I had a great week!! Not only did my Husband surprise me with some books, I received some wonderful ARCs and signed books! I also went to my local Goodwill for their half price sale and found a TON of books!
I just wanted to let my readers know about a huge sale that is going on right now. You will have to check your local stores, but it is happening right now in my area.
All Goodwill stores in our area are having a Customer Appreciation Sale going on. EVERYTHING in the store is 50 percent off!!! We went to our local one this morning and the had HUGE pallets of books outside! I found the entire Charlaine Harris series (some in hardback), Carrie Vaughn’s Kitty series, the Vampire Diaries and Vampire Beach series, Need and Captivate, and many more! My basket was packed with books. I will show them in my IMM tomorrow so you can see exactly what I got. Some I already own, but I picked them up to donate to our local library and to use for giveaways because they are in new condition!
Are you curious to know how much I spent on all those books???
Ready????
That is cheaper than ONE hardback and sometimes ONE paperback!!!!
SLEEPING WITH THE LIGHTS ON
Author: Brenda Whiteside

* I received this ebook free of
charge in exchange for an honest review*
SUMMARY:
After two failed marriages and countless relationships, Sandra Holiday thinks she’s met the man to end her years of less than perfect choices; choices that not only derailed her travel-related career plans but also left her single and broke.
Carson Holiday, a Las Vegas country crooner with swoon-inducing good looks, spent his adult life pursuing a recording contract and love, never holding on to either. After eighteen years, he drops back into Sandra’s life, reigniting an attraction he can’t deny.
When Carson reappears, Sandra must choose again. Only this time, nothing’s as it seems. A secret admirer, a redheaded stalker, and an eccentric millionaire throw her on a dangerous path, with Carson her only truth. As life confronts her with yet another turning point, will her decisions find her eternally sleeping with the lights on – or will she finally discover a way to turn them off?
MY THOUGHTS:
First, I want to apologize to the author of this book. I am running WAY behind on my ebook reviews and she was very patient and kind about it. Then there was a mix up with the book in the mail, it never arrived, and she was gracious enough to send me the ebook version of it. Thank you so much for your patience Brenda!
Sandra has lost her way. She thinks she has found love again, one that she believes can last, when she is thrown into a suspenseful turn of events. She finds herself being stalked by a mysterious person and she does not know what to do or believe.
The suspense was great and kept my interest throughout the book. The romance was great and the author knows exactly how to keep you guessing and wanting to know more. When Sandra makes her choices you can’t help but pretend to be right there with her and supporting her. I loved how the author kept me guessing and not wanting to even step away to do anything until the last page was read.
A new debut book from a wonderful author who I will definitely be looking out for in the future.
MY RATING:
Very Good! I would recommend this book! 4 STARS
GHOST TOWN
Morganville Vampires #9
Author: Rachel Caine
Source: Author Submission
* I received this book free of
charge in exchange for an
honest review*
SUMMARY:
While developing a new system to maintain Morganville’s defenses, student Claire Danvers discovers a way to amplify vampire mental powers. Through this, she’s able to re-establish the field around this vampire-infested Texas college town that protects it from outsiders.
But the new upgrades have an unexpected consequence: people inside the town begin to slowly forget who they are-even the vampires. Soon, the town’s little memory problem has turned into a full-on epidemic. Now Claire needs to figure out a way to pull the plug on her experiment- before she forgets how to save Morganville…
MY THOUGHTS:
First of all, I would like to thank the author, Rachel Caine, for sending me the book for review. Everyone who talks to me on Twitter and reads my blog, knows that I am a HUGE fan of this series! So, again, thank you Rachel Caine!
If you thought Morganville was crazy and scary before, you haven’t seen anything yet! In this installment of the series, Claire and Myrnin are trying to create a new computer to control the memories and boundaries of Morganville. After working days with Myrnin, they finally get a system going. As days pass though, Claire and the rest of the gang, start to realize that something has gone wrong with it. Humans and vampires start losing chunks of their memory. Vampires start to forget about the rules–and at times, forgetting they are even a vampire–and destroying not only others, but themselves as well. Humans start to forget about the latest events in Morganville as well.
I was so excited to see Myrnin again in this book. He has to be one of my favorite characters in this series. He is so crazy, you can’t help buy laugh and sympathize for him. You will find yourself on the fence about Oliver again–is he good or bad?–and wondering if he will help Claire fix the problem, or let it destroy everything Amelie has done to protect everyone. The laugh out loud moments were brilliant as expected, and the suspense and pace was spot on perfect! True to the author’s usual with the series, she will leave you with an unexpected twist at the end that will leave you with your jaw dropping and your heart racing for the next book. You will even get to read about familiar faces that were in previous books that you thought you wouldn’t see again.
The author knows how to write a book that is similar to riding a roller coaster! One moment you are calm, the next you are gripping the pages with adrenaline and anticipation. This is one ride I have enjoyed and will definitely be cheering for more books soon!
