If You Let Me... →

This story is set after the episode 2x09 “Year’s End”. My version of what happens next…


Chapter 1: MAYBE, MAYBE

Felicity was on her way to the elevator, happy to go home. She couldn’t bear anymore gossip from her colleagues about the disappearance of Mr. Steele, the CEO of the Queen Industries.

It’s not like she didn’t love her job. She did. Felicity was very skilled with computers and retrieving information and working in the IT Department of the company was the best thing that ever could have happened to her. On several occasions, helping Mr. Steele and Oliver Queen with various tasks on finding information for them, she definitely had proven, more than once, to be a valuable asset of the technical division of the company. Maybe even the best - and she was very proud of that. But being an IT nerd doesn’t only help to get the needed information and cover all the tracks, no. It can also bring troubles. And she knew that now.

“It could be dangerous. It got one of my security guards killed.” Mr. Steele told her once in one of their meetings.

“Where is he? Is he still alive? Am I going to be the next?” Felicity knew from the start that could bring problems…big problems. But she did what she had been asked. Besides, she loved solving mysteries. She couldn’t help it, no matter how she tried.

“Maybe it’s nothing. Maybe digging all the information for Mr. Steele wasn’t the reason he’s missing now.” She sighed. “Who are you kidding, Felicity? Of course that’s the reason. Mr. Steel himself said that it could be dangerous and that they needed to be very careful.”

Damn curiosity. She knew that would bring her death someday. Probably sooner than later….

Iced: A Dani O’Malley Novel (Fever Series) By Karen Marie Moning

“Iced: A Dani O’Malley Novel” by Karen Marie Moning is the sixth book in the Fever Series and it begins where we left off with “Shadowfever” (book 5). It’s fecking fantastic. It’s dangerous, sexy and dark.

I have to admit that when I heard that Karen was writing a book with Dani as the main character, I was scared picking up this book. In the Fever Series Dani was such an annoying character. She went on my nerves on more than one occasions. But I should have trusted Karen more, because she created an amazing story.

Dani “Mega” O’Malley: 14 years old girl, but way more mature on the inside. One of the Sidhe-Seers and possessing rare talents ever seen among the Seed-Seers and the powerful “Sword of Light”. Abused by her mother and left alone when she was only 8, then used for killing. She is stubborn, intelligent and observant.
Ryodan: Hot, sexy, dangeruous and totally Alpha male who just takes what he wants! He has an interest in Dani (since at a young age (9). His men wanted her dead, because she may become a threat) and forces her to work for him (to figure out what’s freezing Fae and humans dead in their tracks). He watched/watches over her, sees her future womanly potential and wants her as his woman when she reaches it. He is very controlling when it comes to Dani.
Christian McKeltar: Becoming an Unseelie Prince, obsessed with Dani and trying to be her protector. He sees her as the woman she’s become and is willing to wait for her to grow up.
Dancer: 17 years old, super smart and Dani’s best friend (with secrets). But he might be a potential love interest for Dani in the upcoming books.
Lor: Member of the Nine. We learn a little more about him and the seven in this book. Like him, he’s a lot of humor.
Mac and Barrons: There are just glimpses of them and that’s it.

All in all, I loved and enjoyed this book so much. Once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down. It’s entertaining, fast paced and full of actions. The plot is amazing, interesting characters and well written…Karen Marie Moning doesn’t disappoint!!

I’m definitely looking forward for the next book, can’t wait…I highly recommend this!!!

Impulse (A Mageri Series Novel, Book 3) By Dannika Dark

“Impulse” by Dannika Dark is the third book in the Mageri Series. It’s a very emotional read with lots of romance, mystery and action.

In this installment a lot of things happen and we learn so much information. We learn more about the characters, their history and how that made them who they are. We also get more information about Silver’s parents and what makes Silver so special. Also we learn a lot about the “Chitah” culture.

In this book we meet new characters. Christian, a vampire. I really like him and hope to see more of him in the next book. And Page, a Relic.

Silver: She’s grown in the past year, but still she has a lot to learn. (She’s immature and acting like a child sometimes and that got me irritated and angry. You don’t want to know how many times I smacked my forehead.)

Justus: Finally we learn more about him in this book, about his past and why he acts the way he does. Oh, Justus…

Adam: Poor Adam. I feel so sorry for him. He doesn’t deserve what happened to him.

Simon: How can you not love him? He’s funny and adorable. Let’s don’t forget his sexy hilarious humor.

Logan: Hmm…Logan, Logan,…I don’t know why everyone loves him. I just can’t stand him (from the beginning, so that’s not because he’s dating Silver). His courting and protectiveness for Silver is really annoying. I think he’s the only character that I really don’t like.

But let me say that ALL “Silver and Logan” fans will be not disappointed!!

The ending is heartbreaking…made me cry.

All in all, I liked and enjoyed this book very much. Once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down. I read the whole book in just one day. Interesting characters, well written,…Dannika Dark did an amazing job!! Before reading this book, you have to read Sterling (book 1) and Twist (book 2) and for everyone who have not yet picked up the first three installments of “The Mageri Series”, read them!!

I’m definitely looking forward for the next book in this Series, I highly recommend this!!

Drink Deep & Biting Cold (A Chicagoland Vampires Novel, book 5 & 6) By Chloe Neill

So, I’ve just finished reading “Drink Deep” and “Biting Cold” (A Chicagoland Vampires Novel, Book 5 & 6) by Chloe Neill and I LOVED them…they’re really amazing!!

“Drink Deep: A Chicagoland Vampires Novel” by Chloe Neill is the 5th book in the Chicagoland Vampires Series and it starts with Merit and the “Cadogan House” still reeling from Ethans’s death. Also there is the representative of Greenwich Presidium, Frank Cabot, who was sent to evaluate the Cadogan House and making everyone’s live miserable.
Then things start getting crazy; the Lake Michigan turns black, the skies over Chicago turn red and of course the vampires are automatically blamed. So, to save the House, the vampire race and Chicago, Merit has to figure out the mystery behind the strange happenings.
The plot is interesting, entertaining, a lot darker than the previous ones and full of little twists and surprises. In this book the things move a bit slower and there is a huge hole where Ethan should be (oh my, I really missed him).
I must say that I felt like it was not really integral to the Series except for the last chapters which are amazing. Even though this isn’t my favorite in the Series, I enjoyed reading this installment.

I also liked Jonah quite a lot in this book. He’s cute and funny. Merit and Jonah end up partnering on a number of investigations and he is still trying to convince her to join the Red Guard. He seems to be a potential love interest for Merit, but don’t worry…cause Merit is still mourning Ethan and there is always Ethan in her dreams and thoughts. To be honest, I feel a little bit sorry for Jonah.

All in all, I highly recommend this book.


“Biting Cold: A Chicagoland Vampires Novel” by Chloe Neill is the 6th book in the Chicagoland Vampires Series and it starts with Merit and Ethan being on a road trip to Nebraska in hopes of stopping Mallory, who escaped after being taken into custody by The Order from getting her hands on the book “Maleficium”. Merit is torn over what to do with Mallory, who was her best friend before. Will Merit be able to save her? But Mallory isn’t the only one who wants the book. Seth wants it too.
There is also the Greenwich Presidium, not happy about Fraklin Cabot being kicked out of Cadogan House. Darius, the head of the organization, is now coming for a visit and Cadogan faces now the possibility of being ex-communicated.

After Ethan is brought back from the dead by Mallory, he is now connected to her, which raises some new issues between him and Merit. He keeps her at arm’s distance and Merit is not happy about it. And again, like Merit says “one step forward, two steps back”. I thought we’d gotten past this, but I guess I was wrong. At the same time I also can understand Ethan’s reasons, but I’m glad that Merit doesn’t give up on him…so, in the end (finally) Ethan and Merit have a reunion.

I was so happy to have Ethan back. Oh my, I missed him…I missed Merit and Ethan fighting each other over everything (I love when they do that).

In this book we finally find out what Seth is and it’s definitely what you don’t expect and the ending is woooww, loved it!! Can’t wait to see what happens next!!

I enjoyed and loved this book. It’s a fast-paced story filled with a lot of action and emotion….Chloe Neill doesn’t disappoint!!

I’m definitely looking forward for the next book in this Series, I highly recommend this to those that are already fans of the Chicagoland Vampires.!!

Look what I got a few days ago…

“Drink Deep” and “Biting Cold” (A Chicagoland Vampires Novel, book 5 & 6) by Chloe Neill.



Blood Fever (The Watchers, book 3) By Veronica Wolff

“Blood Fever: The Watchers” by Veronica Wolff is the 3rd book in the “Watchers” Series. It starts with the beginning of the fall semester, and a new crop of Acari and Trainees have descended on the Isle of Night. Bodies start turning up on the island and people are beginning to suspect that Drew or Carden are responsible for murders. Also the vampire Alcántara is gunning for Carden, even tough Drew has the proof that Carden had nothing to do with the murders. Now she has to find out who is behind all of the attacks before something bad really happens to herself or someone that she cares about…

Drew has a new roommate named Mei-Ling. She is different from the other girls as she didn’t chose this life and what the vampires had to do to get her…Drew seems having no choice but to protect her new roommate.
There is also the bond with “the Scottish vampire” Carden which is becoming harder to ignore. That keeps Drew suspicious of her own desires. She wants to make sure that not just her hormones are involved, but also her heart.

Carden is definitely one of my favorite characters. He’s not like the other vampires on the Isle. Carden is willing to give Drew what she wanted (like to sever the bond), even though he needed/wanted her.

I don’t know what to say about Alcántara. I really liked him in the first two books, but now I don’t know…I’m still surprised about his actions. Not sure whether it was because he is scared of Carden or jealous..?! Did he know about the bond..did he feel the attraction between Drew and Carden?!

This Series just keeps getting better and better with every book and “Blood Fever” is for me the best installment yet. I enjoyed and loved this book. Once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down *literally*. Let me say, that I read the whole book in just one day.
It’s entertaining, fast paced and full of action. The characters are interesting. Well written.

I’m definitely looking forward for the next book in this Series, I highly recommend this!!

Sins Of The Son (The Grigori Legacy, book 2) By Linda Poitevin

So, I’ve just finished reading “Sins Of The Son” (The Grigori Legacy, Book 2) by Linda Poitevin and I must say I enjoyed & loved it…it’s an amazing Series!!!

Can’t wait till the next book comes out!! ;) :D

“Sins of the Son (The Grigori Legacy: Book 2)” by Linda Poitevin is the second book in “The Grigori Legacy” Series, picking up three weeks after “Sins Of The Angels (book 1)” and follows the story of Angels and Fallen Angels and the Armageddon that’s on its way. The Realms of Heaven and The Fallen are reaching at a breaking point. There is a possible saviour and it’s Seth Benjamin, son of The One and Lucifer, the “Appointed”. However he has fallen for Alex and so he takes matters into his own hands and decides to give up his place in Heaven for her, but his transition doesn’t go well and he ends up on Earth as a mortal adult with amnesia and holding the fate of mankind in his hands.

When Alex sees Seth’s picture on a police bulletin she knows something went wrong and as the only mortal aware of Seth’s true nature, Alex travels to Vancouver and do what she can to help Seth regain his memory and protect him from the forces of Heaven and Hell. There she encounters Dr. Elizabeth Riley and Detective Hugh Henderson, both suspicious about how well Alex knows Seth. At the same time, Aramael, now an exiled angel, has to fulfill the orders from the Archangel Mika’el (recalled from his centuries-long exile to resume leadership) to kill Seth before he destroys the Creator’s greatest creation which brings him into conflict with his soulmate Alex..

I purchased this book immediately after I read the first one. I really like this Series and finished both books in a few days. Well-written, lots of action and twists,…the story of Detective Alexandra Jarvis, Seth and Aramael made me definitely want more. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the Series and I hope that it’s out very soon, because I need to know what’s going to happen next.

Of course you have to read book 1 before reading this and for everyone who have not yet picked up the first two installments of “The Grigori Legacy”, read them…I highly recommend this Series!!

Stalking The Others (An H&W Investigations Novel, book 4) By Jess Haines

“Stalking The Others” by Jess Haines is the fourth book in the “H&W Investigations” Series and follows straight on from “Deceived By The Others” with the betrayal of the ex-boyfriend, Chaz, and his werewolf pack. In this book you see, Shia fighting to find Chaz and take revenge on him for what he did to her and also on one of his pack, Dillon, who has possibly turned her into a were. So, with the help of her belt (we learn more about the history of it and his name is Isaac) and of the White Hats…they hunt the Others.

If you want to know what happens in this book then go pick it up! Seriously, I highly recommend this!!

I enjoyed and loved this book. Once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down! I think “STO” is one of the best of this Series, even if we don’t see Royce much here (and let me tell you, I’m a big fan of him. He’s one of my favorite characters). But don’t worry, cause our Royce does make two appearances (and what appearences he makes…oh la la) and the ending…OMG!! I waited for that I don’t know how long…since book 1?! *lol* I LOVE it and don’t let’s forget the sneak peak of the next book in the Series, “Forsaken By The Others”. It’s really a good one.

Oh, Haines…you’re killing me. Do you really think I can wait an entire year for the next book? Well, maybe I shall not think about the end. ;)

Anyway it’s an amazing action-packed read, the wait was definitely worth it…Jess Haines doesn’t disappoint!!

Stalking The Others (An H&W Investigations Novel, book 4) Signed By Jess Haines

Hello everyone, look what came in the mail a few days ago….

….YEEESSSSSSSS, “Stalking The Others” signed by Jess Haines. OMG I was (and still I am) soooo HAPPY and excited!!! :D

I mean I went to see if there was any mail and I see there is a package for me wondering who the heck would send it. *lol* Believe me, when I saw who was the sender I just stand there, frozen and staring at the package for a few seconds. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

Then I went totally crazy…

…jumping with the package in my hands like a little kid who got his favorite toy *LITERALLY*.

I think it was a good thing no one was at home…hehe…I also called my mom who is with the rest of the family on vacation, cause I needed to tell to someone about it and she was like “Oh, honey…I’m very happy for you. But tell me, how do you know the author..? Do you know her..? Why would she send a book to you?” Oh my, she started asking questions. I mean, couldn’t she just, like, be happy for me?

Well, I guess no… *lol* ;)

Anyway I smiled the entire day (I couldn’t stop smiling), can you believe that? I don’t know how to say/describe it, but it was such a fantastic feeling!!

This really means a lot to me, thank you very very very much, Jess!!! :D
