Title: The Childe
Author: C.A. Kunz
Publish Date: Published February 18th 2011 by C.A. Kunz

Synopsis:

Cat Colvin
Average Teenager?
Or Something Else Entirely?

Cat Colvin is pretty much your typical run-of-the-mill teenager. Sure, she’s taller than most girls, has a mane of fiery red hair that’s impossible to tame, is left-handed, and her eyes are two different colors, but that’s where the differences end . . . unless you include the minor detail of her slow transformation into a Childe.

High school can definitely be challenging, and for Cat it’s no different. This is especially true when she’s faced with the daunting task of trying to hide her budding Childe traits as they begin to reveal themselves at the most inopportune times. To make matters worse, her family is oddly dead set against Ryan, the boy she grows to like. But everyone has their secrets: is Ryan really what he seems to be, and what is Cat’s family not telling her?

The Childe is the first book in this coming-of-age fantasy series which follows Cat's life through the twists and turns toward finding out whom and what she really is. Come and take the plunge with Cat into a world filled with mystery, biting humor, and the paranormal

The childe is hunted. They are not supposed to exist.

Cat is a typical teenager who is sheltered by her parents. After convincing her parents, she finally attends public school where she tries to fit in. On her first day, she has a run in with a group that gives her a hard time, and continues to torment her. Why? She’s new, and has not caused any problems.

Cat starts experiencing strange dreams that seem weird but real, and at random times, have unexplained experiences. She begins to wonder if she is losing it. Her parents and brother Tyler are very protective of her.

Ryan, a member of Isaac’s tormenting group, is drawn to Cat. He watches her from afar until he is assigned to tutor Cat for Math. He knows he shouldn’t have feelings for Cat, but can’t seem to control them.

Cat has an amazing group of friends that are always there to support each other…Matt, Amanda and Elle.

Girls are starting to disappear, which causes panic in the community, and curfews are enforced. Not only is the community gathering to protect, but also a secret group who is trying to figure out who is responsible.

The Childe is an insanely incredible story that will grab your attention for wanting more. I love the personalities of the characters, and at times found myself laughing aloud at the real life teenage experiences. The finale will definitely keep you in suspense!  The story has mystery that will definately keep you interested and in suspense.  I admire Cat for wanting to live a normal life by not being so sheltered by her family.  And the ending....grrrr....definately a cliff hanger that will make you BEG for Dark Days!

Purpose by Kristie Cook Review

Title: Purpose
Author: Kristie Cook
Publish Date: August 7th 2011 by Ang'dora Productions, LLC Synopsis:

Lost in despair, Alexis teeters on the edge of an abyss, her lifeline of hope fraying into a thin thread. If it snaps, she’ll plunge into complete darkness. With the help of her son and her writing, she’s been able to hold on. Until now. Erratic impulses, disturbing delusions and her own demonic blood threaten her sanity. When she’s forced to choose between hanging onto hope or letting go to serve her Amadis purposes, she faces a decision with inconceivable sacrifices. Alexis runs to the one place she thinks will provide answers, only to find herself at the center of another battle of good versus evil, not only with the Daemoni, not only within herself…but also against the worst opponent imaginable. But even if she wins, what will she lose?

If you loved Promise, Purpose will rock your socks off! Alexis is so stressed because Tristan is still missing. Her son and writing her novels is the only thing keeping her sane. However, that is starting to disappear. She starts having horrible nightmares, hallucinations, and burst of energy. What could it all mean?
 
Alexis has never lost faith that Tristan is still alive, but those she loves around her, are starting to have their doubts. Alexis is afraid if she loses that hope, she might turn to her Daemoni blood that is coursing through her. The Amadis council is not helping starting to pressure her to have a daughter. How could she ever be unfaithful to Tristan?
 
Owen, her faithful protector, feels so much guilt for coming back without Tristan. However, he is always there for Alexis when she needs him. With her family in danger of the Daemoni, Alexis decides to do something drastic. Could this save all that she loves?
 
Purpose takes this story to a completely new level of action, heartfelt emotions, and loyalties. OMG, it was so incredibly good, I find myself stuck for words to describe this intense story without giving away spoilers. I laughed, I cried, oh boy, did I cry. In addition, for me as a reader, when an author can make me cry like that, that in itself tells you what an awesome writer Kristie is. I was there in the battles. I felt the emotions. And the story alone is so attention grabbing; it’s difficult to put down. Even the evil characters of the Daemoni are so interesting to learn more about. Trust me when I say you MUST read this story. It is so addicting you just cannot get enough. Which is a good this because the next installment of this series, Devotion, is soon to come out!
 
 Be Strong, and read well my friends!

Promise by Kristie Cook Review

Title: Promise
Author: Kristie Cook
Publish Date: Published July 30th 2010 by Ang'dora Productions, LLC
Synopsis:

Alexis Ames decides to learn who she really is, with or without the help of her mother, who guards their secrets closely. After meeting Tristan Knight and discovering that he's not normal either, the secrets begin to unravel. Their union brings promise to the future of mankind. But it also incites a dangerous pursuit by the enemy. Because they are a match made in Heaven and in Hell

Promise by Kristie Cook is such an insanely incredible read, it will grab your attention, heart, and soul.

Alexis has been on the move her whole life with her mother, never staying in one place long enough for her to meet true friends. She is picked on, teased throughout her life for being weird and abnormal. But what really is Normal?

After graduation, Alexis and her mother move to a new town and Alexis starts college and writing her novel. She meets Tristan, and her whole world turns upside down.
Alexis is used to putting up a barrier around herself. She has serious trust issues and is unsure about letting Tristan in. However, the more time they spend together, those barriers start to crumble. Alexis begins to learn secrets about herself and finds out that she and Tristan have more in common than she ever dreamed.

Man, it is so difficult to write a review that you absolutely want to babble on forever about WITHOUT giving out any spoilers. And Promise is one of those stories. Who exactly is Alexis? Why is her and her mother different? Trust me, this story is packed with secrets being revealed, battles, a “hawt” romance that starts slow and ends up sizzling…emotion that is completely unbelievable.

All the characters in this story have great personalities, and storyline is a non-stop attention getter. It’s a whole new paranormal topic, which had me intrigued from beginning to end. Who exactly are the Amadis? Well, trust me when I say that you NEED to read this story. You will love it, and THAT’S a Promise.
