<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Book #1 in the</span><i style="color: #990000;"> <u>Heart of the Wolf Series</u></i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<div style="color: #0b5394;">
</div>
<div style="display: inline !important;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #073763;">First I would like to say that I enjoyed this book. The reason I only gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because I think it could have been more polished. The scenes and plot were good but it just needed more lead in and pazzazz. The sex scenes were the only scenes that I felt had the great detail and background. </span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #073763;">This book is about a female werewolf who has been on the run her entire life. Amber and Blake draw you into their story from the beginning. All you want is for Amber to have a normal life and for her to reconnect with the one person that ever showed her kindness. I liked the way the story progresses. There is plenty of love, laughter, sadness, fear and mystery. I loved the way Amber and Blake reconnected. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: #073763;">The one thing I DIDN'T like is that Amber just takes everyone's word for everything, even when she finds out that everyone she has ever loved, lied to her. She just accepts it and moves on with hardly any protest or argument. It is an injustice to this otherwise strong character. With everything Amber has been through you expect her to be more distrustful, or atleast I did.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #073763;">I will sat that I plan on reading the next book in this series. I think that </span><i><u><span style="color: lime;">MaryLynn Bast</span></u></i><span style="color: #073763;"> has talent and I look forward to future books written by her :)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;"><i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Due to her unusual birth, Amber has abilities no other werewolf has ever possessed. On the run since childhood, the lone wolf avoids contact with other werewolves at all cost, continually moving, constantly looking over her shoulder and always alone.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Everything changes when Amber saves a werewolf from the mere brink of death, Blake, the only werewolf to ever protect her. Love blossoms, but not without tribulations when Amber realizes she must help her new pack rescue a member who is being held hostage by a rival pack.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Warring with emotions of going from lone wolf to the pack leader’s mate, Amber must decide if she is willing to risk Blake’s life to know true family and friendship despite the fact that the Council is hell bent on locating her and will stop at nothing until she is found. Will Amber’s special abilities be enough to keep everyone safe?</span></i></span></span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Reluctant witch Halloween LaVeau never guessed that inheriting LaVeau Manor would be so difficult. Sure, she was named Worst Witch of the Year, but her botched spell-casting is all behind her now, right? Everything changed after discovering the ancient Book of Mystics. She’s now the leader of the Underworld… whatever that means. Apparently, she’s in charge of keeping order within the paranormal world.</div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #373737; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px;">If that wasn’t enough, Halloween—or Hallie as she prefers to be called—has two gorgeous men making her life even more confusing. The sexy vampire Nicolas Marcos has been accused of stealing another witch’s powers. With the help of Nicolas’ brother, the good-looking warlock Liam Rankin, Hallie must discover if Nicolas is guilty as charged. How will she navigate this Underworld</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i>Halloween LaVeau is descended from a long line of witches. Yes, her name is Halloween. The cosmic universe is definitely playing some kind of sick joke on her. She’s the ultimate witch cliché, complete with a black cat and spooky house. Thank heavens she’s missing the warts and flying broom.</i></span><i><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">From bestselling author, Rose Pressey, comes Forever Charmed, the first book in an all new series!</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">When Halloween </span></i></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>inherits her great-aunt’s manor, she decides to put the house to good use as a bed-and-breakfast. Her first guest is the sinfully good-looking Nicolas Marcos, but he’s not here for the continental breakfast. Halloween discovers a ratty old book in the attic. It’s written in an unfamiliar language.</i></span></span><br />
<i><span style="color: #741b47;"><br style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Halloween soon learns this is not an ordinary spellbook. The tome brings her a new talent, but her new skills come with a catch. When a rival witch comes after the book, Halloween doesn’t know who to trust–the sexy vampire who says he wants to save the day, or the warlock who says he can destroy the book once and for all.</span></span></i><br />

I couldn't put it down!!! There is just enough magic, mystery and romance in the story, its very refreshing not to have one over power the other. Stacy the main character is hilarious, some of the situations she gets into leave you wondering what she could possibly do to top it and she always does. Her cousin, Cinnamon, is the tough girl of the group. Their are 3 elder witches, Birdie, their grandma and head witch; Lolly the lovable half-wit and Fiona the Liz Taylor of her time. There are sooo many awesome characters that I can't tell you about all of them but rest assured you will love them all. I couldn't wait to get the next book so I bought it right away.

<br />
<span id="freeText16300764607953569403"><span style="color: #073763;">A prince in disguise. <br />
<br />
An unknown island. Tsunami. Political coup. Pirates with lasers. And true love. <br />
<br />
In the future, when the King sends out his children to reclaim the lost lands, Prince Geoffrey Athan D’Ambrose quests to Undae Island, the smallest of all lands in its archipelago. Top of his class and eager to prove his worth, Athan chafes at the need to be disguised as a tutor. <br />
<br />
Lady Tayte Bashan knows her black hair doesn’t qualify her to rule any island, let alone one in such disrepair. She hopes when the prophesied prince arrives he picks another bride. <br />
<br />
The people of Undae hide from their past pain in the pleasures of entertainment. Then, a darker need surfaces. And the waves rise.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span><span style="color: #073763;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></span><br />
<br />
<span><strong><em><u><span style="color: #990000;">Review</span></u></em></strong></span><br />
<br />
<span><span id="freeTextreview261510358"><span style="color: #990000;"><em>This book was interesting and but a little confusing when they talk about the King. I was told it was a futuristic book and it was BUT it all took place on an island that had never been touch since it was first inhabited by a Roman's family atleast until a man who was shipwrecked and 2 who landed with parachutes about 100 years before the story starts. They didn't really bring much to the island as far as technology so they have lived the same way for thousands of years. <br />
<br />
It is your basic prince and princess romance with "The King" whom you later discover to be Jesus in the mix. I like how they bring "The King" to the people of the Island but I found there interaction with Jesus alittle far fetched. I pray, but they see him and carry on long conversations and he comes to them in person and celebrates with them at there festival. I don't know if the Rapture has taken place and he is on earth with us or if it is another explaination. It turned me off alittle but not enough that I didn't want to read the whole book. <br />
<br />
The drama on the island picks up as the book goes along and there are some amazing twists and turns in the story that leave to wanting more right up till the end. Some scenes drag while others go by way to fast. I would love to read the 2nd book in this series, if only to see where they author goes from here. </em></span></span></span><br />

<br />
Connie Goodwin thinks her academic advisor is teasing her; she has mastered the scholarship surrounding the Salem witch trials of 1692 and knows the question he poses is preposterous. She never suspects that answering it will alter everything she knows about the past, her family, and the professor himself. <br />
<br />
Sent by her mother to prepare her long-deceased grandmother's home for sale, Connie finds a decrepit dwelling filled with venerable oddities, including a collection of ancient bottles filled with peculiar liquids and powders. On her first night there, Connie chances on a crumbling bit of paper, bearing the words "Deliverance Dane," that has been carefully hidden inside a key tucked between the pages of a 300-year-old family Bible. Combing the local church registry for traces of this mysterious name, Connie strikes up an acquaintance with Sam, a steeplejack engaged in the church s preservation. Together they piece together Deliverance's tragic story and learn of her precious book of spells and recipes for healing potions. When a series of sinister events threaten Sam's life, Connie's search for the book is transformed from scholarly pursuit to a matter of life and death -- and love</span></span><br />

<strong><u><em><span style="color: #274e13;">REVIEW</span></em></u></strong><br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: #274e13;">This was an interesting book. I loved how history overlapped with what was going on in the future. This book is about the discovery of a new person accused of being a witch during the Salem Witch Trials and finding her "book" and how her grandaughter, many times removed, discovers it and her powers. It is about love and lose and discovery and of course it has an evil eliment. </span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: #274e13;">The problem with this book is it's sooo slow paced atleast until the last few chapters where it all starts to come together. For that alone I gave it 2 out of 5 starts. I don't like being bored in a book and this one unfortuanatly was boring. The history facts were interesting but the current timeline just dragged along. </span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: #274e13;">I do not know if I would read another of this authors books, it would REALLY have to stand out to me.</span></em><br />

It was hot and romantic at the same time. It is fast paced and keeps you wanting more. I couldn't put it down until I finished it. I can't wait for the next book in this series. <br />
<br />
Bathsheba is a human female working in a paranormal dating service. Her boss is a Siren and a *****. Her sister is a werewolf in hiding, who shifts at the slightest sign of something going wrong. Did I mention that Bath is a virgin, yep and that is just the start of this awesome adventure. <br />
<br />
Beau Russell is a were-cougar. Head of the local Alliance and the go to man for all the loners in the para world. Beau has a problem, the only female were-cougar in the territory is going into heat and so is he, but she is his cousing and he needs a girl for a week long trist bad!!! <br />
<br />
Beau's luck goes down hill and his "date" from the dating service cancels on him and he needs a replacement fast. Bathsheba is the office manager and when a problem comes up its up to her to fix it. When Beau's date falls through, Bath finally agrees to go on 1 date with Beau with NO SEX. And the rest is hot romantic history. <br />
<br />
I look forward to the next installment in this series!!!</span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;">You have a Twitter account, and you know the basics. You can reply, retweet messages, include a link, and you know how to mention tweeps (Twitter peeps). So what else is there? Here are ten simple things you can do to promote your writing and your books on Twitter.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: purple;">Bonus tip: Use your writing name as your twitter handle. Mine is <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/kayelleallen"><span style="color: orange;">@kayelleallen</span></a></span></span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;">.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><ol style="margin-top: 0in;" type="1"><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;">Keep in mind that Twitter is a source. Use it as a tool to find new friends, learn new tricks, and in doing so, spread your name before the masses.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;">On your Twitter home page, click the @yourname link to see a list of mentions and followers. Send out a "Welcome new followers" message and list your new tweeps. Be sure to include the @ symbol with their handles, so others can find them. People love to be mentioned.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;">Follow other authors in your genre, and involve them in your tweets.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;">Retweet their book announcements. What goes around comes around.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;">When you read an article about books, marketing, or writing, copy the URL and paste it into Twitter to share with tweeps. Be a resource.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;">Thank people for retweeting your tweets. To do this, highlight the message, copy it, then click reply, and paste it into the blank message. In front write "Thanks for the RT". If you're short on space, you can put TY 4 RT. This sends out your message again, and both mentions and thanks the other person. And yes, this is appropriate to do. You can also reply, and just say Thanks for the RT.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;">For every one thing you say about your books, find ten things to say about others. If you do this consistently, when you post info about a book trailer, a new release, or a blog you've posted, your tweeps will retweet it.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: purple;">Use #hashtags that others are using. Click them, and they'll conduct an immediate search for everywhere the tag is being used, showing you some useful information. Some helpful ones: #authors #ebooks, #books, #amwriting, #askeditor, #nanowrimo, #pubtip, #writertips, #marketing... You get the drift. Here's a list for more ideas. </span><a href="http://is.gd/HmZiPI"><span style="color: purple;">http://is.gd/HmZiPI</span></a></span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;"> On the right side of your home page, you'll see Trending Topics. Click a few of these and read for a bit. Retweet ones that amuse or touch you. You might find a new follower or someone to follow as well.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial;">Click the Who To Follow link, and check out some new people. One of Twitter's best features is it lets you meet and follow people you'd have never met otherwise. </span></li>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="color: #504945; font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="color: #20124d;">Or rather what I should say is write what you feel. I cannot talk for all writers but for me there is always a piece of myself in everything I write, the need to relate to one of my characters, which is why I prefer my heroines to be curvy girls. I hated the fact that all the girls and later the women who resembled me were either the best-friend, the third-wheel or the comedic relief. I didn't want to be the side-kick, I wanted to be me and get my sexy man.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-CA" style="color: #504945; font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="color: #20124d;">Even as a child when I would spin tales of fairies and princesses they always looked like me, after all I couldn't rely on picture books or television where all of the pretty girls were always blond, thin and beautiful. I'm beautiful too so why can't I have my very own fairy tale?</span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-CA" style="color: #504945; font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="color: #20124d;">Now don't get me wrong I still want the fantasy of the typical romance novel but I want to be able to close my eyes and easily picture myself in the heroine's shoes. Shoes in most cases I would not be caught dead in, really if you knew what a klutz I am you would understand the horror the thought of spiked high-heels instills in me.</span></span><span lang="EN-CA" style="color: #504945; font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="color: #20124d;">Just because I write my women on the curvy side does not mean everything I write about is autobiographical. To my knowledge, I have never met a werewolf or a vampire; I have never had sex with a stranger in a darkened photography development lab and I've never murdered a co-worker. Yet every piece I write is a piece of me, full of my feelings and emotions, the imaginings of my soul.</span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-CA" style="color: #504945; font-family: "Georgia", "serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-font-family: Tahoma; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="color: #20124d;">I write because I have to, it is a something I have to do, something that makes me happy. It is my passion and in so doing I feel I must stay true to myself and that is why I write curvy women. I am a different kind of heroine and I chose to believe that there are others out their like me.<br />
<br />
My name is Venus and I write stories where the curvy girl gets her man.</span><a href="http://www.venusbookluvr.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: purple;">http://www.venusbookluvr.blogspot.com</span></a><span style="color: purple;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d;">You can blame my parents for my love of reading and my personality! My first vivid memory is of my mother sitting me down on the potty with a book in my hands. Ever since then I will read anything available including extremely outdated magazines and shampoo bottles (rinse and repeat).</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">As far as my personality, when you are named for an amatory Roman Goddess you can’t help but start reading Harlequin novels when your classmates are still reading Judy Blume.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">When I was a teen my father used to yell at me to get outside in the fresh air and I would have to sneak a book down my pant-leg, which was no easy task seeing as I was (and still am) a supreme klutz who trips over her own feet at least twice a day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I usually have a minimum of four books on the go at the same time. I read fiction and non-fiction anything I can get my hands on; I love kilted hotties, demons with hearts of gold, and shape shifting Alpha males. My favorite heroines are curvy gals, after all I find them easy to relate to. However my favorites are happily-ever-after romances.</span><br />

She has been living a life of sorrow. Her parents wrote her off when she turned 18 and her "ex" boyfriend, Layton, lied to her and was only after her money. Bryanna decides its better to just leave and start over someplace new. But when that starts in disaster Zeke comes to her rescue. <br />
<br />
Zeke is a demon, a "good" demon. He gave up his old life, taking souls for Satan, because he wanted to save souls instead. Zeke takes Bryanna back to Strange Hollow, a community tha is made up of supernatural creatures who don't fit in anywhere else. It's perfect for a good demon and a witch whose powers go wonky. <br />
<br />
When Zeke meets Bryanna, its lust at first site. He feels the need to protect her from getting hurt, even from himself. Zeke has been trying to make up for his early life as a soul taker. Neither are looking for love but they don't deny their attraction to each other. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">When Layton shows up to get Bryanna back things get crazy. Will she finally see him for the liar he is or will she leave with him and go back to a life full of lies and dissapproval??? <br />
<br />
Whatnots and Doodads is the perfect short story. It has just enough action, romance and background info to awnser all your questions. It has the perfect balance and does not overstress one area of the story and leave the rest lacking with tons of questions like other short stories and some full length novels do. <br />
<br />
The characters are well thought out and come together to make this story one of the best I have ever read. It really pulls you in from the beginning of the story and leaves you wanting more at the end. I do not usually read short stories because they always leave unawnsered questions or the balance is wrong but I am THRILLED to say that isn't the case with Whatnots and Doodads. I truly hope to hear more from Bryanna and Zeke and the small community of Strange Hallow.</span><br />

She has grown up being shunned by other elves because she wasn't pure, only being recognized when her skills are needed. She is known as a theif by her people. The Ivory King, Alberic, makes sure to use that to his advantage when the "Ivory Elfin Book of Lore" is stolen by the Crimson Elf (Vampire),Landau Jamieson. <br />
<br />
Landau Jamieson is a Crimson Elf who lives among humans and walks in the daylight, thanks to the "Ivory Elfin Book of Lore". He is also shunned and looked down at because he was turned into a vampire. He escaped with his life when the Ivory Elves' decided to irradicate his kind. Landau has been a vampire for thousands of years and he has built a new life for himself, with one small problem he can't have sex... <br />
<br />
When Julija first meets Landau, face to face, sparks fly and Landau feels passion for the 1st time since his Ivory Elf days. Julija feels the pull but is discusted that she would feel anything for this vampire and tries to concentrate on staying out of Landau's reach, getting the book back and keeping King Alberic from abusing her further. <br />
<br />
Will Julija be able to get back the book before she loses more than her pride... like her heart and can Landau learn to trust someone again after the betrayal of his people. <br />
<br />
This is a very Erotic book. If you like a mixture of Fairies, Vamps and magic then this is the book for you. It has unexpected twists and turns that keep you wanting more. Its a great read for a cold dark night :) <br />
<br />
Gracen Miller has written another awesome book. If you like this review please check out her other books Pandora's Box and Fairy Casanova. You won't be disappointed!!!</span></span><br />

I love YA books aswell as adult books and I like to read most YA's before I let me daughters read them and this book would be perfect for any child ages 12+. It was well written and I love the main theme of the book.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">Ima Blue Berry is the child of a paranormal investigator who has his own TV show Berry PI. Ima is loves the paranormal as much as her father but when the TV season ends they move to Alaska to look for more places to investigate in the off season. Ima soon discovers that there is more to Alaska than just ghosts... boys. She also has to decide who to trust and if blood is thicker than water. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">The end of the book leaves a few unawnsered questions that I would have loved to know the awnsers to but it is a great opportunity for Ms Purdy to write a sequel, HINT HINT :) I hope that you will all check out this book and even if you don't normally read YAs this is a book that doesn't disappoint even for those of us that prefer more adult genres.</span>Brandy B aka Brandlwynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04354815510779050741noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9151304488217042024.post-27196108029989554592011-09-21T17:07:00.000-05:002011-09-21T17:07:30.322-05:00"Pandora's Box by Gracen Miller" ***Review*** 5 STARS<strong><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Pandora's Box by Gracen Miller </span></u></strong><br />

"I want MORE!!!" was the first thing I thought when I finished this book. Gracen Miller's book leaves you hanging on the edge of your seat and keeps you asking for more more more!!! It is non-stop action from beginning to end and has very surprising twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat.<br />
The main heroine and hero, Madison and Pheonix, are the perfect characters. They are funny, snarky and sexy. They come from two different worlds but then their worlds collide in some very interesting ways. You can really feel what the characters are feeling and its like you are in the book with them, seeing what they are seeing and experiencing what they are experiencing. You can't help but want more.<br />
I love paranormal books and it is very hard to find a good paranormal author. In my opinion Ms. Miller's book, Pandora's Box, has covered all the bases in a good suspenseful, action packed, romantic paranormal book. I am definatly looking forward to book two in this series and I can only hope that Gracen has many many many more stories to come in this series.<br />
