Tainted (Demon Within #1)
By Ginna Moran
Genre: Paranormal Fantasy
Age category: Young Adult
Release Date: June 2016

Blurb:
Seventeen-year-old Cami Anders uses one word to describe her life: purgatory. What she doesn’t know is she’s closer to Hell than she thinks.

On the run from the demon that killed her parents, Cami struggles to find her place on the fringes of the Veiled Realm, the part of the world where demons and other creatures lurk in the shadows. Striving to find a normal life in the care of a former demon hunter, who would punch even an angel to protect her, is harder than Cami ever imagined. There’s nothing ordinary about sipping holy water like it’s her beverage of choice, having stare-downs with animalistic demons, and relying on a hunter with enough secrets to fill an ocean to keep her soul safe.

When the demon from Cami’s past arrives to collect her soul, which he believes is rightfully his, she must unravel the secrets her protector has spent the last three years keeping from her. She finds herself questioning her existence and learns that running isn’t the answer. The only way to find normalcy is if she fights for it. But is it worth the risk of losing everything, including her soul, in the end?

Shadowed Strength by Wendi Wilson

Thanks to the author and We ♥ YA Books! for a copy of this book in return for an honest review.

This was a sweet story that covered a multitude of issues facing our young adults today. Issues with self-esteem, bullying, self-control, and fear. These are put forth in a terrifying but realistic approach to the attempted rape of the main character, 16-year-old Melanie. Being overweight, she had to deal with the mean girls that will always exist to make people that do not conform to society as perfect, miserable. This affects their ability to grow into self-confident human beings.
Jeremy comes into the picture as the strong protective friend that is literally too good to be true. He comes on strong and soon he and Melanie are “couple-of-the-year” material with hormones only 16-17-year-olds seem to battle. They have times when the sexual tension is quite intense though they’ve only been together a short time.
I really enjoyed the idea behind the story and I loved the lack of dialogue tags. The characters were so well defined that I knew who was speaking without the “he said” she said” tags. That being said, I spent a lot of time thinking the actual dialogue was unrealistic.

“Don’t ignore me, baby. I want you so very much.”

With tears filling her eyes, she decided to plead with him to leave her alone. She didn’t know what else to do.

“Please, leave me alone. Please.”

“Oh, how I love it when you beg. You don’t know what it does to me.”

“Stop texting me!!!”

“My only love sprang from my only hate- Romeo and Juliet. You may think you hate me now, but you will love me, soon. We are the perfect match, you and I. I know what you need, Melanie. You need a strong hand to lead you into the throes of ecstasy. I can teach you so, so many things about the pleasures of pain. I will teach you those lessons in the very near future.”

Having said this, I am in love with the characters and I am looking forward to seeing how much Melanie will grow in strength and personality and hope she will be able to see how strong she is and not feel that Jeremy is the only reason to be strong.

Fangs and Fur begins where Blood and Beasts left off, but more confusing for the characters. If it wasn’t bad enough to find out you have new powers as a witch/ wizard or have become a vampire or turn hairy with the full moon, the core group now have to deal with the mingling of their personalities of each other. Add to that, a real live demon who has built himself a proper Hell and has trapped others that come wandering in on the blue moon. Of course, Seph’s friends feel the urge to see what is below the school and Seph and the rest of the crew have to go into savior mode to retrieve Linda and Abernathy.But there is always a twist with this crew and then who will save whom and from what?
Very quick read with a great escape into the paranormal fantasy world. I’d definitely recommend to those that like to read about teen angst and the paranormal.
