The Blurb: There are two sides to every story–and the sizzling British alpha vampire, Bones, has a lot to say…

Ever wondered what Bones was thinking and feeling when he and half-vampire Cat Crawfield first met? Or how their story might differ if he were the one telling it? Now, relive the beginning of Cat and Bones' bestselling love story through Bones' point of view, which reveals a darker, sexier take on their early days, as well as a deeper dive into Bones' past, the vampire world, and other things that Cat didn't see when their story was told only through her eyes in Halfway to the Grave.

Cat had her say. Now, it's Bones' turn.

My Review

5 Worth the wait Stars

I absolutely love Bones and Cat!! They are one of my all time favorite couples ever. I have reread their books so many times I have lost count. When it comes to this couple and this paranormal world I will never get enough. Reading The Other Half of the Grave was like coming home. I enjoyed every single word of this book. I loved getting to see things from Bones perspective. It made me fall more in love with him and I didn't think that was possible. Seeing Cat through Bones eyes added depth to her and that is saying something since I know I have reread the series at least 7 times. I didn't put this book down and read it straight through now I wish I could have more. As soon as the book ended I thought "I wonder what Bones' perspective is in other books like the Annette- Cat fight, chapter 32(if you know you know!) and the kidnap and torture of Cat from Max, and the whole Gregor thing. I've seen post from Jeaniene Frost saying she will be writing more Vlad books, and I can't wait to read them. Vlad is another one of my all time favorites, but I really REALLY hope Mrs Frost writes more books from Bones pov. I would read anything with Bones and Cat in it. Getting to live in their world again made me so happy. Now that I am finished with this book it has me craving more so I think I will have to reread One Foot in the Grave to pick up were this book leaves off. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves Bones and Cat and all who love Paranormal Romance, and I hope and pray there will be more Bones pov books in the future.

The Blurb: Bearded, bad-boy barber Knox prefers to live his life the way he takes his coffee: Alone. Unless you count his basset hound, Waylon. Knox doesn’t tolerate drama, even when it comes in the form of a stranded runaway bride.

Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding. She was riding to the rescue of her estranged twin to Knockemout, Virginia, a rough-around-the-edges town where disputes are settled the old-fashioned way…with fists and beer. Usually in that order.

Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasn’t changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected. The niece Naomi didn’t know she had. Now she’s stuck in town with no car, no job, no plan, and no home with an 11-year-old going on thirty to take care of.

There’s a reason Knox doesn’t do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. But since Naomi’s life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is help her out of her jam. And just as soon as she stops getting into new trouble he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.

At least, that’s the plan until the trouble turns to real danger.

My Review

5 Everything I wanted Stars

 OMG I loved this damn book so much. This was my first Lucy Score book and I'm obsessed. I was totally hooked from the first few pages and I every time I had to sit the book down to do things like cook for my kids, take a shower or go to bed I thought about this book the whole time. I couldn't wait to get back to it and see what happened next. I was so engrossed in Naomi and Knox's life that I've been having a book hangover for the last two days. I haven't read any WOW books in a while( you know the books that are so good they stick with you forever) This book was definitely a WOW book for me. I loved every single thing about this book and I wouldn't change anything.

Knox was so hot. I fell madly in love with the grumpy, tattooed, sexy, giving, and protective Knox. He could do no wrong in my book. Even when he was being a Jerk and there were a few times he was showing his ass I still understood him, empathized with him, and loved him. Naomi was just as amazing. No matter what life threw at her she just kept going. Making the best of her life. She was smart, sweet, strong, and she had such a big heart it was hard not to love her and hope she got everything she dreamed of. Waylay was so cute. I loved that little girl like she was a real person. I felt her pain, and her fear to love and trust. I loved how well she handled all the bad stuff in her young life and I loved her potty mouth lol.

Knox and Naomi were so good together. I felt their love, their passion through the pages of this book. Their connection felt real. The book really took it's time deeply developing their relationship. The timing was perfect not too fast and not too slow. It was easy to see Knox and Naomi were made for each other. I loved them as a couple. Not only did I love the main couple I loved the secondary characters as well. They were all so well written and interesting that I couldn't help but love them too. Nash, Lucy, Sloane, Liza, Stef, Fi, and Lina were all great and I am hoping they all got their own books. Nash and Lina had some sparks. So did Lucy and Sloane. I loved that Lina (who was Knox's ex) wasn't catty or mean. She didn't try to come between Naomi and Knox she was just friendly to Naomi, and all around a cool person. The town was great and helpful. This book had it all. It was sweet, sexy, heart warming, and funny. I loved the ending and the bonus epilogue was so cute. Lucy Score now has a new fangirl and I have to go see what other books of hers I need to buy!

The Blurb: First comes danger . . .

When Vampire-Demon Sam Kyllwood discovers he’s the keeper of some mysterious circle, he laughs it off. When he finds out that his younger brother is supposed to fight to the death in said circle, he snaps right to furious. And that’s before he starts uncontrollably making things explode —it turns out it’s never too late to develop deadly new immortal abilities. But even those explosions are nothing compared to what happens when he tries to handle a very suspicious, brilliant and beyond sexy human female whose piercing eyes ignite a heat that rages deliciously outside even his unbreakable control…

Then comes desire . . .

Honor McDovall is one of the best interrogators Homeland Security has ever had. But no matter how well she appears to fit in, her mystical gifts are slowly driving her mad. She doesn't understand them, she doesn't want them, but for now, she'll use them to detect and defeat danger until she completely loses her mind. Unfortunately, her job brings her face to face with the deadliest man she's ever met—and she senses Sam is even more gifted than she is. Yet once they kiss, she realizes he's also more dangerous than the enemies suddenly coming from every direction. Good thing they both like to play with fire . . .

My Review

5 Being the Keeper Stars

 OMG I have a book hangover. I finished this book two days ago and have not been able to get it out of my mind at all. Immortal's Honor was Sam Kyllwood's book. I loved Sam so much and couldn't wait for his story. I feel like Sam always took a backseat to his brothers, Zane, the demon King, and Logan a member of the Seven. It was nice to see him shine and get to know him better. Time is really starting to speed up in this book. 14 books in and I can't get enough of this world. I can't believe that Hope is 18. I love seeing her , Pax and Drake growing up. And with each book the series plot getting more exciting. I have no Idea where Rebecca Zanetti is taking me with this series, but I'm all in.

Sam was sexy, in control, protective, and badass which is typical for Rebecca's heroes, but Sam like all the others was uniquely different and special in his own way. Sam wanted to fix everything for everyone and was under a ton of pressure. Sam became the Keeper of the place were the seven and Ulric will have their final battle. He became said Keeper to help protect his niece Hope. Honor McDovall was a psychologist that helped Homeland security with interrogations. I loved that even though Honor was smart and caring she was also brave, never gave up and kicked ass. She didn't wait for a man to save her she fought with everything she had. Honor and Sam were very cute together. Honor was one lucky girl because Sam was so yummy.

This book really had me guessing. I didn't see the mini show down with Sam and Ulric coming and I was shocked about General Jaydon's evil plan. I'm surprised that Drake didn't kill him. I loved that we got some Talen and Dage time in this book. There was a cute surprise cameo from our favorite drunk dog from another one of Rebecca's awesome series. Because Sam and Garrett are both members of Bear's MC both Bear and Nessa are in this book a lot. Bear and Nessa were so cute and the sweet little news we readers get in this book about them just melted my heart. I also really love Flynn he is so sweet and protective. I really hope Flynn gets a book maybe a novella after Garrett's book. Hope , Pax, and Drake I am so up in the air when it comes to this love Triangle. With Hope's mom and dad I always wanted them together but with Hope at times I want her with Drake then I want her with Pax. The truth is they both keep things from Hope and that bothers me. Also I can't tell if Drake is evil yet or just believes the lies he was told his whole life. I will say I lean a tiny bit more towards Drake. I would love to see the shit that mating would cause. Not to mention it's really hot when Bad guys reform for the love of their life. Also call me crazy but I kinda want Drake and Hope to bring peace to the two nations. Garrett, Garrett, Garrett the man is a hot mess but God I love him. I can't wait for his book. I have wanted it since he was born in book 3. That little sneak peak at the end for Garrett's book has me super excited.
