Into Shadow by T.D. Shields

This was a fresh read set in a future time. A young girl Poppy left on her own after her father was murdered.

She was no plain Jane, trained from the start by her father who just happened to be the President . She sets

out on her own to stay alive and plot revenge. Of course she meets up with good and bad people along  the

way. Decisions on who to trust and who to love come into play. One day she is the pampered Presidents

daughter by night she is transformed into a drifter as to walk alone. With the help of a pack she manages to

keep safe and start to plot her revenge I hope. I finished dinner so I could get back to the book and didn't

realize there were only two swipes left. So yes I will want to read Into Light to find out how Poppy and

Lucas the leader (boyfriend) get back at Cruz who was a friend of the family. Wonder also if Mateo ever

shows up. Poppy and Mateo have a little history I'm not telling . 5 crows here.

The Emperor's Arrow by Lauren D.M.Smith

Love having only one job during he summer I get to read a book a day. Yesterday's book was The Emperor's Arrow . Written by Lauren D.M.Smith the winner of Harlequin's So you think you can write 2015. Yeah she can write. I loved the cover , was so happy it was not The Bachelor type story . There was competition so the Ruler Galen could choose himself a bride .Some female (cat fighting) nothing physical . Plots yes to overthrow the Ruler Galen so of course you get a little bit of everything.
It was a pleasure to read . Yes gave it 5 crows . Off to search for another see what I can get in before work. Don't forget to read often even if its just a few lines.

find out what would happen next . At times the Twins made me laugh. I can't wait to find out if the story continues it is really good.

Hollowland by Amanda Hocking

I started reading this as something to put me to sleep. Thank goodness I had a snow day. This was the first book in a while to keep me awake

with fascination and anxiety . I could just see the whole scene on my bedroom wall playing out as I read it. I felt desperate to escape and

just as creepy as Remy to get out of Korechs underground cult like ranch compound. I know the Walking Dead is popular right now and I've

read plenty books close to this subject but Hollowland is really nerve wrenching. Only 46 percent into the book I believe Remy's brother

is the cure . So glad I see this as a #1 so sorry now to have put other books by Amanda Hocking on the back burner.
A wonderful Read what an ending! Giving it 5 crows feet.

Tempted by Her Innocent Kiss by Maya Banks


Devon thought he could pull off a business merger and have a wonderful life all he had to do was get the big associates daughter to fall in love with him and say yes to his proposal of marriage.  To him love didn't' matter . Ashley would never know she was part of the deal his friend Cam tried to warn him but he refused to listen. Ashley was crazy about him. Little did Devon know he was crazy about her to. He didn't realize it until she walked out on him .She found out about the fathers plans her then her best friend tells Devon about the baby he knows he loves her and wants a family with her and its going to take some work to get her back .

I wonder if there are arranged marriages these days just for business sake. Ashley had no idea though she was extremley hurt that Devon thought her to be so needy and giddy so irresponsible. She tried to make the marriage work by changing herself, cooking , and arranging things she thought would make Devon love her. What they both didn't know is that he loved her just the way she was and by her changing it took her spirit away. You shouldn't have to change completely for the person learning to cook is fine but don't ever let anyone take your smile.
