Review ~ Pandora's Box by Gracen Miller

Title: Pandora's Box
Author: Gracen Miller

Series: Road To Hell  #1

Released: August 19th 2011 by Decadent Publishing

Where does the road to Hell begin?
What happens when your son turns homicidal overnight and your husband disappears on his way to work? Do you cower in fear or fight for your life? Madison Wescott fights against the odds. Distrustful of a God she doesn't believe in, she finds herself face-to-face with a world she didn't know existed and discovers her own soul is darkened with demonic connections.

With good intentions? Or by demonic design?
Phoenix Birmingham bursts into Madison’s life in a whirlwind of sarcasm and sexual appeal. A hero for the masses—and for her jaded heart—but few will ever know the sacrifices he has made or the sacrifices to come. Discovering her entire life has been influenced by multifaceted paranormal beings, Madison is determined to defeat the apocalyptic blueprint fate has decreed, but only one man dares to challenge the supernatural forces manipulating them. Even with Phoenix's aid, can destiny be denied? Or will demonic design prevail while they pay the crucial price with their souls?

In a small, sleepy Alabama town the battle for mankind's liberty has begun...

~~~

Before you read this book, I Highly recommend you to read

Madison's Life Lessons (read my review here).  This is a PREQUEL  for Pandora's Box. Like Gracen says, " Every story has a beginning... " Life lessons are showing you what happened with Madison before her journey begins in Pandora's Box and what decisions lead her to where she is in PB. They're as AWESOME as the book, they'll blow your mind, I promise! AVAILABLE NOW on: Smashwords & Amazon

WARNING: Adult book 18+...

I am one of the luckiest people in the world, who won an e-book copy of Pandora's Box after it's released. Y'all hate me now, huh? *evil laugh*

I think you already figured out, that i Loved the Life Lessons. Uhm... No... Love is not the right word, 'cuz i started to read the 1st lesson and i didn't even take a break until I reached and finished the 13rd lesson (that was the last back then). It was 7am. when i finished and commented on all of them. Now there are 26 Lessons and i waited from week to week to read a new one, like a hungry person waiting for a piece of bread...See? I don't love it... I'm obsessed by Madison's journey!!!

It's Time to talk about the BIG BANG... THE BOOK!

Oh Hell... this will be a tough challenge, because I want to write a review, which doesn't contains spoilers, but i also want to Shut out those scenes and lines that made my jaw drop...

So... if you LOVE the TV show called Supernatural, you are gonna LOVE this book, too.

No, don't get me wrong, i'm not saying it's a copy of the show, i'm saying, that there were parts that reminded me of the show (like probably most demon hunter story does) and boy... They were awesome!!!

In the beginning of the book We learn about that Amos, Madison's son once was a normal kid and the next day he killed animals and attacked her mother and he was muted. Madison took him to doctors, a priest, she tried use herbs, etc... none of them helped. She talked with a psychic who promised she send help to her, and here comes Phoenix Birmingham, a demon hunter...

Nix and his family have arrived just in time to see Amos was trying to kill Madison. She explained everything she knew to them but she doesn't believe that they could help her and her son.

And of course, she doesn't believe in demons either until... they experience the first attack by a demon and we'll see how powerful Amos is (in that case, if we didn't pee ourselves because of him yet). The demon mentions Micah's name and talks about his return to his family. (personally I did a happy-dance when I read it, it's not a secret that i LOVED him in the lessons... )

On one night a new damon comes for a visit, but it's not just a simple demon, i won't tell it's real ID but i can tell, that it'll shake Madison's life... The demon comes for her and Amos and it won't stop until it gets what it wants...(it's nearly impossible to stop this one...)

We will figure out why Amos turned into a homicidal, muted child from one day to the next and what he is, we'll also know, that Madison isn't exactly human, thanks for her mother's bloodline (ahh that biatch!!). When I read the lessons i was thinking about it, but Gracen has the ability, that she makes you doubt yourself when you read more and in the end it turns out that you were right, but you still surprised by those things as if you've never thought about them before... EVIL woman...evil but also AMAZING!!

At the middle of the book Madison take a fight back and with Amos' help she hunt demons and tries to find out how could she stop their ultimate enemy...

The time goes fast, there are parts when we hop 1 year, it could be scary for you, but don't be afraid, it's awesome and gives more possibility for us to see how the characters are changing, and every chapter brings a new battle or exciting news to us. We also get to see how Amos changing from the scary "I'll rip you into pieces, mommy" chucky to a powerful, and "mom protecting" child. 

There are also POV (point of view) changes which I always love when an author does that... we get the chance to see what's going on in Hell, what the kick-ass sexy demon hunter Nix is thinking about (what'd you think?! Girls and demons and sex and Mads and Mads and Ma...okay okay, you got it.) Mads -Mads is Nix's nickname for Madison (HOW CUTE!)- and Nix feel desire for eachother and there are uhm...parts when they...uhm... can i say they're kissing?? NO!! I CAN'T say more!! Maybe they'll do something else, maybe they don't... YOU have to find out by reading the book *evil grins*

Heading to the end of the book we learn a HUGE secret about our sexy Demon Hunter, Nix.

He isn't just a simple demon hunter, either (totally not expected) and the King has a plan for him... what king, what plan, what is he??? You know the answer... READ THE BLOODY BOOK!!

At the end of the book Nix makes a deal with the devil...And Mads trying to call it off and she prepared to kick in Hell's door, walk in and get what she wants even if it costs her own and other's life...

DEMONS...ACTIONS...PASSION...EMOTIONS...

Phew... that was hard... let's talk about the characters:

Madison: Her father is a preacher (and a real jackass....) her mother is the ultimate biatch in her life. Her father always said, a demon lives in her... so no wonder that when she meets Micah at the age of 14, Madison turns to him for friendship and after years she'll marry him.

And soon she'll regret it... She has a strong will and she's also strong emotionally. She doesn't give up on her son, not even when he's trying to kill her. That is sooo adorable!! I Love her character and i loved how she grew up from that scared child she was at the begining of the lessons...

Amos: Madison's son. When i started to read the book and saw what is he doing i wanted to slap him (i know.. shame on me.. but i'm not a mother and face it.. he earned it... ) and after i wanted to run away from him and i would tell Nix "take him down, pls!! " BUT when he first worried about his mom i was so happy that this apple actually fallen far from the tree in this case... and now i Love him, too. And i Love his qoutes, sometimes they're really funny at another times they're full of love...

Phoenix 'Nix': What could I say about him? HOT, Kick-ass, stubborn, sarky, funny and a REAL womanizer... and emotional...ya who thought??? He doesn't give up on Mads and her son, he stayed to protect them when everyone else would run as far away as it possible. (Sweet, isn't he??) He's ready to sacrifice himself to save the woman and her son... and maybe he does...

Micah: Oooooooh i so LOVED HIM in the lessons... I still do, even he is not (so) lovable in the book... Remember when i talked about how can Gracen make you believe you're far away from the truth?? Ya the same here... I guessed he is what he really is (not the entire part) during the lessons, but there were times when i nearly doubt it...

OVERALL: I started to read Pandora's Box on the same day when the newest book from my favourite series arrived, but i didnt even open it up, because of PB and when i wanted...wanted?? no...i must have put it down i couldn't stand more than 1 hour without reading it... i don't have an ereader, so i'm reading on my PC and it was sux when i had to go out for a long drive and i couldn't bring it with me... Prepare yourself for a story that sucks you in and doesn't let you go until it's not finished... maybe not even then, since after 2 days i'm still talking about this and haven't read the other book... So i guess it says everything how i feel about this book! Oh and ya, you wondering why Pandora's Box is the title? I was wondering about it too.. a LOT! it was a nice touch!! But now i tell you... You'll find out, when you read the book, and i highly recommend to you to do it!! Did i mentioned that this book is frickin' AMAZING???

For Gracen... Go to HELL...and bring up for us the "Hell's Phoenix", NOW!!!! *evil grins*

Thank you so much for the book! :)

Review ~ Spartan Heart Part One by Kristine Cheney

Okay, before we hop to the review I have to admit, that this is my second review, so please be kind! ;)

Sent away to college in America, Evangeline swore she would never return to England. Anger loses its value when tragedy forces her home to assume ownership of the family's beloved Greco-Roman museum.

Placing a foolish, drunken kiss on a Greek statue in the museum's basement, Evangeline unknowingly frees a Spartan prince from an evil oracle's curse. Suddenly, her lonely life is invaded by the rakish man with knowing emerald green eyes who never eats or sleeps, and seems to know her every thought and feeling.

Falling in love is dangerous, especially when it's with a man who has already been claimed by the bitter oracle, Demona. From the moment of her kiss, Evangeline is swept into Dorien's world of mystery, danger, and passion. The oracle's fury only mounts as they unravel Demona's darkest secrets, but not before Demona finds out about their unborn half-breed immortal twins.

Demona uses her knowledge of the future to manipulate and destroy, but sometimes love has a will, and a heart, of its own.

NOTE: Please, consider, that this isn't my usual type of book! I truly recommend this book to the person who is a sucker for romance! Also, PLEASE keep in mind that SH1 and SH2 are really ONE book split in TWO parts. Both books make up the whole story.

This review is only for the PART ONE!

I won this book in a bloghop. My version is an e-book format and it's separated for two parts, but you can purchase in paperback -which is contains both part- as well. My friend reviewed this and convinced me, that I must read it. When She told me I won, My reaction was something like this

I started to read on the same day when I received the e-mail from Kristine, but I finished only 1 day ago. Yes, it took me sooo long to read it, but no, not because of the book, only because I had to do a bunch of things and I always got interrupted.

So let's talk about the story!

I have to admit it... This isn't an ordinary story. Really good idea the spartan warrior who was turned into a statue by an evil oracle and released by a girl's kiss. I love every kind of mithology, especially Grecian ones. Excellent storyline!

The beginning of the book is really sad, so if you're a really sentimental person, I suggest to put a box of kleenex close to you!

They told me not to expect so much action, so I sat down, knowing this won't be my usual read. And yes, it isn't. The first half of the book was a little boring to me, though there were parts that I really liked, for example; when Taryn -Evangeline's best friend- turned down the annoying reporter at the beginning. She's an awesome character, but i'm gonna talk about her later. There was one scene, when Evan suddenly meets her ex- (jackass) boyfriend, Andrew and Evan mentally kicked his ass and basically said him "Go to hell!" That guy completely ruined her romantic life for like... forever... at least she thought that...

After several pages we finally meet Prince Dorieus. 

When I read his background story I was like this

Why? Because I've never ever heard of him before, and whooaw, that story is awesome! Dorieus was the only other Spartan prince(besides his brother) whose history as a soldier was noted. He was cursed and betrayed on the battlefield by Demona, a crazy Oracle.

And here comes Evan into the scene. She finds him after a party night with Taryn, and enchanted by his beauty, Evan kisses the statue (probably she drank too much plus her love life wasn't a fairy tale either...). And the miracle happens! Dorien a.k.a Prince Dorius turns back into a flash and blood man. An Immortal man, actually. Lucky Evan!! After his transformation, Dorien takes her back into her bed. And here is my (not so big) problem. The love scenes were a little bit rush. At first time in effect we were just told there was something between them, and we skipped the whole thing. Okay, I get it, it's a romance and not an erotic book, but I just wanted a little bit more. Fortunetely I got it, even though not as much as I wanted, but there were parts where I can say "okay, it's pretty good." 

The Second half of the book was sooo much more exciting!! Thank God.. oh no wait! Thanks Kristine!! :-)

Oh how I Love the Point of view changes!! If you'll read this, You're gonna LOVE Dorien's POV! I did.

I'm not so romantic type, but seriosly, I LOVE this couple.
I Love, that Dorien chose to remain single in his time and now, centuries later, he found...err... I mean SHE found HIM and now Dorien can't live without her touch. She's stronger because of him, finally she found someone who truly loves her. When she finds out her lover is the staute and immortal, she's not so shocked as I expected. Actually she deals with it within one minute. It could seems a little rush, but personally, I liked it. No annoying resistance from her, she just loves him, accepts him as the way he is.

And after several weeks, Demona comes to ruin everything they've build up. What a bitch! She admit, that she tried to kill Evan, not even once. Demona asks Dorien to spend with 10 days separated from Evan and offers him a deal. She forced him to choose the lesser evil. Nope, I won't tell you what are the options. If you want to know, read the book and find out yourself! *evil laugh* Demona also tells him, that he is gonna become a father. Yep! You heard me, she says that Evan will conceieve. Anyways, while Dorien is away, Evan starts to feel sick. When Dorien returns to her, she finds out, that she's pregnant. With twins! Although she doesn't tell Dorien yet and she asks Taryn to cover her.

The end of the book Part One is a big cliff-hangar. Should I tell you what it is? Some Hint? Okay, I think I can give you something. There comes a stranger to Evan's life and it looks like he/she is a threat to her. I won't give you more, want to know who is it? Grab your own copy and find out!

Okay, let's talk about the characters!

Evangeline is a sweet, cute girl, though she has a strong will. She went through the hell in her life, but finally she found the Love of her Life. It makes her stronger. She's smart, as we can see, when she comes up with an idea to save the sponsors for her museums. She is a lovable character.

Dorien a.k.a Prince Dorieus is a spartan warrior. A Prince, actually.
But maybe I could say he is a Grecian GOD! Smart, sexy, he loves Evan so much. It's funny sometimes, when he doesn't know meaning of something. Where in the Hades this guy came from??
Oh sure... he's an ancient Immortal. He can read minds (be careful with your wicked thoughts!!). He can run as fast as Clark Kent, his senses are extraordinary, like Spiderman's... okay not that awesome, but his hearing, sight, touch, etc. are really good. But let's face it... It was only because he was cursed. Not cool!


Taryn is loyal, helpful, funny... in one word she is an awesome secondary character. She's Evan's best friend. She protects Evangeline.
Demona... well, ya she's a crazy biatch! But a really good developed one. I can see in her everything what I want to see in an evil female villain.

Tommy is basically Dorien's new assistant. We're not see him so many times in the book, but when we do, it's definitely worth it. He's cute and funny. I'd love to read more about him, too.

Okay, now here comes the tough part...
The rating!

NOTE: Please, consider, that this isn't my usual type of book! I truly recommend this book to the person who is a sucker for romance! Also, PLEASE keep in mind that SH1 and SH2 are really ONE book split in TWO parts. Both books make up the whole story.

This review is only for the PART ONE!

Now off to read Part Two!! :-)

My First Book Review ~ Hunter’s Moon by F.E. Heaton

SO, THIS IS MY FIRST REVIEW HOPEFULLY THIS GOES WELL…

I recently finished Hunter’s Moon (Vampires Realm #9) by Felicity Heaton. I won a Signed Copy in her blog contest, so I was thinking about if I finish it, I should do a review. It won’t be long, cause basically I sperated the things what i liked and didn’t like in this book.

Title: Hunter’s Moon
Author:  F.E. Heaton

Series: Vampires Realm #9

Released:  February 2011

The horror of the night he failed to save his werewolf pack from the cruelty of their vampire masters has haunted Nicolae for one hundred years, driving him deep into the Canadian wilderness in search of peace. That peace is threatened when unfamiliar hunters and the scent of blood lead him to a beautiful woman and a hard decision—face his past and help her or risk losing everyone he cares about again.

Bearing a heart filled with grief and with vengeance on her mind, Tatyana is intent on killing the hunters she’s tracking and returning to her vampire bloodline, but her plan didn’t include being shot with poisoned arrows or rescued by a glowering alpha werewolf who stirs forbidden hunger in her.

When the hunters make their move, will Nicolae be able to stop them before it’s too late? Will he be able to overcome the darkness in his heart and embrace his desire for a vampire? And can Tatyana face her fears and risk her life for the sake of forbidden love?

Read an Excerpt here!

SO LET’S START THE REVIEW:

Hunter’s Moon by F.E. Heaton is the 9th book in her Vampire Realm series but you don’t have to read the other books to understand what’s happening in this one (i haven’t read them either yet). It is a story about two natural enemies, a werewolf and a vampire falling in love. Altough I don’t really like stories about shifters, weres, I Loved this one. Oh and I love the cover (pretty sure, I’m not the only one… You can guess why.. yes yes.. The Moon, I Love the Moon... :P)

The beginning of the book is really exciting. We learn some things about our Werewolf, Nicolae, but really interesting ones, like about his relationship with the local timber wolf pack. Also the hunters come into the scene early. After that, we don’t have to wait so much to find out about the vampire Tatyana. She was deadly wounded by the hunters, but against his every hate for her kind, Nicolae couldn’t bring himself to leave her die there, so He took her to his home to heal her and get answers about the Hunters. After some pages we are going to learn more about Tatyana as she woke up in the werewolf’s house.


Since i’m more of an action type of reader, usually i just want to get to the dialogue, the actions and skip the too much descriptions… I haven’t problem in this here, because there are descriptions as much as a reader needs, neither more nor less. There’s no too much, too early. We learn something new in each chapter about the characters or how their world works. The dialogue was interesting, realistic, smart and effective.


As for the sexual content of the story, we have to work hard to get to the sex scene, and even then it goes slowly, it’s sweet and soft. This book had great sexual build up. The constantly grewing attraction bring to us passionate scenes when they near by the other, even when there are just unsaid thoughts in their heads and they don’t touch eachother. And no, it’s not annoying… In some books I screaming “just go to the bedroom NOW, damn it!! ” but here these scenes are so powerful even with no-sex, not even with a kiss.

Let’s talk about the characters:

Characters are well developed and life-like.

Starting with Nicolae… He is tough and strong, not just phisically, but emotionally too. The guy has been through hell and he’s come back stronger. Nicolae is sexy, damaged and definitely interesting. Could be an awesome alpha. Altough his hatred of the vamps in his deep, his not a jerk with the girl at first place, He just keeps distance from Her, but after they getting talking about their past it’ll change.

Tatyana is desperately trying to prove to her bloodline and everyones around her that she’s not weak. As we’re getting to know her better, we’ll see she’s actually a really strong woman. With this and her desire to help others she is a very likeable vampire. She is on a mission, She left her home to take a revenge. They both have weaknesses and strength.

The Hunters are interesting parts of the story. In the beginning we’re learn that they after Tatyana, but as we know later from the vampire, She is went after Them. But then what the bloody hell are they really after and why? Now this is an interesting turn point

Now let’s make a short list about “What i liked / didn’t like”

What I liked:

- Just enough Description
- We don’t have to wait so long for the exciting action parts
- The characters were realistic. Not egoist, not helpless, they were strong enough.
- Nicolae’s connection to the timber wolf pack and his relationship with the local werewolf pack
- Good, smart dilogue
- increasingly, but not annoying attraction between the Main characters
- Oh and Of course I loved the parts about Hungary XD

What I didn’t like:

The last Fight was a little rush and less exciting than Tatyana’s fight with the ww alpha…

Overall: I would love to read how their story continues, even it wasn’t cliffhanger in the end. I would recommend this to anyone who loves Romance, action filled stories, Everyone who loves / doesn’t love werevolves, vampires equally, because this is nothing like the usual.
