Then There Was You - Melanie Dawn - Review

Then There Was You by Melanie Dawn Review
What can I say, I was blown away by the story. I loved the way the story progressed from present to past and then back again to the present. Chris and Salem had a great story to tell, from the POV from a very angry teen and a post-partum depressed woman. Each storyline was amazing and I can say I was emotionally connected to Salem.

Salem and Chris both came a long way while working together, her being the 24 year old counselor struggling with her sickness and him the 17 year old repeat offender in the juvenile lock up. Salem encourages Chris come to terms with what happened to land him there and helps him to leave on a good note, starting his famed life as a rock star on the right track to fame.

I would definitely read more from Melanie Dawn.

Unchosen - Alisa Mullen - Review

Unchosen by Alisa Mullen Review
I was excited for the book from the moment I finished the first book in the series 'Unsettled.'

Reviewed by: Maggie Wadsager
The excitement was short lived in some respects. The excerpt given to the reader for 'Unchosen' in the first book is a far different beginning than what is given to the reader in this book. The teaser actually made it hard for me to understand the characters timeline in this novel. Looking beyond the very confusing/misleading timeline, I loved the character relationships in this book! The story line itself is very enjoyable to read and I would continue to recommend this series to any person who enjoys angst novels.

Unsettled - Alisa Mullen - Review

Unsettled by Alisa Mullen Review
This book is very well written and drew me into the story immediately. Lizzie is a non-committal, carefree, caring person that more than likely will blame herself for anything that goes wrong around her. Her character spoke volumes to me and her development throughout the book just reinforced my love for her. The relationship between Teagan and Lizzie at times was difficult to not see certain 'red flags,' but the foreshadowing just had me on the edge of what was to come. I would classify this book as an Angst Book due to the roller coaster you find yourself on with Lizzie. I found this book hard to put down until I read the entire book and any reader who enjoys angst books with enjoy this story!

Cameron & Gabrielle's story continues in book 2 along with their friends stories. The mystery from book 1 is resolved along with watching their love story unfold.

The Law of Attraction by N.M. Silber Review
Cameron & Gabrielle are an entertaining pair to read about. The court room cases had me laughing. Their relationship is definitely hot & full spontaneous encounters. This book is part of a series & does end with a cliffhanger. All in all it's a good book to read.
