Yet another collection of cliffhanger books and while this does actually say 'first in series' you need to check the series first because some of these are long and therefore expensive. With a couple of exceptions this is just the same old books by the same authors just repackaged....yet again. I know I've said this before but I used to love these collections, I really did and I still can't stop myself downloading them every time I see one free but whereas in the past I'd just start reading I now check first. Why only 1 star, this collection is free how can anyone possibly complain about a free collection? I know I used to feel the same way but now I just get so fed up every time I see the same books repackaged and as you can see by the length of my review there's a lot of books involved and it works out expensive.

Blood's Fury by C.M. Owens
Tuesday's Child by Dale Mayer
Tuesday’s Child is the first book in the Psychic Visions series and it was just a great way to start off a new series. I just absolutely fell in love with this new world and new characters. I just couldn’t get enough of this world and it’s characters. I was sad to turn the last page. I can’t wait to see what happens next with this series.
This had several books included . I for like when they leave off and one needs to get next book (but one way to sell books). love Dale Mayer. The last book(daughter of Aphrodite by C.M.Owens ) was a great page turner. Had the gods - or rather their children in it. Great read!
This is a review for the compilation of stories and not for each individual story.
This is a good taste for this genre and I came away from this reading more C.M. Owens. So I was pretty pleased with the selection even if I liked some stories more than others.
Crush (The Crush Saga, #1) by Chrissy Peebles- 2 stars When Taylor sparks moves with her family to California her meeting with the locals doesn't go as expected. Her new crush Jesse is hiding something from her.
Really? One stupid mistake after another for the characters. The characters don't have much of an attention span, they jump from one thing to another. Taylor just acts dumb and has no common sense whatsoever. The characters were flat, there was no substance to them at all. I thought the writing was sloppy and the story did not have as much action as I thought it would.
This is an aggregate score for the collection as a whole. Some books are better than others. I will go and rate each of the individual books so that they each get a more accurate rating.
