What would you do if your
dreams were more than just dreams?
When you knew in the
depths of your soul that you were unlike the rest?
For seventeen-year-old Dahlia Winters, this is her truth. Her
coping mechanism is to simply forget and deny the strangeness that is her life.
Orphaned, her past remains a mystery. Now residing with a foster family, she
finally feels normal--or attempts to. Yet, dreams continue to torment her. Not
only consumed by visions of miraculously healing wounds, but of a lust for
something she should never naturally crave.
Then a green-eyed stranger enters her life echoing her inner
thoughts and voicing warnings about others wanting to harm her. He knows things
about her that no one should possibly know, and he awakens her in ways she
never expected.
This leads Dahlia to discover who she really is, for she is
more than just human. With this new found knowledge, and the elements suddenly
fighting against her, she finds it hard to trust anyone. And as she finally
awakens and comes to grips with the power she possesses, she fights to stay
alive.
Before the world, as she knows it, ceases to exist.
My Review: This novel invites you in and takes you into depths unknown. Learning about Dahlia and who she really is walks you down paths of discovery and wonder. As Dahlia tries to come to grips with reality she must fight to keep herself alive and find out who she can and can not trust. It is a twist and turning story that leaves you wanting to know how it all plays out in the end. Just as you were invited in the end of this story will spit you out, leaving you wanting to find out if Dahlia's world ceases before you are turned away? Pick up a copy today to find out. Dahlia the first of The Blood Crave Series may just be what you need.

Title-Fallen Tears
Series-Blood Crave # 1.5
By- Christina Channelle
Genre- YA Paranormal
Publication Date- January 25, 2013
Blurb-
We left off from DAHLIA with only a name--a name that is the
next piece to the puzzle. A name that will eventually, "lead us to
him." But before we delve into the continuation of the Blood Crave Series,
let's answer the question that's been on all our minds.
Who is Rowan?
This
21,000 word novella answers that question, and of how Rowan has come to know
the vampire with pitch-black eyes
My Review: Fallen Tears maybe a novella but it has no shortage on detail. Rowan comes as a mystery like Dahlia in ways both not having a family both having a dark secret that would change their lives. Rowan has her life ripped apart and changed in the blink of an eye. She wants to hide and tuck herself into her once safe life. However, that is not what Rowan must do. She becomes so much stronger than even Rowan herself believed she could. This novella may be short but you will not miss out on anything.

Title- Rowan
Series- Blood Crave Series # 2
By- Christina Channelle
Publication Date- April 1, 2013
Genre-
YA Paranormal
Blurb-
Dark. Night. Death.
Things Rowan has been trying to avoid for the many years since
she was first turned. Her choice: to sleep away the darkness; it beats having
to deal with the craziness of life. Or rather, death. However soon after
awakening, she stumbles upon a lone figure whose presence is shrouded with
mystery.
She assists him in his search for answers making it even more
difficult for Rowan to forget her past. She realizes she can’t hide forever as
she is literally being sucked back into her chaotic world: a world where both
fallen angels and vampires exist, manifested on earth as lapsus and lamia.
Not particularly … friendly with one another.
Rowan struggles to resist her hunger as a demon vampire while
dealing with unwanted desires for a fallen angel from the past: a relationship
that could only spell trouble. Not to mention the unresolved feelings she still
has for a loved one from long ago.
While all of this is happening, they must all seek the hidden
evil that hunts them—for there’s an ancient fighting to wake up and destroy
everything Rowan holds dear.
My Review: I begin Rowan the second novel in The Blood Crave Series with some familiarity yet sure I had no clue what I maybe in for. Evil lurks and waits behind every dark corner for those who have a weakness that can be torturous. this evil will take everything Rowan holds dear and has the potential to destroy all of it. Rowan will get thrown back into her past and has to make a decision to stay hidden or find this evil that has the need to destroy everything for everyone. Now I will not down play this story. It is a complete thrill ride every page you read. It lacks nothing in the way of detail or in the personality of the characters. I truly believe that Christina Channelle does a fantastic job with this series and am hopeful that the next book in the Blood Crave Series holds as much excitement and mystery as the first ones have.
