Review Ethereal Influence: The Inquisition by Lana Bradstream

2.5 Stars: I honestly got so lost reading this book. In the beginning there were two main characters and one dies. By the middle there were three main characters. In the end there are five main characters, or what I thought there were. Two of the main characters disappear and die. I would have liked this much more if  the story had focused on fewer characters to keep the book from becoming so chaotic.

The writing was really fluid. I thought the pacing was good. The storyline was unique and really interesting. I just found myself trying to keep track of the characters and wondering who was next to be axed.

I didn't really like this book, but that doesn't mean you won't. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Blurb: The Inquisition is a time of turmoil and fear. It is a time of horror and atrocities, when the faith of people waiver. Inquisitor Nikolaus is experiencing a lack of faith as he orders torture and death for scores of people - some of whom he believes were innocent. Lorenz, an angel of God, is sent to restore his faith and bring him back to God. But, the fallen angel Jakob is intent on capturing Nikolaus' soul with the aid of Ayla, a real witch who has surrendered her own soul.

Bitter Demons: Peachville high Review

5 stars: Bitter Demons has to be my favorite Peachville High book yet! I LOVED the story!! All of the adventure and heart breaks kept me hooked on this book from the beginning to the end. I also liked how we got to hear Jackson's story, finally. When I read this book I really felt like I was part if it. Another fabulous job by Ms. Cannon.
The characters are excellent! Harper is the prima, she has great power and huge responsibilities. Jackson is a demon with a deep dark secret. Lark is Harper's BFF. Brooke is a strange girl that is constantly trying to get back at Harper. Mary Anne is a very weird girl, she is always in her room alone.

I believe everyone should get a chance to read this book! I can't wait to read the next one. :)




Blurb:
So far, life in Peachville has been tough for Harper Madison. She's survived attacks on her life, learned how to control her magic, and met the most gorgeous boy - who also happens to be a demon. After her latest stunt at Brighton Hospital, the Order of Shadows is determined to tighten their control on her life.

When a future Prima from a nearby demon gate comes to town, she and Harper decide to use magic to switch places at a party. All Harper wants is to have a little fun.

But the night will end in blood.

And Harper will find out the attack was meant for her...

Inner Demons:Peachville High Book 2 Review

4 stars: Inner Demons, by Sarra Cannon, is one of the best books I've ever read! The story is really good. I really connected with Harper.

Inner Demons is about Harper and the other cheerleaders. Her and the other girls do a ritual and Harper ends up with a tattoo. The tattoo is demon shaped and it moves (because it's magic.) Cool, right?

Brooke gets her demon during the yearly initiation and gets into the witch group. All seniors have to go through the initiation. Brooke changes after hers. Harper had sneaked in but now she doesn't want to get in. 

What will Harper do next?

I enjoyed reading this book very much. I believe that you will enjoy it, too!

Blurb:
Becoming a Demons cheerleader was the last thing Harper Madison expected when she moved to the small town of Peachville. Now that she’s an official member of the squad, her training can begin. Only, this is no normal group of cheerleaders. Harper isn’t there to learn dances and cheers. She became a cheerleader in order to finally learn how to control the magic inside.

The Peachville Demons cheerleading squad is really a training ground for a powerful coven of witches called the Order of Shadows. The training opens up a new world for Harper. It’s a world of beauty and magic beyond her wildest dreams, but also a world of pressure and impossible expectations.

A world where every secret hides an even darker secret.

Beautiful Demons: Peachville High series book 1

4 stars: Beautiful Demons is a very mysterious book. I loved all of the characters! I really felt like I was part of the story. It pretty much sucked me into it with its great characters, plot, and mysteries. Harper was my fave because of her powers. 

Beautiful Demons is about Harper. She is a foster child that just can't fit in anywhere and is constantly getting kicked out of fosters homes. She has this power, she can move things with her mind and doesn't think anyone can do that too until she moves to Shadowford. Shadowford is a foster house for the troubled girls like Harper. At Shadowford Harper meets Agnes, a very enthusiastic girl and Jackson, a mysterious boy. Although Harper thinks nothing can get any worse she ends up passing out and having a weird vision. When she wakes she has a strange cut on her hand and can't remember anything. Everyone says that when she fell she cut her hand and she believed them until the head-cheerleader was killed(burned from the inside.) When she goes back to school all of the cheerleaders adore Harper, even though they should hate her. Harper wants to know why all of this is happening and why she can't remember anything.

Will Harper ever get her memory back? Who had burned the head-cheerleader from the inside and how?

This story rocks! Well, and has witches and demons... so, yeah, go read it.

Book Blurb:

In Peachville, even the cheerleaders have a dark side...

Harper Madison isn't like other girls. She has extraordinary powers, but her inability to control them has gotten her kicked from so many foster homes she's lost count. Shadowford Home for Girls is her last chance, and she hopes Peachville High will be the fresh start she needs. 

But when evidence ties her to the gruesome murder of a Demons cheerleader, Harper discovers this small town has a big secret.

Beautiful Demons is a fast-paced YA novel with magic, mystery, and a touch of romance. This series will appeal to fans of Pretty Little Liars, Hex Hall, and The Vampire Diaries.
