Review: Phantom by Laura DeLuca

Phantom (Dark Musicals #1) by Laura DeLuca
Publishers: Pagan Writers Press
Published: March 20th, 2012
Pages: 262

The “Phantom” was a musical phenomenon that Rebecca had always found enchanting. She had no idea that her life was about to mirror the play that was her obsession. When her high school drama club chooses “Phantom” as their annual production, Rebecca finds herself in the middle of an unlikely love triangle and the target of a sadistic stalker who uses the lines from the play as their calling card.

Rebecca lands the lead role of Christine, the opera diva, and like her character, she is torn between her two co-stars—Tom the surfer and basketball star who plays the lovable hero, and Justyn, the strangely appealing Goth who is more than realistic in the role of the tortured artist.

Almost immediately after casting, strange things start to happen both on and off the stage. Curtains fall. Mirrors are shattered. People are hurt in true phantom style. They all seem like accidents until Rebecca receives notes and phone calls that hint at something more sinister. Is Justyn bringing to life the twisted character of the phantom? Or in real life are the roles of the hero and the villain reversed? Rebecca doesn’t know who to trust, but she knows she’s running out of time as she gets closer and closer to opening night. Only when the mask is stripped away, will the twenty first century phantom finally be revealed.

Review: Scintillate by Tracy Clark

Scintillate (The Light Key Trilogy #1) by Tracy Clark

Publisher: Entangled: Teen

Publication: February 4th, 2014

Pages: 304

A mighty flame follows a tiny spark.

Cora Sandoval’s mother disappeared when she was five and they were living in Ireland. Since then, her dad has been more than overprotective, and Cora is beginning to chafe under his confines. But even more troubling is the colorful light she suddenly sees around people. Everyone, that is, except herself—instead, she glows a brilliant, sparkling silver.

As she realizes the danger associated with these strange auras, Cora is inexplicably drawn to Finn, a gorgeous Irish exchange student who makes her feel safe. Their attraction is instant, magnetic, and primal—but her father disapproves, and Finn’s mother orders him home to Ireland upon hearing he’s fallen in love. After a fight with her father, Cora flees to Ireland, both to follow Finn and to look for her missing mother.

There she meets another silver-haloed person and discovers the meaning of her newfound powers and their role in a conspiracy spanning centuries—one that could change mankind forever…and end her life.

Scintillate is the first book in this lush and exciting new trilogy, full of romance, adventure and metaphysical mystery.

Review: Lover Unbound

Lover Unbound by J.R. Ward

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



This one is about Vishous and Dr. Jane Whitcomb.

I just finished this at 2am, and I'm STILL not sure if I like the ending or not.

Vishous has gone through a lot, I cried for him during the retelling of his horrific past and I'm so happy that Jane was there for him when he finally decided to open up. This book was long, but it feels like it went by way too fast. Very fast paced, very raw, very emotional.

Might edit later once I get my thoughts in order.

Review: Master of Surrender

Master of Surrender by Karin Tabke

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Pretty good read - got it for a Secret Santa gift and I was pretty thrilled since I asked for it.

The concept of the Blood Swords intrigued me. This is the first novel in the series that follows a group of knights from the 11th century that have been banded together through blood. Each knight has a destiny to fulfill and this novel was about Rohan du Luc. He's the leader of the Blood Swords and he's as cocky as all hell.

Enter Isabel, the head-strong lady of the house that Rohan is there to take over in the name of Normandy.

In order to save her squire's life she agrees to let Rohan "trespass on her person."

Lot's of steamy times, some hurtful revelations and finally some bit of happiness.

4 out of 5 stars.
