Wanting a new supernatural modern day read with a hint of time travel and history slathered with the romantic language of the italians ?

The Hourglass Door (The Hourglass Door Trilogy) (Hourglass Door (Quality))

Review: The Hourglass Door - The Hourglass Door Trilogy Book #1 - Lisa Mangum - May 2010

When I first started reading this book , I was in two minds and thought , not another fallen angel/ vampire novel as thats not what I was in the mood for -though in saying that , it's not that I don't enjoy reading them but sometimes you just have to be in the mood. The Hourglass Door turned out to be an amazing read and I definitely was hooked to finish it to the very last page and it was also one of those novels that even in the last few chapters , you didn't actually know how the novel was going to turn out and then there were bits and pieces , that the author could have played on and turned it a whole different direction.  The Hourglass Door features the life of Abigail Beatrice Edmund aka Abby or as some of her friends call her ABE - Due to her initials. Abby is sick of her life as it has always been planned out for her and she wants it to change , starting with her birthday party as they have been doing the same thing since she was four. When Abby meets newcomer Italian Dante, it seems that the sparks fly between the two of them , however there is a much deeper depth and more than meets the eye to Dante as he reveals his true age to Abby, he's not a vampire , however is similar in sorts. Pushed into the future, can Abby help save Dante and her friends or will he be returned back to his time and Abby and Dante torn forever with time seperating them for eternity ?
Find out in "The Hourglass Door" by Lisa Mangum and stay tuned readers as I review Book #2 "The Golden Spiral".

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
