Runes

Ednah Walters
Publication date: May 20th 2013
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance

Seventeen-year-old Raine Cooper has enough on her plate dealing with her father’s disappearance, her mother’s erratic behavior and the possibility of her boyfriend relocating. The last thing she needs is Torin St. James—a mysterious new neighbor with a wicked smile and uncanny way of reading her.

Raine is drawn to Torin’s dark sexiness against her better judgment, until he saves her life with weird marks and she realizes he is different. But by healing her, Torin changes something inside Raine. Now she can’t stop thinking about him. Half the time, she’s not sure whether to fall into his arms or run.

Scared, she sets out to find out what Torin is. But the closer she gets to the truth the more she uncovers something sinister about Torin. What Torin is goes back to an ancient mythology and Raine is somehow part of it. Not only is she and her friends in danger, she must choose a side, but the wrong choice will cost Raine her life.

Review

 For the first time in a long time I find myself crushing madly on a teen hero in a YA book. This hasn't happened since the Twilight series. Mainly because I seldom read YA, but something about Torin St. James had me curious and wanting more from the beginning of “Runes”. Granted he isn't your usual teen and he is only technically 19. Maybe it's the blue eyes and black hair or his wicked personality. I am not sure, but he won my swoon factor majorly.

Raine was your normal average teenage girl. Swim team co-captain, two best friends since like forever, and mad crush on the boy next door who just happens to be one of the two best friends. How was she supposed to know her life was about to take a change for the more interesting route. Also that she would be battling feelings for a certain cocky, blue eyed boy with a wicked gleam in his eyes that made her pulse pound and her heart race. Heck, he made my pulse pound and heart race too even gave me butterflies and made me get cheesy moony grins.

Normally I do longer summaries, but there was so much happening, plus things I didn't expect and I don't want to spoil or ruin the experience for anyone so I stuck to the minimum one.

Even though I thought Torin was an amazing character Raine was a great leading lady, sassy yet loyal, sweet yet protective of those she cared about. I loved the banter between them. Ednah also made me love the background characters as well, plus dislike the baddies you just want to tell off.

I was slightly worried since I mainly read adult books that this would take me forever to read. I should have known better. I love Ednah's adult books what I didn't expect was to be wowed so thoroughly that for the first time in months I finished this YA book of hers in one day. However, the end had me yelling "dang it to H E double hockey sticks".  I mean seriously how could you do that to me and make me wait for the next book??? Lucky for me I was in book hangover mode for a few days. I say Ednah has a winner with this one in my books. It has a solid plot, mystery, baddies, and romance. Oh myyyyy I want more.

Dangerous Love Review Tour For E.B. Walters and Giveaway

Title: Dangerous Love

Author : E.B. Walters

Description: She has her emotions on a tight leash… 

Born to a Las Vegas showgirl, fashion designer Faith Fitzgerald’s childhood was not easy, until her father found her and whisked her off to L.A. to join his wealthy family. 

The rejection by some of her family members hurt, but Faith has moved on. Or so she thinks. She works hard and never lets her guard down, until the day she discovers that someone stole and sold her designs to her competitor and former mentor. To catch the thief and salvage her collection for Fall Fashion Week, Faith turns to her ex-lover, a man who works under the radar and gets results fast. The problem is she has not seen him since she dumped him so unceremoniously. 

He’s laid-back and spontaneous… 

When former-FBI-agent-turned-security-consultant Kenneth ‘Ken’ Lambert receives a call from Faith asking for his services, he sees a chance to payback the gorgeous designer for the way she used him then walked out on him. But then he learns that she is being victimized by a man whose idea of love is both dangerous and toxic, Ken pushes aside his personal agenda and agrees to help her. 

As their investigation progresses, Ken discovers that Faith’s calm exterior hides a woman of character and strength, a woman on the verge of falling apart. Can he help her find the answers she seeks or will she accept his offer instead—acceptance, unconditional love and support?

My Thoughts: "Dangerous Love" is book four in the Fitzgerald's Series. I will have to admit I was swooning over Baron in "Kiss Me Crazy", but Ednah Walters took it to the next level in “Dangerous Love“. This is Faith’s story. On the night of Ashley and Ron's wedding, Faith manages to have a passionate roll in bed with Ken, then she up and left without him knowing. Bring in present day and a revelation that one of her patrons brought forth that someone stole her design after seeing it on another person. Not only that, it was her EX-Jerk of a boyfriend who stole her designs before. So what’s a girl to do when she doesn't want to bring her family into the mix? Go to sexy hot, Mr. One Night Stand himself, Ken, for help. Ken takes it on, but this time he is playing for keeps with Faith's passionate side. He wants it all, even if it means breaking down her wall one brick at a time; one passionate encounter at a time, all while helping her figure out who was behind the stealing of her designs.

Where to start? I loved Faith. This character reminds me of myself for most of it. She is strong, smart, beautiful, and independent. She doesn't want to be a burden on anyone, least of all her family. She puts so much hard work into the one thing she loves, her designs for fashion, and wants to make a impact. Ken is what I would call an alpha male with a soft center for the woman he can't get out of his head and heart. He made me swoon. Walters had me from the start, then a twist thickened my anticipation which I was least expecting. It kept me intrigued. I would go on a mix of swoon-festing to lusting then I would also burst out laughing at parts, coming full emotional circle with cussing out a few of the not particularly nice characters (a.k.a. the evil no-good thieving ones who shall remain quiet until you read the book). Just when I thought I had it all figured out. I had the mystery put back in when her cousin, Eddie revealed something. You have to admire faith with her steady determination to not let it beat her. You will fall in love and root for this couple the whole book. Walters definitely brought it in this book filled with romance, passion, deceit and danger. This is one series you will just keep wanting more of. I know I am already desperately wanting Lex and Eddie's books. Another good thing about this series is they can be read as stand alones. Although she brings the other characters back throughout the books, which I love, they don’t own the story playing out now. If your like me you though, you’ll want to see what part they play and will go back to check them out as well. Ednah Walters, all I can say is I LOVE THIS SERIES! Loved Faith and Ken and can't wait to see what you have in store for us next in the Fitzgerald Series.
