Where do you go when there is nowhere left to run? 

For years the Society for Human Preservation has been waging a quiet war against the Shifters & Seers of the world, and now they've taken two of the Alpha Pack's own. 

With the ability to See inside a person's mind, Lizzie Anders is one of the most powerful Seers in the world, but all that power comes with the responsibility of protecting herself and others from what she can do. And now, after years of suppressing her Sight, the SHP is intent on tearing down the walls she's carefully constructed to further their cause. 

Layne Hagan is the boy no one wanted. Abandoned by his mother when he was a baby and orphaned by his father in Scout's battle to become Alpha Female, he was handed off by his grandparents to live with Charlie and the rest of the Alpha Pack. He's never had a place or purpose... until now. 

With no one left to rely on but each other, Lizzie and Layne must learn to put their past behind them and learn to trust each other - and their hearts - again.

Scornful Sadie - Felicia Tatum

I am finally back in the writing/reading/blogging game after a long, unanticipated break.  What a better way to start back with my book reviews than with a book that I LOVED???  I received a digital copy of "Scornful Sadie" from the author in exchange for an honest review.  I will admit, I was nervous when I began to read this book because I did not realize it was a continuation of the White Aura series and I have only finished reading book 1 of that series.  However, I was able to jump right into this book and I was not confused as to any of the characters or anything that was happening.  I own the other three books in the White Aura series and I will be moving them to the front of my TBR list.  If they are as well written as "Scornful Sadie," then I know I will not be disappointed.

"Scornful Sadie" picks up several years after the White Aura series ends and follows the story of Sadie, one of the supporting characters in the White Aura series.  After suffering tragedy and heartbreak, Sadie left her family to start a life and adventure of her own, hidden from everyone she loved.  Her goal was to destroy all of the evil supernatural beings she could come across.  After becoming a target of the evilest supernatural being imaginable and being found by her family, Sadie finally goes home to face her family, rediscover her true love, and fight the evil that threatens to destroy everything and everyone she loves.

Sadie is by far one of my favorite fictional heroines. She has the right amount of stubbornness, kick-assedness, and sass.  She can balance brains, love, and fight.  She is strong, yet vulnerable.  She is one of the few leading ladies in a fictional story that does not make me roll my eyes and want to stab her.  I could actually wish to be Sadie.  There is not a single character in this book that I dislike.  They are all very well developed and each one serves their own purpose.  The description of the sorcerer world and realms in this book is phenomenal.  The plot never drags and moves at a constant pace.  There were no points in the story line where I wondered why the author put something in there.  All in all, it was a very entertaining and well written book.  I loved it.  I cannot wait to read the next installment of Sadie's adventure, because this one left off with a cliffhanger that is going to haunt me for days.
