Tranquilty by Anya Bast
Tranquility by Anya Bast
I picked up this short story while it was free on Amazon awhile back.
I love paranormal stories and this is a fun werewolf story about alpha males, packleaders, emotions and love.
The main female character is stuck between family and love. The other main character is a loner werewolf who comes into the pack hoping to be left alone but his alpha type personality attracts the attention of the packs leader. The packleader sends his sister over to watch over the outcast and she falls for him.
I enjoyed this short story and recommend you pick it up.

Gossip Ghouls: Zombie & Lipstick by Z
Gossip Ghouls: Zombie & Lipstick by Z
A fun book, I'm not certain where I picked it up. It's on my kindle and seemed interesting so I decided to read it today while I had some free time.
It's kind of a mix between Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries and Paris Hilton's life.
The book is a quick read the only downfall is if you don't know all the designer names because they are dropped like candy constantly throughout the book.
There is so much cattiness, betrayal, backstabbing, vindictiveness throughout the book you are never sure who is on who's side.
The love story is between two zombies. The main character Z (who is also tagged as the writer of the book) is the main protagonist of the story and the supposed svior of the undead.
All the characters are high school students. So the only thing I had a small problem with was the slight unbelievabilty. I don't live in a billionaires world so I guess I can believe the other half really has that kind of crazy power and corruption.
The author has a giant imagination and each chapter is so thought out and so much energy. She reaally thinks a lot about high school students with unlimited funds would exact revenge against each other.
It's a fun teen paranormal read. Pick it up for a weekend and then maybe have a Gossip Girl marathon with friends.

Bewitching the Werewolf by Caroline Hanson
Bewitching the Werewolf by Caroline Hanson
This is a really quick short story I picked up for free off of Amazon a few days ago. It looked cute. It's about a wiccan (now suspend belief if you practice because if you practice she's more superpower then practicing religion type) who is hired to help an alpha werewolf find his mate before the pack dissolves.
The story is funny and well written. The characters are formed entertainingly and are so different from each other and given such personalities.
It's a short story and even includes a excerpt of her new book. So pick it up.

Review of Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann
Last night I picked up Cryer's Cross by Lisa McMann because it was something I grabbed to read when my boyfriend reads at night when Im at his place. I have finished 75% of it and will finish the rest of it tonight..
Synopsis:
The small town of Cryer’s Cross is rocked by tragedy when an unassuming freshman disappears without a trace. Kendall Fletcher wasn’t that friendly with the missing girl, but the angst wreaks havoc on her OCD-addled brain.
When a second student goes missing—someone close to Kendall’s heart—the community is in an uproar. Caught in a downward spiral of fear and anxiety, Kendall’s not sure she can hold it together. When she starts hearing the voices of the missing, calling out to her and pleading for help, she fears she’s losing her grip on reality. But when she finds messages scratched in a desk at school—messages that could only be from the missing student who used to sit there—Kendall decides that crazy or not, she’d never forgive herself if she didn’t act on her suspicions.
Something’s not right in Cryer’s Cross—and Kendall’s about to find out just how far the townspeople will go to keep their secrets buried. (from the inside cover)
My Review:
I liked the characters, the main character at times was believable and interesting to read. Her interactions with other characters helped build her background and gave life to other characters. I enjoyed the character development between Kendall and Jacian and the way they learn a lot from each other. I like the description of the town and the towns people like its a real tiny town.
The last 50 pages of the book is where the story finally takes a turn for what you've been waiting for. It wraps up nice and quickly.
I enjoyed reading the book it was a quick read and had a nice story and a little bit of a twist and paranormal to it to make you interested.
3.5/5 I'd say in this kittens opinion. :)

Every Other Day by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
I got a copy of this book through Netgalley so I'm gonna start reading it today. :)
Finished reading this while waiting for a friend to get off work. I really enjoyed the story line.. it was slightly new and inventive.. which made me enjoy the plot.
The main character is quite interesting in that she's half demon/half human but not in the traditional sense. She transforms in cycles from human to paranormal. I really enjoyed that about the book, it was something I hadn't read before.
The story is of Kali who helps out a girl who is infected with a chupacabra (in this story are memory/blood sucking creatures that end up killing off its host) by convincing it to take her on as a host instead. When she does they find out that the chupacabra has a tracking device and a Research Facility was trying to do some test runs with this specimen and now is after the girls.
There is a colorful cast of characters from a cheerleader, to a psychic and tons of supernatural characters. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Kali and the psychic. It was like a real high school friendship except older for there time since they both.. had the weight of the world on there shoulders.
I really enjoyed reading this book and would recommend picking it up.

Dying Memories by David Zeltzerman
I won a contest last month where I could choose any two books from a certain publisher, and I choose this book cause it looked interesting. I will say though not paranormal, it was enjoyable and a fun fast paced read.
The story is a thriller about a journalist who happens across a story much bigger then himself and the world around him. It's face paced and twisted as you follow along with his trying to out a company with more spooks and people working for them then he can keep up with.
I loved the characters conviction and the fact that everyone around him is believing he is slowly falling into madness. I love watching it from both sides cause you know the character is on the right path, yet you are only half sure because the book constantly puts doubt in your head. I enjoyed the ride.
The book is full of action, suspense, twists and turns and lots of fun spy paranoia.
Definitely pick this book up. It's a fun read if you like this sorta thing :)
