Fic Rec: The Screamers


So this fic has been around for awhile, but I've only had the pleasure of reading it in it's entirety recently.

I'd like to start off by saying that this has become one of my favorites...a fic that I would rec to anyone.

Oh, you want to know which one?

I suppose I should tell you.




I started this fic just a few weeks ago and it quickly became something I craved everyday. I woke up and the first thing I wanted to do was read/review the next chapter. I lost myself in this story so deeply.

First of all you get sucked in, all consuming, the very first chapter. Edward, the fabulous Rock Star meets the most unlikely person that is about to change his life....and hers. That moment when 'the screamers' guided him into a moment, an alley, that would alter his life forever, thrusting him into a new realm of feeling, emotion and the courage to be a better man. But it's not about just him....Bella has a story too. A painful tale of survival, making her resistant to the changes in her own life. Two people, from very different worlds but struggling to overcome the pasts that have tortured them.

I won't say too much, I refuse to spoil a fic that way, but do trust me. A troubled superstar meets the most unlikely girl and what ensues will keep you riveted.

You will laugh, cry, maybe yell a little, I sure did. It's a story of growth, acceptance, trust and letting go of the past. It makes you question if you could endure, if you could forgive, if you could survive things that test your heart to its breaking point. Can you give up the tragedy of the past to embrace the future that awaits?

The depiction of the characters is hilarious, consistent and wonderfully executed. KiyaRaven paints a beautiful story of discovery...self worth...and most importantly love. There is a brilliant amount of humor involved that lightens the mood, but never takes away from the message...and that to me was... Growth. Promise. Letting go. Love.

Read if you haven't. I promise you will love it as much as I did. Take a ride with these two and witness the incredible bond and follow them on a path of self discovery and watch as their connection grows and how they mature as individuals to accept the lives they have been dealt.

Will their perfect salvation be realized? Will it fall apart around them and lead them to realize they are who they are?

Just read.

I fell in love with it right away and loved every minute of it. I can honestly say that I would gladly read this again and find a million more things I love about it.

thanks....

Fic Rec: My Perfect Mr Imperfect


I've got another fic that I am in love with and I want to share it with all of you.

This story came to me as a beta. I have worked on the author's previous stories and was so happy to hear that she was starting a new one and asked me to be her beta.

If you've read my bio, you know that I am really an E/B story lover, with a few exceptions. And this story is the epitome of my ideal.




My Perfect Mr Imperfect by xrxdanixrx is one of my top 5 fics right now. First of all, she is a fabulously detailed writer. It's not all about lemons - it's a story. She builds up to that. There is an undeniable, strong, realistic substance to her fics. I will get to her others later, because trust me, you will want to read them all.

In MPMI, Bella works for a successful auction house and is in love with her boss....Jasper. I know, I know...it's not Edward, but sit tight. Good things come to those who wait. Her and Jasper have cooled off...though the hope is still there for her.

She meets the disheveled, flannel wearing, scruffy friend of Jasper who is a new client of their business. He's not her type at all...yet, there is something there.

The story is so smooth and concise. It is full of the perfect ratio of angst, drama, happiness to keep you wanting more. You want to love/shake/squeeze/lock them in a room all at the same time. It's a satisfying story of finding a new love, stepping outside the box...letting go and trying to trust your emotions.

Dani is a wonderful author that weaves a tightly knit, perfectly paced story of self discovery, finding true love and determination to fight for what you want. The past may have a hold on you, but if you find that special someone, can they make the future better? You'll know if you read it.

This story is not complete, but trust me...you need to read it. Give yourself something to look forward to each week as she updates regularly (I know this for a fact).

Give it a read...I've never steered you wrong and I certainly wouldn't start now. Find out how love can find you in the most Imperfect situation.
