Paranormally Yours Boxed Set
Alisha Basso - This Blood
Grace Allen Series Book One
Grace Allen is just a girl struggling to survive. Working at a bar called The Edge for a grumpy boss and odd co-worker. Her life is pretty boring. Soon enough Grace wishes it was like that again. It all changed one night at the bar when the most sexiest man she ever encountered came to the bar. He was looking for her and wearing the very ring she had found and sold. No way he would know who she was. When a second most sexiest man ever tries to warn her that she is someone special and he could keep her safe, she ignored him. Big mistake.
Lucian is sweet and handsome but Grace has trust issues. Especially when he’s trying to tell her she is the only one of her kind. Until now she didn’t even know there were all these different creatures of myth roaming the earth, let alone that she was one of them.
Seth McPhee is a powerful vampire, hungry for more. He finds a way to achieve it when he learns about Grace. What he can’t get with his looks and charm….he’ll take.
This story is told from Grace’s view. It’s fast moving and intense at times. Definitely goes to show you that no matter how handsome the guy is….don’t mean he’s a good guy. Fact is, Grace meets all kinds of hunky guys and each one seems more evil than the next one. This is the first book of a series and leaves the reader ready and waiting for book two.

Zoe Dawson – AfterLife
Starbucks Series Book One
Lily Starbuck is a witch with no memories prior to three years ago. She didn’t even know her real name. Found by Nock Whisk, a gnome, in a field of lilies and taken in by Olivia, a sister witch. A nagging question is never far from her mind, “Am I a good witch or a bad witch?” Only she has that answer...lost somewhere in her amnesic mind.
The Break, a time thirty years ago when someone opened a portal and broke reality, changing the world as humans knew it. Now every kind of otherworlder exists. This is Lily’s world. When it is shaken up and changed forever, she is determined to find out what happened. Even if it kills her.
Zoe Dawson has stepped away from her usual writing in this paranormal that is written from Lily’s point of view. The secondary characters are a mix of personalities that come to life. A handsome fae, an adorable gnome, a tiny dragon along with characters such as Val, who used to be a fictional hero in an anime. It doesn’t end in a cliffhanger...but you know there is more to come.

Candace Carrabus – Raver
Horsecaller Series Book One
Laura Gallagher is a recently divorced woman living with her brother’s family. Content to be with the horses. It was as good as life would be, she assumed. And then everything changed and she found herself in a new dimension with the handsome Leinos and people who expected her to be a Horsecaller. Cirq, their country, would not continue on without the return of the horses.
Could she have the courage? And would she ever get home again? Or want to go if she could? An excellent story. It closes one chapter, but there is more to come when book two comes out.

Lauralynn Elliot - Soul of a Vampire
Nikolas Petrou was a good and moral man until one blind-soul-stealing-date. With every bit of humanity he had left in him, he was determined to get his soul back. Only the darkness had it’s pull on his life as well. Nik didn’t know how or why but after meeting Tessa, he just knew she had the key to helping him. If the dark didn’t take over first.
Tessa Garrett worked at the museum with the paranormal artifacts. She could ‘feel’ something about them, but to face the facts that the things that went bump in the night were real was a whole different thing.
Nik is so easy to fall in love with...his good side at least. A really good book that I couldn’t put down once I started reading. Lauralynn’s vampires aren’t always nice and controlled. They truly do have their dark sides.

Dale Mayer - In Cassie's Corner
Cassie Merchant has just lost her very best friend,Todd Spence. When his ghost appears and pleads with her not to believe what people say, she goes on a mission to find out the truth. Knowing Todd better than anyone else, she knows the facts just don’t match up. She just needs to get others to believe her without revealing she’s talking to a ghost.
To me this story goes a bit further than fiction. How many times do we prejudge someone or talk about the dead in a disrespectful way? Just as people misjudged Todd because he put a tough shield over himself, so often we do the same without truly knowing someone. This book grabbed me from page one and didn’t let go.

Alisha Basso - This Blood
Grace Allen Series Book One
Grace Allen is just a girl struggling to survive. Working at a bar called The Edge for a grumpy boss and odd co-worker. Her life is pretty boring. Soon enough Grace wishes it was like that again. It all changed one night at the bar when the most sexiest man she ever encountered came to the bar. He was looking for her and wearing the very ring she had found and sold. No way he would know who she was. When a second most sexiest man ever tries to warn her that she is someone special and he could keep her safe, she ignored him. Big mistake.
Lucian is sweet and handsome but Grace has trust issues. Especially when he’s trying to tell her she is the only one of her kind. Until now she didn’t even know there were all these different creatures of myth roaming the earth, let alone that she was one of them.
Seth McPhee is a powerful vampire, hungry for more. He finds a way to achieve it when he learns about Grace. What he can’t get with his looks and charm….he’ll take.
This story is told from Grace’s view. It’s fast moving and intense at times. Definitely goes to show you that no matter how handsome the guy is….don’t mean he’s a good guy. Fact is, Grace meets all kinds of hunky guys and each one seems more evil than the next one. This is the first book of a series and leaves the reader ready and waiting for book two.

Zoe Dawson – AfterLife
Starbucks Series Book One
Lily Starbuck is a witch with no memories prior to three years ago. She didn’t even know her real name. Found by Nock Whisk, a gnome, in a field of lilies and taken in by Olivia, a sister witch. A nagging question is never far from her mind, “Am I a good witch or a bad witch?” Only she has that answer...lost somewhere in her amnesic mind.
The Break, a time thirty years ago when someone opened a portal and broke reality, changing the world as humans knew it. Now every kind of otherworlder exists. This is Lily’s world. When it is shaken up and changed forever, she is determined to find out what happened. Even if it kills her.
Zoe Dawson has stepped away from her usual writing in this paranormal that is written from Lily’s point of view. The secondary characters are a mix of personalities that come to life. A handsome fae, an adorable gnome, a tiny dragon along with characters such as Val, who used to be a fictional hero in an anime. It doesn’t end in a cliffhanger...but you know there is more to come.

Candace Carrabus – Raver
Horsecaller Series Book One
Laura Gallagher is a recently divorced woman living with her brother’s family. Content to be with the horses. It was as good as life would be, she assumed. And then everything changed and she found herself in a new dimension with the handsome Leinos and people who expected her to be a Horsecaller. Cirq, their country, would not continue on without the return of the horses.
Could she have the courage? And would she ever get home again? Or want to go if she could? An excellent story. It closes one chapter, but there is more to come when book two comes out.

Lauralynn Elliot - Soul of a Vampire
Nikolas Petrou was a good and moral man until one blind-soul-stealing-date. With every bit of humanity he had left in him, he was determined to get his soul back. Only the darkness had it’s pull on his life as well. Nik didn’t know how or why but after meeting Tessa, he just knew she had the key to helping him. If the dark didn’t take over first.
Tessa Garrett worked at the museum with the paranormal artifacts. She could ‘feel’ something about them, but to face the facts that the things that went bump in the night were real was a whole different thing.
Nik is so easy to fall in love with...his good side at least. A really good book that I couldn’t put down once I started reading. Lauralynn’s vampires aren’t always nice and controlled. They truly do have their dark sides.

Dale Mayer - In Cassie's Corner
Cassie Merchant has just lost her very best friend,Todd Spence. When his ghost appears and pleads with her not to believe what people say, she goes on a mission to find out the truth. Knowing Todd better than anyone else, she knows the facts just don’t match up. She just needs to get others to believe her without revealing she’s talking to a ghost.
To me this story goes a bit further than fiction. How many times do we prejudge someone or talk about the dead in a disrespectful way? Just as people misjudged Todd because he put a tough shield over himself, so often we do the same without truly knowing someone. This book grabbed me from page one and didn’t let go.

found so many good books to read, amazing reads.

September 7, 2016OVERALL:
This Blood – Alisha Basso - 3 stars
There are vampires hunting grace for her special gifts that she doesn't even know about. On the flip side Lucien found her and is trying to help her fight Seth, a very intriguing vampire.
I liked the concept of the story and the author does a good job explaining everything. I felt that everything just seemed too easy for grace and she was kind of whiny throughout the story. I was never able to connect with any of the chargers nor find them overly appealing.

Wow!! Each one of the stories included in this box set was well worth the time it took to read them. The escapism was fantastic and I could not tell you who was my favourite hero throughout the whole lot. Each book was individual yet the familiarity of the supernatural genre shone through.
I would say though that my favourite story was The Mating by Nicky Charles. The Mating

Good fun
For the price it was entertaining. I may even read the set again one day. I hate how I'm forced to use certain amount of words in my review.
