Scars & Songs (Mad World #3) - review

After reading Scars and Songs I am definitely loving Shane Maxton even more than humanly possible! 

“You want to be my first, Shane?”
“No, baby, I’m going to be your last.” 
- Grace and Shane

Scars and Songs is Fall from Grace and Saving Grace retold from Shane's point of view. If you haven't read those books then you are missing out! This book adds to the already excellent series. You will love the characters and the storyline from the very beginning of time! There is so much angst, sexual tension and a holyfreakinghotness factor going on!

Shane Maxton, lead singer for Mad World is a swoon-worthy, bad boy rock star who isn't what everyone thinks he is. In this book we get to see his fall from grace, his innermost thoughts and just what he will do to get the girl he's been looking for for over 2,000 years.

A perfect ending to a phenomenal series! I dare you to not fall in love with Shane Maxton! Good luck ladies, he is heaven on Earth!

The Ascent of the Undeparted - review

Book 2 in the Undeparted Series was just as awesome, if not better than the first!

Quentin is trying to discover a way to alter his blood so that he  will be able to change him and Cassandra back to mortal. If they can ascend to the final judgement, Quentin may be able to atone for his past sins.  The one thing standing in his way is the Banished One, Lucius!! Lucius, once known as Mike is out for revenge against Quentin. He kidnaps Cassandra as leverage against Quentin and will stop at nothing to take down the powerful vampire.  Although Quentin in seemingly weaker because of the blood altering potion, his love for Cassandra is much stronger!

Deborah Palumbo is a fantastic story teller and I strongly suggest that you start reading this series! I hear it's only gonna get better!!!!

The Undeparted - review

Book 1 in the Undeparted Series.....

Cassandra is the only mortal to resist being bitten by a vampire. She is now trying to figure out if that night was real or just a dream.  Her boyfriend, police officer, Mike Lapp doesn't believe that vampires exist and neither does her best friend and colleague, Lucy.  Quentin, the mysterious vampire is determined to have Cass believe in him and will do what it takes to prove himself to her because she has awakened something in him that he has suppressed for many years.  Quentin decides to blackmail Cassandra by setting up Mike for a murder that he didn't commit. Cassandra surrenders herself to him but when Mike comes to rescue her she realizes that people are not what they appear to be.

I really enjoyed this book. Quentin was mysterious and not my "normal" vampire type that I'm used to but I admit that halfway through I was so intrigued. Wouldn't mind learning more about Christian either (hint, hint)! The ending completely shocked me. What a great turn of events!  I can't wait to read more of the series!! 

Fall From Grace - review

This book was excellent and it was free for me when I got it. I believe that is still pretty cheap and worth the dollar or two that it costs.

Grace has a secret that only her best friend and her brother know. Now that her brother has died she is back in New York and living with her bff when she meets the one and only Shane Maxton! He is so much like Kellen Kyle, (just a few years older), hot, sexy, bad boy, rockstar that it's hard not to fall in love with him! There is so much sexual tension between him and Grace since she absolutely refuses to be another notch on his belt.

I really couldn't put this book down and pretty much didn't. It ends with a paranormal twist and huge cliffhanger. Luckily there is a book 2 in the works and my only hope is that it doesn't completely change it's tone but I sort of think it will. Guess we'll find out!
