Viviana's Review:

I LOVE this series!! From the first installment "Sterling", the story captivated me and I fell for each of the characters and all for different reasons. Uhm, just in case you didn't know it, Logan is mine!! LOL!  A few friends that have read the series each have claimed either Justus, Simon, Logan, Christian, etc. well you get the idea.

About the Author


This is the segment where you learn a little more about who I am, so here's what I can tell you:  I drink copious amounts of vitamin water placed precariously close to my laptop while writing. These are two healthy habits I have no intention of breaking. I'm a transplant living in the south, but I was born in the 70's to a military dad who moved us around the world.

When I'm not writing (which is all the time), I'm hunting down Indie music, watching movies, reading, eating Tex-Mex, discovering new ways to humiliate myself bowling, and burning up my laptop battery on the Internet. I have a relaxed, easy-going personality and don't like drama. I live with a cat who thinks she is a dog, or a goat (she eats plastic, so I'm not sure which).

Throughout my life, I've had insomnia. Counting sheep never worked and eventually I would imagine those sheep were the sole source of food after an apocalyptic battle where only thousands survived. I made up stories in a futile attempt to bore myself to sleep. The problem was, I got so wrapped up in my "head stories" that I would continue them through the following nights, changing it up each time to make it more exciting. Eventually, I started writing my ideas down - creating short stories, and then I discovered my love for poetry.

It's almost embarrassing how many spiral notebooks and stacks of paper I have of poetry and lyrics.

Another passion: digital art. I design all my book covers, marketing, and series art. I'm a very visual person and pursued photography as an avid hobby for many years.

I am not a YA author (I feel like I have to state this only because I've had a few people ask), but I think it's wonderful there are so many books available to teens in Urban Fantasy and Paranormal.

I am finally doing what I have always wanted to do: giving my characters a pulse through writing full time. I focus on adult urban fantasy romance, but I don't like labels and I enjoy blending genres to break out of the confines of predictability.

But it's what I love to do.

Their conviction for each other will be put to the ultimate test when an old nemesis reappears and flips her world upside down. Will Logan be able to tame the animal within, or will he succumb to his impulsive nature?

Book Review (Novella): Closer by Dannika Dark

Closer
By Dannika Dark 

Synopsis: 

Kane never believed in things like fate or karma. Not until the night he took a life.

Within the human world is a secret society of immortals and gifted supernaturals. Kane is one of them—a Sensor who experiences emotional energy through touch. But despite his good looks and easy-going personality, Kane lives a solitary life. Unlike other Sensors, he is unnaturally hypersensitive.

Touch brings pain.

Fate throws a curveball when a woman’s life is placed in his hands. Kane is suddenly faced with a difficult decision, each with its own moral consequence, and time is not on his side.

Could she be his salvation, or his ruination?

Viviana's Review:

Book Review: Impulse by Dannika Dark

Impulse
(Mageri Series, Bk 3)

By Dannika Dark

Synopsis:

Almost one year ago, a Mage attacked Silver and changed the course of her destiny.
Immortals exist, and now she is one of them.

Within the dark and supernatural city of Cognito, Silver is living under the watchful eye of her Ghuardian and dating her mortal enemy. Neither man can protect her from a dark secret, one buried within the contents of a box. As rival factions struggle to gain control, she finds herself in the middle of a centuries-old feud that threatens to drive a wedge between her and Logan Cross, the man who intends to seduce her.

In an explosive turn of events, one life is saved and another is forever altered. Can Silver trust those around her, or are they hiding a dark secret of their own?

Available for purchase at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Viviana's Review: 
I read "Sterling" (bk #1) and "Twist" (bk #2) in the Mageri Series back to back and had to suffer the wait for "Impulse" the third installment. Definitely worth the wait! Dannika has outdone herself. Each book was better than the previous one and "Impulse" was fantastic!!

Book Review: "Twist" by Dannika Dark

Twist
(The Mageri Series, Bk 2)
By Dannika Dark

Synopsis: 

Months after moving to the mysterious city of Cognito, Silver is developing her gifts as a Mage, and learning how to live under new laws. Forced to give up her old life, she must now live in secret among the humans. She finally has hope of leading an ordinary life... until Logan Cross walks into it.

Their chance meeting leads her close to discovering the identity of the nameless Mage who once stole her light and discovered the unique power she possesses. That knowledge poses an unimaginable threat to Silver, fueling her search to find out who he is, before he finds her first.

Lives are at stake. Truths are revealed. And an unexpected passion ignites.

Goodreads
Available for purchase at Amazon and Barnes & Nobles.

Viviana's Review: 
"Twist" is the second installment in the "Mageri Series". Silver continues her learnings of the Mageri world and the Breed worlds. She has also continued with her self-defense training and getting to know her Ghuardian, Justus and exactly how the Learner-Ghuardian relationship.

Guest Post & Giveaway: Dannika Dark



Writing a Great Sex Scene

This post was suggested by a friend who hadn't had her morning coffee. I may be able to tell you this from an author and a reader perspective. But mostly, it’s a matter of personal opinion.

And I hope that my mother never sees this post.

Book Review: Sterling by Dannika Dark

Sterling
(Mageri Series, Book #1)
By Dannika Dark

Synopsis: 
Zoë Merrick lived a less than ordinary life, until late one night, she was brutally attacked and left for dead. 

A man named Adam spotted her running down the road covered in blood, and took her under his wing. Zoë didn't just survive that night - she underwent a physical transformation and acquired strange new abilities. Severed from her old life, her frustration grows as she tries to comprehend what's happening to her.

Serendipity leads her to Justus. He's handsome, arrogant, and not entirely human. Zoë learns the truth about what she is, and just how dangerous their world is for a young Mage. The only way she will understand her power is by putting her trust in this man, and accepting the protection he offers.

When her immortal freedom is threatened by the one man who has a right to claim her, Zoë learns the price of freedom...and the value of loyalty.

Viviana's Review: 
This book kept popping up on Amazon on my “suggestion” list. It also came up a lot in the book club that I’m a part of and they all raved about it. So I bought it and began to read it the day of purchase. OMG!! I devoured the book and immediately purchased the second book "Twist" (review to come soon)!

Falling in Love with Books Hop

I'm a bookaholic, but you knew this already!! So when this blog hop came along I "hopped" on it!! A very special thanks to our two hotestes Readers Confession and Toni Aleo!! 
Hehehehe (sorry, couldn't help it!). I attended the RT Convention (Chicago) in April 2012 and had the opportunity to meet numerous authors and fellow book lovers. Needless to say, I've fallen in love with many books/stories since then.

Dannika Dark's Mageri Series



The Mageri Series

The fabulous Dannika Dark, author of the "Mageri Series"  has provided us with the gorgeous Justus's character profile for the Blog Launch Party! But wait, there's more! She's also giving away a set of Mageri Key Chains (more info on that later!)! 

However, before we get to Justus (sorry, promise this will be quick), book 3 in the series "Impulse" will be released soon! I know fans of the series cannot wait and if you haven't read the first two books, you have time so hurry the heck up!! With that said, I had asked Dannika if she would share a snippet of "Impulse" with all of us. 

 Impulse Snippet: 
“I’m still mad at you,” I said in an unconvincing voice.
“Fire should never be tempered in a female because that’s what fuels her passion, causing it to ignite.” He lifted my chin with his hand and stroked his thumb gently across my lips. “All a male can hope for is to be consumed by it until there is nothing left of him.”


 Now onto Justus.................
