Blurb

From USA Today bestselling author Jillian Dodd comes the last book in the addictive Keatyn Chronicles series. Discover a breathless fairy-tale romance with swoon-worthy characters set in a glittering celebrity world. Fans of reality TV will devour this pulse-pounding, sexy Hollywood drama.

Follow the lives and loves of those who work at Captive Films:

Riley Johnson — Captive Films’ CEO and millionaire playboy is hot, privileged, and seriously single. He’s got it all—a brand new jet, exotic cars, a luxury penthouse, and a different aspiring actress (or two) in his bed every night. His life is perfect until the only girl he ever loved walks back into it, causing him to wonder if he truly has it all.

Keatyn Douglas — Hollywood’s sweetheart and owner of Captive Films leads a chaotic, glamorous life. But running a successful film studio, writing scripts, and her own acting career leave little time for the things she dreams of, like marrying the man she loves and having babies. When drama starts at work, she may decide to give it all up for life out of the fast lane.

Dawson Johnson — The dark and dreamy marketing consultant joins Captive to escape his past. For the last two years, his sole focus has been on caring for his adorable daughters after tragedy struck their lives. He comes to Captive looking for a fresh start and, if all goes well, he might find a lot more than that in Hollywood.

Knox Daniels — Considered the sexiest man alive by a certain magazine, the sentiment is echoed by the actor’s adoring fans. While romance abounds in the roles he plays, he’s convinced he’ll never find his own happily ever after—until he meets a woman who just might change that.

Shelby Benson — The beautiful cocktail waitress and wanna-be actress struggles to make ends meet. A chance encounter with Riley Johnson is her lucky break and the golden ticket to everything she’s ever dreamed of—fame, power, money, sex, and love.

Written soap-opera style with multiple points of view, you can expect lots of drama, sex, and tabloid-worthy events.

A Million Worlds with You by Claudia Gray

A Million Worlds with You by Claudia Gray

Goodreads Blurb: A million universes. A million dangers. One destiny.

The fate of the multiverse rests in Marguerite Caine’s hands. Marguerite has been at the center of a cross-dimensional feud since she first traveled to another universe using her parents’ invention, the Firebird. Only now has she learned the true plans of the evil Triad Corporation—and that those plans could spell doom for dozens or hundreds of universes, each facing total annihilation.

Paul Markov has always been at Marguerite’s side, but Triad’s last attack has left him a changed man—angry and shadowed by tragedy. He struggles to overcome the damage done to him, but despite Marguerite’s efforts to help, Paul may never be the same again.

So it’s up to Marguerite alone to stop the destruction of the multiverse. Billions of lives are at stake. The risks have never been higher. And Triad has unleashed its ultimate weapon: another dimension’s Marguerite—wicked, psychologically twisted, and always one step ahead.

In the conclusion to Claudia Gray’s Firebird trilogy, fate and family will be questioned, loves will be won and lost, and the multiverse will be forever changed. It’s a battle of the Marguerites…and only one can win.

My thoughts: The ending of the Firebird trilogy is my favorite of the series. I loved being able to go into some worlds and still discover news one. There are two major surprises that I was not prepared for but I think Claudia wrote them well and it definitely caught my attention. I read this book a couple of months ago and I can’t remember the exact ending of this book but it is still my favorite in the series because of the middle.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Interview with a Rockstar!

Hi everyone. Since today is Thanksgiving, I wanted to give back to all of the readers out there who are a fan. Books are my passion and I am so fortunate that I have the opertunity to turn this passion into a career. Never give up on want you went. With that said let me introduce the Rockstar that I will be interviewing.  He is a drummer and in this little band called Blush. Can you guess who it is?  That's right  it is Trace Styx!

Leah: Thank you for taking time out of you day for this interview.
Trace: The pleasure is all mine
*Such a flirt*
Leah:Out of all the instruments, what led you to like drums the best? If you could pick any other
instrument to play what would it be?  

Trace: When I was little, I was always banging on pots and pans with wooden spoons. My mom thought           it helped me get out my aggression or anger, so she got me my first drum set. The rest is history, as they say.  Other instrument… well, I can play the piano/keyboards. I guess I'd like to learn to play the sax or get better with the guitar.

L: What is your favorite and worst celebrity that you have meet? 

T: Lzzy Hale from Halestorm. She is hella crazy and so much fun. Her brother too.

L: If you were not a musician, what would you be?

T: Hell, I don't know. All I've ever wanted to be was a musician. Underground fighter maybe.

L: Out of all the girls in the world, what made Meggie stand out to you?

T: Her personality. She doesn't hide what she's feeling and she doesn't pretend to be someone she's 

not. I love that she's so real. On top of that she's smokin' hot.

L: What is your favorite thing about Meggie? 

T: Her bounce when she's happy. It's like she just can't keep that much happiness contained in her tiny body. It's cute.

L: Is Meggie the one?

T:  Yeah, she is.

L: The fans what to know the answer to this so don’t kill me. I know that you were in a band before but if they asked you to come back would you? 

T: No. Without question, no. They screwed up so big when they let drugs take over and edge out the music. I don't want to be around anyone like that and I know Blush will never go in that direction.

L: What is your favorite part about working in Blush?

T: Everyone participates when writing songs—both the lyrics and the music. We didn't do that in my last band.

L: What is your favorite thing to do in you down time?

T:  Bang Meggie. Trace chuckles. She's going to hit me for that. We go hiking, to the beach. We're usually pretty active. I guess I should have just said spending time with Meggie.

L: What is it like living in Casa Falling Down? 

T: Meggie and I have our own place. We're the only ones other than Sera and Cage. I don't think I could live there 24/7. Way too much chaos and I like my privacy.

L: What is the worst part about being a musician? 

T: The tour buses. They can be luxurious and top of the line, but they're cramped and you have zero privacy. After a show, everyone's sweaty and fighting for the shower. So, yeah. The bus.

L: How do you handle the pressure of being a musician?

T:  I just go with it. I've never really given it any thought. I just go out there to play music. Yeah, we get those crazy fans who come up to you in the middle of a tattoo or haircut and ask for an autograph, but I'd have done the same thing when I was a kid if I'd seen a musician I liked.

L: What was your first tat? Where and when?

T: My first tat was this one here on my right upper arm of the skulls. I was 17 when I got that one.

L: Were you as shocked as the girls were when you found out that Xander was married?

T: Not really. I knew there was something going on with the guy that no one else knew or talked about. Now it's a matter of finding out just what the hell happened there. I'm sure it's going to be something big.

L: Thank you again for coming today and Happy Thanksgiving.

T: Thank you for having me and you too.

That was intense but very informative as well. I am excited that I got to interview Trace. If you want me to do a follow up with Trace or an interview with other Rockstar characters let me know in the comments. If you missed the other interviews that I did the link for them will be below. Have a good Thanksgiving.

Our Dark Duet (Monsters of Verity #2) by V.E. Schwab

Our Dark Duet (Monsters of Verity #2) by V.E. Schwab

Goodreads Blurb: THE WORLD IS BREAKING. AND SO ARE THEY.

KATE HARKER isn't afraid of monsters. She hunts them. And she's good at it.

AUGUST FLYNN once yearned to be human. He has a part to play. And he will play it, no matter the cost.

THE WAR HAS BEGUN.

THE MONSTERS ARE WINNING.

Kate will have to return to Verity. August will have to let her back in. And a new monster is waiting—one that feeds on chaos and brings out its victims' inner demons.

Which will be harder to conquer: the monsters they face, or the monsters within?

My Thoughts: After the cliff hanger from the first book I had to get my hands on this one. The story starts off months after book 1 and the main characters Kate and August are in completely different places than I thought they would be.  Kate is battling her inner monsters and fighting monster in the city. August is working more hand-in-hand with Flynn’s group. The biggest shocked of the book is the ending. I did not see it coming and I haven’t figured about it, right now I’m 50/50.

Rough and Rugged (notorious devils mc 3) by Hayley Fairman

\

Blurb:

Hattie Morris is a young girl with silly dreams and a fantasy she's been holding onto since she was sixteen years old.

"Dirty" Johnny Williams is a hard man who rides as a Notorious Devil, known for being filthy between the sheets, yet always wishing for the unattainable more.

One night, one kiss sets fate in motion, and neither Hattie, nor Johnny, can deny that their lives have been forever changed. Time and distance stand between them, but a chance encounter shatters their ability to resist each other any longer.

It's not long before Hattie realizes that fantasies are named thus for a reason, while Johnny learns that the innocence of a sweet girl is no match against his hardened heart.

Yet, inexperienced as she may be, Hattie knows one thing for sure. If she doesn't take a chance with this rough and rugged man, she'll never know if dreams really can come true.

*Recommended for readers 18+ due to Language, Sexual Content, and Violence. (less)

My thoughts:

Out of this series this was the dirties. you can see the passion that the two main characters have. when the author was writing about Dirty in the other books, I thought that he was going to be the typical biker guy. that was not the case at all. He is caring, very devoted, and drop dead beautiful. we also get so learn more about the mystery person that is causing all of the problem with for the clubs. i really want to know who is causing all of the problems for this club. i can not wait to read the next one.

Beau Rivage Series: Tear You Apart by Sarah Cross

Goodreads Blurb for Tear You Apart:

If you want to live happily ever after, first you have to stay alive. Viv knows there's no escaping her fairy-tale curse. One day her beautiful stepmother will feed her a poison apple or convince her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Henley, to hunt her down and cut out her heart before she breaks his. In the city of Beau Rivage, some princesses are destined to be prey.

But then Viv receives an invitation to the exclusive club where the Twelve Dancing Princesses twirl away their nights. There she meets Jasper, an underworld prince who seems to have everything—but what he really wants is her. He vows to save her from her dark fate if she'll join him and be his queen.

All Viv has to do is tear herself away from the huntsman boy who still holds her heart. Then she might live to see if happily ever after is a promise the prince can keep. But is life as an underworld queen worth sacrificing the true love that might kill her?

My thoughts: What I like about this book is that it is not a continuation of Kill Me Softly. The story takes place in the same town but with different characters who know of each other but don’t play a major role in each other’s story. This story will keep you guessing until the end on who is who and what will happen next. I believe there is to be a third book but there was an unfortunate issue with the original publishers and Sarah Cross’s new publisher have yet to give her the green light for book 3.

Deadly Little Sins (Prep School Confidential #3) by Kara Taylor

                

               

Blurb:

In Kara Taylor's Deadly Little Sins, Anne Dowling investigates a mysterious disappearance in this fast-paced, twisty conclusion to the Prep School Confidential series.

It’s August and Anne is back in New York City for the summer, but she can’t escape the memories of the terrible things that happened at the Wheatley School last spring— and the possibility of being expelled looming over her. When an unexpected— and suspicious— turn of events gets Anne sent back to Wheatley, she’s determined to figure out what happened to her favorite teacher and only adult ally at the school: Ms. Cross.

After a shocking, gruesome murder with connections to the Wheatley School occurs, Anne is convinced there’s more to Ms. Cross’s sudden disappearance, and that her favorite teacher is in danger. But after an ugly breakup with Brent and a new, inexplicable distance between her and Anthony, Anne isn’t sure who she can trust. And even worse, someone at Wheatley knows the truth about what happened to Ms. Cross— someone who will stop at nothing to keep Anne from learning the truth in this engrossing, unputdownable read.

My thoughts:

This book was a great ending to the series. This book was fast moving and full of twists.  I love who she ends up with in the end. You will not be able to put this book down. I can not wait to see what other books Kara Taylor will write.
