Amazon / iBooks / Nook /  Kobo

               Mason Wade had fought death, and to some degree he had won. The fire of a phoenix coursing through his veins made him feel like hell. Each of his new senses forced him to reach into a past he knew was better left alone, yet he was grounded in the primal desire to protect Indie, to be a lethal supernatural guardian. The discovery of a secret library within the Falcon Manor landed River Sabine, the very girl who first stole his heart and left him in his darkest hour, front and center in his life. Mason and the others discovering how closely his past is connected to the paranormal war at hand have only scratched the surface of how deeply entwined those who lurk at the Falcon Manor are; a painful lesson Indie is forced to learn as she fights to rise to her role as the Queen of the Veil and protect the hearts of her own. An impossible decision must be made; no matter the choice lovers will divide. The only real question is whose sacrifice will be for the greater good.

               In life he haunted her...in death she haunted him. Love is eternal... Weeks away from her twenty-first birthday, the date where she would assume control over her family legacy, a night terror robs Indie of the balance she was clinging to. Like the dream she had before she lost her family, it predicts a fatal catastrophe on the horizon. The fight between life and death, good and evil, began the moment her thundering heart awoke her. Everything changed after that dream. The one thing that keeps her curse at bay is stolen, and then her enigmatic boy arrives in the flesh. Face to face with her fiery born-again lover Indie realizes that the only way she can prevent the tragedy before her is to surrender everything she was, is, and could be. Can she bend the laws of nature and fight the improbability that fire and ice could ever be one? As far as Indie is concerned, there is not a myth, spoken fate, or curse that is stronger than her stubborn desire to have it all ... including him.

Not knowing hers, she began a career in the fast paced world of business. Raising a young family, and competing to rise higher in that field would drive some to the point of insanity, but she always found a moment of escape in a passing daydream. Her imagination would take her to places she’d never been, introduce her to people she’s never known. Insight, her debuting novel, is a result of that powerful imagination.

Insight (Insight #1 Web of Hearts and Souls #1) Some say that dreams are the doorway to the soul. Willow Haywood is no stranger to that doorway. Each night she shares a blissful, silent dream with a stunning blue-eyed boy. With each new moon she is haunted by a painful nightmare shared with a different boy, who’s always hidden by the shadows. In her waking hours she must battle her sixth sense. The one that allows her to feel others emotions as if they were her own. This insight is exhausting and frustrating causing her to draw inward, only trusting her family and few close friends. Oddly, this sense also attracts ghostly images that seem to appear out of nowhere. With a touch, they take her to wherever they may be, allowing her to change their emotion. This alone would cause most to go insane, but Willow filters her aggression by painting, capturing the emotion she changed. One August night a nightmare came days after the new moon. In this dream the shadowed boy marked her wrist with star, leaving her father no choice but to sha re a family secret that would tie all of the odd attributes of Willow’s life together. Now, she has no choice but to outrun the fate that is closing in around her. In an attempt to lure her, the shadowed figure captures her closest friends. In order to save them, she must weave through broken myths, half truths, and the undeniable power of the Zodiac. With each step she takes Willow comes to realize that she has lived before, her path is one that she chose, and this trial is simply the beginning.   

Embody (Insight #2 Web of Hearts and Souls #2) Not many Scorpio’s are known for their patience, and Willow Haywood is no different. Her only desire is to love Landen Chambers and redeem the lost souls of Esterious, but the path to that desire is long, dark and dangerous... Before Willow’s life had a chance to balance the sudden revelations and grief she had to endure to get to Chara a disturbing discovery is made. A photo, one that shows Willow blissfully embracing the flawless image of Drake Blakeshire; giving her not only proof that she had lived before, but that she had loved him. Running away from the memory of Drake’s hypnotizing touch, and the prophecy set before her seemed like the logical thing to do. That is, until a dark dream reignites her passion to save the hopeless dimension of Esterious. Willow struggles to find patience – to learn everything she needs to know before she faces Drake again, but her eagerness is dangerous and one step in the wrong direction takes everything and everyone away from her – the only way to survive this trial is for Willow to remember who she is and what she really wants out of this life.   

Image (Insight #3 Web of Hearts and Souls #3) There is an ominous darkness; one that is so dense and mind-numbing that you can feel the chills race across your skin as the energy of its hatred hovers near you. They thought that it was over… that he was dead… they never imagined that he was more powerful dead than he ever was alive. The dark dimension Esterious is on the brink of war, the victory Willow had a few days ago is nothing more than a vague memory. With each thought she has, she fights the images of Drake’s dark eyes and his words… his promises. Doubt seeps into her soul as she faces what could be the hardest battle she has faced so far. Every prediction and theory is about to be proven wrong… and the choice before Willow’s heart holds the lives of millions at stake. The question is: will she be able to see through the illusions before her and make a choice… she can live with?   

See (See #1 Web of Hearts and Souls #4) The heart never forgets... After a tragically haunting night out with her friends Charlie Myers knew that part of her was stolen. She was missing memories. Those memories were sacred. They held the key to her sanity. They told her that the sinister whispers, and the shadows that came to life before her, were not as ominous as she felt they were. They caused her to forget the one talent that allowed her to face the darkness that haunted her every waking hour. They also masked a much deeper bond, the face of the one that had stolen her heart, long before that disastrous night. Her story begins now.

Fire and Ice My thoughts on Rivulet by Jamie Magee

Happy New Year readers!

                With the new year I have a new reading challenge (100 books), a new work schedule which is currently kicking my tale, and of course some resolutions.  One of mine is to work on my blog more and post reviews more frequently and other fun things.  Any ideas on this please feel free to e-mail or comment, I’m always looking for ways to improve.

                Rivulet by Jamie Magee, todays review, was provided to me through none other than NetGalley, of course, and Alvasia Publishing.  Now when I saw this book the cover caught my eye.  The first thing I did was check if it was in a series and if it was book one.  I’ve requested books realizing after getting them they are like book three or four which does me no good until I’m caught up.  Here is the semi-confusing part, Rivulet is book one in the self-titled series but also book 11 in the Web of Heart and Souls series which from what I’ve gathered on Goodreads has several series in it.  I didn’t learn this until after reading and it didn’t hinder my enjoyment of the book one bit.  It just added ten other books to my TBR is all.  The start of the book did state all the books saying:  All series mingle at some point creating a “web of hearts and souls.”  So read it as part of the whole or like me as the start of a new series that may mingle with others.  Either way you will be fine!  Promise.

                Indie, our main character, is dealing with a lot.  She has this curse; this cold that she can’t get rid of.  It pushes people away from her and keeps her somewhat captive and isolated from all but a select few.  Still she cherishes the visions, particularly those of a special guy that held her in a lost time, one she can never reach.  She would give anything for that life.  She has all of this to deal with while fighting over her inheritance from her evil Aunt who tries to take advantage of her grief.  Her parents where unfathomably rich and had fostered several generations over the years. 

                Then one night she wakes from a nightmare, just like the one she had before she lost her parents, and knows something horrible is going to happen.  Everything changes then.  Oh and the one thing that keeps her curse semi-under control is taken back as her special guy, Sebastian, the one she is in love with from the visions, walks into her life in the flesh.  Indie soon realizes that she has her work cut out for her and she may have to risk everything she was, is, and could be to do what she knows is right.  Because she will do everything in her power to prove that no myth, spoken fate, or curse, is able to keep her from having it all.

In life he haunted her…in death she haunted him.

Love is eternal…

                I was intrigued through the whole story and read it in about three days and have already bought the first could of books in the overall Web series and look forward to starting them.  Clearly I enjoyed the book or I wouldn’t bother right?  I found Indie and her dilemma interesting.  Sure there were times when I didn’t agree with her or her actions but she is impulsive and I respect that.  Sometimes impulsive people do stupid things, I speak from experience.  Besides you can’t help but feel for her with everything going on.  You cheer and cry for her.  Her close network of friends and the way they interact felt natural (minus the supernatural curse part of course haha).  Falling into things that are expected then realizing it wasn’t meant to be but not losing anything.

                Then you have Sebastian.  Oh yummy.  First we fall for him like Indie in her visions.  Then when he appears in the flesh there is definite chemistry and sparks.  They don’t see eye to eye with lots of things in the way, but one thing is clear they have something real, something more than a vision.  Sure he is a bit pig headed but he’s a guy and like so many of our beloved book boyfriends he has some brooding to do and that only adds to his appeal. 

                As mentioned the story is pretty fast paced.  There is a LOT happening.  I give this book a solid 5 Stars.  I look forward to reading more books in the Rivulet series as well as catching up on the other books by Jamie Magee and seeing what connection Rivulet plays in the overall Web of Hearts and Souls series overall.
