Captivating Vampires
The imagery in this book was tangible and the story kept me racing through to the end. This one packs a tragic punch for sure. Poor, beautiful Adam. I enjoyed the twists on vampires and the unexpected turns along the way. I’m really looking forward to reading more of this author’s work and seeing the story continue to unfold!

The end of the world is coming, or so they say, and that puts Bailey Dewitt on a crash course with Armageddon. Orphaned, she and her young brothers find themselves living with their renegade uncle as part of a group of survivalists. She struggles against them, searching for a way to escape, but every discovery only terrifies her more. For Caleb Cross, the Ranch is a way of life. The members of their group are family, and none should come between them. Smitten from the moment he met Bailey, his choices are no longer easy, his path no longer clear. He wants to welcome her and the twins into their fold and hopes his kin will agree. But the elders who lead them aren’t interested in the troublesome girl. They are plotting for the time they will be rid of her and expect Caleb to go along with their plans – he is after all one of them. At first, Bailey resists Caleb’s charms but soon must admit that she desperately needs a friend. She has no intention of anything more, but when the elders make their move, she is forced to trust him with her very life. They both have hard lessons to learn. Relationships built on secrets and lies don’t come with guarantees. When the world falls apart around them, some things are Irrevocable.

Another wild ride from Samantha Jacobey
Almost seventeen Bailey learns that her parents have died in a car crash on their wedding anniversary. If that’s not bad enough she and her young twin brothers are put in the care of an absent uncle with some baggage. The next thing she knows she is taken to a small city in the middle of TEXAS! (As a Yankee that alone would be enough to make me slit my wrists.
They settle in for a few months and then the reality of her new life changes again. Bailey is a privileged self-proclaimed good girl but acts out hoping to return to her home. She is smart and intuitive but nothing in her life has prepared her for what’s coming. Without giving away the whole book suffice it to say she needs all her social skills to survive and that may not be enough. She needs to get tough and fast. I’ve read several of Ms. Jacobey’s books and again she makes you care about the characters and has a well-developed plot line. Reading this book was like eating peanuts and it went by too fast. Will Bailey figure out how to survive? What will happen to her brothers? Can she learn to be bad enough to make it through the ordeal? Do she and Caleb fall into each other’s arms? This book does not answer those questions but it does set the reader up for the next two books in the series coming out this summer. Myself I cannot wait to see how this plays out. Buy the book and take the ride.

The Irrevocable Series is a pretty clean YA dystopian series (end of the world
The Irrevocable Series is a pretty clean YA dystopian series (end of the world…. not zombie apocalypse). I enjoyed this series very much. I am definitely all for end-of-the-world books. I think my favorite part of this series was Bailey. The loss of the most important people in her life changed her from pleasant to an angry at the world, bitter self-centered girl. Through each of the books, I could see and feel her growth as a person is trying to deal with everything. Book one sets up the series and book two and three are where all the good stuff happens (for me). These books are action-packed and full of twists and turns. The story is well written and the main characters are relatable and real. There were a few too many side characters for me to keep straight in my head. All in all, this is a great series and I would recommend this to everyone!
A chance encounter in a bar with the one who got away had Cam Beckett dreaming of his own happily ever after. But, only if he could convince Kara to forget their disastrous first date and give him a second chance.

Quickie About Misconceptions
Kara and Cam had dated once in high school which ended up being a try to get his jealous girlfriend back. Years later, they cross paths again at a bar and misconceptions almost destroy their second chance. The characters are believable and the situations are right on target. Would love to see this book in a much longer version as it has great potential. Very entertaining.
