Reincarnated Love is anything but a retelling of a girl meets vampire story

This is one of my favorite vampire stories, it is terrifying, quirky, and well told with emotions that swing from laugh out loud funny to the fearful certainty 'she's dead this time" and back. The MC Katheryn did not win the parent lottery so she should have known something was up when hers invited her to go on vacation to meet the royal family of a small country. As expected they, had agreed to betroth her to a prince for a small fortune without her consent but she isn't interested. Trapped in a land of vampires and caught between the centuries long feud between brothers, she discovers something unexpected as she gets her revenge on her parents, evades her arranged marriage to one prince, struggles to prove the innocence of the other, and just tries to survive with the help of the ghost of her murdered predecessor. Reincarnated Revenge is the story behind the story.
This story is worth every moment spent reading and re-reading it. When it goes into print, I am putting it on my go-to shelf for books I love..

A guilty pleasure for a weekend escape read

I enjoyed the story but had moments where I wanted to smack or hug this character or that. Definitely a guilty pleasure read for those looking forward to a leisurely weekend.

Love from beyond death

Imagine walking up from death, watching the one you love grieve and being unable to tell him you're there because you are now something else... Siena's nightmare was as horrible as Asher's grief but it wasn't a nightmare, then the serial killer who took her from Asher went after him and the innocents he protected. They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, well how about a woman murdered and come back to avenge her death and track down the real culprit. A must read for mystery lovers who love the supernatutal

Must read for werewolf lovers or everyone!!!

Alice's story draws you in on the deepest heartstring, happy moments and terrifying tragedies are felt on the most visceral level. The author lures you into an emotional and vivid world that will have you addicted and waiting for updates. One chapter, one book, and you will be a fan for life because there are three in the series so far. Find Julie on Amazon too.

In the end, They deserve each other

Their marriage was struggling before Asher cheated then he had an accident. Holland fell apart, then she learned the real reason he was driving drunk. He had just left his mistress, Megan. His coma followed by selective amnesia hurt them more but mostly their daughter was constantly ending up collateral damage. Holland's old flame Christian returns so she screws him to hurt Asher. Holland repeatedly uses Chris' unrequited love like the string on a yoyo to keep him close. Finally Asher remembers after months of not knowing his wife and daughter and making minimal effort while living with Megan. He tries to get Holland back but she isn't interested in anything but hurting him. In the end, mistress Megan dies the day after giving birth in a car accident with her parents, leaving Asher with sole custody of his son. It bothered me that they assumed Megan had abandoned her son. It really bothered me the way Holland repeatedly used Chris and his love like an emotional tampon and from their back story, she always had. In the end, Asher and Holland are back together playing happy family, while this reader was left with the feeling that they deserve each other and wondering how long it will last.

It started with hello

They never should have met. Eve was from a small primitive planet and Ardaxur was a guardian. But she was kidnapped and after he was thrown in a cage with the animal from 70992, he realized there was more going on that contraband smuggling. She was a sentient. They shared a connection among the stars but there are those who want Eve for very nefarious purposes and the fate of the sentient races might depend on what a linguist from earth can do, if she survives. Ardaxur has never had a more difficult or demanding mission than Eve.
A must read for sci-fi fans.

Very realistic YA Teen Pregnancy story

A good weekend read. The realistic characters struggling and interacting create an rich world in this YA Teen Pregnancy story. It is such a relief and joy to read such an engaging take on the genre. The characters reflect conflict and consequences, they love and laugh, they worry and overreact. I really enjoyed this story more than most I have read in this genre.
Hope to see more...

A new look at wolves

If you are tired of the same of werewolf genre, this is the author for you. I love this writer's take on werewolves in all of her books and am so happy she is sharing here.
Best wished in college, sweetie. <3 from Mama

Nice for the Billionaire/Nanny genre

Sweet and short read, a quicky for the bus or tram and very usual for the Billionaire/Nanny genre. I picked it because it was in the Sci-fi / Adventure genres but it was neither soooo... A little confused as to why it was listed there instead of in the Romance or Chicklit. genres. Good luck to the writer with future stories.

Diary of an unguided life

A very interesting short read about a young life's struggle that feels IRL. The very upfront first person style is more like the reader is listening to someone give a summary of their life rather than reading a narrative. I liked it because life doesn't have a plot. The struggles were met, temptations fallen to, changes made, and despite the almost apathy of the narrator in some parts of the reciting, the reader still feels for the MC...

A temptress is made

An temptress isn't born, she is made. Sculpted from innocence and neglect into a selfish monster, too broken to truly understand her carefully cultured evil. Normal is just a word for ugly people. A serial killer of the hearts of men until she met her match and now she has to pay Karma it's due. But is she worth saving, can she be reformed? Can she learn the true meaning of love when she has nothing left?

Not just a queen, an ALPHA FEMALE

Victoria was punished for her birth and her mother's death but her fate will change the were-world!

Nothing is more important than love

Duty
Work
Honor
What's a spy to do when his investigation into a new and deadly drug results in a marriage to a sweet but innocent school teacher? Easy,kick butt, take names, and love her with everything he is down to the last drop of his blood if necessary to protect her. A binge read MUST!

Beauty and the beast wishes it were this good

A beauty caught between a beast and a darker malevolence, add the twist of impossible fate and this becomes a must to binge read.

Tears and heart

Poetry is the vibration of the heart and it's moods put into words for us to share. Just beautiful!

The chase is on

When your sister is taken, your parents killed, and you are exiled the same week, you find a way to fight back. And Talia did, now she is the Alpha killer and on the run from the Council, the FBI and her mate. Can she get her revenge note the get her. Loving this thrill ride of a story.

There's no mistaking how humorous this super sexy comedy of errors

Serena has a odd life, even for a witch. Born with the potential to be one of the most powerful fire witches in history, magic is a practice him mishaps especially with her uncooperative familiar, whom she just calls Cat (or A$$ depending on the number of her shoes and bras he's ruined that day.). Just when she thinks things with her pot dealing granny, uptight Coven leader mother, and glitter witch, dragoriding bestie can't get any weirder, she finds a beautiful naked man in her kitchen. Her Cat has been keeping secrets from her. HE informs her, She is his witch and will love him, all of him, and not marry that human.
Witches, goblins, and love-sick familiars, oh my. And then there's CAT, my oh my!

They say it's the journey...

They say it is the journey that it important, but behind every journey is a heart that beats. Mahila's journey from orphan girl with a broken heart to strong woman with a determined will and sacred gift to be reckoned with was not an easy one. It was as much searching for her mother's people as it is running from the constant beating her heart takes. Taking the first step of a journey is never easy, and realizing you haven't reached last step means giving up the place that felt like home. Some paths are harder than others, and the path to healing one's heart is the rockiest of all.

I think this is one of my favorite stories. The world Layla create is richer and as real as any I've read. Her characters are intricate, living, flawed, and striving. To love them, to hate them, to feel their regret and hope makes this a wonderful narrative without equal.

Rose is a thriller

Rose was always prepared, whether it was her job as an FBI profiler chasing the most violent of criminals or as the mother of a feisty teenager. What she wasn't prepared for was being rescued from certain death by hot Marine sniper Gunny, finding out he was a were-panther, and his unexpected claims that they were mates while working on the hardest case of her life. With peace after the Were-war hanging by a thread and military-trained serial killer randomly shooting werewolves, Scrabble tiles aren't the only puzzle Rose has to figure out in this brave new world. This crime mystery set in the Shifter world takes one on a journey from the desert southwest to the halls of Washington D.C., allies and enemies aren't always who they seem, but are they domestic terrorist or patriots protecting the human race from predators of mythical origins.

A curse shared

TIberius isn't your usual cursed prince charming, he's a lycan and a rogue, and where he goes Death follows. Crystal has always been sickly, struggling with very human heath issues no other wolf faces, and as result, she is just tired... tired of being sick... tired of struggling... tired of living. It is a twisted fate they find one night on the edge of a muddy creek, and Tiberius discovers that his curse has harmed his Mate. Can he save them or will they both be lost? How can she heal him when she feels she is helpless and all is hopeless?

This is a heart-wrenching, tangled tale of two mates and a curse. An emotional roller-coaster of suffering and hope in the face of danger and betrayal. A must read is you are looking for not-your-usual werewolf mates story.

When offered a second chance at the life that was her birthright, will she be willing to give up her revenge, or is there no fury like a woman betrayed?

Alpha's Breeder

This is a very different take on a Werewolf mates story. I enjoyed it when I first found it on Wattpad almost two years ago, and I enjoyed reading it again. on Inkitt. Emi's reaction to being "trapped" in the werewolf world is interesting. I really enjoy it and recommend it for those who are looking for "Not Your Usual" werewolf mates story.

Must read before Halloween

I am NOT a fan of horror genre but I do love a good ghost story. This one had me engrossed in the beginning, annoyed with Lyn and excited for Mark. Sadly, they did not find the warning signs soon enough and I think I shall have nightmares about leeches. Overall I enjoy this short story.

Loved it on WP,

What's a newly turned wolf to do? Definitely not give up his day job as a police officer. But when his stripper mate and drug addict sister are under the thumb of a demonic drug-dealing Vampire simply called the Dragon, he is given a choice, Fall in line or Fight...

Super hot scenes mixed with drama and tears and laugh till you cry moments. It's a great weekend read and definitely not your usual werewolf story.
