Avoiding Alpha (Alpha Girl Book 2) by Aileen Erin


 Blurb:
Seventeen-year-old Tessa McCaide has come a long way since her abrupt entrance into the world of werewolves, but she still has just as far to go before she’s comfortable with turning full wolf. In the meantime, she’s avoiding the topic of shifting to four legs any way she can. Thankfully her mate, Dastien Laurent, is quite the distraction.
When she finds her best friend, Meredith, getting sick in the bathroom, Tessa knows something’s majorly wrong. Meredith was cursed years ago, and the dark magic kept her wolf dormant—only now the wolf is awake, and that same spell is killing her.
Tessa has no intention of sitting around while Meredith wastes away. Even if it means playing with magic she doesn’t understand, she’ll do anything to save Meredith’s life. Including bargaining with the local coven of witches and its crazed leader, whose only goal is getting Tessa to join the witchy ranks.
Can Tessa save her friend without losing herself?

My Review:
Being the oddball all your life really takes a toll on a girl. In times of need, standing back and watching is not an option. When someone's life is on the line and you're the only hope that person has can feel like a daunting task. 
For the first time ever, Tessa has a friend. Unfortunately, her friend Meredith has fallen ill. The strangest part of her falling ill is, Were's don't ever get sick. Watching her friend get sicker by the moment, Tessa realizes saving her friend is a race against time. Not exactly sure how to help, Tessa starts researching and tries a some things to help, to no avail. With some new information and prayer for a miracle, Tessa gives one last go at saving Meredith as her life is barely hanging on. 
Does Tessa save her in time or does time get the better of Meredith? 

Aileen gets better and better with each book she writes. The detail is so descriptive, I can literally picture myself in the her stories, as one of the characters. I can feel the emotions of each character and feel Tessa's tension build as she stresses over how to save her friend. 
This is a book that I could not put down and I'm positive you won't be able to either.

BECOMING ALPHA (Alpha Girl Book1) by Aileen Erin

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if your world changed by one encounter? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to learn that the stories you read growing up of supernatural beings do exist? How would you feel if you suddenly became one of those creatures? That's how Tessa feels. Growing up in the light of a celebrity attorney father, Tessa is referred to as a freak of nature.
However, Tessa's father took on a new job that would move the family from California to Texas. In Texas, Tessa notices some strange things, strange people. AND...She meets a guy.
One strange encounter and Tessa's life is changed forever.

Blurb:
One stupid party. One stupid boy. One stupid kiss. And my life was virtually over.
 
Tessa McCaide has a unique talent for getting into trouble. Then again, it isn’t easy for a girl with visions to ignore what she sees. Luckily Tessa and her family are leaving California and moving halfway across the country, giving her the perfect opportunity to leave her reputation as “Freaky Tessa” behind.
But Tessa doesn’t realize that kissing the wrong guy in her new Texas town could land her in far more trouble than she ever imagined. Like being forced to attend St. Ailbe’s Academy, a secret boarding school for werewolves.Even if the wrong guy did accidentally turn her into one of “them” and doom her to attending the weirdest high school ever, Tessa can’t help her growing attraction to the mysterious Dastien Laurent.
When vampires attack St. Alibe’s and her visions pinpoint an enemy in their midst, Tessa realizes that boy drama and her newfound canine tendencies might just be the least of her problems. 

My Review:
Becoming Alpha is about a girl who never fit in, unsure of where she belongs. When her family moves to Texas, Tessa has a new start at a new school and the possibility of new friends. 
At a party, Tessa runs into a guy that she was told to stay away from. With an unexplainable attraction to this guy, Tessa finds herself in a situation that she never thought she would be in. Before she knew it, her friends want nothing to do with her. 
 One evening, one party, one guy and her life is forever changed.
This book is a fabulous read for late teenagers due to some language. Tessa is a character that can relate to all of us in her everyday struggles in life. Trying to be someone you're not is hard and not fitting in with your peers is even harder.   

To learn what happened to Tessa, you will have to read for yourself. I can guarantee you that you will be disappointed when you finish this book. Not because of the writing, but because you were you are left wanting more and the book ended what feels like too soon. Don't worry though, there are four more books in this series.
What are you waiting for? Just click your preferred platform below and let's get to reading!

~~~NEW RELEASE~~~ ALPHA UNLEASHED (ALPHA GIRL BOOK 5)



Blurb:
 Tessa McCaide has had it up to here with supernaturals. Luciana may have failed to steal Tessa’s magic, but she’s just getting started on her crusade for magical domination. If her demonic summoning isn’t stopped, it could mean the end of everything.
 Tessa’s allies, including her mate Dastien, are ready to fight, but they’re no match for Luciana’s power. A little help (and ancient Inca mojo) from Tessa’s cousin, Claudia, may give the side of good a chance if she can make it home in time, but stopping the war is no longer an option.
 When witches and wolves fight, no one wins. Only time will tell who will still be standing after the last spell is cast.

~~~NEW RELEASE~~~ THIS MEANS WAR by A.M. Wray

Blurb:
This Means War
Smooth… Classy… Professional… Sexy…
All words that Taylor would have used to describe her dream employer, Alexander Stone – CEO of Stone Literary Agency. That is, until she met him. Now there are much different words coming to mind…
Overgrown Man-child.
Her incredibly serious, professional demeanor clashes with Alexander’s sweetness and vibrant sense of humor and he loves to get her angry. He just can’t seem to wait to hear the next terrible thing she’ll say to him. Taylor, however, isn’t one to back down and Alexander manages to bring out her own dark humor as her need to get even with him at every turn gets the better of her.
The game only barely gets started when she gets a little friendly advice that she can’t seem to shake. Things begin to change for Taylor and she begins to find the girl that she used to be. The more these changes take place, the more her life seems to spiral out of her control.
When her secrets catch up with her as trouble comes knocking, everyone she loves is put in danger. Taylor’s life is threatened and she learns that Alexander has some secrets of his own. Maybe he isn’t just the sexy yet silly, unprofessional man-child she once thought him to be after all…

Nobody can run forever and the past is about to catch up with her. With nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, how many more people will suffer at the hand of Anna's hidden past?

~NEW RELEASE~ BRUJA by Aileen Erin

 
Blurb
Claudia De Santos has always looked out for every witch but herself. She fought from the shadows as her coven turned dark, and with a little help from her half witch/half alpha werewolf cousin, Tessa, Claudia is doing everything she can to keep her friends and family in the light.
Now the coven has splintered into two factions: Luciana’s army of witches wielding dark magic, and Claudia’s few stragglers who fight with the wolves. War is coming, and it won’t be much of a battle if Claudia can’t find the spells to counteract Luciana’s demonic power.
The answers lie in ancient magic, and Claudia must journey to Peru to rediscover what the Inca mages knew. Fighting evil will require a pure spirit, but her quest is full of temptations, including a handsome Peruvian guide with secrets of his own.
 
As she struggles to gain the knowledge her friends will need in the coming battle, conflict rages in Claudia’s heart. Following through with her arranged marriage could bring hope and more allies to the side of good, but at the cost of her own happiness. Should Claudia stay on the same path of duty she’s always walked or risk it all—her life and the futures of all brujos—for a chance at something more?
