in distress and she consistently reminds everyone of that. She doesn't like being bossed or pushed around. She is a little shy at first but she does warm up to them it may take time. Well with being in a new area and a new set or rules and formalities. I can understand why she is so withdrawn. Kai, is your hot not so average elf. Muscles, black hair, and eyes to just die for. He is very protective over Arlyn but that is to be expected since she is his soulbound. But he lets her do her thing. Sometimes he says things and she doesn't approve, but they both seem to love each other and it is adorable.<br />
<br />
Everything that was going for this book was great. The concept was great. The only thing that I did not like was there were to much going on to really keep up with. So many different characters to keep up with. Don't get me wrong it was still a great read and you all should pick it up and give it a go! I can't wait to read the next books <3.</div>

<blockquote>
<span id="freeText6492180582379680812"><b>To defy gods, she will sacrifice all.</b></span><br />
After the death of its duchess, Safrana is in turmoil. Two equally powerful families vie for power, quickly turning the beautiful citadels of Safrana into a hellish warscape. While, on the outside, there is a desperate search for the one true heir to the throne. The one man who could stop an encroaching civil war and force the citadels into peace.<br />
But he is no where to be found. Presumed dead. While a threatening war looms over Safrana, promising to tear it apart.<br />
Thrust into a political world which only buys and sells in blood money, with an impending civil war at hand, Marceline Brandy is called to take charge of a peace effort in a foreign city. But nothing is certain in this world rife with political strife. Everything must be questioned, even a push for peace.<br />
Desperate to complete her mission, Marceline soon finds herself tangled up in the strange political affairs of an arrogant woman with dangerous ties to the long lost heir of the Safranian throne. But there is another, more powerful presence that lurks on the borders of Safrana’s imploding government. A presence that would stop at nothing to see Marceline and her allies fail.<br />
Seized by a foreign city she is sworn to save, she has few to turn to for help. The list of allies she could count on is cut short by corrupt patriotists hungry for war and livid at the mere notion of foreign driven peace. Months pass as Marceline heads this peace effort, but the fiercer she works the more dire the situation becomes and time is running out.<br />
A war looms, one that promises to destroy Safrana, as mythological creatures rise from ancient graves. The fiends intent on absolute destruction.<br />
Is this an all-out test of Marceline’s strength and will?<br />
Or, are the gods themselves against her?</blockquote>

An ancient legend draws them together.
His dark soul will tear them apart.
Sometimes the only fairytales that exist are the dark ones.
<br />
<br />
For the past two years, Hope Annandale has fought to hold onto her sanity. Plagued by voices and visions, she struggles to understand what’s real, and what’s an illusion. As the lines between reality and hallucination blur, Hope discovers things that shouldn’t be real, suddenly exist. When Hope’s world falls apart, figuring out the secrets of her past becomes a matter of life and death. And the only one who can save her is the dangerously attractive demon prince, who is bound by an ancient legacy to betray her. The fate Stone has fought to escape is here. With destiny on one side, and desire on the other, Stone must protect Hope from the one thing he can’t hide from, his birthright.
<br />
<br />
What if the one person you were meant to be with could never be yours? Stolas, the first novel in the Dark Soul series is a riveting tale of passion, danger and forbidden love. Intended for mature readers.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Stolas by Randi Cooley Wilson</b> was an amazing read! There were so much stuff in this book that will make you want more. I didn't want this book to end. The love that was brewing over between Hope and Stone had me going all over the place. I wanted them to date, to be together even though I know they couldn't. Well in Stolas's eyes they couldn't, but there is always a way around it. He just hasn't found it yet.<br />
<br />
Stolas is about a girl named Hope and a guy named Stolas. All her life she thought she was mentally ill. She could see things no one else could see. She was put in a place called Shadowbrook, a home for the mentally ill. While there she met a girl named Avi who claimed she was the daughter of Lilith and her roomie Lore. Then she went on to meet Lev and Vassago. She thought they were just as crazy as she was. One night she was out after curfew and was walking outside when she saw this guy sitting there in the cold and snow. He disappeared and reappeared to her in the piano room. There on her whole entire world turned upside down. Stolas is the prince of the Nine Circles, the son of Lucifer. His mission was to bring Hope, who is an oracle to join the dark souls. Well he does just that. But she still doesn't believe him. She still thinks she is mentally ill and that she was kidnapped. It took a while for her to believe. But once she actually did her feelings for Stolas grew and the feelings for Hope grew. But Stolas knew better, she was a human, and he was a demon. There was no being together. But she wants to save him, so she will do everything in her power to be with him.<br />
<br />
The book was amazing. The characters were amazing. Stolas was a huge huge ass, but he is a prince of hell and a demon so I can completely understand. There were parts of the book where I was scared for Hope. But she is a strong women and she stuck it out and didn't back down. The bad thing about this book was the ending. I am definitely not going to spoiled that for anyone who wants to read the book. But the ending had me throwing a fit. Still an amazing book and I cannot wait for the second one.</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then she allowed her lips turn up in a grim smile. It
certainly was a game. The boy just didn’t realize that her rules were
different, and he was about to lose.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Her tongue reached into the cavity of her cheek and
retrieved the plump goshen berry hidden there. As his lips neared, Coren broke
the berry against her teeth, bracing for the instant burn. Then, tongue
searing, she shoved the pulp past his opened lips, preventing the claim.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He burst away, the shock of the acidic berry sending him
stumbling backward, swiping drool from his slack jaw.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And she ran, darting around him and ignoring the pain and
the blisters that were already bubbling and popping on her tongue and lips.
Reaching the cliff, she hazarded a glance over her shoulder. He was tougher
than expected, for he was crossing the plain too, moving quickly through the
sandy grass.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Stop!” he yelled hoarsely. Strangely, he was grinning
widely, lips blackened with goshen juice and bright blood. Coren had no more
ground left, but out of curiosity, she paused to watch as he approached. He
walked softly now, as though she were a beast he was cornering. Perhaps he was
a real hunter, after all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Even so, the berries had stopped him, making the kiss
forfeit. She could claim he hadn’t actually caught her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“So…goshen berries?” he asked, wiping away more blood with
the hem of his white shirt. “I must be the first hunter ever to receive that
treatment.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Coren’s brain nagged at her to escape, but something in his
grin made her ask. “Why the first?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Because surely no one has ever caught you before. And I
can’t imagine another girl willing to martyr her own lips just to avoid a small
kiss.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He was very close now: not quite near enough to grab her,
but mere steps from it. She stepped back carefully, heels nearly hanging off
the edge of the cliff.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Nothing is small when it is against your will.” She watched
his eyes widen as he processed the words, and then she bent her knees and
pushed away from the earth, arcing back and out into the void, then straight as
an arrow toward the water below. His shout was erased by the wind rushing past
her ears, and then the water closed over her head with a crash.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Under the surface of the sun-warmed water, Coren
somersaulted quickly and reversed directions. She surfaced only to locate the
face of the cliff and gulp a breath, and she didn’t dare look up to see if he
had spotted her. Ducking back under the waves, she stroked hard against the
current, finally feeling rock. Her lungs throbbed as her head bobbed up again,
but she was safely inside the hidden sanctuary.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hilary was born to parents who made a habit of taking roads less traveled. But she was also a first child, and an independent, willful child, so she's made a habit of taking a few roads on her own.</span></div>

The end of an Empire, the rise of a Queen
<br />
<br />
Emory Fae enjoys leading a quiet, normal life. That is until two mysterious, and handsome soldiers show up at her apartment, and the life she knew is instantly whisked away. Memphis Carter and Brokk Foster come from the magical and war ridden world of Kiero, and upon Emory's arrival she will discover she is the long-lost heir to the Royal Line and is thrown into the Black Dawn Rebellion with a dynamic role to ignite the rebels and reclaim her throne.
<br />
<br />
With both men being darkly woven in her past Emory uncovers hidden secrets, a power held long dormant, and will soon realize there are worse things than supernatural humans, love, loss, betrayal, and a Mad King.

<span id="freeTextreview1934346053" style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">Black Dawn is the first book tin the series by Mallory McCartney. It was a really good read and with it being a short story so much has happened in the book. It was a really amazing story. I was confused at first during the beginning with the Prologue and then the start of the book but once I understood what was going on I enjoyed it just as much as the next person. My one concern is there were so many different people. I do love all the points of views but I really didn't get to know everyone within that short bit of time during the book. I guess that is why I was so confused at first cause you were throw into multiple perspectives.<br /><br />Black Dawn is placed in a fantasy world called Kiero. Everyone here has unique abilities. A king named Adair took the throne by force by killing almost everyone in the fae line. "Almost". The last person in the fae line is Emory Fae. She asked her friends Brokk and Memphis to send her away so she doesn't get killed. But thus leaving behind her world and her friends to fight this mad man. Not everyone is to happy about her return, they are upset because she just left them to fend for themselves. Brokk and Memphis on the other hand are glad to see her.<br /><br />Which this book I don't seem to have a favorite character yet. I do like Nyx because she has that bad ass attitude. I also felt sorry for what she was going through with Memphis. But then she kind of pissed me off because of what she did but I should of known she was going to do it. Emory was another character who I like because even though with everything that was going on she actually didn't try to leave like she said she was going to do in the beginning. She trucked it all out which gave her the "I am in for the long haul" trophy. Brokk was another character that I enjoyed reading about. I also felt sorry for him because of what Memphis did. But learning about his and Emory's story kind of made me sad.<br /><br />One other thing that had me dislike Memphis is because of what he did to Emory and Brokk. But this love square thingy has to go and I think it did when I found out the story about Brokk and Emory. Now that just makes me mad cause through the whole beginning I was hoping it would be Brokk and Emory. But that went out the door freaking faster that I could say banana. The other thing is I felt like the ending was a bit rushed in my opinion. But with everything that was going on in a short amount of time I can understand. Other than that it was a great read and I cannot wait for the next book.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;"> </span><br />

There is no such thing as happily ever after. Everything Charlotte Winston thought she knew has been thrown out the window. From the moment she opens her eyes, the world she remembered ceases to exist, and in its place is a post-apocalyptic realm filled with unimaginable dangers. And one very smoking hot guy who has an uncanny ability to make her blood sing, then boil in a blink of an eye. Dash Darhk is everything her parents would hate. He's six feet and two inches of dark temptation and a killer smile, that's surely left a stream of broken hearts in his wake. But her parents are nowhere to be found. Charlotte is alone in this new world. Destroyed by a toxic mist, the land isn't the only thing altered, but the inhabitants as well. As Charlotte begins the hunt for her family, gifts she's never fathom awake inside her. And with the gifts come problems. Enormous ones. Charlotte is running out of options and places to hide. If she can't figure out who to trust-and fast-she will lose more than her heart. Fans of Hunger Games, The 100, and Divergent will fall in love with Slumber.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Slumber</b> is book 1 to hopefully a long series. I have enjoyed ever single book J.L Weil has published. So when I got a chance to get this book and review it I was super excited. Once I started I could not stop. The book was amazing. Everything about it blew me away.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Charlotte wakes up from a long sleep. It was like a sleeping beauty moment. Dash, the handsome young prince who breaks into these facilities that hold all these people during their slumber. Finds her and he couldn't help himself. He had to kiss her which in turns wakes her up from her long slumber. He saves her from being caught by the Night Guard. But while she was running for her life with this man everything she sees, knows and loves is no more. Her whole entire world just gets turned upside down. While Dash ins looking for his family, Charlotte convinces him to take her along so he can help her find her family. They have this connection that they keep denying until Dash confesses something that throws everything out the window.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Charlotte is by far my favorite character. She has all these different powers and she doesn't take crap for crap. She puts her foot down when she needs to and that is what I like about her. Dash is another character I favor. Despite what he told Charlotte he still is a book boyfriend that I would want.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The way it ends and how it ends makes you want to read more. I cannot wait for the second book to come out. Whatever happens in the second book all I got to say someone better save someone or I am going to throw something.</div>

This was a very long historical fiction read. But I enjoyed every minute of it. I usually don't read historical fictions. This one by far was the first. Claire Warner did a wonderful job with this book and I hope there is more to come.<br />
<br />
It was indeed different when we talk about immortals. Usually immortals come to be because of like vampire-ism, or being a bad ass warrior or something else like that beyond the sorts. But in this book being an immortal you get it from this beautiful brooch in the shape of a black lotus. But in order to stay healthy and fit, you must put your wounds onto another. You have to make the person look into the lotus and they take on all your wounds.<br />
<br />
I love Melissa, she hated how the world ways. She hated the fact her reputation was always on the line. She wished she was born a male so she didn't have all those things to worry about. None the less she was born a female so now she has to deal with it. With her falling for Justin, it is who she wanted to be with. She loved him. But everyone told her otherwise, and she hated every moment of it. You would get lucky if you married to the man you feel in love with. It is all about reputation. If that was me I would feel the same way.<br />
<br />
<b>The Black Lotus by Claire Warner </b>is about the lovely Melissa. She steps into the world of seasons to try and find a husband. That will be liked by her family and have a good reputation. But just like other females. She falls for Justin Lestrade, a cad, a womanizer, someone who doesn't care for anything. Until he meets Melissa, both of their worlds change. Justin didn't want to bring her into his world. He didn't want to ruin her reputation. But she wanted him and as did he. After being accused for something he didn't do, he was banished. He was happy in a sense because then he can leave and Melissa can find someone better suit for her and her family to be happy with. It didn't go well, Emily, someone who is just like Justin, brought her into their world anyway. Now she is but like the rest of them. Now Justin has to work extra hard into finding a cure.</div>

Pirates no longer roam the seas.
Phantom Islands don’t exist<br />
<br />
Nanny to a wealthy family, eighteen-year old Alexandria “Lexi” Greendale sends most of what she earns home to support her disabled brother. She is determined to help him get the surgery he needs to walk again. Her dreams come to an abrupt halt when she rescues a man from drowning.<br />
<br />
How does he repay her? Captain Storm Orath abducts her, claims her as his chosen mate, and takes her to a magical island that is centuries behind times with barbaric customs.
For Lexi to make it home to her family, she must fight the lure of the man and the island he controls, and escape, or stay trapped forever.<br />
<br />
This is Part I of a 3-Part New Adult UF Serial about a woman and her journey of discovery, adventure, and unforgettable love.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Storm by Ednah Walters </b>is about a girl named Alexandria or Lexi for short. She had a semi-decent life. Her stepmom became angry after her father had died. Her brother is currently in a wheelchair and her stepmother blames her for it. She is watching the girl named Sienna, a nanny so to speak. They were about to go on a business cruise with Sienna's father. Then he gave her the best news ever, she had to miss going to college to help take care of Sienna and he would pay for her brother's surgery and everything. She wasn't complaining she took the offer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She meets a guy named Storm Orath and his merry men/women. Then they just up and kidnapped her because of some dude visiting her in the middle of the night. She thought it was Storm at first but they claim it wasn't. So after the whole kidnapping he tells her that she is his mate and she doesn't believe anything he has to say. The whole time with her being on the Island she is planning her escape. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lexi was by far amazing. I love how Ednah made her with a bad ass attitude and the fact that she didn't fall for Storm so quickly. She really showed her feelings very well. I could tell she was happy with where she was at. She was scared and pissed off. She wanted to get back home to her brother and to make sure he got that surgery. But if that was me I would want to too. Storm on the other hand love toying with Lexi. He couldn't get enough of her. He was very clingy and happy. He was so happy that he found his mate. Storm wanted her to understand but she just didn't want to, she wanted to go home.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ednah Walters always knows how to get me to nonstop read in one day. I loved her Runes series of books. This book was another one that I definitely did not want to put down. I was hooked when I read the first couple of paragraphs. I never read a book about Pirates and mates, so it was something new to me and she blew it out of the water for me. I can't wait to read more of her books. I especially can't wait for book two. She never disappoints me.</div>

Dragons. Right. Teenage girls don’t believe in fairy tales, and sixteen-year old Elena Watkins was no different.
Until the night a fairy tale killed her father.
Now Elena’s in a new world, and a new school. The cutest guy around may be an evil dragon, a Prince wants Elena’s heart, and a long dead sorcerer may be waking up to kill her. Oh. And the only way Elena’s going to graduate is on the back of a dragon of her own.
<br />
<br />
Teenage girls don’t believe in fairy tales. Now it’s time for Elena to believe – in herself.</div>

<b>Firebolt by Adrienne Woods </b>was about a girl named Elena. Her and her father have been on the run for most of their lives. Until one day the people or should I saw dragons they were supposedly running from caught up to them. They killed her father and she barely survived herself. The person that they were going to meet took her to this placed called Paegeia. She was put into a world she couldn't believe in. Her little mind could process the fact that dragons and magic were real. Here she is struggling to learn all the subjects they are teaching in this school.<br />
<br />
To be honest, this was an under alright book. The beginning of the book was the best. It had me going. I was excited to see what was going to happen next. Then all of a sudden it went down hill from there. Most of the book was about her going to school and dealing with classes. He even "falls in love" with the price of Tith the first week she has been going to school. It was way to slow and dragged on. The ending was good when things started to pick up again.<br />
<br />
Elena was the main character in the book and I felt as though her character was undeveloped. She was very annoying. There was nothing amazing about her at all. There is so much potential in this book. The other characters were the same way. I just could not get into them like I wanted to. The relationship between Elena and Lucian was unreal and made to quickly.<br />
<br />
The ending of this book wanted me to read more. So that is what I will do. I will go to the second book and continue on from there.<br />

Karina didn’t set out to free the Seelie Queen’s gallowglass. Now she’ll do anything to keep him.
<br />
<br />
After Karina and her brother, Chris’s, lives fall apart in separate yet equally spectacular ways, they leave New York behind and head to the UK. Karina buries herself in research for her doctoral thesis, all the while studiously not thinking about the man who broke her heart, while Chris—who’d been a best-selling author before his ex-fiancée sued him for plagiarism—drinks his way across the British Isles.
<br />
<br />
In Scotland, they visit the grave of Robert Kirk, a seventeenth- century minister who was kidnapped by fairies. No one is more shocked than Karina when a handsome man with a Scottish brogue appears, claiming to be the Robert Kirk of legend. What’s more, he says he spent the last few hundred years as the Gallowglass, the Seelie Queen’s personal assassin. When they’re attacked by demons, Karina understands how dearly the queen wants him back.
<br />
<br />
As Karina and Robert grow closer, Chris’s attempts to drown his sorrows lead him to a pub, and a woman called Sorcha. Chris is instantly smitten with her, so much so he spends days with Sorcha and lies to his sister about his whereabouts. When Chris comes home covered in fey kisses, Karina realizes that the Seelie Queen isn’t just after Robert.
<br />
Can Karina outsmart the Seelie Queen, or is Robert doomed to forever be the Gallowglass?</div>

Zombies too. She grew up in the wilds of Western Massachusetts and had read every book in the local library by age twelve. (It was a small library). An early love of mythology and folklore led to her epic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Parthalan, and her day job as a cubicle monkey helped shape her urban fantasy, Copper Girl. When she’s not writing about things that go bump in the night (and sometimes during the day) she’s working on her MFA in Creative Nonfiction.<br />

As Avoria helps Cornelius execute his conquest of Wonderland, she plots her own vengeance against the world that cast her out. In the city's cold shadows, Avoria finds pawns in the souls that defied her, truth in the reflection that calls to her, and power in the past that forged her.

The asteroid hurtling toward the earth will kill billions.</div>

When an enigmatic benefactor hands Maia Graystone a spot in the Trials, she won’t just get a chance at salvation for her and her baby brother, Max: She gets to confront the mother who abandoned her in prison, the mad Emperor who murdered her father, and the Gold prince who once loved her.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">An assassin . . . that’s what I am.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I’m Wade Chandler by day and a killer at night. I get the job done no matter the cost. Not only do I hunt people for the FBI, but I’m also the owner of Chandler Enterprises, one of the top companies in the southeast.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When Brina Carmichael – daughter of the former president – wants my business advice, it’s hard to resist her long legs and seductive smile. One thing leads to another and now I’m in too deep.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I can’t let her know what I am, but I’ve never wanted a woman the way I want her.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, harboring secrets comes at a price and I have a feeling she’s keeping some of her own. Especially, when my next mission leads me straight to her.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Turns out she’s not who I thought she was.</span></div>

But her shop isn't what she expect, it isn't getting the business that she wants. So her mom asked her to go get help from her childhood friend Wade Chandler.

Returning home now everyone in the world knows her and Wade are sort of a thing.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wade agrees to help her and the begin to build their relationship together. Soon after her business starts booming and they are both happy. While they were in California for the fashion show, her brother was shot.

During Christmas everyone finds out they are getting married and they finally figure out that they are having a girl. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I enjoyed this book so much. It was filled with hot and passionate nights. I did figure out some of what was going on before it happen. But the figuring out about Brina blew my mind. I am happy they decided to stay together! They make a great couple. I can't find anything that I hate about this book. I do have to go read the first stand-alone book in the series. Great book, I can't wait for the next one!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A mortal alchemist. A faerie king. A bond that transcends death.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Betrayed by a trusted mentor, Sylvie Imanthiya hides on the fringes of society, caring for half-fae orphans and trading her alchemical creations on the black market. She lives for the one night each season when she can see her dearest friend—a man whose destiny is far above hers.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">King Taylan Ashkalabek knows better than to exchange halayda vows with a mortal. Even their friendship is a risk; love is an impossible dream. Then a brutal alchemical attack poisons his realm, unearthing a dark power within him—and leaving Sylvie with the ancient mark of Faerie’s savior.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Manifesting unpredictable abilities and aided by allies with their own secrets, Sylvie and Taylan journey into the wilds of Faerie to heal the damage and confront Casimir, an invincible star-fae determined to claim the realm as his own. But only their enemy knows Sylvie’s true capabilities—and Taylan’s weaknesses—and how to use them in his vicious schemes.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Her fate is life. His fate is death. With Faerie in the balance, Sylvie and Taylan must stand together before reality as they know it is destroyed.

<b>Rule Number One: Never let anyone get too close…</b>
<br />
<br />
Weston Wyndham has more money on his tattooed wrist than I’ll ever have in my bank account.
<br />
<br />
Drunk, he was gorgeous, wicked, sexy, an inked god.
Sober, he is the most arrogant man ever.
<br />
<br />
If he thinks I’m going to let him order me around like one of his servants, he’s wrong. If he wants me to date him after all this, he’s out of his mind. I don’t care how rich he is, or that he drives a Ferrari and a fancy truck. Those walls I put up are there for a reason … and they were built to last.
<br />
<br />
But he’s relentless, and hot, and it turns out he likes his girls a little fiery. Giving in doesn’t have to mean disaster—unless I break my number one rule.
<br />
<br />
Special O’Malley is a handful. With a name like that, she ought to be. Sassy as hell, bossing me around, but damn if I don’t deserve it.
<br />
<br />
I’m used to getting my way, dealing with difficult people, only she’s not buying any of it. Usually my money attracts women. Not Special. She doesn’t give a damn about it … or me.
<br />
<br />
There’s more than one stubborn player in this game. I have a few tricks up my sleeve and I’m not planning on giving up any time soon … at least not until I’m between her thighs, making her moan. And those concrete walls she has … I have news for her. Concrete crumbles if you strike at the right place.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">One day, on her way home from work as a sales manager, USA Today bestselling author, A. M. Hargrove, realized her life was on fast forward and if she didn't do something soon, it would be too late to write that work of fiction she had been dreaming of her whole life.

Kyle Issac is a player in the biggest of ways. He’s not into relationships. Fun is all he wants, but one night with his sister’s best friend changed him in ways he can’t explain. Maybe because she was the only girl who turned him on and then shot him down. Maybe because she’s off limits in a way that has him wanting more of her. He’s not sure but something definitely changed and now he’s looking for another chance to even the scoreboard. He’s got one summer to do it.
<br />
<br />
Emily Emerson is not a relationship type girl like her best friend Madison Issac. However after her newest fling gone wrong, she’s starting to realize the fun carefree way Em is lost. Maybe a relationship is the kind of thing she needs to get herself out of this funk. But Kyle Issac, her forever crush is not going to be it. The longest he’s dated a girl was a weekend tops. How can she find someone though if Kyle is always there butting in? So, she turned him down three times, she figured he’d get over it and move on. Apparently not.
<br />
<br />
With wants and doubts confusing her, one question remains: Does Kyle really want her or is she just another game for him to win?

I know it has been a long time since I have posted anything at all. But I am slowly but surely coming back. My life has been super freaking crazy. But I got a baby boy on the way, I am due in 4 weeks <3. It has been a long and painful journey but it will all be over soon and I will be able to see what the little guy looks like :D! I am hoping that I can go back to doing this blog and making it better! So bare with me in my be slow, I do have a lot of books that I want to read and I can't wait!</div>

So there is an outbreak, which leads to a zombie apocalypse. But nevermind why this outbreak occurs, just know that it happens. Naturally, sh*t hits the fan and the bad guys skip through the streets. Queue the mayhem along with the general breakdown of society. Blah. Blah. Blah. How manytimes has this tired story played out?</div>
<div style="color: #555555;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #555555;">To revolt against what is considered the standard undead mythos, some author is going to produce twinkling, lovesick zombies. The beautification of the zombie will be the next big thing in Hollywood… either that, or things will swing back to pirates. or maybe outer space ninjas. Who am I to predict the next big fad in entertainment? What I can tell </span><span style="color: #555555;">you is that Sinners and Saints: A Patriot’s Manifesto is unlike any zombie story you have heard before </span><span style="color: #555555;">because it is my story.</span><br />
<span style="color: #555555;">My name is Zoey Major and I live in Fort Star, New Jersey. I am also a survivor in the zombie </span><span style="color: #555555;">apocalypse. Seems very cut and dry but I have been hiding something- like really huge. My secret is </span><span style="color: #555555;">game changing. I am not like the others... I know, what a surprise twist! Unfortunately, I can’t tell you </span><span style="color: #555555;">why I am different. If you really want to know, you have to figure it out. Hey, even in these dark </span><span style="color: #555555;">times, a girl needs her secrets.</span></div>

It’s tough being a faery in New Orleans, a city fraught with vampires… especially when their very existence drains your life-force.
<br />
<br />
Willow Rhoswen, owner of The Fated Cupcake and part-time vampire hunter for the Void is having a rough week. Four years after her twin brother’s mysterious death, Willow’s life is threatened and the director saddles her with a new partner—her ex-boyfriend, David. To her horror, he’s turned vamp, which causes her physical pain whenever she touches him… and any other specimen of the undead.
<br />
<br />
In order to save Willow’s life, David agrees to turn double agent against the most powerful vampire organization in New Orleans. Or so he says. And she’s convinced they know something about her brother’s death. Unsure where David’s loyalties lie, she turns to Talisen, her childhood crush, to help her solve the mystery.
<br />
<br />
Caught between two gorgeous men and a director who’ll stop at nothing to control Willow’s gifts, she’ll have to follow her instincts and learn who to trust. Otherwise, she risks losing more than just her life. </div>

Influential Magic, is about a lovely fae named Willow. She owns her very own cupcake shop, she is also known for making the famous "orange influence". It is a highly illegal and must only be used for justice. Willow is also a part time vampire hunter and she has a special ability only the Void really knows about and that is sensing Vampires. <br />
<br />
She comes home from a nice break back in her home town and as soon as she gets back David her ex boyfriend is forced back into her life and not only is that a big deal, he is also a vampire which makes it worst. She still has feelings for him and hasn't seem to gotten over him yet. Vampires and Fae do not mix, vampires are death and faes are life. David comes back to warn her that she is in grave danger, but that isn't the only thing she ends up having to be his partner and her best friend who she is also interested in doesn't like it one bit.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed the book very much. It was a different twist on most fantasy books. It started out a little confusing for me though as to what was going on. At first I didn't know that the faes and other paranormal entities were living among humans, but not much later I understood what was going on. The only thing I hated about the book was everything that was going on with Willow. I thought her and David would get back together because he still loves her but nope. Her whole life she has been lied to and basically used by the vampires. That is one thing I hated most. it made me so angry through the book at how many times she has been lied to. They kept telling her it was to protect her but it was hurting her.<br />
<br />
She still has feelings for David so I thought that maybe he might get lucky and them get together again. But there was just so much going on and Tal finally told her how he really felt and she felt the same way with him. David only appeared in her shop that fated one year ago because he was sorta ordered too....so how can he say he loves her after all she went through with telling him about her brother and all the lies she found out about him. I would be angry with him too...<br />
<br />
Another than all that it is a great book and I can't wait to read the second one to see where Tal and Willow will head and who the new big bad threat is.<br />

<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In Life, A.D. you have two choices: join the program or face the consequences.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Seventeen-year-old Dez Donnelly crashes headlong into fate on the side of a rural highway, her life ending in a violent collision of steel and screaming brakes. The train that delivers her newly departed soul to the crossroads of the afterlife won’t be carrying her to the sweet hereafter until she accepts her abrupt end and learns to let go of the life she’ll never finish.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Her new reality is conduct manuals, propaganda, and unrelenting staff, all part of a system to ease her transition from life to death, while helping her earn her way out of limbo. Atman City, beautiful and enticing, is an ever-present temptation that is strictly off limits to underage souls. The promise of adventure proves too strong, and beneath the city’s sheen of ethereal majesty, Dez discovers a world teeming with danger.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Welcome to Life, A.D. where being dead doesn’t mean you’re safe, and the only thing harder than getting out of limbo is getting through it.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Dez is finally hitting her afterlife stride. She hasn’t missed a meeting or session in 42 days, and she’s put the adventures and danger of her first days at Atman behind her. Life after death is becoming tolerable, yet nothing is quite what she’d hoped. Confusion over her feelings for Charlie, residual resentment over losing Hannah, and a continuous stream of unwanted assignments leave Dez restless and argumentative. In a missed encounter with Crosby, her prying gaze lands upon a single entry in the datebook on his unoccupied desk. These few, hastily scribbled words reveal an enormous secret he’s keeping from her. Possessed by a painful sense of betrayal, she once again sneaks off to Atman City, determined to find answers to an unresolved piece of her life. It begins as all their adventures do, but as light falls into darkness, a stop in an unfamiliar neighborhood sets forth a chaotic series of events. Dez will have to fight for her very existence, and will face painful, irreparable loss in an afterlife teeming with demons wielding ancient powers.</div>
