Summary: The concept exceeds the execution
Review: in this supernatural confection. Prose too purple for the rather sketchily developed plotline (for all the bloodshed and fake-Hispanic hoodoos, Raven's motivation ends up coming across as anticlimactic, since her viewpoint is no more fleshed out than are the sudden shifts of location necessitated by her curse). And the (too many) phrases in Spanish are a scandal! Just checking a Spanish-English dictionary would at least take care of the goofy gender mixups. But the idea for this story, with the romance angle, has great potential.

Summary: What a thriller!
Review: Light a few candles, turn off all the lights and get ready to be spooked silly after reading Beware the Kiss by novelist J. Alex Acker. A paranormal mystery, Acker introduces characters guaranteed to scare the bejesus out of you!Raven Delaire is a woman scorned, and as most scorned women go, quite unbalanced. Swearing vengeance on those who have caused her pain, she embarks on a journey filled with poetic curses that unveil, piece by piece, culminating during the midnight hour on all Hallow's Eve. Tayler Windquest is the practical journalist, happy with her world of facts and figures, a peaceful existence until someone tries to kill her! When a beautiful and reclusive neighbor saves Tayler, she finds she is drawn, not only to this mystery woman, but also into a web of treachery and sorcery where she must learn to trust newfound powers to destroy Raven -- before Raven destroys them all! Beware the Kiss is the first part of a three book trilogy featuring this enchanting cast of characters. All we can say is "more, more, more!"

Summary: A thrilling beginning
Review: Tayler Windquest is saved from a brutal attack by her neighbor and landlord Erica Kirsten-Laird, who also turns out to be her mother's former lover. Tayler becomes infatuated with Erica and finds herself drawn into a dangerous web because an evil witch named Raven Delaire has targeted Erica for death. When Tayler finds that her feelings for Erica are reciprocated, she must find the powers within herself to stop Raven and save the woman she loves. Acker's captivating tale is a full-throttle supernatural thriller (the first of a trilogy) that is as confounding for the reader as it is for Tayler. The elements of Raven's curse and her motivations are revealed as the story progresses, but they don't answer all the questions. And the book could do with a bit of editing (especially that Spanish!) to streamline the story and clarify details, but overall it is great entertainment.

Summary: A Must Read Book for Everyone
Review: This book has it all! Mystery, suspense, romance, intrigue. No matter what you generally like to read this is a must read for everyone. Don't be surprised if you can't put it down once you start! The best part is knowing that there are two more books in the series. I can't wait to see what Raven will do next and how the curse will appear in the next two books. I hope we don't have to wait long for the next one!

Summary: Beware the Kiss
Review: This novel touches a little on the sci-fi and supernatural world. I'm not much of a fan, but "Beware the Kiss" was different. A web is woven between two women Erica and Taylor which can never happen because of the curse. There is passion bursting from their relationship which never comes to pass because of the consequences. I found myself unable to put this book down. Great, easy read!
