Ruthie and her friend found a bottle that had a djinn in it. They decided to make a wish, only to have it backfire. The djinn tricked them and now Ruthie is stuck in a recipe box. 75 years go by and the box is opened by Lee. Lee is a werewolf who is a chef and is cooking Christmas dinner for his family. I enjoyed this one. For a novella, this packed a punch. I loved the story-line with the djinn and wishes. Well-paced and enough info was given, I knew exactly what was going on. I think this would have worked even better if full-length novel. Really enjoyed this.

Mandated to protect mortals from Mythicals, Sir Liam McCall has never played favorites until Leeza Hunter threatens to override all his logic in this spellbinding paranormal romance.

 

Some crystalline connection tells Leeza to trust the tall, hunky glassblower and the reader can’t help but be enthralled as trusting Liam opens up a whole other world full of dragons, vampires and all sorts of things that go bump in the night for Leeza. The relationship is forbidden which grabs reader’s attention immediately as they become intrigued by the possibilities and the emotional turmoil caused by Liam’s undeniable compulsion to keep her safe and of course, the smoldering chemistry builds to scorching proportions throughout this compelling romance. Strong, captivating characters and a fast paced and smooth flowing plot holds readers hostage with lots of suspense, excitement and romance.

 

Not only does this romance keep expectations high, but it causes some friction among friends while the enemies of the Knights are watching which adds lots of spine tingling tension and drama filled moments and along with another dangerous enemy adds some adrenaline pumping excitement as well.  The intriguing events continuously builds anticipation keeping readers locked into this well written world and ensures that they want to know every last detail and this story also has some surprising twists that I sure didn’t see coming and let me tell you they are quite momentous.

 

This fascinating world is full of surprises and compelling characters that just grab hold of the reader’s imagination and refuse to let go and Liam is one of the characters that did just that since his first appearance so I was quite excited to finally get to read his story and not only was I was not disappointed, I was quite astounded with how it turned out. Congratulations, Candice, I do believe that is one creative twist that I never would have imagined.

 

 

I was gifted an ARC of 'Brightest Shadow' from Candice Gilmer, in exchange for an honest review.

I just finished 'Brightest Shadow' & I'm blown away, I was quickly drawn into the story & couldn't put it down, next thing I knew it was finshed. This book starts off with a sad start, an alpha to be, saddened & awaiting his alpha powers to come... This idea of not getting your alpha power right away is unique to me, I loved it, it made this story it's own.... A girl who has dreams, deja-vu type dreams, who stands on her own two-feet & works hard... What isn't there to like about that, then the paranormal happens & the action comes forth, you start to get an inkling as to what Candice's new series "The Mythical Knight's" is going to be like, I can't wait.

It's actually a 4 and 1/2 stars, but only because of Lynn.
I don't know how I felt about her. Sometimes I wanted to punch her, and sometimes to hug her.
The story is told mainly from her POV, but there are some chapter told by the villain POV, the FBI POV, Jack's POV.
So, you get all, and I mean ALL, her thoughts.
The premise is that she’s a web-master of a site that does Buffy’s funfiction. She’s obsessed with everything Buffy and she’s living most of her life there.
You get that she's extremely shy, very insecure and has a low opinion of herself.
She's a bit a split personality. She has her every-day persona with all the problems I mentioned before; then you get her “Web” persona with all the marks of a super-hero: she’s opinionated, she’s kick-ass, she’s the one who knows better…
Some of her musings are fun. Sometimes she looses herself in her musing and just drifts in her own mind.
It’s a strange way of writing because you get an awful lot of useless information. But at the same time it is strangely interesting too.
She’s strongly attracted to Jack, but she struggles mightily against it. Even when Jack proves time and time again that he’s as strongly attracted to her as she is. It’s painful to read. She’s wants and doesn’t want at the same time.
You get very little about how Jack feels, but what little you get is good. He’s conflicted because she’s his assignment and he’s strongly attracted to her.
The villain POV is creepy. You get that he’s completely out of his mind. Totally crazy without redemption.
The first part of the book is a little bit dragged, but things get interesting after that.
The last part is just crazy. You are biting your nail waiting to read what happens next.
The end is soooo romantic. Almost too much so soon after the nail-biting part.

“Well, what do you want? Missing a DVD or something?” I turned myself sideways in the booth so I faced him. My legs crossed and I tucked my skirt over my skin, covering the scars. He had to speak, and I knew, deep down in my heart, that I had to hear it before I could go on living.
Jack shook his head. “Not a DVD. But I am missing something.”
“What?” My hands started to tremble.
“You.”
I quirked my brow at him.
“There’s this hole in my chest,” he patted his heart. “Every time I try to work, try to move on, move forward like all the shrinks tell me I need to do, I can’t. I can’t concentrate, I can’t think, hell I can’t breathe.”
“Have you seen a doctor?”
“Too many. And none seem to have anything that will fill the void.”

What freaked me out was the fact that she was a little bit like all of as internet-related-book-lovers, who follow sites like this and write and chat with other persons we actually don’t know nothing about. It’s actually scary to think that this story could apply to one of us. It could happen. And it’s scary as hell!
