Review The Player by Laura DeLuca



Book Description

 December 12, 2012
Joshua Hanover had it all. He was handsome, rich, athletic, and had always been popular with the ladies. Yet, until he gets paired up with his beautiful but shy lab partner, Rosa, he never allowed himself to fall in love. As the chemistry between them grows, Josh realizes that his player days have come to end. But it seems his change of heart has come too late. Not only is Rosa leery of his bad boy reputation, he has four vindictive ex-girlfriends who are on a rampage. At first he doesn’t take their threats seriously, but then his tires are slashed, someone tries to poison him, and one of the girls turns up dead. Josh doesn’t know who to trust, but one thing is certain. It definitely isn’t worth the price he’s paying to be a player.


My review

Joshua is a player, he dates four girls the same time, till he meet Rosa, she is shy, beautiful, smart and there is something between them.
Rosa keeps distance at first because she knows his reputation.
To proof her he is serious he breaks up with all girls that day and goes for her only. He did not expect the anger of the girls, his bestie stays next to him no matter what and always listens and support him.

Suddenly one of his ex girls is killed, Joshua is in shock, her brother determine that is is the break up that cost it, goes after Joshua.
When a second ex girlfriend is brutal attacked, he gets desperate, the police suspects him. Joshua himself how ever gets very sick and ends up in the hospital. This can't be coincident anymore and with help of his friends he goes investigate it to proof his innocents.

Will the be on time to find who the killer is before a forth victim is made?
You will have to read that for yourself, I liked the story, I did guess close to the end who it was. Can you ?

The Promise Release Event

Demon Dolan Ciar exists on three simple words: desire, denial, and destruction. Every four years, he is allowed one night of earthly passion to punish a deserving female. By the time he is finished, his victims are left as willing receptacles for demons yet to come.
Since she was four, a demon has been the only constant in Leora Desmond's life. He taught her how to seize control, to never give up, and to take whatever she wanted. At twenty-four, her self-centered existence is focused on one thing. She wants Dolan, and she won't be dissuaded.
A mistake brought Dolan to Leora. A promise bound him to her. Returning once again to ask for his freedom, he is faced with Leora demanding to be his next conquest. The ultimate retribution would be to take from her the ultimate symbol of her selfishness.
Now, Dolan must decide if he can doom her to life in living hell or face his own set of unearthly consequences, while Leora must choose between her pleasure and her heart.
The Promise blurs the line between good and evil, desire and love, and promises and commitment.

My review:

Sydney London is a girl with special abilities, more since she lost her father in a car accident, which she survived, she had a near death experience.
She slowly loses people around her, and meets dark and good Angels and  she discovers that she is a Nephilim, half Angel and human. The dark angels want her to stick with them and be in the counsel, they kidnap her and kill her best friend. she goes on a trip to bring back her death friend. she meets many creatures but has great help from her childhood friend and guardian Angel Angelo. She is learning more and more about her powers and it pretty strong. If she will succeed bringing her friend back to life or not you will have to read for yourself.

At a point she finds out the truth on what her mother is it is a great paranormal story between right and wrong, also will you find Greek Mythology in it. I loved every minute of it.
