My Answers: Still the same as last week 😦  not a lot of reading time this week.  Too busy with work and editing.

 
Forbidden (The Arotas Trilogy, #1) Recently Finished:  Forbidden (Amnity Arotos #1) by Amy Miles. I found this on my kindle and when I read the first chapter I was wowed. This book is a different take on the vampire story.  Very well done.  A review is posted here:

Champion (Legend, #3)Currently Reading : Champion (Legend #3) by Marie Lu. I haven’t had the time to start it yet but will today at the latest.  Excited to read the final book in the trilogy.

Up Next?

Scent of Magic (Healer, #2) I downloaded the next in the Healer series Scent of Magic by Maria Snyder on my kindle.  Can’t wait to get into it.  I’m also keeping an eye out for something new and different.

And as always you never know what little treasure will show up and DEMAND to be read.  Happy reading everyone.

Touch of Power by Maria Snyder

Posted on June 2, 2014 | 3 comments

10445208 Touch of Power (Healer #1) by Maria Snyder. Published Dec 20, 2011 by Mira CDN $8.79 Kindle edition

Laying hands upon the injured and dying, Avry of Kazan assumes their wounds and diseases into herself. But rather than being honoured for her skills, she is hunted. Healers like Avry are accused of spreading the plague that has decimated the Territories, leaving the survivors in a state of chaos. Stressed and tired from hiding, Avry is abducted by a band of rogues who, shockingly, value her gift above the golden bounty offered for her capture. Their leader an enigmatic captor-protector with powers of his own is unequivocal in his demands: Avry must heal a plague-stricken prince, the leader of a campaign against her people. As they traverse the daunting Nine Mountains, beset by mercenaries and magical dangers, Avry must decide who is worth healing and what is worth dying for. (Goodreads Excerpt)

Well I have to say I was not disappointed in this book. I haven’t read one of Snyder’s books in a while and forgot how much I love her writing. I am always amazed at how easily you get sucked into her world. No detail is left out and you are so immersed in the story it feels real, enabling you to really empathize with the characters. It isn’t over the top or overwhelming with weird names and odd places, but it feels like it could be a real world with real people. Oh did I mention that I love everything to do with Magic? So this was a treat and a half!

I love Avry. She is so real and developed that you instantly feel compelled to know her story. She is down to earth and stubborn and feisty and everything you want from a MC. And OMG I loved watching her and Kerrick interact. They are both stubborn and opinionated and weary with life trials and tribulations, to admit to their feelings of any kind.

Overall I am thrilled with this book, the suspense, drama, action and everything in between was amazing and engaging and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book!

5 stars for me.

Teaser Tuesday (May 20)

Posted on May 20, 2014 | 9 comments

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My Teaser:

    Fear energized my tired muscles.  To bad it wouldn’t do me any good.

    “We’re trapped,” Loren said.

     “We’re dead,” Quain said.
