Abby Wade has a dangerous secret.
Two months ago, she disobeyed an order, but instead of kicking her out of the Pride, Jace offered her a job. Since then, she’s been battling a completely inappropriate crush on the young, hot Alpha. But when accepting his job offer seems like the only way to keep her skeletons safely in their closet, Abby doesn’t hesitate.

Jace Hammond has a big problem.
A rogue is slaughtering humans in his territory, and he must eliminate the threat before the entire shifter species is exposed. There could not be a worse time for Abby to accept a job he only offered as a boost to her confidence. Abby is smart, beautiful, and resilient—more than enough to distract any man from the mission. Unfortunately, she may just be the worst enforcer ever to hold the title.

As they hunt the killer, Abby’s secret becomes a threat to Jace’s authority and to her own life. But the real danger is the grip she has on his twice-shy heart.

Rachel Vincent has done it again! Lion's Share is an edge of your seat, shocking, gripping, thrilling, sexy-as-hell paranormal romance both Shifters fans and new readers will love.

Abby and Jace's story brought everything I loved about the Shifters series to the table but with even more steam--and a killer murder mystery (pun intended) to boot. The chemistry between the two werecats is tangible and addictive. Abby was just the right mix of defiant and tripping over her own feet to make me like her from the get-go, and Jace....oh Jace. I will always have him ranked as one of my favourite male protagonists. He's sexy, charming, dedicated, strong and everything an alpha male should be.

As these two followed the bread crumbs in a series of "wild animal" killings and stumbled over their forbidden feelings for each other, I got caught up completely in their world until I was smiling from ear to ear as I read the final line.

If you haven't read Rachel's other books you are seriously missing out, and her newest book is no exception.

A Girl Named Grace Review and Giveaway!

Title: A Girl Named Grace

Author: Janna Lafrance
Genre: Fiction, Inspirational
Page Count: 317 Pages
Published: October 2012 by Safehouse Media
Rating: 5/5

When Grace’s perfectly constructed life is shattered by unthinkable tragedy, she is forced to revisit her past and the secret world she had convinced herself was a fairy tale—a world where angels appear on rooftops and the Jewish man named Jesus meets with her and leads her on a path to healing and intimacy with her Creator.

At first, Grace thinks she is experiencing hallucinations or possible episodes of psychosis brought on my the trauma of recent events, however as time progresses, she starts to realize that these beings she is encountering are more real than she could possibly imagine. As the mysteries of the supernatural realm begin to unfold around her, she gains the courage to journey into dark memories that she had spent nearly a lifetime trying to forget, and is finally able to embrace hope for a future she had never thought possible.

My Review:

Grace reached the lowest of lows. She was kicked while she was down and found herself utterly hopeless--but it was in that place that she found Him.

A Girl Named Grace is a beautiful love story, but not in the conventional sense. It's about a broken girl coming to life again as she comes to know the uncompromising and unsurpassing love of the One who saved her.

Grace is a real and relatable character that comes to life on the page. When the "God-man" comes into her life he is portrayed in such a real and true way that I could feel His words as I read them.

I loved the style and voice of Janna's writing. I was drawn into Grace's story from the very beginning, and felt her pain and triumphs right along with her. There were moments that my heart squeezed in my chest, and moments when tears fell of their own accord, but I was left with a happy heart and a greater understanding of God's love.

Favourite Quotes:

"..the puzzle of her carefully pieced together life was growing weary of holding itself together..." Pg 1

"She found it difficult to tear her eyes away, even though her insides drew back like fingers from a flame." Pg 3

"Her entire life had been built over a fault line , and today, as the past and future collided with catastrophic force, the earth opened up and Grace began to fall." Pg 30

"The raw emotion that came from somewhere in the deep, dark cavern of her soul rose like lava, burning its way through her chest and throat. She couldn't contain it and didn't want to. Not here. Not when stifling it meant its fire would only continue to scorch her heart and any ability she had left to love and be loved."  Pg 87

"In spite of and in defiance to the natural inclination to survive and protect oneself, love is a force that is released the moment an individual chooses the well-being of another before himself." Pg 117

My Rating: 5/5

With All My Soul - 5/5

Title: With All My Soul
Author: Rachel Vincent
Series: Soul Screamers #7
Genre: YA, Fantasy
Page Count: 384 Pages
Published: March 26th, 2013 by Harlequin Teen
Rating: 5/5

What does it mean when your school is voted the most dangerous

It's time to kick some hellion butt...

After not really surviving her junior year (after all, she did die), Kaylee Cavanaugh has vowed to take back her school from the hellions causing all the trouble. She's going to the find a way to turn the incarnations of Avarice, Envy and Vanity and the rest on each other. And so she–and her gang–make plans to protect her friends and finish this war, once and forever.

But then she meets Wrath. And Kaylee realizes that she's closer to the edge than she's ever been. Especially when one more person she loves is taken...

My Review:

I am reviewing right after putting the book down. I feel like my heart is too big for my chest.

Picking up right after Before I Wake left off, this final Soul Screamers book takes you on a whirlwind journey as Kaylee tries to gain vengeance against the hellion of greed.

I didn't know what to expect from the book focused on wrath, but I have to say that angry Kaylee is my favourite so far. The fierceness of her righteous anger gave her a backbone of steel that made her a force to be reckoned with.

The frustration that came with their hopeless fight against impossible odds kept me glued to the page, wondering how on earth (or the Netherworld) were they going to defeat the immortal forces that opposed them.

As with other Rachel Vincent books, I didn't see the twists coming, and I was an emotional wreck and a giddy fool throughout the span of this book.

I feel like I'm not ready to let go of this world, but I am happy with how things were left.

Well done Mrs. Vincent, well done.

Fav. Quotes (minus the spoilery ones):

"You expect me to believe that if someone threw a pie in your face at a funeral you wouldn't lick your lips?" Sabine - pg 12

"Oh, that will never be enough for me, little fury." Ira - pg 158

"We owe the world something. We owe the world everything." Kaylee - pg 220

"This is the most frighteningly beautiful mouth I have ever seen." Tod - pg 314

"The pain begins, and within seconds it consumes me." Kaylee - pg 341
