Detective Paige Whiskey comes from a long line of witches. They may not all be the most powerful, but they are outspoken and supportive of their community. She alone has no gifts. She can’t summon fire, can’t read minds. She knows the arcane. She’s studied it. That, along with her connection to the Whiskey Witches, lands her some pretty strange cases. Like the sacrificial murders of St. Francisville, Louisiana. There’s a killer on the loose, choosing people in a vain attempt to raise a demon. Not just any demon, though. A man born long ago, made a demon in order to protect the Gate to Hell. Together with demon hunter, Dexx Colt, her kitchen-witch grandmother, and her paranormal investigator brother-in-law, they unravel a conspiracy far bigger than a few simple murders, and re-discover Paige’s gift. She’s a demon summoner and she’s key to the killer’s plan. Buy on Amazon / Kobo Meet the Author: SM “Frankie” Blooding lives in Colorado with her pet rock, Rockie, and Jack the ...

Well the year is almost over (ALREADY!!) and my blog just turned one a week or so ago and I decided I will share my bookish goals for you all.  I am thinking it will help me to accomplish more of my goals this way. I was looking at my 2014 Goodreads book challenge and I have noticed I have read 228 book so far this year. Most of those books were books/ebooks I have received for review and from what I can tell I have only read 10 of my own book in the past few years.  I am planning on putting my book challenge to 175 next year (this year my goal was actually 100). I was looking at my TBR and I do have a lot of books I have bought in the past 2 or 3 years that I have not even read yet so I decided 2015 will be the year I read a lot of my TBR pile.  By the way, I will do a TBR pile of shame post at some point in the next month. I want to read more classics books.  I haven't read many in all my years as a reader so I think next year will be a good time to sta...

* I received a free ecopy of this book through NetGalley for my honest review* They’re getting by fine enough when the headaches start. Then there’s the nosebleeds. And the inevitable doctor’s bills. Fortunately for Casey, there’s MyTrueMatch.com: an exclusive, quick, and almost easy way to pay it all back before her parents even have to know. All she has to do is give a man she’s never met whatever he wants from her body. Inside or out. MY THOUGHTS I didn't really know what to expect with this novella because I just requested it without reading the synopsis (yes I do that sometimes).  It is short and an easy read that I did think it was ok  and I had never read anything like this before so I think the story is unique.  It isn't something I would read again though. Don't get me wrong the story is decent but I don't see myself reading it again in the future because I wasn't really drawn to the main character. I give this 2 out of 5 because I wasn'...
