It's Monday...What are You Reading?




It's Monday! What Are You Reading is hosted by Book Journey!

This is a great post where I share what books I read last week and what books I'm going to read this week! So lets get started, shall we? 
Last Week I Read:  
 What I'm Reading Today:

When unworldly student Ana Steele first encountered the driven, damaged young entrepreneur Christian Grey it sparked a sensual affair that changed both their lives irrevocably. Shocked, intrigued, and ultimately repelled by Christian’s singular sexual tastes, Ana demanded a deeper commitment; determined to keep her, Christian agreed.

Now, together, they have more – love, passion, intimacy, and a world of infinite possibilities. But Ana always knew that loving her Fifty Shades would not be easy, and being together poses challenges neither of them ever anticipated. Ana must somehow learn to share Christian’s opulent lifestyle without sacrificing her own integrity, identity or independence; Christian must somehow overcome his compulsion to control, and lay to rest the horrors that blighted his past and haunt his present.

Just when it seems that together their love can conquer any obstacle, misfortune, malice and fate combine to make Ana’s worst nightmares come true. Alone and desperate, she must face down the poisoned legacy of Christian’s past.

Seductive, shocking, sad and funny, Fifty Shades Freed is the compelling final volume in the Fifty Shades trilogy

Review: Thrall by Steven Shrewsbury

Review: Thrall by Steven Shrewsbury



IN A GLANCE: As a lover of Fantasy and Dragons, reading and loving this book was a no brainier for me. I loved Thrall and couldn't get enough of the characters!

Title: Thrall
Author: Steven Shrewsbury
Publisher: Seventh Star Press
Format: Paperback
Pages: 263 pages
ISBN #: 0983108633
Buy This: Amazon * Seventh Star Press 


Set in the mists of ancient times, Thrall tells the story of Gorias La Gaul, an aging warrior who has lived for centuries battling the monstrosities of legend and lore. It is an age when the Nephilum walk the earth, demonic forces hunger to be unleashed, and dragons still soar through the skies … living and undead.

On a journey to find one of his own blood, a young man who is caught in the shadow of necromancy, Gorias' path crosses with familiar enemies, some of whom not even death can hold bound. Thrall is gritty, dark-edged heroic fantasy in the vein of Robert E. Howard and David Gemmell. It is a maelstrom of hard-hitting action and unpredictable imagery, taking place within an incredible antediluvian world. In Gorias La Gaul, Thrall introduces an iconic new character to the realms of fantasy literature.

Thrall invites the reader to go on a perilous journey where it is not a matter of whether one has the courage to die, but whether one has the courage to live.

Browsin Your Bookshelf with Jessica from Jess Resides Here

 I'm really excited to post this today! Browsin Your Bookshelf is a post where I get to showcase some other bloggers and what is on there bookshelf's. Today I have Jessica from Jess resides here

So Lets see what she has on her bookshelf!!!

When Ali asked me to guest post about the books on my shelf I thought well that's a great idea why didn't I think of it. Then I thought books my favorite subject I'll enjoy sharing about that. 

It's hard to know where to start, I as with any reader have a monster TBR pile okay mountain. I love when authors contact me asking for reviews and at the same time it freaks me out because I find it hard to say no and then that pile just keeps growing. In the beginning you are dying for authors asking you to read their books and then in time you have more than you know what to do with. A great problem to have I think. 

Instead of running through my whole wait list I'll go over the ones I need to get to soonest. 

I am about to pick up as I write this Poseidon's Children by Michael West. He's a Seventh Star Press author and they are a great publishing company. I've been sent many wonderful books to review and can't praise them enough for the kindness I have been shown. Poseidon is one that I have been eager to get to. Horror I must say is my favorite genre and Michael enjoys horror the way most people enjoy chocolate. Embraced whole hearted.

Review: My Merlin Awakening by Priya Ardis

Review: My Merlin Awakening by Priya Ardis


IN A GLANCE: My Merlin Awakening by Priya Ardis is stunning and beautifully written

Title: My Merlin Awakening
Author: Priya Ardis
Publisher: Ink Lion Books
Format: ebook
Pages: 340 pages
ISBN #:  9780984833917


If you haven't broken the rules, have you really lived?

Excalibur has been pulled from the stone, but what does it mean? Arriane (aka Ryan) DuLac doesn’t really care. She's got bigger problems—as student president, she's got to put on the Prom. While the Wizard Council debates their next move, she leaves the craziness behind and heads home.

But she can’t hide forever. Sooner than she’d like Merlin (aka Matt) has her chasing mermaids on the trail of the Fisher King. The wounded King, defeated by Merlin’s brother, Vane, in the past holds the key to save the future.

On the journey, Ryan begins to realize the friends she thought she knew, she may not know at all. At a time of shifting alliances, she must decide whose side she’s on—the brother who struggles to do right or the brother who dares to break the rules? And Ryan must decide who she is—a regular or a champion?

One wrong decision and her family falls apart. One wrong decision and the world falls apart. No pressure
