Mabel Crowley: Book One

Mabel Crowley, the only child of a wealthy English banker, wants nothing more than to be rid of her last name and wed her first love, stable-boy Charlie Archer, whose own hopes reside in becoming a partner in his father’s livery yard. Her parents forbid the union and whisk the impulsive child away to Bath so that she might forget her troubles. Distraught and vowing that she will never love again, Mabel impulsively accepts a teaching position while on vacation in Bath, certain that this will ensure her spinsterhood and prove her undying love for Charlie.

Irene Hartley, a five-year-old student desperately in love with her new teacher, persuades her parents to offer Mabel a position as governess to their growing brood. Her father is Theodore Hartley, the obscenely wealthy and renowned railroad tycoon. Theodore sees how his daughter has grown attached to Mabel, and after his wife dies in childbirth, he makes Mabel an offer of a permanent nature to make his eldest daughter happy. Still madly in love with Charlie, Mabel returns home to find out whether he has carried the same love in his heart in the years they’ve been apart. She finds him boarding a train, in uniform, ready to serve his country in World War I. Will she act once again on impulse, or will she make her decision based on hope for her future?

E.H. Nolan begins an epic tale of love and sacrifice with Mabel Crowley: Book One. Finding one's first love is always a life changing experience, but when it's true, that love never ends. Mabel and Charlie grew close as children and fell in love shortly thereafter. The differences in their social stations stopped them from joining their lives and each of them regret that decision every day.

 

Mabel Crowley is an emotional young girl at the beginning of the book. She has fanciful whims that often lead to passionate focus. She falls in love with Charlie and fears it is unreciprocated while her parents push her to understand that he's beneath her in social status. Readers will witness Mabel's growth into an intelligent young woman in this first book. Through heartbreak, Mabel finds that teaching is a respectable and fulfilling position. Readers will enjoy her love for children and understand her decision to remain unmarried, though we all hope she'll end up with Charlie in the end. As Mabel turns from teacher to governess, readers see her blossom into a loving and deeply caring woman. This lays a strong foundation that book two will surely build upon.

 

Since Charlie fell in love with Mabel, he's had eyes for no one else. Charlie is the heir of Archer and Sons, a business that boards horses and offers riding lessons. Charlie is a down to earth gentleman, focused and level-headed. Mabel is the only woman he has ever wanted but he's convinced himself that she's married and happy and has forgotten all about him. Readers will understand this line of thinking as it offers Charlie a chance to move on, but we know the truth. It seems that Mabel and Charlie are meant to be but will Nolan write them together or are the next installments filled with more heartache?

 

The love story of Mabel and Charlie seems doomed at the end of book one, but readers will be hoping for a miracle. After tragedy strikes, Mabel is offered a position to inherit a fortune and three children. It seems perfect but it comes with heavy stipulations. Meanwhile, Charlie is off to war to defend his country. Surely if there are four more books then Charlie doesn't meet death like everyone believes he will. The cliffhanger ending certainly adds an air of mystery and nervousness to the novel. The only thing I didn't like about the story is that I felt like it was being told to me instead of making me feel like I was part of it. The writing style is clear and concise, without a lot of flair or dramatics. Readers who enjoy easy reads with simple semantics will like Mabel Crowley as it has just enough action to keep readers engaged and a love story that resonates with many.

Easy (Contours of the Heart #1)

When Jacqueline follows her longtime boyfriend to the college of his choice, the last thing she expects is a breakup two months into sophomore year. After two weeks in shock, she wakes up to her new reality: she's single, attending a state university instead of a music conservatory, ignored by her former circle of friends, and failing a class for the first time in her life.

Leaving a party alone, Jacqueline is assaulted by her ex's frat brother. Rescued by a stranger who seems to be in the right place at the right time, she wants nothing more than to forget the attack and that night - but her savior, Lucas, sits on the back row of her econ class, sketching in a notebook and staring at her. Her friends nominate him to be the perfect rebound.

When her attacker turns stalker, Jacqueline has a choice: crumple in defeat or learn to fight back. Lucas remains protective, but he's hiding secrets of his own. Suddenly appearances are everything, and knowing who to trust is anything but easy.

*Contains Spoilers*

 

I devoured Easy by Tammara Webber! With a dangerous, dark, and dreamy male lead, how could I not finish this book in less than 24 hours? Webber drags readers into this story of love, trust, and claiming your inner strength.

 

Jacqueline is the main character in this novel, though Lucas also plays an important role. The story is told from Jacqueline's perspective and it works perfectly for this book. Jacqueline is an open-hearted young woman, nineteen years old, and a little naïve. She studies music and plays the upright bass, which I've always loved (being an orchestra nerd myself.) Readers will immediately connect with Jacqueline's character through very intense circumstances. During the beginning, Jacqueline is the victim of an attempted rape. Witnessing her struggle through this traumatic event will undoubtedly place readers in her corner. This kickstarts the growth that she undergoes throughout this story. Jacqueline learns to connect with her inner strength and how to become a survivor. She's a character that earns her respect and stands up for herself. I loved her character because even though she was frightened, terrified, unsure of herself --- she fought back. And with the current statistics... fighting back is important.

 

Now a little about Lucas, because he's adorable and his role is so important. Lucas happens to witness the attempted rape of Jacqueline. If not for Lucas and his vital fighting skills, the guy may have succeeded and this would have been a whole different book. Lucas is described as the bad boy... which we all love (haha), but he has a heart of gold. He's reserved, studious, intelligent, strong, and respectful. His character is so easy to fall in love with, even with the secrets. Hell, especially with the secrets! Readers will lose themselves in his crystal blue eyes and tattooed arms.

 

The plot of Easy is anything but simple. Jacqueline is saved from an attempted rape by Lucas and struggles to stay strong in the face of her attacker. When she learns that Lucas is in her Econ class, her and her friends decide to begin Operation Bad Boy Phase, which is supposed to help Jacqueline get over her ex, Kennedy. Meanwhile, because of her break-up Jacqueline is falling behind in her Econ class and is recommended to the class tutor - Landon. Through e-mail the two connect with a little harmless flirtation. Spoiler ahead --- I thought it was a little too obvious that Landon and Lucas were the same person, though I was ecstatic when it turned out to be true. Jacqueline begins to fall for Lucas, but her attacker hasn't given up. He starts spreading rumors about how they've been hooking up which shatters her reputation and it's apparent that he's not going to give up until he gets what he wants. This storyline was so intense and consuming that I couldn't stop reading. I didn't even want to stop reading. Though I wouldn't recommend this book to everyone because of the curse words, this novel does indeed show that speaking up about rape is a serious thing that must be done. And self defense classes are always a good idea.

Setting out on a mission that spans three lands, they must defy not only their Gaias and the prophesy but themselves in order to find the Fourborn while the dangers of an all consuming darkness takes shape around them.

*May Contain Spoilers*

 

A fantastic journey begins with a prophecy that inspires two different citizens to leave everything they've ever known to find and protect a stranger in Megan Futcher's novel, Wind and Fire, the first in the Fourborn series. The world is divided into four lands that align with the elements: Fire, Wind, Earth, and Water. To find the stranger born of all four lands, Kofi and Lela must overcome their fears and trust the Keepers to guide them. 

 

Kofi is a twenty-five year old young man who was born in Zjarr, the land of Fire. He's a brave, courageous man who is full of love for his family and his home. Kofi is just beginning to realize what his purpose in life is and readers will find his story interesting. At first, he pushes away from the prophecy and dedicates his life to being a warrior. He trains hard with absolute focus, but the death of his brother in battle shifts him away from war. Kofi desires a greater purpose, something that aligns with his moral beliefs. Through the journey to find the Fourborn, Kofi's intelligence and protective nature shine.

 

Lela is of mixed races and has been shunned nearly her entire life. As a mix of wind and fire, she's never fit into her Wind homeland. She dreams of escape and acceptance. After the Keepers of the Wind tell her to follow her dreams and find the Fourborn, Lela begins to really discover herself. She begins as a hot-headed character who reacts emotionally instead of logically. As she grows, Lela learns how to control her feelings and focus on the mission, though she remains a bit impulsive. Readers will connect with Lela through her feelings of being misunderstood and her evolution of character.

 

The plot of Wind and Fire is a linear adventure. Kofi leaves home to join the warriors and then meets up with Lela after her escape. After Kofi saves Lela's life from a stampede, they decide to travel together. Eventually they share that they have each been told the exact same prophecy and they know that fate has brought them together. The storyline is interesting with several action filled situations. Futcher does a good job in keeping the adventure across the plains and mountains interesting to the reader. There aren't any unimportant details or situations as each chapter builds upon the journey to find the Fourborn and the budding relationship between Kofi and Lela.

Raining Embers (Order and Chaos #1)

Palmer Tash always follows the path of least resistance. He has an unusual disability involving his hearing. But in theocratic Latysia, being different isn’t a good thing, so he conceals his problem.

Brier Chastain’s malady is even more debilitating, and she often must take to her bed for long periods. Her days are spent in meaningless pursuits as she awaits an arranged marriage.

When Palmer and Brier are kidnapped on the same night, they meet and discover that their so-called disabilities are actually budding powers. They are the incarnations of Order and Chaos. With their country on the brink of war, the two must step into their predestined roles and learn to take control of their own destinies.

*May Contain Spoilers*

 

Jessica Dall incarnates concepts, or gods, in her novel, Raining Embers, a fantasy adventure of self-discovery. Palmer and Brier are young adults who each have no idea who they really are. With odd quirks and abilities, the two are certainly misfits, but when they are brought together and trained... the two become whole.

 

Brier is the embodiment of "Chaos," nothingness. The real Brier died at the age of five in a horrible fire and Chaos took over her body, continuing her life as if nothing happened. She's incredibly powerful and with proper focus and training, she can destroy anything. She's kidnapped by the Goebel family to be used as a weapon. Brier is a character who survives. She's tough, caring, and beyond understanding. Readers will watch as Brier learns of her power to destroy and instead of letting it consume her, she fights to stay level and try to do what's right. Though when  once-trusted people are trying to control and contain Chaos, it can't possibly end well.

 

Palmer is the embodiment of "Kosmos," everything. He has the power to become omniscient, to hear and know everything. The real Palmer died at the age of six, when he drowned in the river escaping the fire that killed Brier. It doesn't seem to be a coincidence that Brier is fire and Palmer is water, as water puts out flames, Palmer learns that he can help Brier control her destructive abilities. He balances out Brier. Palmer is an intelligent character who doesn't often think of the world around him. He came to ignore his powers once he realized that they weren't normal. When he embraces them, Palmer can see visions, hear anything, and communicate with Brier telepathically. Readers will like Palmer as he is the protector.

 

The plot of Raining Embers is journey-esque. Palmer and Brier are forced to acknowledge their powers after they are kidnapped and trained by the Goebel's. Along this journey they meet Rosette, a very little girl who has the power to make anyone sick in anyway she wants. The three characters join together and escape the Goebel's. As they make their way back home, Palmer has a vision that they're headed for war and darkness. The adventure of these three is entertaining, heart warming, and intriguing. Readers will enjoy the detailed account of Chaos and Kosmos, and hope that the characters don't lose themselves to their abilities.

Eve Brenner: Zombie Girl

Eve used to be an ordinary girl, from an ordinary town, with ordinary dreams, but her dreams rapidly turn into nightmares when one grave mistake leaves her a little less than human and a lot less average.

Eve’s not quite the same girl she used to be. She desperately clings to her humanity as new desires, new abilities, and new urges take over with each passing day.

Eve Brenner: Zombie Girl is a tale that takes you on an emotional and terrifying journey as Eve struggles to cope with her new life and find a cure for her strange illness before time runs out. She desperately clings to her humanity as she tries to control the monster she knows is lurking inside her.

Turns out living was the easy part.

*May Contain Spoilers*

This gutsy gory zombie thriller totally satisfied! Eve Brenner: Zombie Girl by A. Giacomi takes a young college student on a trip to Egypt, then gives her an undead experience. Talk about resume potential. 

Eve Brenner is the main living dead girl (yes, there is more than one!) in this novel. She's not as likeable as you would think a college girl would be, but she makes a pretty enjoyable zombie. Eve is a little temperamental with a short fuse. She has two best friends that she is very loyal to and is secretly in love with one of them. Readers will enjoy her exciting journey as she struggles to understand what is happening to her and what that means for the future. Though it is difficult to connect with someone in her situation, it is entertaining. 

Cam and Alex are Eve's co-pilots in the story. Cameron is a great friend who happens to look like a Greek god, according to Eve. Readers will really connect with Cam as they get in-depth looks into his personality and thought process when he takes his turn at narrating.  After his mom died in a tragic car accident, his father took to drinking and being abusive. Cam's had a rough go of it and more than a few hearts will melt for him. Readers will definitely be rooting for him. Alex is the quiet, reserved one of the group. Though she does have a few outburst moments. She seems like the shoulder everyone leans on because she's strong enough to hold everyone up. I really enjoyed her character and I think other readers will too. Hoping she gets a love interest.

The plot of this tale begins in a tomb in Egypt where Eve is attacked by something with glowing eyes and sharp teeth. It is soon revealed that she contracted a virus that basically brings people back from the dead. When she (accidentally) kills Cam's father, he comes back as a zombie and is seemingly out for revenge. The friends try to stop the spread of the virus while fighting zombies, falling in love, and trying to find a cure for Eve. The writing style was simplistic and the zombie consequence was explained pretty well. Though the situation snowballed almost too much, it was very entertaining. But I did start to feel sorry for Alex and Cam at the end. They went through a lot. A whole lot. I gotta' hand it to 'em. They're loyal and loving. We'll see if that continues into book two after a preview of Eve leading a zombie horde.

Jathen and his allies must struggle against man and magic alike, at the mercy of forces beyond their ken.

As Jathen presses on, his questions of belonging are surrounded by more of identity, loyalty, and betrayal. Where will the path of his destiny lead, and will he follow or fall?

*May Contain Spoilers*

J. Leigh creates a new world with her novel, Way Walkers: Tangled Paths. A world with Clan Vampires, Tazu dragons, and Charm Masters. A world where before birth, a life contract is signed that describes what path life will take. 

Jathen, the main character, is the heir of the Tazu Nation. When he's born a moot, with no ability to change into his true Tazu form, he is shunned. With a new baby brother, Jathen is given the chance to travel the world and decide if he'll fight for his rightful place as King or pass it to the younger prince. 

Jathen is a constantly evolving character. The entire novel covers the time span of about a year. In the beginning of the book, he is angry, unsure of himself, and overall miserable. The other members of the Kingdom treat him badly and because of that he is cynical and unable to cultivate his intelligence or ability. Readers will form a connection with him based on his under-dog situation. When Jathen decides to travel with a charm master, Hatori Chann, a world of possibilities open up to him. He forms friendships for the first time and is given the chance to be happy. Though traveling is strenuous and lonely, Jathen sees the world has more to offer than his home kingdom ever did.  

Throughout the course of the trip, Jathen is confronted with both happy and dire situations which allow him to grow. Readers watch as he gains confidence and encounters love, betrayal, and death of loved ones for the first time. Jathen reacts as a ruler should, revealing his natural ability to survive. As the world stacks up against Jathen, the bond between him and the reader will steadily strengthen. 

Leigh's plot of this novel is incredibly intricate and complicated. At times, it can become confusing for the reader with so much detail and description. Jathen's journey began as one of self-discovery, but slowly it shifts to one of secrets, war, and destiny. When Jathen uncovers a devious plot to find a Great Artifact, lost for hundreds of years, he contemplates what it would mean to the world if it would fall into the wrong hands: chaos, destruction, death. Thus he is thrust onto a path fate has planned for him, promising more adventure and adversity.

Ethereal (Celestra #1)

"Sixteen-year-old, Skyla Messenger is a dead girl walking. 

When her newly remarried mother moves the family to Paragon Island, to a house that is rumored to be haunted, Skyla finds refuge in Logan Oliver, a boy who shares her unique ability to read minds.

Skyla discovers Logan holds the answers to the questions she’s been looking for, but Logan’s reluctance to give her the knowledge she desires leaves her believing Logan has a few secrets of his own. 

Skyla’s bloodlines may just be connected to the most powerful angelic beings that roam the earth, and the more she knows, the more danger she seems to be in. 

Suddenly an entire faction of earthbound angels wants her dead, at least she still has Logan, or does she?" - Goodreads Blurb

*May Contain Spoilers*

Addison Moore creates a world where angels walk the earth in her novel, Ethereal, the first in the Celestra series. As a young adult novel, this book surprised me. (Who am I trying to kid? I love YA!) Overall, I think this novel was a great read. I had a few problems here and there, but for the most part I definitely recommend it. After all, I've already purchased the second one. 

Skyla is the main character who discovers she is an angel and that her life may be leading to danger. I liked Skyla for the most part, but I feel Moore could have dove deeper with Skyla so that readers would form a better connection with her. She's a cranky teenager who hates her new step-father, misses her (deceased) father, doesn't exactly like her new siblings, doesn't understand her mother, and has crushes on two gorgeous guys. She also doesn't seem to have a filter between her brain and mouth, which admittedly makes for some pretty funny situations. 

I just wanted her to have more depth. She seems to have a flip-flop personality, obviously not knowing what she really wants. But she is a teenage character, so what more can we expect? I'm looking forward to her growing as an angel in the next installments in the series. 

The plot line, I must say, was well planned out, with only a few minor hiccups. But I did feel like Moore rushed through the novel. Because of that, the novel was never idling, however it did create confusion in a few spots. I would find myself asking "What?!" out loud, only to return to the previous page to re-read it and work it out in my head so that the flow made sense. My only suggestions when picking up this novel: read slow and have a few hours of free time ahead of you. :) Happy Reading!

Here (On the Otherside, Book #1)

"Sixteen year old Julia Phillips buries herself in guilt after killing her best friend Monica in a car accident. Julia awoke in the hospital with a broken leg, a new talent for drawing and false memories of the accident, in which she dies and Monica lives. The doctors attribute this to her head injury, but no one can explain how a bracelet engraved with her name ended up at the scene of the accident. A bracelet no one has ever seen before.

Classmate Evan Whittaker paid Julia no attention before the accident, let alone after. Now suddenly he’s volunteering to tutor her and offering to drive her home. She can't ignore that his new obsession started after his two-day disappearance last week and that he wears a pendant she’s been drawing for months. When the police show up one night looking for Evan, he begs Julia to run with him, convincing her that Monica is still alive. Julia agrees to go, never guessing where he’s really from." - Goodreads Blurb

*May Contain Spoilers*

Denise Grover Swank really outdoes herself with this spectacular novel, Here. It was absolutely amazing! I literally couldn't put it down. Until I finished it, that is. 

Julia Phillips is character that readers will really connect with. She's an average girl who lost her best friend in a car accident and can't forgive herself. Julia's pain and feelings of guilt are understandable, while Swank makes them completely believable. Not to mention she's a typical teenager (a part of life everyone suffers through). She's sarcastic, witty, scared, hopeful, unable to hold her tongue, and down right tough. Swank's writing style takes the reader into Julia's world, without even a backward glance. 

Then, the plot thickens and things really heat up... enter more cliches here for added enjoyment, and the reader is swept away with Julia to an alternate world where history doesn't coincide with any textbook. The feelings that Julia has throughout the novel make the reader kin to her. And Swank does an outstanding job at keeping everything in line. With a plot that involves an alternate reality, it could easily become incredibly confusing, but Swank doesn't allow that to happen. 

And just when you think everything's going to end up just peachy... the book ends, leaving all readers gasping, fighting for breath, and searching voraciously for the next installment.

The Hunger Games

There were 13 districts. Until the thirteenth was obliterated for rebelling.

Now there are only 12. And to ensure that history doesn't repeat itself the Capitol created The Hunger Games. A survival of the fittest match up of twenty four young adults, aged 12 to 18. Half of them female, half of them male. Two from every district.

Out of the thousands of slips of paper decorated with names, Prim Everdeen is drawn. A fragile twelve-year-old girl who hasn't been alive long enough to have even lived. To protect her sister, Katniss volunteers to take her place as the female district 12 contestant. And instantly, the reader is drawn in and a connection is formed.

Whether the reader connects with Katniss because of her strength, her need to protect the ones she loves, or the faith that other characters have in her, it doesn't matter -- Suzanne Collins crafts a story unlike any other, and once the cover is opened, the spine cracked, there's no stopping until it's finished.

Matched up against twenty-three other contestants, some who have been training for The Hunger Games since childhood, and some who are still children, Katniss is repeatedly challenged from the moment she takes her sister's place.

The arena holds the future for Katniss. Surrounded by death for mere entertainment, she must use every strength she has to stay alive.

An astounding novel of intertwining themes and blind side moments, this novel really is a must read.
