Daylight
Mattie is a vampire. She is young and gets around with her young friends. All she wants is to go to a party. Her "Mother", or creator has issues and Mattie is about done with her. When she finally gets to the party she meets Graham. He is different and she is intensely drawn to him. After a unusual encounter, she makes the decision to leave. Going to the town of Solace looking for a drug called Daylight, which will allow Mattie to not burn in the sun, and start her new life. The town is full of twits, turns and a surprise or two.
This is a book 1 in a series. Keep that in mind when reading the story. Mattie is a young vamp who is going out on her own. She is longing for a boy she can't find and wanting the daylight drug. She knows she can find it in the town of Solace. A vamp ran town. The story is different than your usual vampire love story books. It is a little slow in the beginning (the set-up) but stay with it. It definitely picked up as the story unfolds. I hope as the series continues we learn more about Graham and there relationship. Overall a good story but hoping for more in book 2.

Review od Seducing a Mermaid by Karli Rush
Seducing a Mermaid
Sam is on the verge of a big new art gallery. He is becoming pretty famous but has been in a rut with his art. To get some solace and hopefully a muse, he goes to his sisters home out on the island. He finds more than his muse. Will he be able to follow his heart when the time comes?
This is a novella and I didn't want to give away to much of the story. Easy read in one sitting. 17+ and older recommended, there are some pretty good love scenes. It is very well written and I loved the whole idea of the story. I would have loved to know more about certain characters and even more on the story. That is my only complaint, it was not long enough. Thanks for the great read.

About the Author
Karli has always blazed her own trail, whether popular or not. She has three wonderful sons and is contently married to a supportive husband. Her passion outside of writing is photography and all things natural. She is an Autism advocate and enjoys hiking, bike riding and family. Karli was born deep in Cherokee Nation Indian Territory where she grew up loving everything paranormal and has even, first hand, witnessed a womanly spirit. The sighting, as it is referred to, occurred in Eureka Springs, Arkansas one of the top ten most haunted hotels, The Crescent Hotel. This experience captured Karli in ways that have expanded her beliefs about the possibilities of other realms. As a teen, Karli was an avid reader, she sought out solitude for her passion in nearby Indian Graveyards. Although writing was something that has pulled at her most of her life, it wasn't until a recent visit to a Shaman, who saw her spirit's need for creativity, that she truly began down the path. The Crescent Bound series is her first work which will consist of five books in all. She is simply thrilled to be able to share all the adventures of Alyssa Worthington with you. Karli's ideal world would be one of open-minded kindness from everyone.

Review of Crescent Bound Crescent Bound Series Book 1 by Karli Rush
Crescent Bound
Crescent Bound Series Book 1
by
Karli Rush
Alyssa
Worthington is the daughter and sole heir to the most prestigious coven
in the witch world. Her childhood has been spent in the mundane human
world learning to blend in and hide who she truly is, and it is here,
during her last year that she meets a striking ex-high school
quarterback from a small town in Montana who will turn her world upside
down.
Alyssa holds the element of fire, unlike her best friends Lisa and Megan, who are both air elementals. It is the elemental powers that reside inside which require positive thoughts and positive actions in order to maintain this magickal connection. What would happen to a witch that let this get out of control? How can evil become the driving force behind revenge and death?
Dark secrets, dark magick and a desperate desire for revenge will bring Alyssa to the brink of destruction. She is being chased, but this pursuit is a silent one and her chaser has but one goal, Alyssa’s complete and total destruction. Will she overcome this dark threat and begin to live out her destiny? Will she survive and if so, will she lose herself as part of the price for being alive? Or, will her destiny rest on being crescent bound?

absolutely loved this book! If you like to read books about witches
this one's the one to read. It has everything you need to keep it
entertaining & make you want to keep reading until you finish. Once
you start it, you can't put it down. This is an amazing read and it
had me turning pages til the very end. The story line was exciting
& fast paced & the characters easy to love. The ending was
amazing. I can't wait to read the 2nd book in this series.. This is the
first book I've read by this author, and I'd love to read more
I rate this book 5 stars

REVIEW-Shadow Bound - Book 4 (Crescent Bound) by Karli Rush
This is the fourth book in the Crescent Bound Series. Parts of this
story will be clearly understood if books one through three are read
prior to this novel.
A Seer bound to a King by a prophesy , he will have good years, plenty of food, rule in wars....as long as not 1 drop of blood is shed by the seer.
A King who see's more to the seer than a seer but as a woman.
Alyssa was kept up tighter than a drum so that the prophesy stayed true. But a seer wanting to be loved for who she is not what she is.
Will a war and blood be shed so that 2 people may come to love one another?
WOW, just WOW. This story was so not what I was expecting and yet it went above and beyond.
The characters are so well presented that you really come to care for all of them.
This story Shows that True Love will travel generations to reunite.
I Highly Recommend this book.
