Friday Finds!! (#3)


After the long week that I've had, I am so ready for the weekend. And, what better way to start it off then with some free books!! So, here are this weeks free books that I've found, hope you like them!!

Wings of Arian by Devri Walls


Description From Back Cover

Kiora thought she had never heard a lie until she was sixteen. But she was wrong. Her entire existence was based on nothing but. She thought that evil did not exist. Lie. That magic was not real. Lie. And that the land of Meros was all there was. One more lie.

With Aleric telling her that evil is knocking on the door and that she is the only one who can stop them she has a choice to make. Refuse, or start the wildest most painful ride of her life. 

She reluctantly dips her toe into her new existence of magic and threads, dragons and shapeshifters, and the person who wants to take control of it all: the evil Dralazar. 

However, this journey was never meant to be hers alone. She will be accompanied by a Protector. To her disbelief, and utter irritation they name the hotheaded, stubborn, non-magical, (albeit gorgeous) Prince Emane. They will have to trust each other with their lives, but right now Kiora would settle for a non hostile conversation. 

And now it comes down to this, If you had never heard a lie, would you know when you heard one? Is knowing good from evil innate? Kiora finds herself having to decide who lives and who dies on those very questions. 

My Thoughts

Okay, so here is what I'm thinking, magic + gorgeous stubborn male + evil mastermind trying to control the world = pure awesomeness full of action!! There is no way a world filled with dragons, magic, shapeshifters, and more could not be interesting! It sounds just like a world that I would love to spend time in and just read about all day! I'm just speculating, but based on the fact that there are some hostile conversations between Kiora and Prince Emane, there is a possibility that Kiora has some of my favorite characteristics in a main character! I'm hoping that she isn't afraid to stand up for what's right and is not easily intimidated.

Angel Of Mercy by Lisa Olsen

Book one of The Fallen

Book Description From Back Cover

I don't know why I got stabbed. I don't know why I healed overnight. 

I don't know why I keep seeing the same guy in my dreams, on the sidewalk, at the minimart near my apartment - the insanely hot guy with the piercing blue eyes that nobody can see but me. 

I have to follow him. I have to talk to him. 

And he's not the only one stalking me. That guy with the knife? He's still out there, and he knows where I live.

I have to know. What am I now? Am I still human? Am I part angel? Or am I something new?

* This is the first book in a completed, five book series about fallen angels and demons, and contains a cliffhanger. 

My Thoughts

So, I have done only three of these Friday Finds, and have somehow managed to put two books from the same author on them. I definitely take this as a sign that I desperately need to read some books by Lisa Olsen. Her Wake Me When the Sun Goes Down and Angel of Mercy both sound like pretty great reads. Angel of Mercy does contain some fallen angels, and I do love me some fallen angels!

Friday Finds! (#1)


Okay, drum roll please..............here it is, my very first Friday Finds!!! 

Significance By Shelly Crane


Book 1 in the Significance Series

I would not be beginning this first post off right if I didn't include Significance by Shelly Crane. This is the first book in one of my favorite series!! Currently, Significance is free on Amazon, and it has been for a while (that's how I discovered it in the first place!). Hopefully I will be able to re-read this later on and post a review on here!


Book Description From Back Cover

                                                                                                       
Maggie is a seventeen year old girl who's had a bad year. She was smart and on track, but her mom left, her dad is depressed, she's graduating, barely, and her boyfriend of almost three years dumped her for a college football scholarship. Lately she thinks life is all about hanging on by a thread and is gripping tight with everything she has.

Then she meets Caleb. 
                                                                                                             
She saves his life and instantly knows there's something about him that's intriguing, but she's supposed to be on her way to a date with his cousin. Things change when they touch, sparks ignite. Literally. 
                                                                                            
They imprint with each other and she sees their future life together flash before her eyes. She learns that not only is she his soul mate, and can feel his heartbeat in her chest, but there is a whole other world of people with gifts and abilities that she never knew existed. She herself is experiencing supernatural changes unlike anything she's ever felt before and she needs the touch of his skin to survive. Now, not only has her dad come out of his depression to be a father again, and a pain as well, but Caleb's enemies know he's imprinted and are after Maggie to stop them both from gaining their abilities and take her from him. 
                                                                                                                          
Can Caleb save her or will they be forced to live without each other after just finding one another?

Wake Me When the Sun Goes Down (Forged Bloodlines Book 1) by Lisa Olsen


Forged Bloodlines: Book 1

I have actually read a sample of Wake Me When the Sun Goes Down, and have wanted to buy it right then and there. But, instead I added it to my Amazon wishlist and waited for the price to go down, and boy did it ever. Lisa Olsen's first book in the Forged Bloodlines Series is now free! I am currently in werewolf and alien mode, but when I get back into vampire mode, I'll be sure to pick this one up and review it!


Book Description From Back Cover


Anja Evans wakes up in the morgue with a hell of a hangover. It takes almost eating her best friend before she figures out... she's a vampire. When a dark and dangerous vampire shows up at her door asking to see her license and registration, Anja assumes Bishop is a regular cop. But breeding among vampires is strictly controlled, and her unlicensed status makes her an enemy of The Order. Struggling to find a balance between her former life and her undead one, Anja tries to blend college and living up to her new identity, all while searching to find the elusive Viking, whose blood gave Anja the strength of a vampire hundreds of years old.
