Wingless: Taylor Lavati Review

  2 Stars: I was not a big fan of Wingless. The book confused me from the beginning. It might have just been lack of sleep, but I truly couldn't find the main point of the story until 3/4 of the way through it. Don't get me wrong, the characters were great and I enjoyed the idea of what the author was trying to portray. Another thing I found was that there were many spelling mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, so if you don't find these mistakes distracting, then go ahead and read this book.

Blurb:
When Annie’s wings failed to form on her sixteenth birthday, she was banished to Earth, a life-altering reality that forced her to adapt to a new race, new world, and new challenges. Armed with little knowledge, Annie descends to her new home and learns of other half-angels, those who pull her into a world of demon-fighting chaos. 
As an Archer, Micha watches over Earth from the Veil. Sent to help Annie adjust, he finds himself drawn to her long after his orders have dissipated, and when her ruthless demon-killing ways reach an extremity he can’t ignore, he finds himself questioning the very core of his upbringing: will he turn his back on the angels and save Annie, or will he remain hidden within the shadows and watch her die?

Chronicles of Steele Review Tour

3 Stars: The Chronicles of Steele was a well thought out, steam punk story. I enjoyed the characters and plot, but had a few things that I didn't enjoy. You should really read this book though, it has a very cool and interesting plot.

By her count, she's even and it's time for that life to end. If she settles down and becomes a wife, she might just feel human again.

First Impression: A Shadow Maven Paranormal Review

4.5 Stars: First Impressions was a great book! I enjoyed the characters and how they interacted with each other. I just feel that many of the author's thoughts are incomplete. I got a little confused about why so many major events ended without much importance. The author could have played off of a few things a little more. 

I recommend this book to anyone that is into ghosts or haunted houses. There isn't much swearing and nothing too bad.

Blurb:

Chira Kelly thought she didn’t need anyone…until she met Ben. 

Because of one ugly rumor, Chira lives as an outcast at her school. Which is fine with her, because she works better alone. Always has, always will. And at least she has her one and only true friend, Tasha. When Tasha insists that they join a group to visit a possibly haunted abandoned old schoolhouse, she's wary, but joins her friend. Because of that decision, their lives are in jeopardy as a malevolent spirit targets the group. Tragedies and accidents pick them off one by one, and Chira finds herself drawn to the one person who can see the truth. But can he protect her?
