I know I haven't been posting for a little bit but I have been busy with work. It seems like this is the busy season when it comes to candy. I am currently working six days a week and that along with working on my own stuff and judging some local things have kept me from reading all I should.
Don't fear though I have been reading and I will be posting more book reviews.

Fire Burn and Cauldron bubble. by H.P. Mallory
I have to say that on the whole I loved this book. Yes at times it did get a little drawn out but still I wanted to read more. When it ended I was heading to Amazon looking for book two of the series.
This is a book full of hot guys. Rand the warlock who has feelings for Jolie the witch he is training yet he refuses to act on them. Trent the werewolf who Jolie decides to date if she can't have Rand. Sinjin the vampire who is nothing but a flirt and we still don't know what his agenda is. Add to all this male sexiness an evil with by name of Bella who wants to rule the other world creatures.
The story moves long fairly well, I find myself relating to Jolie as she struggles to come to terms with being a witch, being taken from her home and shown world she didn't even know existed.
What's even better I at the moment amazon is offering this book for free on kindle. Head over there and get it, it's a very entertaining read and you will be hurrying out to buy the second book just to see what Sinjin is up to and if Jolie will finally make Rand understand you can mix business and pleasure.

Claiming Mariah by Pam Hillman
I had a hard time putting this book down and that is a rare thing for me.
Mariah has been struggling with running the Lazy M ranch since her father died. Thinking she is doing the right thing after she finds out her father had stolen the money to buy the ranch she contacts his one time partner in mining. Slade Donavan and his brother Buck show up at the ranch showing the dead to the mine and claiming ownership of the ranch. Slade agrees to let Mariah and her grandmother stay at the ranch until his own mother shows up. Neither one expects to fall in love with the other and when Slade discovers cattle rustling going on the danger he brings to Mariah causes him to prove that love.
I don't read a lot of western romances but this one was a really good book. I didn't want to put it down and hated that I had to go to work because it meant I couldn't read. I hated that it ended, I wanted it to go a little further. I need a book with Buck finding his true love, I want to know more about Slade's mother and sisters. This is an author who I will read more of.

Beastiality By Shameek Speight
What can I say about this book. It was bad. I can't believe I actually wasted a dollar on it, I can't believe I actually finished it. I know it is a story, I know it is fantasy but make it somewhat believable.
A wonderful happily married couple move to San Diego, why? Because apparently it is the only town that won't discriminate against Bi- Racial couples. Trevor is a doctor, I'm not sure how long he has been out of medical school but long enough that he has money to spare and apparently no loans to pay off. His wife is Natalie and apparently she has money of her own from some business she runs. Natalie is lonely in the new town, she misses Chicago she wants a child. Trevor decides to get her a dog instead. What does she choose but a Great Dane, Pitt Bull mix.
When she gives more attention to the dog then her husband he decides to have an affair with the woman on the first floor.
It isn't long before the dog goes crazy, chews off Natalies cloths and rapes her. He does this repeatedly never letting her dress and forcing her to take him when ever he wants. This happens for several weeks and her husband never seems to check his voice mail or return home.
Apparently her calls to 911 are ignored because she does call for help but no one shows up.
Her husband finally does show up and he tries to shoot the dog but misses and the bullet goes through the floor. Ironically the people who live below them don't seem to care about the gunfire upstairs.
This isn't some inner city apartment, this is a condo wroth models, doctors and so forth. Why no one calls for help, reports strange sounds or gunfire and why 911 doesn't respond to the call is beyond me. The story is just to unbelievable for words. The sex while plenty of it is the same sex over and over and over.

The Beckoning by Christopher Savio
I loved this book. Yes it does have some POV changes and yes there are some miss spelled words but other then that I couldn't put the book down. I stayed up until one in the morning to finish it knowing I had to be up by four that morning.
Marissa is a shy girl who finds it almost painful to talk to boys. She has two great friends and her dog Max. Marissa has always been close to her parents who installed a love of history in her. After her father visits a plantation he becomes obsessed with it. He decides that the whole family must move to Mill Run.
Marissa isn't happy but has no choice. After arriving there strange things happen to her parents who become less and less like the people she knew and more like some glass eyed zombie. Then other things start to change around her...the town of Mill Run never changes, the same cars pass on the street, the same people sit in the diner. Then strange things happen in the house. Marissa runs across an old diary that tells of a demon that has taken over the house and Marissa knows it is up to her to save her family.
As I said once i was into the story I didn't want to put it down. The point of view shifting about half way through the story did bother me a little but I was able to move past it. The same with the few misspelled words, I was able to over look them. The story was fairly fast paced even though it made fighting a demon fairly simple. Still it is a young adult book and I believe most young adults along with adults will enjoy the story.

A home in the west
I have to say I love Amish Fiction. There is nothing more touching then the sweetness of a relationship without the need for sex. I love seeing a relationship bloom, sometimes against all odds. What I love and what this book is are two different things. I am aware this is a free short story but...I felt nothing for the people in the book. Yes the Amish took in a young boy and his mother. They lived among them, became one of the people. Of course this was told to me in a couple of short paragraphs. The same with a romance, the book didn't make me fall in love, it was more like reading a Sunday paper. The facts were given and a marriage created but nothing more then that.
Really if your looking for some sweet romance skip this short story, it didn't live up to its promise.

The Graveyard Speaks
The Graveyard Speaks by Hunter Shae is actually a pretty good short story, Jessica is a ghost hunter. She loves to find EB's and help them reach the next place of destination. When she is called in by a cemetery caretaker she discovers this EB isn't like all the others. So she sets out to discover who is haunting the grave of Meredith Spooner and why.
It is a short tie in story but don't let that stop you. It is a full and complete story, you wont need to read the others to know what is happening. I found it to be rather enjoyable and will be looking for other books by Hunter Shae.
