Sam was completely taken with Scott Speer’s Immortal City. Check out what she had to say about the action packed love story.
“I loved this book! It is that type of read that has a good surprise in store and has things that you would never guess. I read it in about one sitting and loved every moment of it! Immortal City will leave you wanting more. It swept me off my feet and I don’t want to come back down yet. It wasn’t what I was expecting and that was a good thing. It took me by surprise, even if it was a little predictable at times, you never knew the big things that were going to happen. Check it out! 🙂 5 out of 5 tacos!”
And Tacos are pretty strong currency around these parts. CLICK HERE to read the rest of Sam’s review.

Meredith couldn’t put Anna Banks’ Of Poseidon down!
“One of the really interesting things about this book is that it’s told from two perspectives. Except not. Emma’s chapters are in first person and Galen’s chapters are in 3rd person. Another thing that sets Of Poseidon apart from other paranormals- it’s really funny. You could never really tell that from the cover, but there were parts where I laughed out loud.
Emma and Galen were both great characters. Emma was very independent and very much her own gal. She was confused, but she also stood up for herself and was certainly not a passive character. Galen was sweet and also really funny. He’s learning to navigate the human world which means he doesn’t get some human customs. Galen’s sister and his best friend were also very entertaining.”
