ARC Review for Kelly Armstrong's "Sea Of Shadows" APRIL 2014

By -
KELLEY ARMSTRONG is the author of the New York Times-bestselling books The Summoning, The Awakening, The Reckoning, and The Gathering,The Rising, as well as the internationally acclaimed Women of the Otherworld series. Armstrong lives in rural Ontario with her husband and three children. Visit her at www.kelleyarmstrong.com.

 In the Forest of the Dead, where the empire's worst criminals are exiled, twin sisters Moria and Ashyn are charged with a dangerous task. For they are the Keeper and the Seeker, and each year they must quiet the enraged souls of the damned.
Only this year, the souls will not be quieted.
Ambushed and separated by an ancient evil, the sisters' journey to find each other sends them far from the only home they've ever known. Accompanied by a stubborn imperial guard and a dashing condemned thief, the girls cross a once-empty wasteland, now filled with reawakened monsters of legend, as they travel to warn the emperor. But a terrible secret awaits them at court--one that will alter the balance of their world forever.

**************************************************

I feel so privileged to have been able to be among the chosen who got to read this wonderful ARC.  Kelly Armstrong is one of my favorite authors.  She's a brilliant writer and this new trilogy is going to be amazing!

Book One certainly is that and more!  The main characters in this book are twins Moira and Ashyn who are known as the Seeker and Keeper of Edgewood.  Like all twins they have different personalities and talents but together they are amazing.

The twins live next to the "forest of the damned".  Ominous.  I know. One sister must put the souls there to rest while the other waits for her to come back. Moira is impetuous and wants to be with her sister, she has a feeling something is not right. 

For Ashyn who is trying to put the souls to rest one thing after another goes wrong and the bad omen of that comes to fruitation when shadows begin to kill people.

If you're already a fan of Kelly Armstrong's writing then your going to love this book!  If your not, then you should be because her books are wrought with imagination and action to keep you flipping the pages.

5 STARS!!!!!

So this is our last day to party :(  It's too bad because it's been such a wonderful time!  I've loved having each and every one of you here celebrating All Hallows Eve! Our final destination is................ Waverly Hills Sanatorium, located in Louisville, Kentucky, opened in 1910 as a two-story hospital to accommodate 40 to 50 tuberculosis patients. It has since come to be considered one of the most haunted buildings in the Eastern United States. In the early 20th century, Jefferson County was severely stricken with an outbreak of tuberculosis. The original Waverly Hills building was soon home to over 140 patients. A larger hospital was needed for the overwhelming number of patients coming in, so construction of a five-story building that could hold more than 400 patients began in March 1924. The most common experience of visitors seems to be "moving shadows" or "shadow people". These are shadows that appear to have some substance - able to "

I'm pleased to introduce you all to Author Lisa Marie Rice.  She has written this HOT and Action Packed Novel. The blurb: Former Navy SEAL Max Wright is out of the SEAL Teams forever after being almost killed by an Afghani RPG. He retreats to his former XO’s beach house to lick his wounds. He wants to snarl at the world but finds it hard to snarl at his new neighbor, his XO’s beautiful goddaughter, Paige Waring, who also comes with a ridiculously likable, totally undisciplined dog. As a plant geneticist, Paige has always been focused on her work, but when she and her dog run into Max, she recognizes the lonely, shattered man behind the rugged exterior. To her mind, sexiness always comes with a white lab coat, not with acres of tanned muscle and a tough mind-set. When Paige’s work becomes the target of criminals and she’s abducted, Max springs into action. Though still terribly wounded, this tough as nails SEAL goes on his last mission-stopping at nothing to save the woman h
