The Crush Saga (a 9 book series)

Synopsis of the series:

I was born to die... But to defy fate is to control your own destiny. Little did I know that I was entering a world of ritual and magic and that my blood needed to be spilled so the witches’ legacy could be complete.

Vampires. Witches. Werewolves. Supernatural Creatures. Dramatic Revelations. A Ritual Sacrifice. Ancient Artifacts. A Cold-hearted Serial Killer. Spilled Blood. Secrets. A Hidden Heritage. A Love So Deep. Supernatural Bloodlust. A Dangerous Curse. An Uneasy Alliance With A Dangerous Vampire.

Legends of vampires and shape-shifters have been around for centuries, so Taylor Sparks isn’t too worried when the rumors start to fly. When Taylor learns secrets that are beyond terrifying, they threaten to destroy her entire world. She is born to die... But to defy fate is to control your own destiny.

She warns her crush to leave. But how do you forget someone who is aligned with your soul? They fight against the witches, the vampires, and the werewolves. They know the consequences. They know the risk. But they don't care. Nothing will get in the way of these two star-crossed lovers.

Taylor finds out she’s a KEY player in a dangerous game created 1,000 years ago that will give the witches and werewolves the upper hand against the vampires. Blood will be spilled and secrets will be revealed in this action-packed thrill ride and paranormal romance.

Will Taylor dive into a paranormal world she knows nothing about to be with the one her heart can’t live without? Or will her life spiral out of control when she learns her blood is needed, just the serum necessary to lift an ancient curse from a group of supernatural beings and give the witches back their magic? Werewolves will serve as her guardians and protect her until the first full moon of the new year, the night of her sacrifice…

Will she accept her destiny?

Or will she refuse to let evil swallow her up?

“Be resilient!”

“Never give up!”

“Be strong and courageous!”

“Be a champion!”

“Be you.”

“Stand tough.”

Life is a struggle…but keep fighting!

When life and death were on the line, Taylor Sparks didn’t become a victim, she became a WARRIOR.

I was born to die... But to defy fate is to control your own destiny. Little did I know that I was entering a world of ritual and magic and that my blood needed to be spilled so the witches’ legacy could be complete.

After careful consideration I must conclude that the female lead in this story is a psycho laced up in a straight jacket in a forgotten wing of some questionable institution and she is making up this whole story in her head. She would have to be crazy to stroll through her experiences in this story while barely questioning anything that should have thrown up red flags. Instead, she patiently waits for explanations from the male lead because she doesn't want to press him. What a great way to get raped and murdered by a murdering rapist in real life. Thankfully this book is fiction, and other than some suspect maturity inconsistencies, the female leads is spunky and interesting. I love the creative new take on vampires. To give them everything they lack and still make a solid representation deserves wicked credits. There were inconsistencies numbering in the dozens throughout the novel but in spite of those I was still drawn through the story and I ended up liking the tale. This book definitely does a good job of guarding its secrets until they are ready to be revealed, as I constantly found myself wondering WTF with faith that at some point my questions would be answered. Some were, others not so much, but my need to know the missing answers was fleeting and I won't be bothered by them unless I read the story again. There was one very consistent theme throughout the book, and that was the ex. The topic of the ex-boyfriend was a dead horse after the first mention, but that didn't stop it from getting beaten again and again. I'm surprised glue wasn't made. And six months to get over a boyfriend who wasn't a good match anyway? Ridiculous. Six weeks would have been a generous stretch. I feel like there were some close parallels to Twilight sometimes too close, I would have let that go if there weren't so many references to Twilight along with almost every other mainstream vampire story in existence. A constant barrage of movie references doesn't work as well in print as it does on screen methinks. Overall the story was a good tale and frankly I liked it more than I should have.

Horribly cheesy story written like it was set in the 1950s with modern pop culture references thrown in to look up-to-date. Cheap use of other previously written YA works to drag this story forward left me bored and frustrated to near rage-induced tantrum. All-in-all, if you like your female lead characters clingy and slightly dim-witted, this is the story for you. If not, headaches will occur from the amount of eye rolls and facepalms reading this story. Even free, this story is not worth it.
