Catching Moonlight - Book Review

Catching Moonlight (The Sunrise Prophecy #2)
by Emily Mah

What is it about:
Corban Alexander has a dark side, and ever since a chance encounter with Liana Linacre, a girl he was supposed to protect, it's darker and more addictive than ever. Every minute of every hour of every day he fights to resist succumbing to his worst instincts. If he doesn't, he will fall, and gain the power to scourge and wreak havoc upon humanity, feeding off their pain. It would take a legion of angels to stop him.

So when he learns that Liana needs help once again, he knows he is the last person to provide it. The problem is, no one else is willing.

Corban must return to the side of the girl he loves, and pray that he is strong enough to save both her and himself.

What did I think of it:
This is a cool and suspenseful read.

The book starts about four years after the events in book one, taking this series in NA territory. The first book in this series was told from Liana's viewpoint. In this book we get to see things from Corban's point of view.

No sooner have Liana and Corban met up again or things get dicey. Someone wants Liana dead and isn't very subtle about it. Corban should bring Liana to safety, but Liana has different plans.

I loved seeing that my wishes came true: Liana's best friends were back and more involved in what is going on. I rooted for all of them to survive. The relationship between Liana and Corban is a complex one. Corban does have feelings for her, which as an angel he shouldn't have, and it looks like Liana might have moved on. On top of that Corban is drawn to negative emotions. If Liana's enemy doesn't kill them, Corban just might do it by accident.

I was invested from the start and kept reading to find out where things would lead. The ending is satisfying, but also left me eager for the next book. So you bet I'll read it soon.

Why should you read it:
It's a cool Paranormal read.

Chasing Sunrise - Book Review

Chasing Sunrise (The Sunrise Prophecy #1)
by Emily Mah

What is it about:
Liana Linacre always thought of herself as the boring good girl, because that's what she was before an alluring vampire named Evan came to her window. What begins as her fantasy romance ends with a curse that threatens her life and that of everyone she loves. No longer the pampered prep school student, she becomes an orphan on the run from dark forces that want her soul.

This lands her in Taos, New Mexico, a quirky artist colony and the home of her even quirkier Aunt Cassie, who is willing to give her a place to stay, but refuses to be an adult role model. Left on her own in a public high school serving a low income area, Liana captures the attention of the mysterious Corban Alexander. He makes it clear right away, he wants her gone, but that isn't an option for her.

The only way for Liana to survive is to outsmart the ancient evil that wants her dead.

Corban must decide if he can forgive a girl who made the one mistake he believes is unforgivable.

Only if they fight together together can they prevail in an age-old fight that evil has always won.

What did I think of it:
This is a really fun Paranormal read.

Mah gives a really original spin to the vampire mythology and I was intrigued from the start. Liana is both strong and vulnerable. Things are happening with her she can't totally understand, and on top of that she is thrown in a new life at a public school after only attending private boarding schools. It was interesting to see her adapt and realize how privileged she has been.

Her brush with a vampire lands her in hot water with Corban, a vampire hunter with secrets of his own. I really liked their interaction and was eager to find out more about him.

I loved seeing Liana make friends and even though her two new friends have a minor role in this book I am looking forward to see this friendship develop and hope her friends will have a bigger role in the next books in this series. I also enjoyed getting to know Taos and the people who live there.

All in all this is a really cool read and you bet I'll be reading the other two books in this trilogy as well.

Why should you read it:
It's a cool Paranormal YA/NA
