So when I finished Hope(Less), I emailed Melissa to tell her what I thought about it and to confirm the blog posting. I immediately told her that I couldn't wait to read Book 2 so she sent it to me. Did I mention she sent it earlier yesterday (Thursday) and of course I couldn't resist and had to read it right then?The Judgement of the Six series is amazingly good. They are just the right dose of paranormal and romance and perfect for anyone of any age. There is so much action and each story contains a couple that take their time to get to know one another but are all incredibly loyal.With (Mis)fortune, Melissa introduces us to Michelle, a 19 year old girl who lost her mother and is being controlled by a business associate of her stepfather. When something tragic happens, she knows that she must make her escape from Blake and get her and her two young half brothers safely away.After she escapes, she encounters a man at the diner who with his mere look makes her stomach do flip flops. However, she has serious trust issues and feels like she has to be wary to maintain her brothers' safety. When the bad guys find her at the diner, the stranger, Emmitt, steps in and helps her escape and offers to provide her help until she can get far enough away to feel safe.Emmitt takes Michelle to his home and offers her living quarters and protection from what she is running from. As Michelle sticks around, she becomes hesitant about the feelings that stir when looking at Emmitt. Emmitt on the otherhand, along with Jim his brother and Nana, provide so much support that she knows that staying is the best possible option for her and her brothers.However, she is keeping a large secret from the all. As this secret becomes harder and harder to keep to herself, she agrees to tell Emmitt as he begins to unveil his secret to her, he is a werewolf.Michelle doesn't know if she can handle this truth. (Mis)fortune deals with Michelle's feelings of control and understanding who she can and can't believe in. As her past starts to catch up with her, she has to determine if she can truly trust Emmitt and whether committing to him will be the answer to a number of her questions.All I can tell you is read the books! If you are a fan of paranormal, these are some great books for you. Even better, these are great books for young teenagers and provides amazing stories with just a hint of lessons learned. If I was around Melissa, I would definitely have to kiss her for sending both of these amazing books to me. I feel like I have jumped hard out of my angst handover to a series of fun, romance and love all within a few jokes and family love.
