Title: Getting Wilde
Author: Jen Stark
Date Read: Feb 2017
Number of Pages: 238
Why did you read it: Was on the nook
What was it about: Using her well-worn Tarot deck, magical-artifacts hunter Sara Wilde can find anything—for a price. And the price had better be right, since she needs to finance her own personal mission to rescue several young psychics recently sold on the paranormal black market.
Enter Sara’s most mysterious client and occasional lover, the wickedly sexy Magician, with a job that could yield the ultimate payday. All she’ll have to do is get behind Vatican walls… and steal the Devil himself.
But play with the Devil and you’re bound to get burned.
Pressure mounts for Sara to join the Magician’s ancient and mysterious Arcana Council, as militant forces unleashed by even darker powers seek to destroy all magic—including the young psychics Sara is desperate to keep safe. The Council may be their only hope. . . but it could also expose Sara’s own dark past.
From the twisting catacombs of Rome to the neon streets of Vegas, Sara confronts ancient enemies, powerful demigods, a roiling magical underworld about to explode… and immortal passions that might require the ultimate sacrifice. But oh, what a way to go.
No matter how the cards play out, things are about to get Wilde
Who was your favorite Character: The Magician
How did you feel after reading it: I am not sure if I liked it. I am beginning to not be a fan of serials rather then stand alone novels within a familiar world. It seemed to jump around and there wasn’t a clear picture on who her love interest will be. Magician, Devil, Brody?

Strange Case by Lauren Stewart
Title: Strange Case
Author: Lauren Stewart
Date Read: Feb 2017
Number of Pages: 403
Why did you read it: Third in a trilogy Hyde 03
What was it about: Sometimes, to see the eyes of your greatest enemy, you need to look into a mirror.
In this final chapter of Mitch and Eden's story, everyone will be tested. Morality and honor weighed against getting the job done. But desperation can make people do things they never thought they’d be capable of. And returning from hell is a pretty damn big wake-up call, especially once Mitch realizes that the woman he loves has been in a different kind of hell…and she can’t get out of it.
Who was your favorite Character: Mitch again :)
How did you feel after reading it: I am glad that it had a real ending and that there is a chance for more books in the same world.

Jekyll by Lauren Stewart
Title: Jekyll
Author: Lauren Stewart
Date Read: Feb 2017
Number of Pages: 355
Why did you read it: I really liked the first book Hyde 02
What was it about: “When the devil tells you to stop struggling, do you?”
From the moment Eden wakes up, she knows she’s not in Kansas anymore. She isn’t even on Mitch’s doorstep, her dark-side’s favorite place to dump her. No, she’s somewhere far worse. And far more sterile. Sometimes a girl needs to adapt, be flexible, change. And that’s exactly what Eden will do, all the way back to Mitch. No matter what she has to do to get there. Because his life depends on it.
Mitch has lost something he’d never thought he’d find to begin with. And “It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all” is a lie. A lie people tell themselves to make the pain go away. But the pain doesn’t go away, not in someone like Mitch. It festers. It grows. Until it can’t be held back anymore, even by the bars of a cage.
Who was your favorite Character: Mitch
How did you feel after reading it: I never really liked the books that end in cliffhangers but these were pretty good. I liked the go between with Mitch and Landon. It made me laugh. It was kind of dark but good.

Hyde by Lauren Stewart
Title: Hyde
Author: Lauren Stewart
Date Read: Feb 2017
Number of Pages: 378
Why did you read it: It was on my nook. Hyde 01
What was it about: Honesty is impossible when you don't know the truth to begin with.
Mitchell Turner is everything women want most in a man--he's charismatic, successful, and undeniably gorgeous. But he's not a man--he's a monster. By venting his rage 24/7, Mitch keeps people out of the danger zone that surrounds him. But, after the most incredible night of his life, he realizes that might not be possible. Except the woman he wakes up with claims she doesn't remember any of it. And that kind of thing can make a guy insecure.
Eden Colfax is kind, loyal, honest to a fault, and cavity-inducing sweet. To rid herself of the monsters that haunted her broken childhood, Eden doesn't lie, doesn't curse, and definitely never wakes up naked in strangers' beds...until the day she does. Then the flashbacks start--places she's never been, people she's never met, blood she's never spilled. And the only person with any answers is a man she never wants to see again.
What they don't know is that someone is manipulating them, determined to find out exactly what they're capable of. And when the truth leaves them nothing to hold onto, they will be forced into a partnership neither expected. Or wanted.
But in life, who you trust is as important as who you are. And when you can't even trust yourself, sometimes the only person you can rely on is the last person on earth you should be falling for.
