Now You See Her

Psychic Visions #8

Release date : Nov 8, 2015

Rating : 4 Stars

Energy. The life force of good … and evilAnd sometimes evil is stronger.Tia spent years imprisoned in a ‘special’ program. When she finally escaped, she ran as far away as she could. But it wouldn’t leave her alone.Only one person can help her. Stefan. But when she contacts him for help, she gets more than she bargained for. Six weeks later, she awakens from a coma to find more problems than ever – and she’s still being hunted.Dean, moonlighting as a guard at the hospital, finds himself in an impossible situation. His belief system is stretched out of control by someone whom he can’t forget … and can’t believe. Until he has no choice.With everything on the line, Tia and Dean must work together to solve the problem that has somehow – in a very unique way – entwined them both.

Before I start reviewing this book, I want to mention that this book usually is nothing I would read. But because I have read the Broken…But Mending series, I just needed to give it a try as I love Dale Mayers writing-style! And you know what?

It was a very good decision!”Now You See Her….” by Dale Mayer is book 8 of the Psychic Visions series, but definetly can be read as a standalone ( which doesn´t mean that I won´t read the other ones….). In this story the reader gets confronted with Tia´s past who has spent a long time as a prisoner because of her special abilities .

After she is able to escape she meets Stefan who seems to be her only chance to stay hidden. In this context, the word “Hidden” just has a totally different meaning…

A plot which promises tension, action, emotions, a bit of craziness, but also lots of for this genre typical elements. From the very beginning to the end I enjoyed reading-and this not just because of the awesome writing-style which reveals a lot details without revealing too many…

It´s easy to imagine not only the scene, but also the very interesting characters that are part of the story.

Even if it still needs some time to adapt to this genre, I really enjoyed reading this book and can definetly say that I can recommend it to you!

Thank you very much …

Tess Diamond… you know … actually I should be angry with you …

when you requested me to read “Dangerous Games” I did not pay attention to a tiny fact.

This tiny fact left me now devastated…

What that fact is ? that is for me to know and for the other readers to find out.

And I can only recommend this book as it has been a long time since I read that kind of solid novel that does not push the romance in the book before everything else.

With this story you will actually find a well developed plotline that keeps you guessing.

Ms. Diamonds writing is solid and flawless and I will be sure to read more from her.

Enjoy

Hart #1

Release date : August 8th 2013

Rating : 5 Stars

Elyssa Hart has tried to forget that frightful night during her freshman year of college. Since then it’s been hard to let anyone close, which is why she only has one friend near and dear to her heart. Forsaking all others, she lives a silent, lonely existence. That was until she jumped into the next chapter of her life; Sales Executive at the prestigious Salerno Health, Inc. The moment she met the always calm and collected Alexander James, her life was set on a new path. One moment she’s slowly falling in love and the next she’s plummeting painfully to the ground with the realization that you don’t marry your dirty little secret; you keep her in the closet. That was, until she found out she was not his only kept secret. Will the enigma of Mr. James be more than Elyssa can handle? Or will she choose him, like she promised she always would.

You have to read many bad Books just to get to the some that feel OK to you – and to find those that really move you is a daunting task.

I read many books that I have been requested to read, either by publishers or by authors and even if most of them are good or even terrific – there is a slight difference between a book that you have been requested to read and one you choose for yourself at a certain time.

Choosing a book is always a mood thing and last week my mood was somehow set on something in the line of “If you read xxx – This will be your next book”.

I found my series when I stumbled across the “Hart” series by Ann Stewart.

Chosen Heart (Hart, #1)

Shattered Heart (Hart, #2)

Destined Heart (Hart, #3)

Several years back when I read #50 shades a lot of books were published that had to live up to the comparison to this book and only few survived this comparison if I would be the judge and jury.

In all honesty – there better books out there that COULD be compared to 50shades but are in fact much better so such a comparison would not do them justice This book series is one of them.

Without going into details I would like to recommend this series with the following line.

If you liked #50 shades of grey – if you read #crossfire and are in love with #JesseWard – you will LOVE this series …

and if by the slight chance you have no idea what/who I am talking about ? …well then I am not sure if you will survive the “experience” of meeting Alexander

Are you ready to try ?

Title : Hawaiian Heartbreak

Author :

Series : N/A

Release date:September 2nd 2015

Rating : 3 Stars

Kayla’s had her time licking her wounds after her ex-boyfriend tipped her world upside down. Now she’s ready to take time out for herself on a dream vacation in Hawaii. If that won’t pull the shattered pieces of her heart back together, nothing will.What she hadn’t planned on was falling for someone new. Especially someone tall, tanned, and distractingly sexy. What starts out as a fun holiday fling quickly turns into a full-blown love affair, with neither wanting to face up to the fact that the clock is ticking until Kayla has to return home. The first book of three in the Hawaiian Heartbreak trilogy. This book is recommended for readers over the age of 18 due to explicit sexual content.

Review :

After reading the blurb I expected this kind of story I also got at the end: one which you can enjoy without thinking too much …one that you can read in one sitting… And that is exactly what I got! I really like the story-line -even if you know that some situations never could happen this way in real life which makes you smirk from time to time. It´s still nice to see Kayla´s and her “affair´s” story develope. However, sometimes it felt like there are some loose ends, especially regarding to the characters…. It was a feeling of incompleteness which could be the case because of the length. What I really liked about this book is the writing style which shows what a talented author Libby Cole is. I am definetly looking out for other books from Libby Cole!
