Life's a Witch by Brittany Geragotelis

I have really enjoyed following this book's progress on Wattpad.  I stumbled upon this book one day while browsing and anxiously awaited each chapter as it was posted. I feel like Hadley is part of my family now.  I watched her grow from the beginning of the story to the wonderful ending and loved every minute.  I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves witchcraft and a strong feminine lead character.

This book can be found on Wattpad: http://www.wattpad.com/881984-life%27s-a-witch  or if you want to hold an actual book in your hand, it is also on sale at amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Lifes-Witch-Brittany-Geragotelis/dp/1467941298/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323352650&sr=8-1

I feel like it's important to support authors who are doing it on their own as well as those who have the backing of huge publishing houses.  Read this wonderful book and tell me what you think in the comments.

Medium Dead by Chris Dolley

I received this book through www.librarything.com and it's early reviewer's program.  I really didn't know what to expect when I received this ebook.  I started the book yesterday and finished it in one day.  It was very engaging.  The characters were interesting and the story was fast-paced.  There were parts that were thrilling, especially the beginning. The off the wall antics of Brian help lighten the story.  I enjoyed traveling along with Brenda and Brian, especially the dinner with the parents scene.  I wish that it had been a little longer because I'm dying to know what happens next. The ending is a bit of a cliffhanger.  Yes, they solved the immediate issue with the criminal at hand but who were those other people and what do they want?  I really do think that this book is a great one.  The author really knows how to make people laugh at the sheer craziness of the book.

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness

I actually listened to this book a while ago and I fell in love with it. It was so entrancing that some days I sat in my car just listening long after I shut the car off. I loved the story line and the characters. I liked the depth of the book and how everything fit together so perfectly. I couldn't believe it was over when it ended. I was so sad because I felt like I'd grown so close to Diana and Matthew. I highly recommend reading this book because it is definitely one of my favorites. 

Dead over Heels by Mary Janice Davidson

I really liked these short stories. There are three in this books that all fall between the main books in their respective series. There is one featuring the Vampire Queen Betsy and the oh so delectable Sinclair, one with mermaids from the Fred series and one with werewolves from the Wyndham werewolves. I really enjoyed this book as light reading. The stories kept me interested from start to finish and I think anyone who reads the main stories would enjoy this book as well.

White Dawn by Susan Edwards

I'd forgotten just how much I like romance novels. This book brought all that back.  This is the first of Susan Edwards' White  series and it is wonderful. These books are being re-released and I can't wait to read them all.  The story begins with a young being abandoned in the New Frontier and rescued by a wonderful man.  After a heavenly time, he must leave her and she is saved again by a trapper named John.  They both come from pasts that a less than perfect and together they find the love they are both so desperately, albeit unknowingly, seeking.  This is a beautiful love story and I enjoyed it so very much.

Three Shorts by Matthew Iden

I received these stories through early reviewers.  I have to say that even those these a relatively short stories, they really pack a punch. I must say that I normally read this type of genre. I like mysteries and drama and those types of things.  These stories may be short but you get the full impact from reading them.  There are 3, of course and each is very different.  There are very different subjects also, from the mob to poltergeists to mailmen and thieves. It was a very interesting book.  I look forward to more from this author.
