The Forbidden Trilogy! By Kimberly Kinrade Book Tour First Chapter too!



Welcome to my stop on The Forbidden Trilogy book tour. Brought to you by Innovative Online Tours. Here you
can read a synopsis of the book, my review. I also have a bio of author Kimberly Kinrade and First Chapter. Don’t forget to visit the other blogs on this tour for more information and other reviews about this book and author.


Title: The Forbidden Trilogy
Author: Kimberly Kinrade
Publisher: Evolved Publishing
Publication Date: November 26, 2012
Links:Goodreads




Real Name Hunter Riley
Height 6'3"
Weight 198
Eyes Green
Hair Black and Silver
Age 23


You can read my full Forbidden Mind Review post Here.

























Extra little tidbit of Drake (only a tiny sample)


Real Name Drake Davis
Height 6'1"
Weight 200
Eyes blue
Hair blonde
Age 19


From Drake:
You don’t expect anything good to come out of being kidnapped, especially on the day I was set to win a major surfing contest. Dude, it seriously sucks!
How they got the jump on me, I’ll never know. It’s kind of embarrassing. I can control minds and kick ass, so how’d this happen?
Well, all I can say is I’m glad it happened. I know, that’s crazy, right? But I’d never have met Sam if some blockheads hadn’t wiped me out on Venice Beach that day. Also, we kind of need each other to get out of this seriously F’d up situation, so…
Maybe fate?
But there’s more. She’s special, different. The last girl I hooked up with, let’s just say she was more of a one-nighter that got out of hand. Sam’s a girl I could see spending every night with, forever. No, more than that. Sam’s the girl I can’t imagine my life without.
I can’t even tell you how painful it is to be stripped of my powers and held captive, knowing some of the things they’re doing to Sam. You don’t even want to know what I’m doing to do to those bastards when I get my strength back. If you’ve got a weak stomach, you might want to turn your head.
I’d kill for her and I’d die for her. But most of all, I’d live for her.



My review of this whole series together, with the extra content.


I absolutely love this series as a whole, as you probably can tell if you read my reviews of all 3 books. They are pretty long, and no need to put them all here.

Through the whole series, I just fell in love with these characters. 

What I really liked is we did not get thrown a whole bunch of characters all at the same time in book one. More were added as the books went one, so this made it very easy to keep track of who is who, and all of that.
Sam and Drake are the best; to me they have an epic love. Being they first developed this without even meeting face to face. 

Sam can read minds, and Drake can control minds, and somehow they were able to connect with each other through their minds. More on that in the first books review. But the point is, they fell in love over time, and from being connected this way. I loved that.

Luke and Lucy are great; I love them and what they can do. I really loved when Hunter came into the story, in the 3rd book. Just wish he would of came on the scene sooner.

The extra content is great. I loved having that to read. Won’t tell you about it, as If you have not read any of these, it could spoil a lot for you.

Overall, if you liked the x-men movies or Dark Angel from years ago, you will love this. This reminds me more of a show that is on TV now, called Alphas, they also have these type of abilities,  and have a task force to find and protect other Alphas, which is what they call people with the Para-powers like they call in these books. If you have seen that and like it, you will love this series even more. As its more intense, and just amazing. I see some people say it has some dystopian in it, but I do not see that at all. But that’s my opinion.

Now you can get the whole series in this great 3 in one book, plus the great extra content.

I highly recommend this 3 in 1 book.

5 out of 5 stars

Real Name Sam (no last name)
Aliases Sam Smith
Height 5'6"
Weight 120
Eyes blue
Hair brown
Age 18
From Sam (small taste)
Reading minds isn’t as glamorous as you might imagine. First, everyone’s pretty much freaked out around you. No one wants to make eye contact, because they subconsciously think they can avoid detection that way. (It doesn’t work, by the way.) And everyone has thoughts that they would never want anyone else to know about.
Even you.
Think about it. How many times have you judged someone harshly, or thought something naughty or totally inappropriate or had a random urge to smack someone (or worse)? Most of us never act on these thoughts. In fact, 90% of them flitter through our consciousness so fast, we aren’t even fully aware of them.
But I am.
I hear those things you don’t even like to acknowledge in yourself. They dance around in my head like a song on repeat. I can’t ever rid myself of your darkest perversions. Is it any wonder Luke and Lucy are my only friends and I’ve never had a boyfriend?
Until Drake.
He’s unlike any other guy I’ve ever known, and not just because he has inhuman physical strength and can control people with his mind, every guy I grew up with at Rent-A-Kid had some para-power. No, it’s who he is on the inside.
He’s fearless and accepts me 100% for who I am. He isn’t scared of my powers and he doesn’t try to hide who he is from me. He let me in to his most intimate secrets and laid himself bare for me to judge.
It’s hard, though. I have mixed feelings about the whole mind control thing. Our roles are reversed, you see. While he accepts me, I find myself scared of his power. But I’m working on it. Together, we face some big challenges.

Guest Post by Kimberly Kinrade Author of Forbidden Trilogy





My Forbidden Life Review

Ok, I really didn't think that this series could get better, as its so darn good anyway, but it did, it got even better. For those who are not yet familiar with this series (where have you been? Hiding under a rock? Lol) This series is a lot like X-Men/Dark Angel, with some Alphas (scifi channel show I love) , then throw in a little of Covert Affairs (spy show I watch) and you have the Forbidden Trilogy! We have some new hotness in this one too, named Hunter Riley! Boy is he hot and all made, whew, see the postcard I posted.

In this book, its about Sam, Drake, Luke, and Lucy, now with Hunter, and the IPI agents who are helping them free the other Para-powers kids (paranormal abilities, think X-men) then of course the arrival if Ana, Sam and Drakes baby. (she is still a virgin, the horrible Rent-A-Kids foundation impregnated her , as they want her baby for the powers it will have, they figured Drake and Sam’s powers combined would be unstoppable.)

This one has some excitement all over the place, we have poor Luke and Lucy, playing Survivor on a isolated island, that has weird stuff going on (think Lost, lol) but with some weird creatures and other strange happenings. Lucky for them, the other IPI agents had set up camp there, so they get hooked up with them, and this is where Hunter comes on the scene, and Lucy and Hunter hit it off. (I won’t get into details, but Luke and Lucy were on a mission to save the youngest para-kids, and the plane crashed, they jumped out) But I want to leave this as spoiler free as I can, let’s just say, some major Mission Impossible stuff goes on, none stop action and suspense. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and up to the wee hours of the morning to finish reading it!  Hunger Games fans will love this, as well any anyone who likes the paranormal and scifi type books, heck, even romance, as there is more of it in this one.

Here is a funny part with Luke and Lucy:

Did you know that apes share a very similar genetic makeup to humans, and that if humans ate more like apes, they'd be much healthier? Well, apes eat a lot of green leafy vegetables, but guess where they get their protein?"Luke shrugged."You're not going to guess? Fine. I'll tell you anyway. They get it from bugs found in their greens. Bugs like this one. I'm not saying we should start serving it for dinner at home, but for now, when we're so depleted from using our powers, being attacked, jumping from a plane, swimming through an ocean and passing out on a deserted island, yeah, I think we need to get some protein in us however we can. And since you are apparently too chewy, it's Bug Brunch time."

 Here is another part, on the island, with Hunter the hunk, and Lucy, that had me cracking up!

"Would you like to hold my sword?" He asked the question with a gleam in his eyes.Lucy burst out laughing. At least she didn't giggle again. "You did not just say that. But, um, yeah, I'd like to hold your sword, Agent Riley."Hunter grinned and unzipped his backpack, pulling out something surprisingly small. He held it out to her, and noticed the disappointed look on her face. "Expecting something bigger?"She smirked at his continued play on words. She had a lifetime of training in verbal and physical sparring; he was no match for her. "They say size doesn't matter, but I disagree."Hunter, who apparently hadn't expected her response, choked on his own comeback and unsheathed the sword, then placed it in her hand. "You have to stroke it a certain way to make it bigger."

Drake is off on his own, spiraling down in self-loathing. He has hit bottom, but he may have found a way to get his powers back, but what will it cost him? I am not telling!
Ana is in danger, Sam will do anything to protect her, and they find out that Ana is the key to everything.

This is a must read trilogy, this final installment left me satisfied, but exited too. Didn’t get enough of Hunter, but still loved it.

Joining the IPI with me, be a part of it. Details at Kimberly’s website and FB page.

5 out of 5 stars for me.  Loved it!!

Book Tour: Forbidden Fire by Kimberly Kinrade #Giveaway, Review Excerpt.




Welcome to my stop on The Forbidden Fire book tour. Brought to you by Innovative Online Tours. Here you
can read a synopsis of the book, my review, and First Chapter, and a Giveaway! I also have a bio of author Kimberly Kinrade. Don’t forget to visit the other blogs on this tour for more information and other reviews about this book and author

Title: The Forbidden Fire
Author: Kimberly Kinrade
Publisher: Evolved Publishing
Publication Date: March 27, 2012
Links: Goodreads 


BOOK BLURB: FORBIDDEN FIRE

"She escaped, but she'll never be free."

"Time held no meaning as my mind darted in and out of memories. Past and present collided to create a full-sensory collage out of my life: playing hide-n-seek with my best friends Luke--who always cheated by walking through walls when he was about to be caught--and Lucy; Mr. Caldrin critiquing my sketches and offering ideas to make them more realistic; targets changing faces, blending into the same person, their thoughts rippling through my mind like waves. Through it all, a demon stalked me from the shadows of my memories, never quite showing its face, but crouching, waiting.

And then I dreamed...."

Sam and Drake may have escaped, but they aren't free—not with a powerful Seeker after them. As Sam struggles with the ethics of her new powers and embraces a blossoming physical relationship with Drake, Lucy and Luke face challenges of their own.

With forces coalescing inside and outside the Rent-A-Kid dorms, it's only a matter of time before the fire they started forces each of them to make choices they can't undo. But will it be enough to save them?

Excerpt From Forbidden Fire




My Forbidden Fire Review

Wow, this story just keeps getting better and better. It flows so well from one book till the next. I was happy that I have them all here ready to read. And same with the last and final book, Forbidden Life, I am ready to pick it up too.

Since this is the 2nd book, and know some may not have read the first yet, I am being careful in this review, it will be spoiler free for both books, the best I can.

I loved Forbidden Mind, and love Forbidden Fire too.
This series reminds me of a few TV shows I had watched in the past, and now. In the past, I watched a show called Dark Angel, this reminds me of it; in the way that the kids are locked up, and trained for the companies own uses, and tracking devices installed too. But in this series, the kids are more like the x-men characters, and a whole lot like a show I watch on Sci-Fi channel called Alphas, in that one, its not kids, but adult with all sorts of Para-powers too, but they call them Alphas. 

Anyway, the point is, even though these are all similar in ways, this story in itself is unique.

I am hooked like you would not believe in this series, and will be sad to see it end. I really am impressed with Kimberly’s writing style, and am very comfortable in reading it.
I love how we get to be in different points of view. In this one, we get inside many, Sam, Drake, Lucy and more.

I do not want to say much more about the story, as to not spoil it, but its intense, exciting, and non-stop action. You will be on the edge of your seat reading as fast as you can to see what happens next. It has been really hard to put down, for sleep, lol.
I highly recommend this series. It’s great for all ages, you get the sci-fi spin with the paranormal in there too, with some romance. Love it.

5 out of 5 stars for me.

I was provided a copy of this book for my honest review for the book tour by Innovative Online Book Tours.
