Welcome to my new blog! review of Parched

Welcome to my new blog.  Here I will be posting whatever I would like, mostly book reviews of paranormal, magic, dystopian, you name it.  I love receiving new books to "test drive".  Thank you to all of the authors who took it upon themselves to help a girl out so that I could help them get the word out about their books! Thank you to Goodreads.com First Reads for having wonderful giveaway program for new and established authors and publishers to get their books into the public eye.



The first book I want to review is Parched by Z. L. Arkadie

The information about this book from goodreads says:

 Discover a delicious new vampire novel series that will leave you yearning for more... Parched, Book ONE, A Paranormal Romance.

"Baron Ford," he says and pauses to pick apart my expression, attempting to read how familiar I am with that name. I nod stiffly to give no indication I know exactly, who that is. I'm shocked to hear it in this setting, at this stage of my life, the one far away from Cambridge, Massachusetts over five years later."

Advertising Executive, Clarity Parker thought she would never see Baron Ford again. Five years ago, she fell in love with him on their magical first date and then poof--he literally vanished into thin air. That's why she's stunned to hear his name again. After all, five years have passed since that night, and now, to add intrigue to insult, he's requested that she be exclusively assigned to his multi-million dollar account.

Clarity makes every effort to avoid Baron Ford but when he finally catches up to her he issues a warning; things are not safe for her in the city anymore, especially since the strange fog has settled over Manhattan.

Before the foggy day is over Clarity's entire world will come crashing down. Everything about her life that she thought was true is a lie! And there's no time to question her soap opera star mother or business mogul father about it because Baron was right, her life is in danger, and so is his!

One thing's for sure, from this point on, the world as Clarity Parker knows it will never be the same.


My review:
This book was a breath of fresh air. It's like nothing I've ready before. multiple realms, beauty knowledge, and passion. The darkness is out there and people have the ability to choose the dark or the light.

I would have loved to read more about the darkness and what it would have done if it captured any of them.

I loved how there was danger, and that they didn't escape being hurt, just because they were main characters. It's more "realistic" that way.

Over all a good fun read.  check it out:Parched
