Fallen Crest High (book 1 of Fallen Crest High) by Tijan

Mason and Logan Kade are two brothers who did their own thing. They were rich and expected to attend her school, Fallen Crest Academy. They chose public school and now Samantha has to live with them. The problem is that she doesn't care at all: about them, about her friends, about her cheating boyfriend, or even about her parent's divorce. But maybe that's a good thing. Maybe change is a good thing.

I'm going to try my hardest not to rant to hard but I'm so frustrated with this book. I asked myself so many times "why why why why why" about a million times. Im just going to list off the things that annoyed me (: (beware spoilers)

Soul of Flame (book 4 of Imdalind) by Rebecca Ethington

The Time for the final battle has come.

Edmund's armies have surrounded the Rioseco Abbey, trapping the few survivors inside. The sight that Ilyan was given a thousand years ago is about to come to pass.

If only Joclyn was able to fight.

Joclyn is tormented by the hallucinations that Cail’s mind has left her with, her magic an uncontrollable torrent that even Ilyan cannot control. Her moments of lucidity are broken by fears of dripping pipes and bleeding walls, and a desire to kill Ryland that she is having trouble trying to ignore.

The sight has shown her power, shown her success, but it has also shown her death – The end of her life something she is not quite willing to give up on yet.

Even past her death, the sight has shown her love, and that love may be the only key to her sanity, to her strength, and to Edmund's death.

That love may stand in her way, and a single choice may tip the scales and secure their future, or destroy their fate.

Just finished the fourth book a little bit ago and I'm not sure what exactly to say. I love this series. I feel like I reiterate myself every two seconds when I'm writing about the books in this series but it's so great. There's never a dull moment in this series.

Scorched Treachery (book 3 of Imdalind) by Rebecca Ethington

While Joclyn is trapped in the tormenting hell of Cail’s mind, the battle around her only continues to grow and spread.
*
Edmund has infiltrated the underground hallways of Prague, guiding the massacre that would end the lives of the last of the great magical race. In her attempts to stop him, Wynifred has been captured and her magic restrained. Chained up in the ancient dungeons of Prague, her fate is left in the hands of her father, who has tried to kill her before. 
With Ryland’s screams and Sain’s fragmented sights as her only company, Wyn must rely on something that has been hidden deep inside of her for centuries to help them break free.
*
Ilyan’s whole life has been building up to one purpose. Protect the Silnỳ. He knows what he must do, and he has no doubt in his ability to do so. 
But when his father’s magic removes Joclyn’s mind from her body, he is left protecting the shell of the one person he loves. Desperate to find a way to break her free of her prison, he makes a choice. And that one choice changes everything.
Now, Ilyan finds himself bound to Joclyn in a way that he never knew to be possible. 
They say that blood is thicker than water, but Black Water burns, and Ilyan’s heart may not be strong enough to keep it pumping through his veins and give the girl he loves back into his brother’s care.
Even if he can, it may not be safe to do so.

The Silnỳ.

The Dire Wolves Chronicles by Alyssa Rose Ivy

Summary of Dire (Book 1)

Gage was the first guy I ever wanted. He was my first crush and my first fantasy, but he wasn't my first in any other way because he never saw me as anything more than a friend— at least not until the night that changed everything.

It was all Gage's fault. He insisted we drive through the storm and take the back roads. By the time the storm hit full force we had no chance. One night of snowbound sex changed our relationship forever. The problem was at the same time I caught another guy’s attention. This other guy happened to be the alpha of a pack of shifter wolves. I thought the wolves were the worst of my problems, but I was wrong. When things went from bad to worse I had to make a lifelong sacrifice to save Gage, but what price is too much to save the one you love?

+Decided only to put the first book's summary to not spoil anything in the rest of the series+

The Empire Chronicles books 1-3 by Alyssa Rose Ivy

AHHHHHH! I'm so excited that I found this author! I'm currently obsessed. I'm so happy I'm reading her books right now because it's an amazing start to my winter break. So far I have only read these three books in this series and I believe theres 5 books total in this specific series. What I didn't know was that even though there's different series they're all pretty much connected and use the same people. This series or at least the first three books in this series that I have read focuses on Casey, Toby and Jared. LET ME TELL YA ALYSSA ROSE IVY LOVES HER LOVE TRIANGLES! Since I hate reading book summaries past the first sentence I had no idea what I was getting myself into other than the fact that this book had something to do with paranormal creatures. That's all I knew so when I was reading this series I had no idea who Casey was going to choose and it's so annoying because you're rooting for both of the guys and you feel just as conflicted as Casey throughout the story!

There was a lot going on in this story and I liked that it wasn't predictable, there was always a twist and a turn and you never knew what exactly was going to happen and it was super exciting!

PLEASE NOTE: Even though this is a series in its own I highly suggest you read Allie and Levi's story first. I didn't realize that even though the series are separate and have their own plot it really does go in order. I wish I would've read about Allie and Levi's story first because there's definite spoilers in this series about the couple that I wish I didn't know about just yet. I'm going to continue the two final books in this series but I have yet to get the last two books which I hear isn't focused on Casey anymore but on someone else, who I will not mention because that will just spoil it for you.

I love series like this when they have so many supernatural creatures because it's just so exciting! I seriously just want to read every single book in every single series that Alyssa Rose Ivy has published. I'm so glad I found a new author to be obsessed with (:

Love,
Liv

Kiss of the Night (Dark-Hunter #4) by Sherrilyn Kenyon

What do you get when you have an immortal Viking warrior no one can remember five minutes after he leaves their presence, and a demon on the run for her life who is being pursued by one seriously pissed-off demigod?

That would be my life.

It started out simple enough. One night I went to save a woman in trouble. The next thing I knew, the doorway to hell had opened and out stepped Daimons- soul-sucking vampires the likes of which I’d never seen before. Led by the son of Apollo, they are out to end the curse that has banished them all to darkness. The only problem with that is they have to kill Cassandra Peters to do it and if she dies, so dies the sun, the earth and all who dwell here. Life’s just a bowl full of cherries, ain’t it?

Brought together by fate, it’s now my job to protect a daughter of the very race I have been hunting for centuries. Neither of us dares to trust the other. But if we don’t find a way to overcome our differences and to bridge thousands of years of animosity, we won’t die alone. We’ll take the entire world with us.

Dance With The Devil (Dark-Hunter #3) by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Dark-Hunter: A soulless guardian who stands between mankind and those who would see mankind destroyed. Yeah, right. The only part of that Code of Honor I got was eternity and solitude. 

Insanity: A condition many say I suffer from after being alone for so long. But I don't suffer from my insanity-I enjoy every minute of it. 

Trust: I can't trust anyone...not even myself. The only thing I trust in is my ability to do the wrong thing in any situation and to hurt anyone who gets in my way.

Truth: I endured a lifetime as a Roman slave, and 900 years as an exiled Dark-Hunter. Now I'm tired of enduring. I want the truth about what happened the night I was exiled-I have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Astrid (Greek, meaning star): An exceptional woman who can see straight to the truth. Brave and strong, she is a point of light in the darkness. She touches me and I tremble. She smiles and my cold heart shatters.

Zarek: They say even the most damned man can be forgiven. I never believed that until the night Astrid opened her door to me and made this feral beast want to be human again. Made me want to love and be loved. But how can an ex-slave whose soul is owned by a Greek goddess ever dream of touching, let alone holding, a fiery star?

Night Embrace (Dark Hunters #2) by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Camulus cursed Talon, decreeing death for everyone he loved. Now a Dark-Hunter in modern-day New Orleans, Talon meets Sunshine, who is key to ending his curse once and for all. Not to mention helping him to save New Orleans from an ancient god bent on total destruction.

Existence (Existence Trilogy #1) by Abbi Glines

Existence is the first book in Abbi Glines' Existence Trilogy. I usually copy the Goodreads summary and paste it on here so readers get a sense of what I'm about to be rambling about but the summary Goodreads put on their site pisses me off! It exploited the whole story! No need to actually read the book when the summary basically tells you what the whole story is about!!!
