Awaken the Soul by Michele G. Miller

Awaken the Soul 
Series: Havenwood Falls High


Breckin Roberts has known Vivienne his entire life. Born and raised in Havenwood Falls, they attend the same school, eat at the same restaurants, and enjoy the same festivals. But they aren’t friends. They’re merely two classmates—her human and him not so much. Until one fateful December afternoon.

When Vivienne Freeman awakens late that night, disheveled and disoriented, the last thing she remembers is going for a run, but something feels . . . off. It’s not until the gorgeous but ever elusive Breckin Roberts approaches her out of the blue that she learns she almost died. And he’s the one who saved her. 
Or so he thought.


Turns out, saving Vivienne has opened her to a whole new kind of danger. Breckin is an angel who interfered with Death. It’s a slight easily forgiven, if not for the connection he awakens while healing her. A connection one Reaper finds highly appealing. A connection that could turn Vivienne into a pawn in the battle of Good versus Evil—a battle about to descend on Havenwood Falls.

This is a Young Adult paranormal romance in the Havenwood Falls High series of Young Adult fantasy stories featuring a variety of supernatural creatures. The series is a collaborative effort by multiple authors. Each book is generally a stand-alone, so you can read them in any order, although some authors will be writing sequels to their own stories. Please be aware when you choose your next read.




🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Well Damn! When I first saw the cover of Awaken the Soul I was hooked. I knew from that moment I was going to have this book in my Havenwood Falls High collection. It was one of those moments that I was totally judging the cover. I honestly like to say I knew what I was getting into when reading this book. Well I didn't. I own many of Michele G. Miller's books. I also stalk her on Social Media. I personally think she is the Bee's Knees. Alas, this is my first of her writing I have ever read, besides Social Media posts and Blurbs.  

Though I am going to be completely honest. She was writing about ANGELS in this one. So every couple seconds I had to spare since it's release I was reading. Then I finished it... I was just left there reading the words more coming in July 2018!

WTH! 

Vivie and Breck are puke in your mouth cute. I LUBS them! There is enough mystery surrounding them that it keeps you pulled in. I loved how nothing felt rushed or left out. It's pack with 120 pages of awesomeness!!! 

It ends with you needing to know more demanding to know more. At the same time satisfied with the ending. If that makes any sense at all.

I highly recommend this book. I Highly recommend Michele G. Miller. She has definitely gone to the top of my 2018 TBR List!

October 2017: Books, Life, and Reviews


HI!!
Holy Batman October is over! Where did it go? This is the time of the year where I might have bitten off more than I could chew. I'm a scout mom, and I like to help wherever I can. This year we started off a bit rocky with our Super Scout Mom, being sick. It made us all realize how much we rely on her superpowers, and also that we also have our own superpowers. She is better now, and we are rocking it like chickens with their heads cut off. Fall is our busy months. 

With as busy as I have been I was able to knock out 3 books and 2 novellas! I was hoping it would be more, but lately, I been passing out on books.  So without further ado here my top three reads of October!

P.S. Some links are affiliate links. The small amount of money I get from these, help supplement the cost of running this blog and giveaways. You don't have to click them, you can always head to the site itself and do a search! XOXOX

He’s got every reason to be cocky . . . until a female cuts him down to size.

I’m Dallas Easton, the best goaltender in the league. I make a damn good living playing hockey, and with women falling at my feet wherever I go, why not enjoy it? I get whatever I want, whenever I want—that is, until I come across the one player who gets the best of me on the ice.

When I try to pummel the dude, all hell breaks loose. Imagine my surprise when the helmet comes off to reveal a woman underneath. And not just any woman, but the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen. Callie Davis is the complete opposite of the puck bunnies I usually go for, a good girl with sick moves and a selfless streak a mile wide. I need to make amends, but she dodges me at every turn. It doesn’t help that Callie’s brother hates my guts, or that my agent thinks she’s bad for my career.

The Quiche and the Dead by Kirsten Weiss


The Quiche and the Dead
Series: A Pie Town Mystery
Author: Kirsten Weiss
Genre: Cozy Mystery


Is Val's breakfast pie the quiche of death?

Owning her own business seemed like pie in the sky to Valentine Harris when she moved to the coastal California town of San Nicholas, expecting to start a new life with her fiancé. Five months—and a broken engagement—later, at least her dream of opening a pie shop has become a reality. But when one of her regulars keels over at the counter while eating a quiche, Val feels like she's living a nightmare.


After the police determine the customer was poisoned, business at Pie Town drops faster than a fallen crust. Convinced they’re both suspects, Val's flaky, seventy-something pie crust maker Charlene drags her boss into some amateur sleuthing. At first Val dismisses Charlene’s half-baked hypotheses, but before long the ladies uncover some shady dealings hidden in fog-bound San Nicholas. Now Val must expose the truth—before a crummy killer tries to shut her pie hole.

About the Author

From USA Today Bestselling Author Apryl Baker... So who am I? Well, I'm the crazy girl with an imagination that never shuts up. I LOVE scary movies. My friend Chazz laughs at me when I scare myself watching them and tells me to stop watching them, but who doesn't love to get scared? I grew up in a small town nestled in the southern mountains of West Virginia where I spent days roaming around in the woods, climbing trees, and causing general mayhem. Nights I would stay up reading Nancy Drew by flashlight under the covers until my parents yelled at me to go to sleep. Growing up in a small town, I learned a lot of values and morals, I also learned parents have spies everywhere and there's always someone to tell your mama you were seen kissing a particular boy on a particular day just a little too long. So when you get grounded, what is there left to do? Read! My Aunt Jo gave me my first real romance novel. It was a romance titled "Lord Margrave's Deception." I remember it fondly. But I also learned I had a deep and abiding love of mysteries and anything paranormal. As I grew up, I started to write just that and would entertain my friends with stories featuring them as main characters. Now, I live Huntersville, NC where I entertain my niece and nephew and watch the cats get teased by the birds and laugh myself silly when they swoop down and then dive back up just out of reach. The cats start yelling something fierce...lol. I love books, I love writing books, and I love entertaining people with my silly stories.

Review: Linger

Linger Linger by Maggie Stiefvater
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Holy Moly! Talk about a roller coaster of emotions. It's now been 4 days since I have finished this book and I'm still in a funk with the rawness of emotions from these characters. It's been forever since a young adult fantasy novel has put me through such a journey. As soon as my emotions are back to normal. ( You know crying at stupid commercials again) I will be heading Back to check on Grace, Sam and the Rest of the players of Mercy Falls.

New Release: Love Heals All by Alison Mello

Love Heals All
Series: Once Broken
Author: Alison Mello
Genre: Military Romance

Read it Free with your Kindle Unlimited Subscription



I’m not the same man I once was. 

The things I’ve seen, the things I’ve done, haunt me every day…and every night. It never leaves, always scratching and clawing at the surface of my mind, driving me insane. 

When I close my eyes, the images are there. I can’t forget the pain, the fear. I don’t think anyone could.

And then there’s Brooke, the girl I left behind years ago because of my deployment. But I’m back now, and she’s still the woman I want. The connection we shared in the past is still there, as if I had never left.

The only problem is I need to find a way to heal and get rid of the demons I carry around inside, and I need to do it before it destroys me.

Before it destroys her.

As soon as she finished the first book, she began writing the second book in the series. Her third book was finished by the time Finding Love had been accepted for publication.
