Early Praise For Forbidden
The book is told from the main characters’ alternating point of view, it’s mostly told from Sophia’s very poetic perspective, which I found funny and endearing.
And even though I encountered several similarities to another paranormal series, it doesn’t matter in the overall scheme of things, because even though you’ll most likely smile and reminisce, it won’t help you predict the plot development, much less prepare you for its unfolding. It is completely different and literally heart stopping.
The book ends with a very happy non ending. Because it leaves you with as many answered as new unanswered questions that will make you want to click pre-order button on second installment if it were available.
I totally loved it.
A TOAST FOR ST. PATTY’S DAY!!
May you be across Heaven’s threshold before the old boy knows you’re dead!
A Dream. 
My spirits soar on high,
Inebriated with thoughts so pure.
I now can fly,
Nothing is obscure.
Spiritual healing is taking place,
As I rise to heavens realms.
Beams of joy cover my face,
Nothing can me overwhelm.
I have seen the heavens gates,
Beautiful light paves the way,
Music sweet to soul and ear,
I have nothing more to say.

Here is another nice review for FORBIDDEN from Goodreads
Sophie made me laugh a lot because she is so stubborn and so suspicious of everything. I really enjoyed following her through this book as she deals with Michael, Dante, her father, and herself.
With Michael, I loved him right away and his brothers. Yeah he’s quite a grouch to start, but has good reason. He’s also gorgeous with his perfect body, blonde locks, and baby blues. You can see that Michael is an all around good guy… then again why wouldn’t he be? On the other side, literally, is Dante. Both boys are hot as hell, and Dante has the dark hair and green eyes (killer for me!). As much as Dante is “bad” I couldn’t hate him because everything he does, he does for Sophia.
With this book, I actually feel like it is more YA than NA. Maybe in future books it’ll seem more NA, though not sure. The reason I say that is because the main character is in high school and there isn’t any real raunchy scenes, so don’t let the NA classification scare you away. Also, were there similarities to other books, sure, but once I got into this book I couldn’t put it down. I loved following Sophia and Michael and that’s what ultimately matters to me, a story that you cannot put down and enjoy reading. I also liked the feel of darkness this book kind of has, it helped draw me in. Overall I really enjoyed Forbidden and will be on the look out for the next book!
So excited to share this gorgeous cover!!
AWAKEN: THE SOULKEEPERS (#2)
Available JULY 15, 2014
More Reviews coming in!!
Not only were the characters well developed, but the paranormal elements were awesome as well.Other than that, my only issues with the book was a small amount of lag between the 65%-83% mark, and the absolute sheer stupidity that Sophia managed to display during one of the pivotal moments in the story.In my opinion, Ms. Adams has managed to start her series off right,and I am looking forward to either pre-ordering the sequel “Awaken” or “1-Clicking” it, once it is released.

Forbidden The Soulkeepers by Lori Adams
I was pleasantly surprised that the author did not get even a little preachy with her story. With a book about angels where one of the characters is a preacher, it would have been very easy to incorporate morals and scripture into the storyline. But Miss Adams was all about the fiction. I look forward to finishing this series!
The release date for FORBIDDEN . . .
is approaching–APRIL 15th–so I thought I would start posting some #earlyreviews now. Needless to say, this is my debut novel, and I’m just a little bit excited.
Right now, I am drawing from two sources where honest reviews are posted: Wattpad and Goodreads.
The original version of Forbidden was simply named Soulkeepers and posted on wattpad.
This writing hub was a wonderful way to connect with writers and readers who love books. It was my first time to introduce my work and my characters to readers, and I’m so happy that I did. Wattpaders are very helpful with their insightful comments as well as being extremely generous with their time.

I’m very active on Goodreads and invite any book lovers to stop by. It’s a great place to connect with your favorite authors and to discover new books through recommendations. Reviews for Forbidden found on Goodreads come from advance copies provided by publishers to #Netgalley ‘in exchange for an honest review’. And yes, they are honest! NetGalley reviewers have a lot of books to choose from, and I really appreciate their time and effort when choosing Forbidden.
FORBIDDEN: The Soulkeepers . . . in pictures.
I thought I would start adding some visuals of Book One of the Soulkeepers series until we reach April 15th, the release date. More can be found here at pinterest if you can’t wait.
Forbidden takes place in Haven Hurst, a small fictitious town in gorgeous Connecticut.
A lovely view of the countryside.
Beautiful Fall colors.
So picturesque!
Reviews for FORBIDDEN
Happy Thursday everyone!
I thought I would add a quick update before sweetheart day arrives. Reviews for Forbidden are trickling in from NetGalley and posted on Goodreads.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Netgalley, it’s like an oasis website for readers who agree to read books (of their choosing) in exchange for an honest review. Those reviews are posted on their personal blogs and reading hubs such as Goodreads, Amazon, Barns and Noble, etc.
Since many of you have already read Forbidden: The Soulkeepers on wattpad, I invite you to stop by Goodreads (or any blogs you frequent) and add an honest review. I am always on Goodreads, updating my reading list and current reads. It’s a great place to connect with authors and readers, get recommendations for books, and join discussions. But be warned, it’s serious business over there. They LOVE LOVE LOVE books and sharing their thoughts about them. But hey, who doesn’t 🙂
New Adult Book Review by Lori Adams
SHREDDED by Tracy Wolff
Just in time for the Olympics!!
This is my first Tracy Wolff novel and the title says it all . . . these characters are completely shredded.
Z Michaels, a professional snowboarder who’s torn up more hearts than mountains, collides with Ophelia Richardson, a southern girl with a serious don’t-mess-with-me-attitude.
The story immediately hooks you with its sizzling connection between Z and Ophelia against the frigid backdrop of Park City, Utah. This is Z’s playground to burn up the slopes and melt more than snow with his “too-gorgeous-for-his-own-or-anyone-else’s-good” looks. But beneath the layers of protection, Z has dark secrets and scars that he hides from the world. Ophelia, who ironically works at the Lost Canyon ski lodge, is truly lost; she has come to Park City from New Orleans in hopes of escaping the reckless tragedy that killed her boyfriend and left her physically and emotionally scarred. She has no desire to hook up with another adrenalin junkie, especially with the resident bad boy like Z. But has Ophelia misjudged Z? And why is Z so determined to gain Ophelia’s trust?
The sexual tension is palpable between Z and Ophelia as they peel back their secrets and expose their vulnerable sides. Are they too shredded to heal? Or can they cling to each other and ride into the future together?
Shredded is sexy and intense with emotionally charged characters. Fans of Tracy Wolff will love SHREDDED!!
