"Prentiss Puckett is certain of three things:
-Graduation is two weeks away.
-Summer only gets hotter in south Mississippi.
-She’s getting a job with air-conditioning.

She did not expect to be kidnapped walking to work.
 And she never expected to become a hero."

As Prentiss' learns more of the captivity situation, and the motives and reasoning for everything...something tragic happens and she starts further questioning whether to trust Gallatin or not.

Well dagum...I wanted to hate Gallatin. TeamJackson right?

As much as we want to hate Gallatin for who he is and everything that has happened, it's kind of hard when he's so different from what we expected. 

While Prentiss deals with whether or not to trust Gallatin or if she should believe everything he has told her, another tragedy hits, causing heart ache but also more secrets to surface and Prentiss starts to put the puzzle pieces together.

Can Prentiss figure everything out? Can she save her friends and family? Where will her heart lead her?

We were so glad to read Jackson. We were finally able to grab hold of the Romance aspect that everyone was patiently waiting for in the Behind the Stars Series. This series s just keep getting better and better

PS: Meagan wanted to cry ;)

When we meet back up with Prentiss in part two, not much has changed. She still plans to find a way out, but now her tactics have changed. Knowing she can't just run, Prentiss tries to get help from a few people, but only some are willing. Braxton tries to talk her out of it, but of course when you tell someone they can't do something, they have to try proving you wrong. Even if it means she dies trying.

When Prentiss over hears things that she knows she shouldn't, she decides the easiest way to find information out about where they are and why, is to befriend someone. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer? She willingly did more work around the place, and Gallatin was not who she expected to get close to. 

We gave the first volume of this book 3.5 stars because we felt disconnected from the characters and confused. But as we began to read Learning to Spy, volume 2, things started to become a little more clear. Not only did we learn more about Prentiss and life before captivity, but we start getting bits of information as to what the heck is going on. Personally, we think that the friendship is going to progress into something more. When Prentiss and Gallatin find themselves in an awkward and potentially dangerous position with a pregnant cow giving birth, we see a few aspects of Gallatins willingness to befriend and protect Prentiss

"We can do it,' Gallatin said. "I'll protect you."

Leigh Talbert Moore has continued to keep us on our toes. As the plot beings to unfold, and we edge closer to the next book, we look forward to the answers to the questions in our heads: Who are these people? Where the hell is Jackson? And does Prentiss fall for Gallatin (or vice versa)?

I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads in exchange for an honest review.

"What's a witch supposed to do when she learns that she isn't just a witch? Will Selena use her powers for good? Or will she embrace the part of herself that truly is wicked by nature?  

Until now, life for Selena Barnes has been fairly easy. Aside from the constant stares and gossip of a few busy-bodies in town, her upcoming wedding to a mortal was all she cared about. When she finds out that no one, not even herself, is who they claim to be, she embraces the powers that she'd buried deep inside, unleashing a catalyst of dire consequences.  

When secret after secret is revealed, Selena finds herself racing against time to save her friends, her soul mate, her town and to keep her powers from falling into the wrong hands. Hands that belong to someone she's never met. Someone with whom she shares more than she could have ever imagined. Someone who has been waiting twenty-five years for these events to unfold.

"My name is Selena Barnes and I'm here to tell you that life as a witch isn't all spells and sparkle.
Especially when you’re a high-strung witch who gave up her powers in order to marry a mortal man who just happens to be the most influential and hated guy in all of Salem Ridge.
Try planning a wedding without using magic and you’ll understand why I was already teetering on the edge of my sanity.
Finding out that my fiance is actually a scum-sucking demon who's been trying to get his hands on my magic for a year and realizing that I've been framed for murder was just the tip of the broom!
Long story short: I found out that I’m more than just a spell-casting, potion-making witch. Supposedly, I’m destined to unleash Hell on Earth for my father and his minions.
Oh, and did I mention that in between clearing my name, kicking serious demon ass and catering to my familiar's every whim, I needed to find the time to mate with a sexy werewolf so that I could save the world?  

What could possibly go wrong?"

I am trying to broaden my reading list, and I'm glad I stepped outside of the "smutty love" stories. Wicked by Nature, by Madison Sevier as a paranormal romance, full of witches, demons, and wolves. Yes I said it, but don't leave my review yet..this is not your typical paranormal book. 

We meet Selena Barnes, a young woman that comes from a long line of witches. When her parents were killed in a magical accident, she surrendered her powers and kept them a secret from her fiance’, Shawn Richardson.

In the little town of Salem Ridge, Selena is a outcast for surrendering her powers. Her fiance, Shawn, is in a high financial position in the town, and isn't all he makes out to be. The entire town thinks Selena and foolish, and she can't figure out why so many people do not like Shawn.

Shawn is out of town on business, and Selena is trying to pull together the finishing touches of their soon to be wedding, when Selena receives an email that will change her entire view of everything. Selena finally learns what her family and the entire town sees in Shawn, as well as a few other family secrets. Selena even falls in love with someone from her past, her "soul mate."

When Selena comes face to face with the Elder Council, she has to decide, is she Wicked by Nature?

 I received this book through good reads, and I was hesitant to read it. I've never really thought that I would enjoy a "paranormal" book about wolves, witches, vampires, etc...so the book kinda sat on my shelf for a few weeks. Once I got into the book, it got more interesting. I really liked was Selena's relationship with her familiar, her cat is funny and so protective of Selena. The banter between the two, and the banter between the cat and the underlying characters was hilarious.

"Starting over sucks.

When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I’d pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring… until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up.

And then he opened his mouth.

Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something… unexpected happens.

The hot alien living next door marks me.

You heard me. Alien. Turns out Daemon and his sister have a galaxy of enemies wanting to steal their abilities, and Daemon’s touch has me lit up like the Vegas Strip. The only way I’m getting out of this alive is by sticking close to Daemon until my alien mojo fades.

If I don’t kill him first, that is."

 Welcome to Earth.

Obsidian, by Jennifer L. Armentrout is not what I expected.
