   First let me say that I think it is important that a reviewer focus on the fiction work itself and not their opinion.  When I review books that is what I promise I will do.  Every book I read is judged on it's quality of work, regardless of the genre or my personal opinion of the subject matter.  All that matters is the work itself.  Nothing more.  So, with that being said here is my rating scale:

 5 Stars ~ An Extremely well written story.  Giving to the depths of both the characters and the story itself.  Leaving you sad when it is over, because you could keep reading on.

 4 Stars ~ A Well written story.  This book kept me interested throughout and never made me want to skim through, much less put it down. 

 3 Stars ~ A Good story.  While this was a good story, it did not keep me interested the whole time.  There were parts that drug on and left me bored with where the story was going.

 2 Stars ~ An Okay story.  While this story had a decent plot it was poorly executed thus making it hard to read.

 1 Star ~ A story.  This story was written and published but it did not please the reviewer at all.  It was poorly written and was very hard to finish. 

 

Haunted Destiny By Kelly Abell

 http://www.heartsonfirebooks.com

 

 

 

     Haunted Destiny is a young adult paranormal romance written by Kelly Abell.  While I have never read Kelly’s work previously I was familiar with her name in regards to her suspense, Sealed In Lies.  After reading Haunted Destiny I was quite surprised to find that she had never written in this genre before. 

     After losing her parents to a car accident, Destiny goes to live with her Grandmother.  She runs into many of the obstacles that teenagers would today, but Destiny has more to contend with that just that.  She has special gifts that her Gram offers to help her better understand.  As the book progresses more people are affected by evil and it is up to Destiny to save them from the forces that have taken over.

      Haunted Destiny was an extremely well written book.  From the beginning of this book there was constantly something intriguing me and forcing me to continue turning the pages.  This is a book I not only would recommend to anyone who loves a great story, but I hope this isn’t the last paranormal we see from Kelly Abell.  It was a treat to read.

 The Dark Path By Luke Romyn

 http://www.wildchildpublishing.com

 

 

 

 

       The Dark Path is not a book I would have chosen if I was perusing the shelves at my local eBook store.  Finding myself drawn to the more romantic genre's of today I don't venture into other areas as much as I should.  After reading blurbs of The Dark Path I found myself intrigued, wanting to read more.  So, I gave into my curiosity and bought it.  I am incredibly thankful that I did. 

 

       The Dark Path takes you on the journey of a man, Vain who is forced into protecting young Sebastian.  Fighting against a group known as the Souls of Sordarrah he finds himself pitted against an evil unlike any he's ever known.  Vain's struggle to keep Sebastian safe and from harm will keep you on the edge of your seat and turning the page in a relentless quest to find out more.  I have to thank the author, Luke Romyn for opening my eyes to a new genre and making me thankful for giving into my curiosity.

Upon A Crazy Horse By Frank Allan Rogers

http://www.heartsonfirebooks.com/

 

Upon ACrazy Horse was a surprise to say the least.  When I first started reading it I was aware that it was an action/adventure story, but once I began reading it I became riveted by the developing plot and characters as the author, Frank Allan Rogers, took me to the actual time and place as the events unfolded.  Bonita, a woman who was fooled by a man who is evil and cruel beyond comprehension finds herself living a life of slavery.  Struggling to survive she attempts to escape several times.  Jack, a cowboy at heart, riding the trail with a group of tourists finds he has more courage and endurance than he ever imagined as he and others do everything in their power to help the troubled woman.  The question remains who will be left standing in the end?  This book was a page turner right up until the very end.  I actually caught myself biting my nails as I read on, anxious for what would happen next.  Frank Allan Rogers has given us all a true gem in Upon A Crazy Horse.  A Definite must read.

 Scent of a Vampire  By Jude Stephens   

 http://www.heartsonfirebooks.com/

Scent Of A Vampire is an steamy paranormal romance that I couldn’t put down. While I have never taken to the paranormal genre I found myself entranced by the depth of the characters. Jude Stephens was able to make me feel the emotions that were playing out with every page that I turned. Had I not read Jude’s story I may never had found a new genre which I enjoy. It is a truly outstanding book which I would read again. However, I must warn you that if you read this book the author leaves you wanting more. I only hope there is a sequel in the works!

 Baby And All  By Paige Warren   

 http://www.wildhorsepress.webs.com/

Page Warren delivers a sweet romance with all of the happily ever afters that you would look for in a good romance.  While there is some underlying turmoil surrounding the heroine's life it does not take away from the romantic tension which increases between herself and the hero.  The story leaves you feeling satisfied that even in the most horrible of situations, perhaps there is hope for hapiness.
