Ben is stunned when Toni leaves and at the arrival of his long lost love, Catherine, but her arrival doesn't eradicate Toni from his mind. Unlikely allies will team up to get Toni back from the Lord of the Underworld, Hades, but it's not Hades they need to worry about.

**This Book Includes Sexual Content**


My review:

This is the second book of the series and a good one, we learn about Toni a doctor, when they are called on night to introduce a new nurse Ben. Time stand still a little when she stares in his eyes and forget all around her. She has to show him around and work with him.
He invites her to have breakfast and she is fascinated with him. She slowly finds out he is an vampire which scares her at first, when he tells her that she is in danger for the Lord of the Underworld she thinks he is crazy, because Hades does not exist in her mind.

Suddenly she wakes up at Hades place and he tells her that they have been lovers always.
she has strong feelings building up but keeps on thinking of Ben.
Then she hears about Hades wife and gets mad, she even finds out that someone she is very close too is there as well...... it gets worse and worse and when Ben with others bounce in to safe her, they have a surprise waiting............ read for yourself how it goes on, I highly recommend it.

One lone tree is all that remains of the cherished Standridge family orange groves, a legacy that goes back as far as the Civil War. But for young Colly Standridge, that solitary tree is at the center of a magical world.

Inspired by real people, The Sour Orange Derby follows the lives of Colly, who dreams of becoming a professional baseball player, and K.B.

My Review:

What a great story. I love the characters of K.B. and Kariss, and little Colly,  K.B sounds like a wonderful grandfather and dad to Jude. those story takes you into the past of the family and the present. it is heartwarming, you love with them, cry with them and learn it is okay to life on without forgetting or not loving the one you lost. it made me smile, cry and feel with them a lot. It reminded me of things in my own youth.

I can see this story do a lot for families and I recommend also older kids to read it. it warmed my heart.

My Review:

 April 17, 2012

Being a teen in a retirement area, is one more thing to add to her 'this sucks' list. It's bad enough to have to move, but even worse her alcoholic father left them as he went on a quest to be an artist in Greece.

Things begin to look up when she is reintroduced to Caleb, the dorky boy that saved her life one summer at the beach. Caleb is no longer scrawny and nerdy, he is now tall, dark and handsome. Caleb is a Light Tamer.

Jessie and Amber become fast friends. Amber is a no frills girl, her snarky comments and sassy attitude will raise a few eyebrows and have you laughing out loud. Amber is rough around the edges, a light tamer with only two years left to find the one she is bound to. Her father's surfing accident left her dad paralyzed and her brother dead.

This paranormal romance will keep you on the edge of your seat with humor, romance, and determination. Fall head over heels for Caleb and Jessie.




My Review:

When Jessie's alcoholic father left them and her mother can't find a job,  they are forced to move from New York to North Carolina to live with her Grandmother Gayle. Gayle is a very modern woman who does not like being called Grandma, She takes Jessie with her to friends and there Jessie meets Caleb again, a boy she remembers at scary, creepy and he wanted to hold her all the time, but now he is a nice guy and handsome. when they shake hands she feel sparks going through her and it makes her feel good. they always need lights and for emergency they carry a L.E.D flashlight.

They meet up the next day and he explains to her about what they are, Light Tamers, they absorb light and its energy. Her grandmother knew and installed special lightening in her house before Jessie arrived.
She meets Caleb's friend Amber a nice, messy girl that helps take care of her father, who lost his legs.

One day her father returns and Jessie finds out he did not abandons her but left to get sober. He explains to her more.................... It is a fun book, very well told in the spirits of teenagers, it is light and refreshing! and also  fitting for YA readers.

My Review:

This book tells you the story about Sissy Monroe, who dreams since she was six years old about her sister that disappears, she remembers the police and the search very clear. Several years later when people touch her, she will get a vision about their dead and she find out the next day it really happened that way.

Once there she loves seeing her family and realizes how much she missed her mother, who surprises her with an boyfriend she had for years and not telling Sissy, Sissy runs away at that point.
Later she will accept Mark , then the party day comes and whole family comes over and then she feels a hand on her shoulder and gets a vision of her grandmother dying............. if you want to know how it goes from here, read the book! 
The ending was surprising not something I expected at all, very interesting.
