EXCERPT:
"That
day I knew for sure. I'd lost control of my tears then. They fell in huge,
mocking drops. I stared at Joshua through those bitter tears, my heart missing
beats as I tried to remember to breathe. I finally knew what the glow meant. I
was a freak and Joshua was going to die."

Bryn Halbrook had always seen the glow. But it is
only when her best friend dies that she discovers the meaning of those
beautiful golden auras - Death. Alone, lost in the foster system, she struggles
to understand who she is and why she was cursed with the ability to see the
soon-to-be-dead.
The new foster kid, Aidan, isn't helping any. Mr.
Perfect seems to fit in no matter what, making her feel even more pathetic. But
when his affections turn to her, Bryn finds him hard to resist. Impossible
actually. A mystery himself, Aidan disappears, leaving behind a broken heart
and a mysterious book that suggests Bryn might not be entirely human. Bryn
stands at the threshold of a journey of discovery. Will destiny help her find
herself, find her purpose and her place in a world in which she'd never
belonged?

I was given a copy of Dead Radiance by Love Romance books for an honest review. I thought this book was fascinating. It was different and I love a book that can keep me waiting for what’s going to happen next. I really enjoyed this read. It was good. Bryn hasn’t had it easy. When her best friend dies, she discovers death. She is in foster care and is struggling to understand why she can see the soon to be dead. I would be pretty scared too. Then there’s a new foster kid Aidan and he is making things more difficult for Bryn. Bryn is trying to find her way. Will she make it? Will things turn out alright? Well you will have to read the story to find out. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

EXCERPT:
“For
a shadow of a second, I stared into his eyes, shocked, horrified he'd do such a
thing to me. A thousand fears filtered through my frigid brain. Was he in
cahoots with Loki? Or was he Freya's dog all along?
It
took an eternity for him to blink. Even longer for me to blink.
Then
Fenrir pushed me and I fell off the cliff, into pure white oblivion.”
DESCRIPTION:
Valkyrie-in-training Bryn Halbrook just can't
catch a break. With her boyfriend stuck in Hel and the taunting laughter of
Loki still ringing in her ears, she struggles to concentrate on her training
and duties in Odin's realm. The last thing she expects or wants is more
adventure—but then treachery, a shocking abduction and a chilling discovery
send her forth on another perilous, globe-hopping mission.
As the ultimate battle, Ragnarok, draws closer,
it's a race against time for Bryn, Fenrir and their team to discover who
kidnapped her foster brother from the halls of Asgard and what's causing the
mysterious deaths of so many of Odin's chosen warriors.
In the exciting sequel to DEAD RADIANCE, Bryn
encounters dwarfs and dragons, new friends and old foes—but the worst enemy of
all may be the person she trusts most!
I was given a copy of Dead Embers by Love Romance books for an honest review. I liked the continuing story of Bryn and her Valkyrie in training. But boy she has a tough time. Bryn’s boyfriend is stuck in hell. Bryn is in Odin’s realm trying to focus on her training and duties. She gets herself caught up in an adventure. There is a lot that goes on in this book. There was some stuff that caught be totally off guard. I really enjoyed this book. I was excited to see how Bryn’s story turned out. I can’t wait for the next book. I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars!
