January Reads

What is it about going into a library? I walk in and I feel like I can read a ton of books. So I pick up about 8-10 books or more... Then I get home and start to read them. After three books, I question whether I will get done by their due date. So I keep reading... Then either renew all of them or just the ones I want to keep and head back to the library to drop off... If I walk in, I feel like I need more books... Then the vicious cycle starts again...

Welcome to my January Trip to the Library...
I have been on a sci-fi book trend lately ... I think it is because of the new TV series Shannara (which is based on the Shannara book series.. however for the life of me I can't figure out which one is the beginning to read them!!)  Plus one of the books, I've been working on forever has a sci-fi feel to it.  Research, man, research.


Would-be Witch by Kimberly Frost --- Not a bad read, quick. It read a lot like a Harlequin book, not a bad thing. It was about a woman who didn't think she had witch powers, but can talk to a ghost because of a locket. The locket gets lost and she has to find the locket before time runs out. Along the way she meets up with a worlock that helps her and werewolves that are after her. I am going to look for the next two in the series... Wish me luck!

Ghost Seer by Robin D. Owens---This one took a little bit longer to grab my attention, but once it did, WOW!! Clare has inherited the gift of seeing ghosts and needing to help them. She has to learn to trust her gift and believe in it. At the same time, a former deputy sheriff arrives in the picture and well sparks! What a unique book, I believe Robin as a few more with this same character that I'm tempted to find.

Wicked and Dangerous by Deborah Blake --- So unique and different... Definitely one I'm going to continue the series. This book follows the tales of Baba Yaga, a legend from Russia. Deborah writes about one of the many Baba Yagas that are in the world. It had romance, intrigue and mystery.

Naamah's Kiss by Jacqueline Carey --- It was so dry starting out. I'm still debating whether it will be truly finished or not... It's about a younger that is searching for her place in her world. She is a love child from two different tribes with two different beliefs.

Firelight by Kristen Callihan --- Hmm... Wow! What a story... Love, mystery, intrigue, super natural... All of the things needed for an awesome romance in my opinion! Can't wait to read more her books!

Flight from Death by Yasmine Galenorn --- Still in the process of reading this one... It's a little hard to get into so I'm going to try it one more time and then try another book by her next month.. Wish me luck!

Sterling by Dannika Dark --- Oh my goodness! What a book! The book started out a little unique but within the first two chapters, you are like WHAT THE HECK!!!  I guess I didn't read the back of the book as well as I should have. This book follows Zoe as she starts to accept her Mage, her new immortal self.  It is the beginning of a series so I'm super excited to find the rest and continue them on...
