I believe this is the 2rd in the Bevelstoke series, I only know of one other actual Bevelstoke book though, the 'third' is Sebastian's book - I guess since he's a cousin it counts. Anyhow it's the last for me to read but it was a fun read. It took me FOREVER to read this since I was listening to it and on maternity leave (which means I wasn't listening to it). So I can't really say much about it, it was easy to pick up after a long period of time :)

Sleeping Beauty
by Elle Lothlorien.
Hoping for a second winner this one was okay but kind of twisted in the middle. It's based on a woman Claire who has sleeping beauty syndrome which involves spells of fainting/blacking out leading up to a longer coma like state where she's semi-conscious but has complete amnesia. Cue male doctor who meets her on the street during one of her episodes and I won't give more away.
I was kind of perturbed, there are some twists and turns that were hard to relate to in this book. There are a lot of helpful characters around and while being unbelievable the overall book was good. Just had to get through the middle part. Recommended because the story was good, no where near as funny as Frog Prince but a good read if not disturbing for a bit.

The Frog Prince
by Elle Lothlorien
A new author to try out, this first book was very good if not unbelievable. It was also interesting to see what fame can do to a relationship. It was fun all the way. Following the story of an un-crowned prince of Austria (they have no monarchy) living in America who falls for a hilariously quirky american. Then all of a sudden the monarchy is re-instated and he becomes king - instant fame around the world to deal with and she's just a 'commoner' so the speculation about their relationship runs rampant. Very fun story, I was happy I found this author!

Crystal Gardens (ladies of lantern street book 1)
by Amanda Quick.
Oh how i love amanda quick books, some of my very favorites. This one is one of her paranormal romances, but not Arcane. It's a new trilogy that will follow 3 women who are investigators. The first follows Evangaline who is in danger and Lucas who decides to help her. It was short and to the point but a nice easy quick enjoyable read for sure!

A Storm of Swords (song of ice and fire book 3)
By George RR Martin.
I did not finish this book, the longest of the series, I did make it more than halfway through and could guess where it was going. Knowing that favorite characters easily die off unexpectedly I couldn't stomach another one so I quit. I rarely if ever don't finish a book, especially a good one. Maybe some day I'll come back to this but I feel like I've had enough, it was enjoyable but i don't need the rest of the series to feel satisfied.

A Clash of Kings (song of ice and fire book 2)
By George RR Martin.
The epic story continues and I really enjoyed this book althoughit ended really abruptly, luckily I had the third ready to go. New characters join the fight for power and different sides to some characters are shown.

Shadows edge
By JT Geissinger.
This is a new series called the night prowler series and is a paranormal romance. Book one follows a half breed shifter as she learns about what she is and her past. I really enjoyed the book and look forward to future ones for sure! Highly recommend!
