My Teaser
I wasn’t normally jumpy --- spirits were real,what else could scare me? Still my nerves were rattled. We weren’t searching for a spirit --- we were looking for a body buried five years ago.

Goodreads Synopsis
How does a girl choose between the one who steals her heart and the one who owns her soul?
Matt and Emily were created for a specific job. Raised and trained as the ultimate angel/warrior team, they are sent down to save, defend, judge and forgive, depending on the 'life' they've been assigned. What they don't realize is that the power of human emotions, such as love, anger, passion and fear can take over even the best of souls, causing them to make mistakes and follow paths that lead to confusion and heartache.
When the reason for their training is finally revealed, the angel/warrior team find themselves thrust into a world they know nothing about. Matt takes over the life of Daniel, a young man with a great deal of baggage. Emily becomes Liz, a girl living in a remote village who relies on nothing more than her own strength to survive. A violent storm erupts one night, and framed in the window of Liz's establishment is a frightening face. Let in by the soul of a Good Samaritan, the two visitors bring with them a past full of secrets that could literally change an angel's path and a warrior's plans.
From murder to redemption, this angel/warrior team must find a way to keep the faith they have in each other in a world that's ripping them apart.
My Thoughts
This was like stories in one Matt and Emily as warrior and angel trained to protect and help the people below, and Daniel and Liz their human shells. Matt and Emily where made to love each other they where destined to be together but once they are but in there human shells things change and they are faced with situations Emily/Liz is not always sure will work. But Emily/Liz is stronger then she knows and while in her human shell does a lot of good for man kind. I enjoyed this story but not sure which aspect I liked more while they are as Matt and Emily or when they are in their human shells as Daniel and Liz. While they are as Matt and Emily they kind of have a carefree life where almost everything is beautiful but has Daniel and Liz they have to work hard to get through life and have faith which at times seems like it can be hard to have.

Goodreads Synopsis
What if your life was charmed and everything in it was perfect…
Before.
This is the story of my past. Of what things were like for me when everything was normal. Of what every teenager’s life is like. Clothes. Parties. Boys and summer vacation. What’s so wrong with that? I liked it. I was happy.
Until things changed. I changed.
I didn’t know that lies and secrets were about to take over my existence. I didn’t know there was someone out there, someone meant just for me. I didn’t know that I was about to go on a journey, a journey that would lead me to the girl I am today.
This is the beginning of the worst year of my life. Would I go back and change things? Erase everything that has happened to go back into these moments?
Not a chance.
This is a story of before.
My Thoughts
I enjoyed this read I just had to scream a little at the end because well Cambria left me hanging. I need to know what happens I am so glad I already have the official book 1 in the Heven and Hell Series Masquerade. On my Kindle ready to be read.
This is a story of Light and Dark that is for sure we have Heven the light a regular teenage girl living a normal life. Heven’s biggest concern is whether her crush likes her. She is oblivious that she has a secret admirer. Sam the dark he lives in the shadows and answers to the monster. Sam has promised to stay away from Heven and when he didn’t there was a price to be paid. Cambria has written a beautiful short story that gives just enough information to make sure that you want to stay along for the ride. Cambria’s words are written so beautifully and flow so well. And I am looking forward to reading more in this world of Heven and Hell that Cambria has written.

A Diamond In My Heart by Lorena Angell
Friday, March 30, 2012
Title: A Diamond In My Heart
Author: Lorena Angell
Series: Unaltered ( Book 2 )
Publisher: Self Published
Release Date: January 2012
Edition: Kindle
Source: Author in exchange for honest review
Genre: YA/Supernatural
Rating:
Goodreads Synopsis
Book two in ‘The Unaltered’ series. At age sixteen, Calli Courtnae learned that superhuman abilities and powers existed in her ordinary world yet had remained hidden for thousands of years. She became one of them through the course of events controlled by Maetha the Immortal and is now faced with trying to live in her ordinary world while secretly possessing extraordinary powers. Her task is complicated by the emergence of an unknown power in one of Calli’s classmates which requires her to befriend the boy in an effort to help him use his powers for good and not just for his own self-gratification.
Calli is able to read minds, view the future, heal, and locate other Diamond Bearers she didn't know existed and in doing so she'll learn of traitors who've sided with the US Government and who threaten her new world and the lives of those she loves. She'll question her own loyalties and friendships, and ultimately be faced with the inevitable--the reuniting of the diamond shards.
My Thoughts
I really enjoyed this one book one was good but this one was awesome. Calli really grew up in this one her character was astounding in this one she went from a backwords yet smart ass girl to a true heroine in this installment. Calli learned to control her abilities and emotions so much more in this book. Lorena you have left me wanting to read more in the Unaltered Series. Lorena has created a world that is truly believable. Her writing is smooth and flowing in this book.
Calli soon discovers that there are other abilities out there that the other clans were not aware of. When she met Brand she realized that there was something different about him. That is when she and others become aware of this new ability. Brand is a Repeater he can change things as long as it is within in a two minute time frame. That ability aids him a lot for he has a thing for girls which lands him in numerous fights so being able to repeat he walks away unscathed but it does take a toll on him.
Brand’s ability also aids Calli and the other clans against Justin a rogue runner from The Runners Clan who is power hunger. He wants to possess the diamond he is unaware of the true power and that it will lead to his death.
