Jamie McGuire – Providence Trilogy Reading Order

By Leave a Comment

Loved the first two books!! Angels, demons and humans that are the key to something BIG!! Nina’s “normal” world will never be what it once was, once Jared makes his way into her life, but no matter what danger is lurking in the background, the underlying emotional tug of war between two very worthy men remains in the forefront. Fate plays a HUGE role in this series, in fact, it’s based on it. But what if these very characters are misunderstanding “fate” and possibly harming themselves in the process?  This one is full of sweet, romantic and downright heartbreaking moments between two star-crossed lovers that were never meant to be… or were they? read more

Book Review – Seithe by Poppet

By 7 Comments

Seithe and Phoebe (Neuripra Book 1)
I happened upon this one on my latest “freebie list”, when a few fellow readers pointed it out, and I’m so happy they did. It turned out to be a non-stop read for me, with lots of emotional upheaval in all sorts of good and bad ways. The author wrote the main character’s perspective and thought processes so well, that I too, had all of the adrenaline rushes, experienced the same confusion and doubts, and felt her parallel feelings of immense attraction to, and desperate fear of the one that calls himself “Seithe”. read more
