Review: The Goddess Inheritance by Aimee Carter
 |
| RATING: ✮✮✮✮✮+❤ |
Love or life.
Henry or their child.
The end of her family or the end of the world.
Kate must choose.
During nine months of captivity, Kate has survived a jealous goddess, a vengeful Titan and a pregnancy she never asked for. Now the Queen of the Gods wants her unborn child, and Kate can't stop her--until Cronus offers a deal.
In exchange for her loyalty and devotion, the King of the Titans will spare humanity and let Kate keep her child. Yet even if Kate agrees, he'll destroy Henry, her mother and the rest of the council. And if she refuses, Cronus will tear the world apart until every last god and mortal is dead.
With the fate of everyone she loves resting on her shoulders, Kate must do the impossible: find a way to defeat the most powerful being in existence, even if it costs her everything.
Even if it costs her eternity
MY REVIEW:
In this third installment of the Goddess Test Series, Kate Winters is fighting against the ultimate evil, trying to defend her immortal family, her love and humanity's life...and did I mention her baby? War is brewing and Cronus (the ultimate evil) is threatening all to extinction with a couple of recruits by his side. But Kate won't give up hope and she fights till the end to make sure there's a future for everyone and to ensure her baby's safety, even if that means sacrificing her own life. However, their one chance for salvation is Rhea, Cronus's wife, but she flat out refuses to take part in any war. But wait, there's more...Henry's the only that can help the original gods win this war against their father, Cronus, only, he can't help them! Why, you ask? You'll just have to read the book.
Aimee Carter takes us on a journey full of action, joyful and agonizing tears and oh-so-many surprises in this last installment of this series. You'll fall infinitely in love with every last word of The Goddess Inheritance, guaranteed.
*Special thanks to Harlequin for allowing me to review this title.
P.S. Henry is my Justin Timberlake.

T hey Love me enough to give me L ife.
Imagination is key in any romance. Most romantics will agree that the right gesture, as simple as can be, is enough to win them over. In this collection, I share the poems written by me for but a few of the many that have touched me in this way. I am alive in their imaginations and in their hearts, and that is more life than I could ever ask for.
AUTHOR BIO:
David Chios was born into a little girl’s dreams when she was 10 years old—being about the same age as she. Through the years, he resided in the girl’s mind as only a dream. It wasn’t until the birth of the novel Creatura that David set foot in the real world to tell Isis’s and his story. Today, David resides within the reveries of many, working diligently to take over their hearts.
Occasionally, David still drops in to visit Nely Cab in her dreams.

Things That Go Bump in the
Night
A Paranormal Experience Guest Post
(Elena) Kelli and I had an amazing paranormal experience last
year when we were at the Desert Rose Conference in Arizona with Amber.
Things went amiss not long after our arrival. Since Kelli and I
shared a suite at the conference, we witnessed this craziness first hand.
(Kelli) You arrived at the conference before I did. I think
you’re the one that started it all. Justin had a thing for you...
(Elena) Hush. Let me tell the story So, after our first night
there, I wake up the next morning and go into the bathroom. All of the towels
that were on the shelf had fallen on the floor. I just assumed Kelli had gotten
up through the night and done it accidentally. Or she had too much to drink and
decided to redecorate.
(Kelli) Redecorating is the last thing on my mind when
drinking. But back to the story. What was even stranger is that the room we
were staying in was at the very end of the building. We couldn’t blame it on
the person in the next suite because the bathroom was on the outer wall. So no
slamming doors could cause the towels to fall. Creeped out yet? Keep reading...
(Elena) The next day we had to switch rooms and they put us in
a room where we had to share a bed.
(Kelli) Good thing we’re best friends, right Elena ~_^
(Elena) Um. Yeah...Could have been kinda awkward. We went to
sleep that night and I heard a clapping sound. I thought it was Kelli. I asked
her what she was doing and she said she thought it was me.
(Kelli) Yep. I thought Elena had a compact in her hand and had
closed it shut. She thought I was trying to use the old “clap on, clap off”
method for the lights. As if... ~_^
(Elena) Ha! Then I heard someone breathing in my ear. That
really freaked me out. I told Kelli there was someone uninvited in bed with us.
(Kelli) It was more like, “Holy Sh*t! Something’s in bed with
us.” LoL. I couldn’t deny it. I had a cold chill wash over me. I’ve always been
sensitive to things of this nature. It felt like someone was pressing against
my chest.
(Elena) I told whoever was in the room that we were jet lagged
and not in the mood to play. He needed to move on and have fun with someone
else. No menage a ghost happening that night.
(Kelli) She didn’t know it was a guy until I told her. Another
friend who was staying in the same building came in the next morning. Being a
sensitive herself, she was able to confirm what we were experiencing. She
didn’t know at the time that I thought it was a guy.
(Elena) She told us that he had visited her the night before
too. We asked what time and it was right after we told him to scram. (Freaky
huh?) Since she’s able to ‘see’ beyond this realm, I asked her what time period
he looked like he was from. She thought the 70’s maybe. Did I mention that I
named him? Calling him “ghost” seemed rude so I called him Justin.
(Kelli) I tried to mention his name before you hushed me...
Anyway, we asked some of the other authors at the conference if anything weird
happened to them. And you know as writers we eat this stuff up. A story was
already brewing.
(Elena) Yes. Menage a Ghost!
(Kelli) What a title...
(Elena) One of the authors said that her door kept slamming on
her finger and while they were at a seminar their toilet plugged. I figured it
was Kelli’s fault after she ate that burrito for lunch.
(Kelli) Um, that would have been you. *Shakes head* The ghost
visited once more after that. He showed up our last morning there. Elena was
fast asleep, but my eyes flew open at 6am on the dot. I had fallen asleep the
night before in my clothes. (too much tequila) I had this long necklace on, and
it had slid across my chest to my arm, which was tucked under my pillow. There
was a vibration that spread across the necklace. Like someone was tapping it.
It happened twice. After the second time, I just smiled. I knew it was Justin.
That was the last we heard from him.
(Elena) When I was on the shuttle to the airport I asked the
driver if anything strange happened in that hotel. He asked what part we stayed
in. I told him at the back across from the pool. He said a teenage boy had
tried to jump from the balcony into the pool and missed. It happened right
above our room. I asked when he died and he said early 80’s. So he confirmed that
our frisky ghost was real.
(Kelli) Freaky thing is, I think Justin followed Elena home.
While writing this post, she had a couple ‘strange’ occurrences going on. Does
this all sound crazy? Sure it does, but isn’t paranormal all about the
‘unnatural’ or ‘abnormal’ flow of things in life? Yup. Welcome to our world...
(Amber) It’s true! I heard all about this first hand within
hours of it happening! Okay, so that doesn’t make me an actual witness, but
still. I’ve had enough paranormal experiences myself that I rarely doubt
another’s.
My latest one happened one morning as I woke my daughter up.
Sunlight streamed in on her sweet little face. She was on the bottom bunk fast
asleep and as I sat down to kiss her awake, I heard a noise on the upper
bunk’s. It sounded like sheets rustling. Then the mattress moved, depressing
and returning to normal, like a knee or rearend had pressed on it. I thought
for a split second our cat must be up there.
Except we don’t have a cat.
So I popped up, thinking my son must have come in at some point
to sleep in her room. Nope. Nothing. Just a bunch of stuffed animals staring
back at me. But I know what I saw and heard. The rustling of sheets, a mattress
indention, and that unmistakable feel of goosebumps covering my skin whenever
something spooky happens.

The Best Mail Call Ever!
Last year, I secretly mailed a handwritten letter to someone. I wasn't expecting a reply.
Today, I had to drop by the post office to send off some surprise swag, and I decided to check my mailbox while I was there. Well, guess what? I got a reply! I can not stop smiling.
I express my sincere gratitude to Her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth II and the Majesty's Royal Correspondence Officer, Madam Sonia Bonici, for thoughtfully replying to my letter.

Author: Jaidis Shaw
Genre: Paranormal Thriller
Expected Release Date: April 2013
Synopsis:
Life is good for assassin Amelia Jay. With
a supernatural gift that allows her to appear as anyone she chooses, Amelia
views the world as her stage. Distracted by an unexpected pregnancy while on a
job, Amelia’s world comes crashing down around her when she is forced to reveal
her powers to the only man she has ever cared for.Kingsley O’Hare may not be in a legal position of power, but under the surface he has the city at his disposal. From drugs to human trafficking, he has gained his fair share of enemies. When he learns about Amelia’s talents as an assassin, he knows he must have her on his team. So when Amelia walks out on his job offer, he thinks she is gone for good. That is, until she is faced with a dilemma and is forced to ask him for a favor.
Fulfilling her agreement with Kingsley, Amelia must decide if she is willing to give up the only lifestyle she has known in order to provide for her unborn child. When the decision is made for Amelia, she must stand up for those who are unable to fight for themselves, even if that means losing herself in the process. Will Amelia’s power be enough to save her?
Excerpt from Prologue:
Victory was mine the day I saw my mother’s essence
leave her body and wrap itself around me like a cloak. I had her memories, her
skills, and her looks. I could be her forever – if I wanted. I sometimes find myself
wondering if there is anything left between us that is redeemable but feeling
the extent of her fear and disgust towards me now as it coursed through my
veins, I knew there was nothing salvageable left. Instead, I shrugged her
essence off of me and watched it return to the motionless body on the floor.
The world became my stage and I was determined to play the lead role.
Now,
I am anything and anyone I want, because I am a Stager.
I
am you.

The Shadow Tour Blog Stop plus Giveaway!
Hello, readers! Today it's my pleasure to welcome my guest, Adrian Lupşa, author of Necessary Evil. Be sure to check out the giveaway below!
Adrian, can you tell my readers and me about how it is that you began blogging and writing, and the point at which you decided to publish your book?
Ever since I can remember I loved literature, reading and especially writing, making up my own stories, stepping into a fantasy world of my own. When I was 12 years old I got a computer that changed my life. From that moment I knew what I wanted to be, what I wanted to do, so here am I - student at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at Ovidius University of Constantza.
In February 2012, I wanted to have a blog and I chose Blogger services and published a few posts that were in the Computer Science & IT domain. I was thinking if this is going to be a success I will have an advantage when I finish college. Unfortunately, I found it very difficult to promote my blog, so I switched to Wordpress. There, I started to write about different things from my life and thanks to the news feed (a facility that Wordpress has) the blog’s popularity grew quickly. I continued posting and my work became more and more appreciated. I was doing something I like, I was writing about the things I love.
When I was in high school, I wrote some poems and short stories, but I never published them. I regained the interest in writing when I met a person who was reading a lot of books and I remembered the old times. After I began to blog, I thought that it would be great if I could write a short story and an idea just popped in my head. I wanted to publish it somewhere on the Internet and find out the opinion of the people around the world. In a week it was done, but the result was not the one I expected. I felt that something was missing, so I decided to write a “real book” — a novel. I think it took me about one month to write it and two others to translate and edit the manuscript. The novel was originally written in Romanian, but I heard about the Amazon KDP Services and I knew that this was a great opportunity to launch my book abroad. My family was skeptical about this service (how in the world something can be free?), but the good thing is that I heard about a lot of self-published authors that had success and I gave this service a try.
I remember that before publishing, my sister wanted to read my book and I gave her a copy of the manuscript. She read it in a few days and she started to ask me a lot of questions and I knew that this was a good sign. Now she is waiting for the second book of the series because, in Necessary Evil, some things remain unsolved.
Currently I am supposed to work on the second book, but I started a short story and I wrote about 6.000 words and I’m only at the beginning of the story, so I will probably end with another novel. This is going to be a very busy year for me, because I have the graduation and I still want to blog, write, read and have a life in the same time, but I have to keep myself on position, to give the best I have.
ABOUT THE BOOK:At almost eighteen years, Christine considers herself an adult, a grown woman, with her own principles and ideas about life, ready for every challenge that she would have to face. Or at least this is what she thinks. When her parents go on a business trip, Christine decides to invite the most handsome boy in school in her house. After a party with her friends, strange things start happening in the Taylor’s house. The girl tries to find out what is going on and in the same time wants to have a normal life along with her friends. Christine discovers a connection between the silhouettes inside her house and the dreams she has lately, but will she be able to regain peace knowing that she must release a greater evil?
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Adrian Lupşa currently resides in Romania with his family. He is a student at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Constantza, but in his free time he enjoys reading and writing. Adrian had written short stories since he was a child, but encouraged by the many authors with whom he came in contact, he decided to face the world and write his debut novel.
