"Siobhan! Goodness. What a thrill ride with Harlow and her boys! I'm in love with them all!"-- Ilsa Madden-Mills, Wall Street Journal bestselling author

Rebellion_ecover NEW
Everything changed the night he betrayed me, and now, the game has entered a new level.
Galen did me a favor, reminding me the only person I can count on is myself, and I’m more determined than ever to avenge my father’s death and avoid the destiny Sinner has mapped out for me.
Saint is used to calling the shots, but there are new rules, my rules, and if he wants me in his life, and in his bed, he’ll toe the line. They all will, because I can’t pull this off alone, and they owe me. I’ll enjoy making Galen grovel, seducing Caz, frustrating Saint, and keeping Theo at arm’s length, because they deserve it for failing me.
Sinner thinks he’s in control, but forcing me into initiation plays right into my hands. War has come to Lowell as rival gangs battle The Sainthood for ultimate power, and I enjoy rebelling from the inside, placing more obstacles in Sinner’s path while I exact my revenge.
But I’m not some innocent thirteen-year-old anymore—I have blood on my hands and lethal enemies on my tail.
I’m playing a dangerous game, especially where my heart is concerned, but there’s no turning back. I haven’t come this far to walk away empty-handed, and the more secrets we uncover, the more we realize how far-reaching the betrayal and corruption extend, and there’s no choice anymore.

MY REVIEW
Hot damn but Rebellion is intense! It picks up where Resurrection left off, and Harlow's being the badass woman she is. Even at 18, you can tell she's going to take the world by storm because she's strong, physically and emotionally, and she's got the physical skills to defend herself and kick the asses of the men stupid enough to underestimate her. She's kinda my girl crush right now cuz she rocks.

As for the relationship between Harlow and her boys, well let's just say that it deepens, it gets even hotter and finally the guys' individual personalities are coming forward. I still don't have a favorite, but I have decided I like all of them now. In Resurrection, I wasn't really sure if I liked the guys even as I fell in love with Harlow's awesome personality, but Siobhan really pulled out all the stops and developed the guys' personalities as much as she developed the plot with all the action and suspense. Being that this is a reverse harem and not a love penta (I guess that's what it's called when it's 5 people involved), it's not a competition and Harlow doesn't have to choose a specific guy, thankfully, because each guy brings something different to the penta, and Harlow loves them all.

Like in Resurrection, a lot of stuff happens, a ton of action and intrigue, and even more questions are put forth. Of course there's a holy shit now cliffhanger, and now I'm sitting here fuming that I can't read the next installment right this second.
Excerpt
Things with Theo were always complicated yet simple. Difficult yet as easy as breathing. Our relationship now is no less complex, but I know I need to fix things with him. It’s no different from Galen in that regard. I can’t cause a divide in the group with me, Caz, and Saint on one side and Galen and Theo being frozen out on the other side. But even if I do patch things up with them, I still don’t see how it ends up working out. There are too many barriers to unity, especially with Theo.

I remove my hand from Caz’s. “Hey, could you give us a minute?” I gesture toward Theo.

“Sure.” He kisses my lips. “I’ll grab us a table.”

Theo lifts his head, his eyes finding mine, and I hate the anguish I discover there, because I know I’m partly responsible for it. I step toward him. “Hey.” I peer into his beautiful hazel eyes. Green is most prominent today, but his pupils are ringed in a layer of brown and amber, and I could stare at his handsome face all day. Tentatively, I reach out, cupping one side of his face. “You doing okay?”

He shrugs, looking away, and I tilt his face around with my fingers. “Don’t do that. Please.”

“It hurts so much to look at you sometimes,” he admits, his voice cracking a bit.

“I know.” I press my forehead to his, and my heart beats wildly out of control. “I’m sorry if I hurt you with Caz in the car.”

“It’s not that,” he says. “I just miss you, Lo. Miss the way we were.” His hands land on my hips.

“I miss you so fucking much,” I whisper. Tears sting my eyes, and I’m horrified. I pull back, because I can’t break down here. “Can we go to the park tonight? Just you and me. Like old times?”

His eyes turn glassy, and a soft smile graces his lips. “I would like that. We are long overdue a talk.”

I nod. “You hurt me, Theo, and I’m not sure I’m ready yet, but I want to try.”

“I want to try too, because I want to fix things with us.”

“Do you think we can?”

He shrugs. “I don’t know. I think I’m even more confused than I was back then.”

“Because of me or someone else?” I gently inquire.

His eyes pop wide. “Is it—”

I shake my head. “I don’t think it’s obvious.”

The door opens, and Caz pops his head out. “You guys coming or what?”

“Always so impatient.” Theo punches him in the arm, but he’s smiling. “We’re coming.” He reaches back, and I take his hand, letting him lead me inside.

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
