Rain's Reveiws

Focus (The Crescent Chronicles) 

By Alyssa Rose Ivy

 Freshman year of college is hard even when you're not tied to the future king of a supernatural society.

Allie dives into college head first with Hailey as her roommate and the city of New Orleans as her backyard. As things within The Society heat up, Allie realizes that whether she’s with Levi or not, she's in far too deep to turn back.

Focus is the second installment in "The Crescent Chronicles" and it is just as good as the first. It is a really fast pace novel and I could NOT put it down. This book is 387 p. so it is over 100 p. longer than flight (book one of the trilogy). I read this book in two days and I was so upset when it was over! I don't want to pre-blow your mind too much so here's the basics. 

Levi and Allie still trying to figure out their relationship. Allie is still trying to figure out all the stuff about the society and getting through her first year of college.  It is a whirlwind of emotions and events and she doesn't know how to handle it all.

Allie is still her stubborn and lovable self. She is handling everything in a realistic fashion and you can really relate to her! Levi is still the smoking hawt and persistent guy he was in the first book and you can't help but root for him! Hailey is still Hailey and the playful banter between all the characters keps it funny and lifelike. I cannot wait for found to be released July 16th.

Teaser Tuesday

The Understorey by Fisher Amelie

 Description off Goodreads:

“Let’s start this place on nonexistent fire.” 

“Promise.” She sucked in an excited breath. 

We closed our eyes and I placed my feverish mouth to hers. Immediately, violent, zealous flashes of shimmering flames climbed to the furthest point, trailed like rain down the pitched ceiling and spilled down the walls, gathering at their feet, pools of fervent, bubbling, silvery liquid electricity, before evaporating into nothing.

Elliott Gray is incomplete, scrambling through the dark on his hands and knees, blindly feeling for the switch it would take to bring the peace he's forever been searching for. 

Julia Jacobs is unhappy, missing a noticeable piece of her soul, a naked canvas with vivid paints at her disposal but no brush to assemble the vision.

At a young age, courtesy of an unknowing Elliott Gray, Julia tastes the burn of heartache and since then, has silently vowed to her heart that it would never be susceptible to such pain again but when Julia and Elliott discover they share a supernatural connection that's never been revealed before, Elliott makes it his life's goal to convince her they are fated. He knows, if she only gave him but one chance to prove himself, she would not be afraid but when Elliott's best friend Jesse Thomas turns out to be much more than meets the eye, it's all Elliott can do to hold on to his new love, while attempting to survive an enormous threat on their future.

~~Here is your Tuesday Teaser~~

She grabbed both of my hands and leaned into my ear, "I am embarrassed to say this too loudly or look into your face for that matter, but," She whispered, "will you kiss me again, the way did that night in your truck? For the next two hours and twenty- nine minutes? I promise we won't take it too far." 

My throat began to burn for her and my heart had already started to race. My next move was the answer she was waiting for. I kissed her lips softly and peeled her coat off her shoulders. I continued to kiss her and did the same with my own jacket....

Wait For You

“Yes,” I whispered.

He didn’t say anything again for another long moment. Instead, his eyes moved over my face in a slow perusal. “You okay?”

I nodded.

His hand moved down and his thumb brushed the edge of my lip. I sucked in a sharp breath, becoming hyperaware of how close we were. Strange, I realized. I had wanted something to say to make the night disappear, but it wasn’t necessarily words I needed.

A touch, a single look was just as powerful.

I wasn’t thinking of anything but him in that moment. There was a freedom in that I hadn’t experienced before.

His gaze was centered on my lips and as soon as I realized that, my heart kicked into overdrive, sending my blood rushing. There wasn’t a lot of space separating us. All he’d have to do is move two or three inches and that would be it.

Then his gaze flicked up.

Cam closed the little distance between us before I had a chance to move away. My heart leapt in my chest at the thought that he might kiss me, that I was literally seconds away from my first kiss, and I had no idea what to do. My mouth felt funny after all the crying and I was sitting on a toilet, which probably wasn’t the most romantic of all settings.

But he didn’t kiss me. He pressed his forehead against mine and let out a ragged breath that smelled of mint. “You drive me insane sometimes.”

I drove myself insane. “Sorry?”

Cam pulled back a little, his eyes searching my face. “Don’t run off like that again, okay? I was worried ****less when I couldn’t find you and no one knew where you were.”

I almost apologized again, but apologies were really like wishes. There were an abundance of both in my life and neither really made a difference. So I did something I don’t even think I’d ever done, not even before.

Scooting forward, I pressed my lips to his smooth cheek. His eyes widened, and I inched back. Under his intense stare, I wondered if that had been the wrong thing to do.

Cam started to move forward and then stopped. His eyes were so large and they were truly beautiful, unique in the way the hue seemed to deepen and darken. “Avery?”

I swallowed. “Cam?”

He didn’t give me his lopsided grin or show off his one dimple. “Go out on a date with me.”
