Lone March, #1

by Erin Irvin

Fifteen-year-old March Howe is going through some bizarre bodily changes - the last thing she needs when most people at school already think she's a freak. Little does she know that those changes are leading her into a supernatural world of strange mysteries and terrible danger. March is a werewolf - but not just a were-wolf. She's the last known female of the species, and that makes her a rare commodity.

Just when the guy of her dreams asks her out, a pack of werewolves invade her house to take her back to their den, where she must be heralded through her first change or risk certain death. Along the way, she meets the dark and handsome Greyson, her only peer in the pack, and is caught up in the dark intrigue surrounding her new "family" and the strange truth behind her existence. Will she fit in this new, magical world better than she does at school? Will she even survive her first change? Or will the power that's growing inside her destroy her and the entire werewolf bloodline?

In Book One of the Lone March Series, March Howe must choose between mundane and magical, the familiar and the unknown, freedom and responsibility. Will she decide her fate before the last of the werewolves decide it for her?

Lone March, #2

by Erin Irvin

"I looked up into the looming, baleful faces of eight were-ravens. They stood around me, hunched over, with watchful, probing eyes. I tried to scream, but I was too weak to make noise."

Her name is March Greeley Howe. And she’s a were-wolf. After escaping her captor’s den, and being rescued by an unlikely ally, March finds out what’s been happening in Glenbrook since she’s been gone. Life will never be the same since Elliot’s take-over, and the last she-wolf in the world has some tough decisions to make.

In the midst of being forced to master her Lupine form, she is thrown back into her old life, with all the fear and uncertainty that went with it. Besides being torn between Ethyn and Greyson, March fails to make sense of her hesitation in trusting Avery. With both home and school upside-down, she tries to find solace in her friends, but soon learns she stands apart, and the divide only grows with each day of her double life.

In Book Two of the Lone March Series, March Howe meets some new faces and sees old ones in new ways. She grows up fast when she has to make decisions no one else can, and embarks on a mission that will redefine her place in the pack. Will she balance her were and human lives before the last of the were-wolves throw everything into chaos?

I found this book was a little hard to get into at 1^st, but it was worth it to keep reading. The book itself was funny, well-paced, and awesome. It brought out a lot of emotions. Some were a strong urge to talk to the characters. I did how ever found the warriors a little too… frilly. They derived comfort from thing I perceived to be feminine. Even though the Evil witch may have her heart felt reason for placing a certain curse, You can’t help but feel complete sympathy for Trinity. And yet to think of how she kept the men as sex slaves, tortured and made every male worthy of a woman. I found the plot to be very intertwined when it came to the problems, which in my mind mad it very interesting.

Over all I am a little 50/50 on the whole is it a great read or is it not? It was a teetering balance. On one hand, anyone who reads this book will find that they are in for a wild ride. You will defiantly find this funny, cleverly plotted, fast paced, and lets not forget the steamy guys. Now on the not so great side, it felt like the author tried a little too hard and a little too over the top in other areas. It can leave you with un answered questions. Mainly the how’s. Of course this could all be cleared up in the nest book, but who wants to wait?

My Rating: 3 Stars!

Lust (The Sins and The Virtues #1)
by Charlotte Featherstone
Paperback, 368 pages

This book was hot and steamy! Intriguing from the start and well written. The beginning plot is nicely delivered. By page 20 you'll be completely consumed in what is unfolding. I especially liked the few Irish/Scottish dialect thrown in. the description of the book and series itself is quite fascinating. Two faery courts, the Seelie and Unseelie. questions the goodness inside of the Seelie. readers will soon find themselves questioning whether the Seelie is truly the bad guy and the Unseelie, the good. it's not your typical Paranormal Romance and may not be everyone's cup of tea. The book is primarily concerned with desires, internal struggles, and inner-character. One can expect a lot of description and mental-musing. The thrills and chills typically derived from high-octane action stories simply isn't here for the most part. It doesn't provide a lot of sex in this book but shares quite a lot sensuality. There was one sexual scene that contained a action & a climax and it was great. the whole concept of the Seven Sins and Seven Virtues...Amazing, to say the very least. The bad and the good fey. The pure ones and the tainted ones. Caught in the middle are the virtues and good and bad fey are doing everything in order to get them. What we end up with is a cast of interesting characters running in and out of each other's lives with dangerous plot twist, secrets and agendas. But overall a great read, this is a new author to me and I am looking forward to Rinion’s, Vanity, novel next in the series.

My Rating: 3 Stars!
