Hunt the Moon (Karen Chance)

Cassandra Palmer recently defeated a God, which you'd think would buy a girl a little time off. But it doesn work that way when your new job description is Pythia - the world's chief clairvoyant. Cassie is busier than ever, trying to learn about her power, preparing for her upcoming coronation, and figuring out her relationship with the enigmatic sexy master vampire, Mircea.

But someone doesnt want Cassie to become Pythia, and is willing to go to any lengths to make sure the coronation ceremony never happens - including attacking her mother before she is even born.

I love this series! I was hoping, yet despairing, that this would be the last one. Hoping because I HATE having to wait for the next one and despairing because I love the twists and turns that Karen Chance delivers in her books. Alas, this ended in such a way that I know there will be more to come.

This book was as full of action as all the others. It was sexy, funny, and leaves you wanting more.

Both investigations take a danderous turn, with millions of dollars and many lives at stake, including that of an innocent young boy. Only by reading imprints - emotions left on certain objects - and putting herself at risk can Autumn unravel the mystery and save her friends.

I am loving this series. It was suspensful enough that I couldn't put the book down. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Shadows of Brierley : A Far Horizon (Anita Stansfield)

The journey had been long and difficult and full of mishaps— even deadly ones. But the words in Ian’s mind seemed . . . as if they encompassed all they’d endured and experienced; all their losses and sorrows. . . . You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be, Ian. It was true. He knew it was true. He was exactly where God wanted him to be, and so were those who constituted his family. . . . They were where God wanted them to be; they were on the right path, in the right place at the right time, and they would soon achieve their goal and be united with God’s people.
In volume two of her compelling new Shadows of Brierley series, renowned LDS author Anita Stansfield once again weaves a rich narrative her readers can savor. Remarkably poignant and magnificently moving, this is the story of a family whose lives are anything but ordinary . . . a family whose journey takes them from the luxuries and comforts of a privileged Scottish heritage to the raw realities of a fledgling American frontier and a people who are true to their God and their faith despite relentless persecution.
With characters that leave an indelible impression on the reader’s heart, and a series of misfortunes that threatens to break spirits and extinguish faith, A Far Horizon will prove to be a spiritually significant destination well worth the journey.

I love the way that Anita can make you feel the characters in a story. I have really enjoyed this family's story. I am hoping that there are more in this series to share the story of other members of this family.
