a Rafflecopter giveaway teaser I changed Jack’s diaper early on Sunday morning and let his tired parents sleep in. After giving him his bottle, he went back to la-la-land. I then made coffee and sat outside drinking it while texting Ryan. Our training session had been canceled because Derek wanted to see us at the Org at ten in the morning. I heard a noise inside and went back through the kitchen door to find my tiny sister-in-law trying to reach coffee mugs from the cabinet above her. She was getting on a small step I’d given her years ago as a present. “Why do you insist on keeping things so high up when your head is hardly past the counter?” I asked as I reached around her to get the mug and set it down. I should have known better. As soon as I did that, her elbow connected with my rib and had me wincing. “Stop making fun of me or I’ll break a bone next time,” Annie said. “But you are perfect for it, Anniewee. You’re already fun-sized,” I said, grabbing a cup for her. “Whatever. It's up there because it’s Nick’s job. Obviously.” “Go sit down, I’ll mix your cup. Where is he?” “Sleeping. It was his turn for night duty.” “Technically you can fix that by hitting him with some energy.” I personally loved when she transferred her energy to me. It was perfect for those all-nighters I was so fond of. Annie had this ongoing Kinetic energy that could give the rest of us an extra boost to our own powers. It could also give me a certain oomph that kept me energized enough to last me a week or so. Sadly, I no longer got the chance to enjoy the benefits of her powers. I enjoyed Ryan’s instead. I met Ryan in my last year in training. She’s a sensor and an amplifier. As a sensor, she could tell Luminaries apart from ordinary people, and because she was in tune with other people’s emotions she could tell if they were lying. As an amplifier, she couldn’t do much for herself, but she helped expand everyone else’s powers, times five. With Annie, it was different: our energies would last a while and we’d keep going. But with Ryan, it was in the moment. She was a drug to us all. The strange thing was that she and Annie couldn’t do anything for each other. They were too evenly powerful in an unbalanced way. It didn’t matter, though; they never went on assignments together. Annie and Nick were now partners with Derek, and they helped run the Org. But their idea of managing was turning Derek down whenever he brought up something they didn’t agree with. Before they had the baby, they went on assignments frequently and left Derek to run his own show. Adrenaline junkies was what they were. I looked at her. “I’m telling you, Annie. You two should stop trying to deal with a baby like normal people.” “No,” she said, taking a sip while the cup was still in my hand. “Well that’s stupid; you are Luminaries. Take advantage.” I put my empty cup in the sink and smiled. “Speaking of, would you be a doll and charge up my new babe for me?” She crinkled her nose. “That doesn’t sound like something I want to do.” “Relax. As a birthday present to myself, I turned in my Prius for a Tesla S . . . S for sexy hybrid car. I can’t believe I forgot to show you guys. She’s like my bride, beautiful in white.” “You and your hybrids. You could have just plugged in your car the whole time you were here. There’s a reason you installed a charge port in my garage.” “Come on! Please?” “If you want to be so environmental you should just teleport everywhere. You know, take advantage of being a Luminary yourself, instead of using me for your shenanigans.” “First, Ryan is the environmental one. I would never hear the end of her yapping away if I didn’t get hybrids. Second, I have to keep up appearances that I’m normal for those who don’t know our secrets. How would you explain to your nosy neighbors why I was sitting outside if I didn’t walk or drive here?” “Stop going outside where they can see you.” I shook my head. “But I needed fresh air.” “Uh huh, in February?” She raised her eyebrow. “Like I don’t know you were checking out their daughter?” “Look at me. I run on heat. February air does nothing to me. And she just happened to be out there wiping snow off her car, that’s all. I even helped.” “How, exactly?” Annie asked, putting both hands on her hips. “When she wasn’t looking, a big chunk suddenly slid off. It was discreet, I promise.” She sighed. “Fine, but this is the last time I charge it. And only because I’m curious to see your new car. Stop smiling.” “You know your special touch will make it last for double the time, right? Your touch, Annie, is the key.” I ducked right on time to avoid her punch. Footsteps behind me alerted me that Nick was up. “My wife’s touch is the key to what now? Keep flirting with her and I’ll make sure you’re unable to wake up next to girls for at least a month.” “Whoa, hey, hey. No harm done,” I said, then teleported next to Annie to give her a kiss on the cheek. “Dunno what’s the use of being a teleporter if you’re going to be driving around,” Nick said. “I love to drive.” “You love to speed.” “What’s the difference?” I asked him. “Stop it, you two. Let’s go charge your car up,” Annie said, pulling me toward the front door.

- EXCERPT -
You’d ask what kind of psychic I am. Well, I’ll tell you: I’m the shitty kind. I see maybe ten percent of what I should, and I can’t change a fucking second of it. I see what I see, and then I brace because it’s going to happen. There isn’t a thing I can do.

Believe me, I’ve tried. It’s a waste of time, and it weighs too much on my heart.

And on my mind.

Let’s not forget about the tenuous hold I have on sanity. I just thank the universe I live alone now. How many times could I have woken a roommate, looking like a horror movie reject before I booked a one-way ticket to a padded cell? I’ve already lived through one involuntary incarceration under an insane Primary’s thumb; a repeat stay is not in my future.

I’d rather chew a bullet.

Hiding my abilities when under constant surveillance is almost impossible. I’m a Seer, born with the ability to observe things that will come to pass in vivid Technicolor inside my little noggin, hence that lovely dream. I also sometimes randomly electrocute people without meaning to. Well, sometimes I mean to, but not all the time, and that is pretty scary. If people weren’t already looking at me funny before, which they are because as a Seer, my eyes freak people way the fuck out, they would after I zapped the crap out of them randomly.

Then there’s the phasing. As a fledgling, I sometimes transitioned from my resting form to the ethereal without even trying. Meaning, when I got angry or upset, I would burst into flames, and my wings would pop out. I got angry a lot in those days.

Yes, I am a bloodthirsty little thing. No, I don’t have any problem inflicting violence when I deem it necessary. Yes, ‘when I’m pissed’ falls under the necessary column.

Okay, I should explain the eye thing. You see (pun intended) my eyes are a very pale, milky green. All the time. You remember old westerns where the old guy is blind, and he has those freaky eyes where the iris and pupil nearly blend into the sclera? Yep, you guessed it, that’s what’s going on here.

Only I’m not blind.

And I wear contacts when I go outside because if I don’t people assume I’m blind, for one, and their face says they are squicked way the hell out, for numero dos. Also, when I’m pissed they kind of, well, glow.

Like an incandescent bulb, glow.

So the fact I’m not exactly human is really fucking obvious.

Hello, my name is Aurelia Constantine, and I am a Phoenix.

The Diamond Isles by S.Cu'Anam Policar Review

The Diamond Isles (The Legend Begins, #1)The Diamond Isles by S. Cu'Anam Policar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a wonderful story! I really enjoyed reading this and cant wait for the next one.... I do think the author is selling herself short though. I think this story could be so much better than it already is, if Ms Policar expanded on her characters and story. I think the story has so many possibilities to expand and make the story even better.
This story is the unfolding of the Dragons, and Anjyls. I found some of the story a little jarring, and in parts confusing. But for the most part the story of the dragons was a very enrapturing tale. I absolutely LOVE Dragons, and this story did not disappoint.
I am unable to say much without giving something away. It is FULL of action from page 2 to the very end. You will get sucked it and dragged along for an unstoppable ride.

Review of Envy by Kandie Stixx

EnvyEnvy by Kandie Stixx
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the story of Shar, and we start out the book with her being arrested. Literally the police are there with guns drawn her on her knees. It doesnt slow down from there. From the start we jump back in time a few years to when the entire story starts. Shars life is promising as she marries her High school sweetheart against the odds. His family is beyond wealthy. Caleb and she start a wonderful life together off, the only issue between them is his mom. They move to Ireland, and that solves that. And for the next few years things are going well. Then one night at a party her whole world comes to an abrupt halt. One little bump in the road and the whole life theyve built will be changed forever.
This was a very interesting book. For the most part I truly enjoyed it. I did however feel it went from one place to a different side completely. And for me not in a too terribly believable or realistic way. There is also a little trouble where the author switches between 1st and 3rd person.
Overall however, I loved the main part of the story and think Ms Stixx is a truly talented author. This is a story unlike any I personally have read before. I definitely think I will be reading more rom her. Warning this is NOT your typical Happily ever after

Excerpt

“What’s perfect?”
“This right here.  The stars.  Aren’t they beautiful?”  She glanced over to find Jake staring at her.
“You’re beautiful.”
His hand cupped her neck and he came in close.  “Can I?”
Miriam didn’t respond.  She licked her lips as if they weren’t listening to her brain, which was emphatically yelling at her to stop this.
Jake obviously wasn’t listening to her internal monologue as his lips captured hers in a tentative kiss.  Her brain reminded her he was an asshole at the bar, he’d given her coke yesterday, he was mixed up in Tres Lobos, and he stole from his parents.  It was screaming at her that this was a bad idea.
But at the touch of his lips on hers, the lizard part of her brain—the part which was just made to eat, sleep, and have sex—told her to go for it.  She whimpered into his lips in defeat, and his arms went around her waist, pulling her close as he deepened the kiss.  Jake’s lips were soft, his mouth warm, and the aftershave exquisite.  She didn’t want him to ever let her go.
“Oh my God,” she breathed at him between kisses.  His tongue delved into her mouth, but before she lost herself completely, she pulled back.  “We can’t do this.”
He kissed her again, muttering against her mouth, “Why not?”
“I can think of half a dozen reasons off the top of my head.”
That seemed to stop him, but he didn’t let go of her.  Jake just looked at her quizzically, as if he saw absolutely nothing wrong with the fact they were kissing.  He apparently didn’t realize he had a dual personality and was a complete shit half the time he existed.  He finally looked up, taking a deep breath.  When he refocused on her, his eyes hardened into something wild. Something feral.  Something passionate.  And a little scary.
“Blame it on the stars,” was all he said before his mouth captured hers again.  This kiss was different from the first.  Where the first one was tentative and exploratory, this kiss was devouring.  It was like he’d gotten a taste of nirvana and craved more.  It was heady, the way his tongue was mating with hers in a fiery kiss that was quickly undoing her cell by cell.  Her last coherent thought was that Simon was going to kill her.
