 I was so excited to start reading..
at the same time scared of the final book for this series. Especially how it ended in The Forgotten Mountain.
 So I started, and I was so not prepared for the feels.
Heather, you did it again and again. You spun us into your web until we are trapped and helplessly lost in The Lost Codex. 

I was teary-eyed while reading. I missed all the characters and reading about their journey in this book was a bittersweet reunion. So many has changed yet the resilience was there, barely, but striving to grow. 

The first parts were all sweet and blissful but that ended quickly. And I'm just so pissed at Piper , the13th Wise Woman and every villain in this series. The tone was mainly dark with all the heartaches. The villains were so good that you fear for the characters you've come to love. But knowing Alice, you wouldn't lose hope but darn it coz they are being challenged one after the other. One by one the Society is crumbling and they have so little to do anything about it. 


Alice is still my favorite character. She is one tough cookie and we'll be seeing more of it here. Grymsdyke is also a favorite character. I would love to have him as a bodyguard. 

There has been alternating POVs from the previous novels and we'll see more of it here. Alice and Finn alternates, which gave us visibility on the state of one another, the after effects of recent events. 

I've loved the story and characters from the moment I started The Collector's Society and I'll say it again; Heather Lyons is one great storyteller and I can't wait for more. This was one hell of a fall from the rabbit hole and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'll surely miss the gang. 

Book Review: Stealing Rose by Monica Murphy







Title: Stealing Rose (The Fowler Sisters #2)
Author: Monica Murphy
Publication Date: March 03, 2015
Genre: New Adult, Erotica
e-ARC from Netgalley


iBooks | Amazon | B&N | KOBO

People say the youngest child has it easy, but nothing can be further from the truth. Unlike my two sisters, Violet and Lily, I’m never in the limelight. I just work my butt off for Fleur Cosmetics and get little to no thanks for it. I've been pushed too far one too many times, and I’m finally brave enough to do something about it.

Maybe my new found courage has something to do with the amazing pink and white diamond necklace I wear to the party in Cannes. The instant those dazzling heirloom jewels touch my skin, they excite some deep, aching need inside. And when that guy—that totally gorgeous guy—locks eyes with me, I know this nice girl is going to be naughty.


For once it’s my turn. My turn to say no to my father, to outshine my sisters, to walk away from it all—straight into the arms of a mysterious stranger. But what if Caden is much more than I bargained for? Sure, he makes me feel sexy and free in a way I never have before, but there’s something else I can’t quite place—something dangerous. Maybe our “chance” meeting wasn't so random. Maybe he was looking for me for a reason. Whatever his motive, there’s no going back now.


And maybe I don’t want to



Advance praise for Stealing Rose
“Prepare to have your heart stolen! Rose and Caden's story crackles and sizzles right to the swoony end.”—New York Times bestselling author Katy Evans

The rich girl and the poor boy! The good girl and the bad boy, the very bad boy. Well one thing for sure, this is not your average hot mess love story.

Rose, the always good and obedient daughter, follows all the rules, but one day she got tired of that life. All Rose wanted was to be free, experience life and let loose, then she met Caden, the crazy and goal-oriented thief. All it takes is one necklace to change their lives forever.

Stealing Rose is a sexy and intense novel of two people searching for life. It is about getting vengeance for the people you love, the unfamiliar bond with the family, being lost, and of course, finding love. The damaged hero and heroin finding one another to survive life. The chemistry between Rose and Caden is too strong that really spice up the story. I really liked how it ended, I mean, with the reconciliation of all the characters, you can feel their love for each other.

This book proves that everyone in this world can change, no matter how terrible the things you did in the past, there will always be a reason for change. 

Well, if you loved the story of Violet and Ryder, you better read Stealing Rose, because they kinda intervene the story of Rose and Caden! Oh man, you seriously have to read it. Violet and Rose, the perfect sisters finding love with troubled men, well, up next is Taming Lily (Fowler Sisters #3). What's been up to the hot mess?

"She pushed her weapon at me but she was too slow. I grabbed her arm and with one jerk broke the bone, a splinter tearing through her flesh."

Axelia fought an army of vampires and survived. Once fated as the destroyer of the vampire race, she is now welcomed into the immortal empire and revered as a god.

But instead of relishing her victory, she faces a dangerous new world and an empire at war. Axelia is thrust into the position of supreme vampire and caught in the crossfire of battle. To make matters worse, her role alienates Lucas, the one vampire that she trusts.

Her power spawns evil enemies. And they know how to get to her — by hurting those whom she loves most.




At last! The most awaited sequel of What Kills Me, I Am Forever, is finally here! A sequel where we can delve into the relationship of Lucas and Zee and to also find out what will happen to her!

Now that Zee isn’t being hunted down and risk getting killed that could result to extinguishing the vampire race, she now has to discover how to continue without her family and possibly without Lucas. Zee will undergo self-discovery; learn which person are a friend and a foe. 

This book is definitely worth the wait. I devoured this book like a person stranded in a dessert for days. It is as great as the first one and now I want the third! Not to mention how the story ended. Channing always seems to make the readers crave for more.

Zee and Lucas’s romance wasn’t expected from the first book and with all the bloody happenings with Zee’s life; their relationship wasn’t explored much. And so, I loved how Lucas always seems to see Zee for the first time in the second novel. She’s the only one holding him to this world.

Did I mention that Zee is a complete bad-ass?  1000 year-old vampires seems like cockroaches to Zee.  Need I say more? Just read the line below to know how she could kick ass.

“I spin behind him, gripped his head, and twisted it like a bottle cap.”

Wynne Channing created the perfect blend of action and romance in I Am Forever. She masterfully shaped this world of action-filled scenes with romance and comical characters mixed in. Sprinkle in a bit of drama to complete the impeccable sequel to What Kills Me. So, vampire fans that wants a bad-ass invincible heroine? Then this is a must read for you!




"I feel something for you. But judging by that blank stare you’re giving me, you probably don’t feel the same way."

"What’s with these guys pretending to kiss me and then delivering bad news? And why am I so stupid that I keep falling for it?"

“I don’t read minds. Listen, I know it sounds crazy. But—”
“Did you see anyone’s dirty secrets?” San blurted.
“What? No,” I said.
“Because, my lady, I can explain. Fantasies are very healthy—“
