Book of the week! (It's new don't judge)

So, this week I have to give it up for a new author on the scene, well on my scene, Jaime Reed.

You can find her Goodreads page at https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5140626.Jaime_Reed.
I would rather you use Goodreads because it gives you a wide range of books on the same plane as the one I am about to give five thumbs up to.

LIVING VIOLET (THE CAMBION SERIES)

He's persuasive, charming, and way too mysterious. And for Samara Marshall, her co-worker is everything she wants most--and everything she most fears. . .

Samara Marshall is determined to make the summer before her senior year the best ever. Her plan: enjoy downtime with friends and work to save up cash for her dream car. Summer romance is not on her to-do list, but uncovering the truth about her flirtatious co-worker, Caleb Baker, is. From the peculiar glow to his eyes to the unfortunate events that befall the girls who pine after him, Samara is the only one to sense danger behind his smile.

But Caleb's secrets are drawing Samara into a world where the laws of attraction are a means of survival. And as a sinister power closes in on those she loves, Samara must take a risk that will change her life forever. . .or consume it. 

If you guys want you can also check out my Goodreads profile and on it with some of my reviews you can see I love my 'strong female heroine' characters I want to read nothing less. I believe a strong female lead always makes a book better but this book, this book was simply epic. Not only did the lead character have a little common sense she didn't stand around when she heard a noise and asked if anybody was there. She made it three blocks away before she asked herself if there was anyone there, at the spot she was standing on, when she heard the noise.

I have never written an in dept review about a book before, I usually just say if it was good for me or not so today, since my trusty senior citizen of a laptop decided it was a good day to start back working I am going to review the hell out of this book.

So Samara, the female protagonist, is a curious yet jaded cat, always asking questions and filling her conversations with a lot of sarcasm. This is how she went about her daily routine. Her world literally began spinning out of control when she happened upon one of her creepy co-workers, Caleb, cleaning out a girls tonsils behind a bookshelf. Her words not mine.

Now to keep flow with this review I am going to have to give you a description of the supernatural we are dealing with, considering this is a Young Adult Fiction novel. It centers around a supernatural creature called a Cambion but most of us supernatural geeks know them as Succubus. A creature that feeds off the life force of others. But in the book there is a little twist which I am not going to reveal. So back to the review.

Okay, so Caleb basically turns into a silence 2 meters away stalker. Always in some ways invading her space or staring at her from a distance. Now the fun part about their 'getting to know each other' period in the book was that there wasn't any slow motion entrances, heart stopping stare downs, really constipated flirtatious dialogue or the presence of a mean girl who just can't seem to let go. It was the description of a normal girl getting to know a guy who happened to be the last person seen with the unconscious girl being carted away by an ambulance.

Yes, I said ambulance, because you see even though she knew all that she didn't tell the police, so with the knowledge of knowing that little tidbit and Caleb's really creepy stalking tactics she couldn't take it anymore and decides to confront him, in a very populated area I might add. My kind of girl.

Going along the story progresses, they become friends and was on their way into becoming more when Samara finds out about his little secret and took it like a trooper. By that I mean she reacted like any normal person might react if you saw someone you know sucking white mist out of a would-be rapist mouth killing him, she got scared, she cried and then got really really angry. Mind you there wasn't any chance meeting in moonlight with confessing and shit or him cornering her in some deserted area where he proceeds to find some way to touch her or breathe on her when her heart stops and she gets a tingly feeling which then leads to her forgiving him. OH no no no no, there was promise of violence, there was threats and some serious ultimatums.

All in all they made up some, she starts training him to control himself but, you know a but was coming. But shit hit the fan when Caleb's family, the one's he was hiding from, start popping up leading to some trials and tribulations y'all and it was bad. I even shed a little tear at the outcome of their appearance. That's all I can say I don't to spoil it so you are just going to have to get the book and read it to know how it ended.

Jaime Reed is forever put down in my favorite authors book as someone to keep an eye on because her style of writing is just beautiful.
