Accidentally In Love With...A God? by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff My rating: 4 of 5 stars I received this from NetGalley. If you enjoy fun, witty, paranormal romance that is full of action, than Accidentally In Love With...A God? is the book for you. Emma Keane has been plagued by this incessant voice in her head since she can remember. Even though she is strangely attracted to the sexy, disembodied male voice that she has named Guy, Emma is ready for a normal life. Guy has told her that she has to travel to Mexico to free him. Has she lost her mind to even consider doing this? Will Guy's body be as sexy as his voice? What dangers will be waiting for Emma in the jungles of Mexico? Emma is a clever, determined woman who is willing to fight for what she believes. She, at times, has understandably questioned her own sanity which made reading this hilarious. I really enjoyed the banter between Emma and Guy. I look forward to continuing this series. View all my reviews

She finds herself stranded on earth as a ghost, where the food has no taste, the alcohol doesn’t get you drunk, and the sex...well, let’s just say “don’t bother.” To make matters worse, the only person who can see her—courtesy of a book he found in his school library—is a fourteen-year-old boy genius obsessed with the afterlife. Unfortunately, what waits in the Great Beyond isn’t much better.

The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski My rating: 3 of 5 stars After a couple of really tragic years, Camryn just needs to get away from it all. With only the necessities, she gets on a bus to nowhere. She has no plan, no destination. All she really knows is she wants something more. Andrew is on the way to see his dad in the hospital, probably for the last time. Like Camryn, Andrew has no real direction. He just wants to live life to the fullest, because he knows all too well it is too short. Feeling like kindred spirits, the two head off on a journey of self-discovery, laughs, friendship, and heartbreak. What I liked: I liked Camryn and Andrew's relationship. There was a slow build, which is a nice change from the falling in love in a day we often get. They were also a lot of fun together. There were many "fun" times between them. I love the idea of being able to take off and do what you want with no cares in the world. I love the idea of kindred spirit...

Edge of Dawn by Lara Adrian My rating: 4 of 5 stars I have to admit I was a little reluctant to read this after I realized it time jumped 20 years. Though I love the Midnight Breed series, and I love the kids (Kellan, Mira, and Nathan) from the series, I was afraid we would lose too much in the transition from one generation to the next. However, I am happy to report that this book was as wonderful as the first ones. The time jump did take a few chapters to get used to. As I was reading I was picturing the 'kids' as kids; it took me a little while to get it through my head that they are now grown up. Edge of Dawn is Kellan and Mira's story. We saw where they came from and watched them find their little piece of the world as children. This book definitely did them justice. I love Mira. She grew up in the world of the Order surrounded by boys trying to become men, and she held her own. She demanded their love and respect, and she never backed down from somethi...
