~~~~~Kj's Review~~~~~
 I liked this trilogy, it was really good, and I truly enjoyed it. Yes there is a but…I didn’t love the ending…I feel like something is missing. Maybe it is just the pain of the trilogy ending and everything wrapped up. I did get involved in the story all along, although I really admit I wanted Sam with Erik, always did. Funny how these things play out isn’t it.
 Anyway, I enjoyed reading these books and the people in it seem like members of my family, I recommend this series to anyone. I am not writing a little blurb of my own here, please get the books and enjoy them, it’s a fascinating story of sci fi proportions. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

** SYNOPSIS **
Breena Taljain’s idyllic days in Araboth came to a skidding halt when circumstances forced her into the dangerous hinterlands. The dire sacrifice she made to protect her comrades tainted her heart with hatred and despair. To cleanse herself she must outrun Death’s relentless pursuit and venture into the bleak unknown. With the odds stacked against her, stumbling into love when she least expects it may very well be her saving grace.
Meanwhile, succumbing to the Patriarch’s devious traps has Galbrecht Atalir questioning his motives. The folly of his recklessness has left him physical scarred and mentally traumatized. Now he must overcome more adversity as the wrath of the Sin Ministry bears down upon him. He will need more than wits and quick fists to find the truth he has sought for seven years.
Alas, every second Breena is apart from Galbrecht draws her further into strife. With her world rapidly crumbling inwards, she puts everything on the line for a last stand against the ruthless force that threatens to destroy all she holds dear….

**EXCERPT**
Breena frowned at the same time Helel averted his gaze in shame. Never mind the question of how she knew all this. What was her point? “I don’t see how—”
“Of course you don’t,” she spat. “The world went on. Nothing you did or didn’t do mattered. What transpires today is no different. What is the purpose of it all? What matters to you one moment is meaningless the next. Nothing you do affects the greater scheme of things. You are merely a hiccup in the pulse of the world.” She turned from Breena and craned her neck backwards. “This is the truth, Breena. You will live and die. Others will rise after you and they, too, will live and die. Nobody will remember you. Nobody will remember them. Do you understand now? Nothing matters.”
“Then why are you—”
“This isn’t about me,” she rebutted. “You are just another flower in the field, Breena. You sprout from a seed and bloom into something special. The world adores you as you blossom. It takes advantage of your sweet aroma and praises your beauty until you wither away. What good are you then? You’ve become nothing. Soon you die cold, wilted, and alone. The world tramples on your remains, yes, but it does not mourn you. No…another seed will take your place and carry on as you had until it shares the same fate. Eventually the field will turn so barren that nothing else will grow. Then it will serve another purpose. The endless cycle of no true beginnings or endings will continue.
“Life goes on with or without you. Your existence will have no impact on the grand scheme of things. A single tree won’t make a rainforest any more than trouncing me would rid this plane of black emotions. Years, decades, even centuries from now, I will be born again and so the sequence will endure. Forever we shall dance this depressive, endless waltz.” She glared at Breena again. “I will change things, though. I intend to stop the cycles of rebirth. None will suffer as I have then.”
“That’s wrong. We live to make our own experiences. Joy and sorrow, love and hatred, pain and pleasure…it’s all part of the blessing! Who are you to put a price on it?” Breena pressed her hands against her hips. “Your flawed logic sickens me. You’re insane!”

~~~~~Kj's Review~~~~~
 Again, Jake Bonsignore has written an epic novel, the duality in the book absolutely amazes me. Breena and her cast of followers are amazingly easy to picture as you read about them, the surroundings described so well you can close your eyes and see it all. Breena without a doubt has grown so much more, she's a wonder even to herself. Then you have the doctor Galbrecht Atalir fighting for his life and seemingly his sanity in the depths of a hell he needs to beat for everything he has ever cared for and loved.
 The depth and breadth of the writing is absolutely astounding, a must read for sure. That's all I am going to say because trying to describe this book defies me...all I know is that it's beautifully written and by a master of words. Mr. Bonsignore, I salute you and look forward to reading much more of your work. Thank you for allowing me to review your book. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

~~~~~Kj's Review~~~~~
 Olivia, oh my word, she gets into more hot water than most. She has been taken and along with Aiden, who she realizes wasn’t in control of himself at the dance, he was being used by the Crimson Calamitous. Scott is wild, he cannot find his love and nothing is going well. Olivia finds a new power and escapes captivity, taking Aiden with them, to a safe place while they try and figure everything out. Soon, it seems that Olivia may have feelings for Aiden, Aiden may have feelings for Olivia and Sadie. Sadie may have feelings for Aiden….and Olivia stands to die!! Poor Aiden has been taken again and released with a warning. What will they do to work through it all?
 Again, I love the way Felicia Tatum writes, I love going from one point of view to the other. This series, I love it, it’s an angle I haven’t seen in a book before so it’s all new and fun. Kudos to Felicia for writing such an awesome tale for us to read!! I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Cover Reveal~~September Ends


Title: September Ends

Author: Hunter S. Jones 

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Day: October 1st, 2013

Reveal Host: Lady Amber's Tours

Blurb:
Overweight and dull. That’s how I felt.

My grandfather and brother died. I hid inside a black cave deep in my soul, numbed for a decade on meds, booze, and bad love, married to my glorious career.

My name is Liz Snow, from Atlanta, Georgia, and this is my story.

One hot summer I fell hopelessly in love with successful attorney, Peter William Hendrix III, from Chattanooga, Tennessee. We bonded because of Shelley and Keats. Pete introduced me to the works of modern English poet, Jack O. Savage, It was like The Poet was drawing us together through his blogs and poems, like he had a message for my life and my love with Pete Hendrix. 
I lived it in my heart and soul.

It all went tragically wrong once I learned Pete’s secret.

As September ends I jet to London, England with an unstable mind and a broken heart. Pete Hendrix betrayed me big time. There was no time for revenge. My life was a kaleidoscope of stabbing shards of pain.

London ignored me. Maybe I didn't exist. I was lost and lonely in a flat in Kensington. 
I hear that Jack O. Savage will make a rare public appearance. I wrangle an invitation to the art gallery where he is reading. I was curious. Somehow, he was the cause of my trouble. 
The rock-star-with-words was even more damaged than I.

Jack O.Savage, The Poet became my friend.
Then, an unexpected kiss at a county fair on a perfect English summer's day changed everything forever. Jack the man became my lover. 
Magic.
My elusive dream of a lifelong love began.
If Pete was what I'd always wanted, Jack was what I always needed.
The mystery unraveled as the kaleidoscope of my broken life evolved and I found myself living a rainbow of perfect bliss.

Sometimes when you believe it’s the end, it’s only the beginning.

September Ends is a contemporary romance with erotic and supernatural elements bound together by poetry. It reveals the intricate web of passion and desire which entangles Liz Snow, Pete Hendrix and Jack O. Savage. The story is told through Liz Snow’s diary, Jack O. Savage’s poetry, and from letters sent across the Atlantic. Traveling throughout the lushness of a summertime in Tennessee and Georgia, September Ends journeys into the elegance of London’s West End and is finally settled in the countryside of Cornwall, England, a decade later.

September Ends is a story of sin, redemption and salvation through love
because love happens when we least expect it.

Meet The Author

HUNTER S. JONE -Novelist. Exile on Peachtree Street.
Lover of all the finer things in life.
The art form I create when writing is much more interesting than anything you will ever know or learn about me. However, since you ask, I have lived in Tennessee and Georgia my entire life, except for one “lost summer” spent in Los Angeles. I was always a complex kid. My first published stories were for a local underground rock publication in Nashville. I have published articles on music, fashion, art, travel and history. 
Currently, I have a music/entertainment blog @ExPatsPost.com. My debut novella, Fables of the Reconstruction,  was published in 2012. 
Edgar Allan Poe and Anne Rice have always fascinated me, although like any Southern girl, I will always idolize Margaret Mitchell for writing Gone With The Wind. I also adore the works of John Grisham, and own a huge selection of his books. I live in Atlanta, Georgia with my husband, my books, too many clothes, too many shoes and way too many stacks of notepads and journals. 
September 2013 will see the launch of my first novel, a contemporary romance, written in collaboration with English author and poet, R.J. Askew.

~~~~~Kj's Review~~~~~
From the moment the young English lord caught the young girl falling from the tree I was hooked, I knew there was so much more to discover. That the young girl would remember the young man and want to come back and find him some day was sweet beyond words. I am very much taken with this book, I find it to be so many things all at once: a mystery, a romance, steampunk, fantasy, sci fi, delightfully woven into a tale that spellbinds as one reads it. The sheer tenacity of the people in this book boggles the mind, I thought I was stubborn but they take the cake….whether it is getting your man, keeping the people you love safe, not believing that you are Fae….it’s so real.
  I highly recommend this book to everyone, it’s a wonderful tale, very enjoyable to read. I have been hesitant of steampunk I give kudos to the authors for creating a world so fascinating that I crave more of it, the sooner the better. Thank you for allowing me to enter your book world to review, it was a pleasure!! I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Meet the Authors


I'm a stay-at-home mom of three of the CRAZIEST boys ever. And I love them to bits. I'm also a wife to a wonderful man I met when I was 17. He went to a different High School than I did but we both worked at McDonald's. It was before texting and cell phones so we'd write notes at school and exchange them at work. We'd also talk to each other over the drive-thru headsets. Then he told me he had a picture he had drawn for art class long before he knew me that his cousin pointed out looked just like me. The picture went missing when we got married and moved into our first home together. This was kind of the inspiration for The Earth Painter.

I have a degree in Journalism and Marketing which I have never used because I've been home with my boys. Then one day my man sent me to the local book store for a day to myself. I picked up Twilight by Stephenie Meyer and my life changed. I remembered being 17. I remembered falling in love. But most of all I remembered ME. I'd become "Mommy" and forgotten all about Melissa, the girl who dreamed of being a writer, but suddenly I remembered and the writing started. And It hasn't stopped.
