~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I have tried to get every novella and book for each series I have listed. I also got quite a bit of my information off Goodreads and Amazon. Therefore publication dates may be changed. I also may have missed many series of Adult books that are out there, this is mainly a list of Adult series that I have read. After I finish with my Adult series list(s) I have read, I may make a list of books that I haven't read, but would like to.

*~* (To read in order follow numbers of books and novellas example Nva 0.5 then Bk 1 then Nva. 1.5 etc. If there is no number after a book, then it is a companion book can be read whenever.)*~*

*Nva. stands for Novella which is a short story within the universe of the books

*TBR stands for to be released

*Companion books are books that take place in the universe, but don't have to be a story.

***I have also split them into categories, this is mostly my way to help tell what a book is about, this does not mean that the books are categorized this way in the publishing world.***

Caleo by james crawford

Caleo

james crawford

Every High School has their social outcasts. The band nerds, the math geeks, the chess club, the girl that chews her hair, but at Butler even the creepy nose picker in the chess club is more popular than Caleo Anima. No matter what he did, his pale skin, snow white hair, and piercing blue eyes always made him an easy target. He used to think that the only way things could get worse would be if someone found out that he was gay, but that isn't even the tip of the iceberg of problems after a mysterious stranger shows up and changes Caleo’s life forever.
Hidden amongst our society, a secret and magical race of people known as ‘Leeches’, have been engaging in civil war for decades. Both sides are desperately searching for a weapon with unlimited power that will give them the advantage they need to rule their world. This wouldn’t mean anything to Caleo, except for one problem...He is that weapon!
Forget making it through High School. Caleo has bigger problems! As the search for him goes on, the world is quickly crumbling around him. He's now fighting for his life and the life of what little family he has left. With the help of new friends, he has little time to try and master his newly found powers as he tries to figure out who he can trust, who is trying to use him, and who just wants him dead. One wrong step and being the awkward pale outcast will be the LEAST of his worries.

~*~My Review~*~

The cover is what pulled me in then the book kept me hooked!

This book was intense! I loved reading it and by the time last page came around I was screaming for more!

At first I thought that Caleo was a very confused frightened angry, yet deeply honest, passionate, funny boy. I still think all those things, although I would have to add brave. I enjoyed reading about him and how he changed and grew and discovered more of who he is.

I went into this book after reading the blurb having missed the entire sentence that he was gay. I have nothing against him being gay, although I thought it quite odd looking back to when he was teasing the two boys in the locker room, just seemed an odd thing to do to me. I don't tend to read many books dealing with gay characters, even though I have enjoyed those that I have read. Someone who is very close to me is gay, and I really liked how this subject was brought up in the book. As in what the Blessed thought of homosexuality, and how they dealt with females as well. I am sincerely hoping that book 2 explores this more. I haven't read yet how many books there will be beyond two, but I truly hope that this continues. I think it seems logical that this particular subject may force a change of opinions among the Blessed, considering their 'leader' is gay.

I loved how we followed Caleo's growing attraction to Nolan, and even the attraction that I think was there with Jack. I know Jack is attracted to Caleo, but I am still unsure how much Caleo likes Jack as more than a brother. I thought the relationships between each character were brilliantly done, and loved every moment of reading about them.

Stinky/Mickey was an interesting twist, and I am hoping that it is explained more in book 2. I kinda thought maybe the cuffs could have been explained more, I am still a tad confused by this. I am hoping Alix is also explained a bit more in book 2 and even Thorn. I have questions about Gabriel if there are more leeches like him, with his power. I am curious to find out what happened to Nolan, and what this means for the next book. I am also curious to learn more about Leeches, and what it all means and what role an Angel plays within this separate species.

I give this book a 4.5 star rating overall, and I encourage those who enjoy reading YA paranormal books with deep emotional tones and issues, to read this book!

Very well done Mr. Crawford!
