Love my Kindle

I read a LOT of books. Even though I am older, I usually read young adult novels in the paranormal and fantasy genre more than anything. It seems like they allow me to escape from the everyday adult drama of life and go somewhere I can just laugh, feel young, and not be overwhelmed by adult problems (you can see some of my favorite authors on the sidebar with links to their Goodreads pages).

This past weekend I read two books that I really enjoyed. First was Gilded Wings by Cameo Renea

This is the 4th book in the Hidden Wings Series and I read all the previous books last year. They are: Hidden Wings, Tethered Wings, and Broken Wings.

Basically, the series is about a 17 year old girl, Emma, who amazingly survives a horrific car crash that kills her parents. She is then taken in by an Aunt she’s never met and finds herself surrounded by gorgeous guardians, one of which (Kade) she has an instant connection with. There are all sorts of secrets and ancient prophecies and Emma finds that she is being hunted by evil creatures and fallen angels. This series has it all, love, loss, challenges, danger, more love, evil, intrigue, heaven, hell, great personalities, burning questions, a strong main character, lots of creepy creatures from hell, hot guys, and more!

The next book I read was Chase the Dark by Annette Marie.



This is the first of three books in this series and the 2nd & 3rd books are already available for pre-order. If you are like me, when you find a good book you hate to wait for the next one to come out so I like knowing when I can get them.

In this series, Piper Griffiths wants one thing in life: To become a Consul, a keeper of the peace between humans and daemons. She has to face some challenges to clear her name after a top secret magical weapon is stolen. To succeed she partners with 2 deamons, a dragonet, and others to find out what really happened. This story has great characters, an interesting setting, and some unexpected twists and turns. Very fun read!

I should probably do a better job of making notes so I can write a more thorough review when I finish a book. Often I read them quickly and one right after the other so I do not always recall the details - I will work on that. I've already finished another book since Sunday but I will save that for another post :-)
