Stacking the Shelves

Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. It is hosted by Tynga's Reviews. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!
I am sorry, I have been seriously slacking lately. I started a new job and the overtime is killing me. I haven't had time for much of anything else. By the time the weekend comes I could pretty much sleep it away. I am hoping this gets better as our staff numbers increase! Until then I am doing what I can to keep up with my posts.

Amazon Summary: (One of my friends wrote a book! If this interests you please show her some loooove!)
Kylah was born and raised in a small northern town. She lived an ordinary life in the mortal world. Until the day she’s turned into a Vampire. 

Her eyes are suddenly opened to a world she never knew existed, and she finds herself incredibly alone in a Supernatural existence. She is the first Vampire since the dawn of Creation to hold the powers given to the Originals, and every spiritual entity has taken notice. 

Demons have been summoned from the Pits of Hell to hunt her down, convert her to their side, or snuff her out like a candle. Darkness appeals to her need for revenge on those who have wronged her, and those she loves. It entices her with promises of power and respect. 

But beings of the Light have also come for her. Guardians of the Dead, servants of the Creator, rush to her aid to appeal to her humanity and save her soul from damnation, and rescue the world from a dark, avenging angel. 

When the Demonic attacks become life threatening, the Guardians move her across the country to New Orleans to give her a chance to connect with Vampires that will be able to help her grow and harness her powers, but things quickly spiral out of control when she is introduced to an Original Vampire that is power-hungry and blood-thirsty. 

The fight for her soul explodes into a war of epic proportions, and the lives of everyone she ever cared about are now at stake.

Amazon Summary:
For four thousand years, creatus have concealed themselves from the humans who hunted them almost to extinction. Unwittingly, one creatus will endanger them all... 

As with most of his family, Derrick Ashton knows his future and what position he's destined to fill within his unique society. Everything changes, however, when he breaks one of his family's strictest laws and falls in love--with a human. 

In his quest to protect the woman he can never have, a twist of faith propels him into a new role that will cause dissension among his family and endanger the anonymity that they've spent thousands of years protecting. 

Now, he will risk everything to save the girl from humans and his own kind. The one thing he can't save her from, however...is herself. 


The Creatus Series is not your normal paranormal story...it's a realistic romantic mystery based on the myths you've heard your entire life. Prepare to believe. 

Goodreads Summary:
My name is Dahlia but I’m called a Plaguer, a person who survived the Bloody Death. When the virus first hit the world, it ravaged the human race. I thought I was lucky to survive it but survival comes at a cost. Ever since the sickness, I see things and I’m hunted for these visions. 


Some seek me out because they want to keep their secrets safe. They don’t want the world to know the truth of what they are. Others, like Dax, want my knowledge. Dax has secrets of his own but as long as he helps me evade the Dark Walkers, he can keep them. 






Goodreads Summary: (The movies coming out so I have to)
Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. 

Thomas was sure that escape from the Maze would mean freedom for him and the Gladers. But WICKED isn’t done yet. Phase Two has just begun. The Scorch. 

There are no rules. There is no help. You either make it or you die.

The Gladers have two weeks to cross through the Scorch—the most burned-out section of the world. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them. 

Friendships will be tested. Loyalties will be broken. All bets are off. 


There are others now. Their survival depends on the Gladers’ destruction—and they’re determined to survive.
