Synopsis:

Molly finally uncovers the truth about the strange dreams that plagued her sanity for weeks. Now destined to accept a clandestine role, Molly must find the strength and courage buried deep to push forward and succeed.

With the help of Dev, the roguish blue-eyed man of her dreams—whose dark past resurfaces to haunt him—Molly prepares to test the limits of her newly awakened powers and set right a world on the edge of being consumed by nightmares.

But when an unknown shadow stalks her every step and a shocking revelation about her ancestry comes to light, Molly may find herself forced to make a decision that could leave her alone in the dark and standing on the wrong side of a divide.

My Thoughts:

The author was very kind and sent me a copy of her novel in exchange for an honest review.

I never thought that I could fall in love with these characters and world more than I already was and oh, boy did E.J. Mellow prove me wrong! I can’t get this amazing book out of my head I just keep wanting to pick it up and reread it and go through all those amazing scenes and feelings all over again.  Molly finally uncovered the secret of her strange dreams and with the help of Dev she has to learn to control her new found powers and learn about the new strange world she is destined to save.

Gosh, this book was all I was expecting it to be and more. E.J.'s world building is amazing you feel like you can close your eyes and step into Terra to meet all the amazing characters she has created. I really liked that we got to learn more about Dev and his past, it helped me understand him so much better and fall so much harder for him. I loved Molly's character development in this book it really shows how strong she is physically and mentally. E.J. Mellow took me in an emotional roller-coaster that I still refuse to get off of. This book is so different from any book I've ever read and I absolutely love that; E.J. has created a world that I wish I could walk into and characters I wish I could pull off the pages. I love everything about this series and I can't wait to have the third book in my hands. If you have yet to pick this series up, I highly recommend it! The first book “The Dreamer" was on my top favorite reads of last year and I know this year has just begun, but “The Divide" is already on my top favorite reads of this year!

Synopsis:

Soldier… Sorcerer… Savior… Who is Vhalla Yarl?

Vhalla Yarl marches to war as property of the Solaris Empire. The Emperor counts on her to bring victory, the Senate counts on her death, and the only thing Vhalla can count on is the fight of her life. As she grapples with the ghosts of her past, new challenges in the present threaten to shatter the remnants of her fragile sanity. Will she maintain her humanity? Or will she truly become the Empire’s monster?

Fire Falling is the second book in the Air Awakens Series.

My Thoughts:

The author was kind enough to send me an ARC of her book in exchange for an honest review.

This book went beyond my expectations it was such an amazing and emotional read; five starts is not nearly enough for this novel. I loved the first one, but I adored the sequel. Vhalla is going to war and now belongs to the crown while Aldrik assures his father that she will bring victory to the Solaria Empire the Senate is sure they're sending her to her death. 

This novel had me up till three in the morning because I could not put it down and when I did finally decide to go to bed as soon as I woke up, I got right back into it; I needed to know what was going to happen and now that I'm done reading it, I wish it was February so I can dive back into the amazing world Kova has created. I can't get enough of her characters especially Vhalla and Aldrik, I loved how Aldrik opened up so much more for Vhalla and we got to see and learn so much more about him. I'm glad that we also got to see a lot of the characters that we only had a glimpse of in the first book. I love how the story is developing and how Vhalla is learning more about herself and her powers as the book progresses. This novel had me in an emotional roller-coaster and towards the end of that ride I was an emotional wreck and I didn't even care! Kova’s writing is amazing! I love this series and can't wait to see where Kova is going to take us in the next novel, which I really wish I had in my hands like yesterday. If you haven't picked this amazing series up, I highly recommend it is so good and everyone needs to read it!

Waiting On Wednesday #30

Steam

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Jill at BreakingtheSpine in which we spotlight a new release we can't wait to get our hands on.

Title: Steam

Author: Stacey Rourke

Expected Release Date: September 14, 2015

Publisher: Anchor Group Publishing 

Goodreads Link: Steam

Synopsis:

Time passes, sins forgotten.
The bodies of the victims long since rotten.

Trapped within the essence of the Headless Horseman by the guilt of slaughtering her best friend, Ireland Crane follows the father of science fiction, HG Wells, in search of freedom from the curse that binds her. Instead, she discovers even he has a hidden agenda. A dark, relentless passion to be reunited with the woman he loves has driven him to manipulate time and a murderous Horseman.

Yet heed my warning, as the Raven flies,
The Hessian will come … and you will die.

All that prevents Ireland from abandoning Wells’ twisted pursuit, or introducing him to her sword, are the undead witches haunting her. Begging for freedom from a vile succubus, the ghoulish coven leads Ireland and her crew on a journey through Salem’s sordid past. There, they learn there is more to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s history than a scarlet letter, and the secret they’ve uncovered seeks to destroy them all. 

Why I Need It!

If you have read my last two reviews by now you should know I'm completely obsessed with these series; just reading the synopsis gave me goosebumps. I'm so excited for this book! It’s going to be a bitter sweet moment I want to know how everything is going to end, but at the same time, I'm not ready to say goodbye to all the characters I have grown to love. If you have not picked this series up yet I highly recommend it! I will leave links below to the reviews of the first two. What book are you looking forward to? Leave me a comment below! I would love to hear from you!
