A Touch of Crimson (#1)
by
Sylvia Day.
 
This novel belongs to the Renegade Angels series  and I have spent this week adding three more to my shelf.
 
A Dark Kiss of Rapture (#o.5)
 
 

A Caress of Wings (#1.5)

 
&
 
A Hunger so Wild (#2)

Feature & Follow #19

 
 
 
 
Feature & Follow is a blog hop hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. The purpose is to meet new people and gain more followers in the book blogging community. If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers. But you have to know, the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.

Here’s this week’s question:
 
What book do you think everyone should read? If you could gift the entire population with one book?
 
 
This is difficult for me to answer because there is not just one book, but many I would like everyone to read. However, since I can not name them all, I'll select just a few of my favorites.
 
In no particular order of preference:
 
 
Obsidian / Onyx / Opal
(The Lux Series)
 
Inescapable / Intuition / Indebted / Incendiary
(The Premonition Series)
 
Hush Hush / Crescendo / Silence / Finale
(Hush Hush Series)
 
and of course, my own Mystery Falls
 
 
I'm sorry! I realise that I have not completely addressed the question. But I simply cannot reduce my choice to just one book.

This week, my swoon comes from my current read -
 
Awakening
(The Watchers Trilogy #1)
by
Karice Bolton

 

Alone in snowy, remote Whistler village, Ana tries to build a new life since losing her parents. With a cozy condo, a sweet-faced bulldog and an evening job to leave the days free for the slopes, life slips into a great routine. If only she could shake the guilt for not remembering anything about her parents and banish the night terrors that haunt her every dream.
On a whim, Ana goes out with Athen, a guy she's just met in the Grizzly Pub... The only problem is that she feels like she already knows him.
Within 48 hours of meeting Athen and his family, Ana's world implodes. She falls for Athen quickly and before she knows it, a past life begins to resurface. As thrilling as the revelations appear at first, she fights against the chilling information that Athen is from the underworld. Soon she begins to struggle as her own supernatural gifts are slowly unveiled, and she realizes that the nightmares she's been having might be premonitions and not dreams at all.
It is up to Ana to decipher between fact and fiction before it is too late, and her new love, Athen, follows in her same fate - one that is lost between two worlds.
 

My Swoon
 
"Athen, you couldn't have done anything more perfect."
 
He looked down at me. His hands slowly rose up my back and cradled me as his lips touched down to mine. My senses were ignited in a way that I had never thought possible. The only way that I could help myself in this moment was to kiss him back. The warmth of his breath came over me as I held him tight, and the sensations ripped through my body. His lips stung mine like thistles. The electricity running between us was almost painful, but I couldn't stop being this close to him. It was as if a lifetime had passed between us in the last twenty-four hours of meeting, and I didn't want another second to go by without experiencing him throughout me.
