RAVEN ~ HALFWAY HOUSE BOOK #2

BLURB!

Hello, my name is Raven, or at least that's what I have always been told. I live at the Halfway House with Eloise Mayflower, my den mother. I am a paranormal, I am seventeen years old, and, oh yeah, I am a vampire.

Whenever I ask about the family I can't remember, I am met with hushed whispers and looks of deception. Something is not right; I might be a vampire, but I am not stupid.

A sexy centaur named Samuel Mane enters my world, and my future starts looking bright and exciting. When my best friend, Sorin Osmochescu, decides that Samuel is too dangerous and forbids me to see him, I have to make a choice—the only family I have ever known or my true love.

An afternoon chat with council member Rumor Winslow leaves me terrified …

A secret past?
Hidden identities?
Lives in imminent danger?
Holy sharp fangs, Batman! Who EXACTLY am I?

MY REVIEW

I couldn't wait to get my little hands on this read.. I mean Arkadia is a 5+ star read, one of my favourites this year. So when I knew there was another book in the making of this awesome series I was beyond happy.. But move on over Arkadia because here is RAVEN!

Raven with her sassy one-liners had me cracking up, seriously laughing out loud.. Yup commence funny looks coming my way lol. Totally went through the motions with Raven as I flicked through the pages of her life and sobbed with her.

In this series we watched Raven grow out of her fears and uncover secrets.. which comes with consequences leaving us once again with an action packed read but leaving us wanting more of the Halfway House shenanigans.

Big Applause for Dzintra Sullivan for another 5+ star read!

ARKADIA ~ HALFWAY HOUSE BOOK #1

BLURB

I am Arkadia Castner. I am beautiful. I am popular. I am also the most messed-up witch you will ever meet. I can’t make water boil, or make the wind blow; I can’t even light a match without the aid of a flint. My 18th birthday is in six months, and if I don’t pass the Paranormal Safety Exams (PSEs) by then, I will be banished to the Isle of Shadows for eternity, never to be seen again – it will be as though I never existed.

I found myself at the halfway house under the supervision and guidance of Den Mother and telepathic empath, Eloise Mayflower. The halfway house is the last chance for troubled paranormal teens like me to pass our PSEs and avoid banishment. Eloise knows everything I think and feel, and is supposed to be helping me, but I still can’t do basic spells a six-year-old can do. I hate it here, but I have no choice. This is my last chance.

I had all but given up hope, when in walks Bohdan Drak. Tall, dark, and so damn sexy it hurts to look at him – even his muscles had muscles. He is a dragon shifter and wears the mark of having passed his PSEs. When our souls meet, we realize we have found our soul mates and perfect matches. My dying hope has found life again, and I finally have a reason to look forward to a future.

I thought everything would be fine, but darkness and despair creep into my future. I have been framed for a murder, and everyone believes I am guilty. The paranormal council now watches my every move. Can I trust Bohdan and true love? I fear my destiny is to be banished forever …

MY REVIEW

** spoiler alert ** Wowzers! what a fantastic read, right from the beginning I was hooked and I found it very hard to put the book down.

Very lovable characters, I absolutely loved Arkadia although at the beginning of the book she was a little materialistic but soon grew into a very strong character by understanding the error of her ways and the world around her. As for Bohdan.. Yummy! Every book needs a hero.. and Bohdan ticks all the right boxes! Hot, caring, funny, strong.. Oh and a dragon shifter! Yup he has it all. I also loved the progress of Arkadia's and the "Den mum's" relationship it was so sweet the way she had someone that she finally could look up too and go for help in her hour of need.

This is certainly a magical book to read and 5 stars does not do it justice!
