New YA Read

Becoming Charlie by Kristie Haigwood is out! Happy Release Day! Here's a little more about the book and the series, directly from Kristie. Honestly, I'm really looking forward to this book/series! 

I hope I didn't lose you at YA, because Charlie's story is anything but ordinary. First, I'm going to tell you my plan, and then I'll let you have a sneak peek into Charlie's world. Today is release day, and the reviews from the ARCs I sent out are rolling in, so if you don't believe me, go check them out for yourself.

The Plan:

Charlie will have two books as a teenager, and so will Sean. Same story, different POVs.

Becoming Charlie - Part One

Becoming Charlie - Part Two

Becoming Sean - Part One

Becoming Sean - Part Two

The end of both of the second parts will have alternate endings. See, this series is good for all ages, well, above 13 anyway. The first ending at the end of part two will end completely for the younger audience with a HEA, while the other will end on a pretty big cliffhanger. Now, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that you will read both endings. And that's completely fine. You're going to need that closure to get you through until I get the ADULT book written. Yes, Charlie and Sean are 15 and 17 in part one. They are 16 and 18 in part two. They will be 25 and 27 in book 3. One book will wrap up their adult book, and yes, it will be titled...

Becoming Us.

Here's the prologue. If you decide to purchase the book and love it, please return and leave an honest review. And tell your friends. Word of mouth is the best advertisement.

Prologue

Mental pain is a real thing.

In most cases, when mental pain is triggered, the brain sends signals to the heart, causing it to contract so fiercely that it pulls the tendons and nerves—the heartstrings—that support the most important muscle in the human body. Sometimes these tendons snap, causing an intense, physical reaction. Most of the time, this type of pain stays in the chest area, settling in around the heart, making the individual who is experiencing it hyperventilate or feel extreme discomfort. Instances that might cause this to happen are getting your heart broken, losing a friend, loved one or pet, witnessing or hearing about something horrible or even reading a good ugly-cry book.

There is another type of mental pain that is so much worse. The type of mental pain I'm referring to is so severe and traumatic that, almost immediately after the mind registers what happened, it starts to shut down as a defense, and in some cases blacks out and causes the person to forget what took place, a condition also known as amnesia. Numbness and/or bouts of anger usually occur when this happens. Some triggers for this type of mental pain are losing a child, accidentally killing someone, being a victim of rape or PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), to name just a few.

I suffer from the second one. Or maybe I should say that I used to suffer from the second one. The day Sean Reese walked into my life was the day I started to heal and live again. My name is Charlie Mason. If you have a little while, I'd like to tell you my story.

Review for Good Side of Sin by K.S. Haigwood

Good Side of Sin by K.S. Haigwood

Blurb:

Josselyn has just spent the last three months in intense Line of Defense training so she could join Malcolm’s search party. Little did she know the archangels had no intention of letting her bring back into Heaven an angel who had opened a portal between Heaven and Hell, at least not before saving God's creations from the tight grasp of Lucifer first.

Three months have passed since the angel Rhyan released nine repented demons from Hell, and now innocent people are dying, but their souls are not going to Heaven. Josselyn's mission is to find the demon responsible for stealing the souls and bring it to justice before Lucifer gains enough power to rise and claim Heaven and earth as his own. 

Her whole world is shaken when she discovers what tool Lucifer is using to track down the one key to the release of his eternal damnation. Thoros is one half-souled immortal she prayed she would never see again. The ex-Prince of Lust had stolen her heart and crushed it with a cheeky smile. Now, not only is she being forced to put her damaged ego aside and face the only man that has ever hurt her, but she has to work with him in order to complete her assignment.

Is she strong enough to keep from falling in love with him again? Or is their love the only thing that can keep Lucifer from getting the one thing he wants most?

Review:

After reading Hell's Gift I thought this one is going to be my favorite in this series that was till I finished Good Side of Sin! Now this one is my new favorite in the series.
It follows Josselyn as she sets out on an seemingly impossible mission to save Heaven and Earth from Lucifer's tricks, and boy does he have some up his sleeve!

I'll be honest, in the beginning it is sort of a drag and you will wonder where this is headed, but keep going it gets so good! Good Side of Sin was an amazing read. With twists that you never saw coming and some gasp worthy moments.
As always I loved the writing style and the characters were great. I loved this new world created by the author Limbo. All of her book worlds are so different from the last and yet somehow it comes together.

Overall an amazing, adventurous, action packed and with a bit of "Aww" moments in there, Good Side of Sin has been an amazing read!

PS: I loved that some of our favorite characters showed up here! Not telling who, its for me to know and for you to find out! ;)

Review for Hell's Gift by K.S. Haigwood

Hell's Gift by K.S. Haigwood

Blurb:

Depression consumes the guardian angel, Rhyan, after his human charge chooses her soulmate over him. Filled with anger and despair, he lashes out. And when his hate-filled words land him neck-deep in Hell, he realizes he's gone too far. He expects trouble, but not to discover his own soulmate in the fiery depths. Abigail is there with good reason, but she's done her time, and in order to save them both, Rhyan must strike a deal with the Devil. The stakes are higher than ever before, with his soul, his friends and even the fate of Heaven and Earth in jeopardy. If he fails, Rhyan stands to lose more than he ever feared. Will true love be denied? It will take everything he's got to break down the traps Lucifer puts in his way. New lines are drawn and old scores are settled, and Rhyan is in for the fight of his life. With Abigail as the prize, and humanity in the balance, he will stop at nothing to claim...Hell's Gift

Review:

Hell's Gift was so not what I expected it to be! It picks up after Save My Soul. Though it can be read as a stand alone, I feel reading the first book provides a certain depth and connection with the other characters.

As you can guess from the title, this books events take place in hell's realm. Rhyan has been cast out from heaven so that he can meet his soulmate and hopefully get out of his depression. Will he be able to save more than just his soul? I'm not gonna tell you, but you will be in for a hell of a surprise!

In the start I'll admit the story gets a little confusing with the jump in POVs (sort of reminded me of Dan Brown's novels where he keeps jumping to different POVs) but believe me once you get into the book it all comes together in a nice adventurous package!

To be honest, Rhyan's character was not one of my favorites in the first book but this one just might have convinced me that he's okay ;)  I loved, loved, loved the story. It's got humor, action, adventure, and sarcasm. What more could I want? I also found the description of all the different sydes of Hell to be very intriguing. That's one thing you can expect from this author's books, all of them have a very different take on  the world she portrays in her books.

As always I loved the writing style, but it was really difficult for me to read a certain character's lines (I hate it when I can't get the pronunciations right, pet peeve!)

Amazing, amazing, amazing - that's all I can say! Another brilliant book by K.S. Haigwood!

Review of Save My Soul by K.S. Haigwood

Save My Soul by K.S. Haigwood

Blurb:

Kendra Larkin had everything going in the right direction. Her life was seemingly perfect, and she wouldn't have changed a thing about it. Unfortunately, the course of her life was about to be forever altered. A tragic rappelling accident lands her on Dr. Adam Chamberlain's operating table.

She agrees to a deal proposed by a guardian angel to help save the soul of the man who is both her doctor and soulmate. If she is successful, she gets to keep her life. However, she later learns that it isn't just her life that's in jeopardy, but her soul as well.
Even with the help of her handsome guardian angel, Rhyan, it seems there is no happy ending in sight. Torn between her newly discovered love of Rhyan, and the undeniable attraction she has for Adam, Kendra finds herself at a crossroad. With Adam's steadfast rejection of God, and his guardian demon conspiring against her, she fears her soul may already be lost.
Will she find a way to overcome the evil her life is suddenly burdened with? Or will Adam's guardian demon win both their souls and make Kendra his own personal puppet in Hell?

Review:

All it takes is a week. Within a week Kendra has already died more times than any normal person should and survived, has seen miracles and has found her soulmate. But will she be able to keep him?
Follow Kendra and find out how she struggles to restore faith in a man who has long lost it and tries to save both their souls.
(That sounded more like a back cover description. :P But I didn't want to give anything away!)

Save My Soul was an amazing read. It was sweet and refreshing. The concept and the story line was very different from what I've read so far.
The concept of a Guardian Angel and a Guardian Demon was really interesting. I loved how all the characters are so well thought out. This is one of those books that has you hooked from the get go. So be prepared to not move for a while. ;)

There was a bit of abruptness I found in a few places but apart from that it is beautifully written and flows effortlessly.

Another amazing read from K.S. Haigwood!
