Accidentally Demonic By: Dakota Cassidy Book Review

When mild-mannered Casey Schwartz wakes up in jail, she has no memory of how she got there. But after her sister, Wanda, bails her out, Casey has more to deal with than a foggy memory-like abrupt mood swings and fireballs shooting from her fingertips. But things really head south when a vampire shows up on her doorstep... Vampire Clayton Gunnersson is seriously hot. And seriously taken - by a demon. In a ritual gone wrong, Clayton tried to get rid of his unwanted bond, but spilled some demonic blood on Casey, getting her possessed in the process. Now, Casey has to share her body and manage to keep her growing attraction to Clayton in check, because falling for her demon's boyfriend just might get Casey killed-from the inside out.

(Summary thanks to Goodreads)

I adore this series it might be my favorite Paranormal Romance Adult series. If you do not know who Dakota Cassidy look her up she is AWESOME. Anyways lets get on to my review.

Accidentally Demonic was as good as I presumed it was going to be. Casey is a girl who's living like a slave, a slave that would put other people before her self. Casey job is to cleans these other peoples messes as if it was nothing. Then one day Casey wakes up and doesn't remember why she is currently in jail (yep thats right she wakes up in jail not knowing why she was arrested). Casey no only woke up in a jail cell she also wakes up with a hot temper, literally. I really liked Casey and the reason is that she reminded me a lot of Nina who is also my favorite. I thought Nina was feisty, but I think Casey topped her in this book. Another character I loved had to be Clayton oh I totally developed a crush on him. I totally dig the vampire hotties. Lets just say one of Casey regular day at work turned into a night of hell. Not only is she starting fires she is also falling for a man that is dating her other half the demon half. I know weirdddd.

This was my first Demon related novel and I am glad it was Dakota book that was my first. I totally love how she writers her books they are so easy to relate to the character (even under the circumstances). She also described certain situation so vividly I sometime could imagine the things happening. I also like how these books can be independant novels and or read in a series format. In Accidentally Demonic not only did we have the original three Dakota also introduced new character, she also re introduced Clayton. Clayton which was originally from Accidentally Dead. I really liked that because not only are we getting to know Casey our protagonist we also get to know Clayton better. This book is a bundle of joy at times there are serious moments, then there is romance, sarcastic and witty moments, and then there are moment that make you wonder. Not only is it a bundle of joy it is also a full house we get a lot of the awesome Paranormals in one book. I adore this cover (actually all her covers) it is so eye catching, as well the colors are so bright and I hate orange. I can keep going on about how much I adored this book, but there isn't enough room on my blog. This book had to be my favorite in the whole series. I can't wait to see what Dakota does with Accidentally Catty to bad that the release date seems so far. 

Just a reminder this book is an Adult series and is not attend for teens. I just felt like i was introducing a movie. "This book is not attend for teens, it may contain coarse language, and sexual content readers please be advised." (As I say that last thought in a broadcasters voice He he he he :) ).

My Blurb for this novel: "Dakota Cassidy has not failed in added yet another great addition to the Accidental Friends series. Hope you are ready for yet another sarcastically funny, yet romantic 4th installment."

Series Order:

1. The Accidental Werewolf
2. Accidentally Dead
3. The Accidental Human
4. Accidentally Demonic
5. Accidentally Catty (To be released March 1st.)

5555.5

Happy Reading Guys!!

Moon Light By: Rachel Hawthorne Book Review

I see him and knows what this turmoil inside of me means: He's the one. My forever. 

KAYLA is the nature lover, the all-American beauty who can't understand why she's so drawn to distant, brooding Lucas. Adopted as a young child, she has no way of knowing that she's inherited a terrifying-and thrilling-gene that will change her life forever. 


LUCASis dangerous, gorgeous ... and a werewolf. As leader of the Dark Guardians, shape-shifters who gather deep within the state park, he has sworn to protect his pack. But when Lucas finds his true soul mate, his love could put them all in harm's way. 

As Lucas and Kayla struggle with their feelings for each other, a greater danger lurks: Humans have discovered the Dark Guardians and are planning their destruction. Kayla must choose between the life she knows and the love she feels certain is her destiny. 
(Summary Thanks to Goodreads)

Moonlight was a novel that I have heard a lot about for a while, not all good so I had some hesitation in picking up this novel. I thought I would give it a try. I was very surprised on how this book captivated me, had me wanting more. Moonlight is the first in the Dark Guardian series. Which after this book I am proud to say I want more and actually bought the rest of the series once completing Moonlight. I have never read any of Rachel Hawthorne books before this one and I was very surprised how she hit all the right note in writing a unique paranormal plot.

I found the characters in this novel very well thought out and very easy to understand while still being mysterious. I'm not a big fan of werewolves I dunno why, but my friend and some family are very team werewolves when it comes to reading paranormal. After Moonlight I think I might look into more novels involving Werewolves (any good recommendation?). Anyways we will start off with Kayla poor, poor Kayla who has had a very unfortunate past, because of that past she is know in the middle of the forest. Kayla is very out there (personal information wise), but yet distant and mystery to her. Lucas at first I thought he was a stalker, and a bit creepy, might I add. Lucas does then become my book crush for this novel, and no other man in this book wins that little. Mason, I dunno I get bad feelings that all I can say, and Kayla maybe be right about him being the safer option (or is she:). Lindsey is awesome and reminds me of my friend Linds.  I love how this book kind of introduces us to what happens after Moonlight. Evil in this book is another kind of evil no the typical evil kill take over the world good against bad (somewhat) this book touches on other issues.

This book overall was a good read I really enjoyed it. Somethings I disliked were there were some transition that had me a bit confused nothing major. The beginning of this book took a while to actually get in to. So when you do start stick with it, because the best part of the book is coming soon. I like the cover to this novel. Rachel Hawthrone did all the right things in this plot. So if your looking for a quick and great read be sure to pick this book up. Can't wait to see Lindsey's point of view. 

My Blurb for this Novel: "Quick, addictive, mysterious new touch to werewolf young adult novels with a bite".

Series Order

1. Moonlight

I would Personally rate this Novel:

5555
The reasoning behind this rating is the end part made up for the dislikes.

Dead is Just a Rumor By: Marlene Perez "Book Review"

As the creepy little town of Nightshade prepares to celebrate its 200th anniversary—on Halloween, of course—many of its paranormal residents are receiving mysterious blackmail letters. Psychic teen Daisy Giordano and her sisters set out to find out who is behind the threats. But launching an investigation isn’t easy for Daisy with her overprotective father watching her every move. Though she’s is happy to have him back after the years he spent being held captive by an anti-paranormal group called the Scourge, Dad is having difficult time adjusting to home life—and the fact that his little girl is now a senior in high school. He even disapproves of Daisy’s boyfriend, Ryan. Can their relationship take the strain?


And Daisy’s got even more on her plate: A talented amateur chef, she has won cooking lessons with celebrity chef Circe Silvertongue. After nosing around (with a little help from Circe’s pet pig), Daisy begins to suspect the temperamental chef’s secrets aren’t only in her ingredients...


The fourth installment in this favorite series is full of surprises and scares! (Summary Thanks to GoodRead )
So guess who's back? Yep thats right Daisy Giordano is back and for those of you who read the other know that when Daisy's around there is always trouble. I really adore this series it's actually one of my favorite paranrmal nov els. Marlene Perez makes these books in this series full of all our favorite Paranormal friends Exmaple: Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Shifters, Ghosts, Invisable people, Telepaths, mind readers, and last but not least Mermaids.

Like always a book has the good guys and the bad guys, there has to be evil of some sort for the book to be tempting. This book has you guessing from the begging and let me tell you I only realized who was playing all the jokes, and causing all the ruckus probably only a little bit before Daisy, and not a lot though. I loved these characters right from the first book. Another thing I liked about Marlene's' writing is that as the characters got older in years they also seemed to mature (the reason why I'm saying this is that there are a lot of books that the characters don't see to grow). So by saying that I could tell that Daisy and her friends were in their senior year, not the kids we were first introduced to 4 books ago. Don't get me wrong, but there is always a but when saying such nice things so the But: Daisy at some points in the book gets Whinny (I could picture her stomping her feet).

So Marlene Perez keeps getting better even though there is no way of beating the first in the Series Dead is the New Black, but Dead is Just a Rumor was fairly close. The reasoning to why I think these books are so lovable is that instead of basing the book on one major occurrence that build and builds until problem solved. Marlene Perez writes about many occurrence that maybe will all work out to be the same-thing, but for now thats enough no more giving information.

I would love to rate the cover of this book, but as I received an e-Version for review (thanks Net Galley).  Last thought I do truly wish these books were longer.

1. Dead is the New Black
2. Dead is a State of Mind
3. Dead is so Last year

Shiver By: Maggie Stiefvater Book Review


For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf—her wolf—is a chilling presence she can't seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human ... until the cold makes him shift back again.

Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It's her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human--or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever. (Summary Thanks to GoodRead)


I have to say sorry to my fellow bloggers for ever doubting that I would like this book, even be addicted. But the truth is I Kelly am Addicted. Now that, thats off my shoulders lets get on to the review for this book.

Maggie Stiefvater has such smooth writing and the story is every easy to follow but the truth is that this novel is a Romance and mostly that. It being a Romance is actually one reason I was very unsure of reading it, because for the last year or so I have been on Strike for Romance and Chic Lit, but lately I have let some books slip in. This book is a must read for those of you who like Werewolves, and Romance Novels.

The characters were nicely chosen, very believable like this storyline and character could be the girl or boy beside you on the bus (that is if you live near forest, I know I personally don't). The only thing not believable is the love story how Grace know she loves him without knowing him personally (she knew the wolf). 

Ok Maggie Stiefvaters writing was really good. The transition between POV were smooth. I have one thing to admit!! I only after like 150 pages in did I understand that the temperature at the beginning of each chapter due to change of temperature and the change. I know I'm sometimes slow. In the end I am yet again addicted to another series. I beg anyone who owns Linger (please, please let me borrow it, I can't wait). If you are looking for a good Paranormal Romance, and like Young Adult fiction then definitely pick this book up!! I adore the cover of this book (UK COVER that is). I will also only purchasing the UK cover to Linger as well. I like them, Let me know what cover you prefer?? (UK or US).


I Would Personally Rate this Novel: 

5
