Kerrelyn Sparks is one of those authors that when you pick up one of her books, you know ahead of time that you are going to enjoy your romantic journey. This is another you can add to the collection. I received a free Advanced Reader Copy from the publisher to read before hand and I squealed like a little girl because the whole idea of this book was so neat to me. This book had me sucked in and I could not stop reading. I am still packing for our family move trip to North Carolina next week, and I was up til 3:30 am reading. I was just so hooked.

The humor was fantastic and had me belting out laughs at the responses from the one nun, she is a nutter. The heroine is strong, but a little young and naïve as she should be for her age. Um,  PIRATE SORCERER, hello ... how cool does that sound? The characters are strong and it is all taking place in a world that you can feel is progressively developing throughout the book. Connections are being made in different countries that have been at war, and there is like a super villain about.

This is actually the second book in this series, The Embraced, which is all about the special individuals who are born on the twin moon eclipse and have special powers. You can read this book without reading the first in the series and be able to follow along with the main chain of events. I didn't read the first book, but I am going to once I catch up on my list of to-read books. I love the idea of the fortune telling stones, and how they can link to the rest of the series. Like the next book, you are totally sucked into wanting to read that after this one.

This fantasy world has elves, dragons, pirates and evil murdering kings. Sounds accurately like a fantasy world. I did wish that there was more world building, but again I did read an ARC version so maybe that had changed. I wanted to feel more immersed into the world, but I was fully invested into the characters so in my opinion that balances out. That's my only negative feedback, I enjoyed everything else about this book.

Moving Soon - Not the Blog, Just My Family

Alright guys, I have not been slacking. Well, if you were to say that by not having time to read, or write in my blog... then yes I have been slacking. But in all fairness I have been cleaning, packing, and trying to maintain the kids. So good thing Ive been going for about a week and have two weeks left. 

One of the benefits to growing up a military brat is that you are use to packing and moving. You know how you want to pack things because you know how you want to unpack them. That is actually the most important part in my opinion. If you just pack with things like you currently have them, or in the most obvious grouping, that might not work. You need to pack with how you want to find what you need. So packing begins, and I have a few weeks to get our family of four moved.

My husband got offered a job at an airport that is a pay raise, and will be a good start to get back on our feet. We are moving to North Carolina to my mother in laws to help us catch up on some major post-baby debt. One of the reasons that I am super thankful for the ARC's that I receive from publishers since books are a wonderful relief from stress, but very pricey. We are lucky that we can move in down there. I say down because we currently are in Pennsylvania where my family is from. We really are not a fan of where we are living in PA. The weather sucks, the people are ignorant and rude, and just overall grumpy. 

So this is just an overall update, and explanation for what's going on with our little family. Also its the reason why I won't be able to read as much. :(
