5 Super Stars for Finding Lily by Emma Shade






Lily Canton is a powerful vampire-conjurer hybrid, running from the pain of her best friend’s death. Though plagued by indecision over her choice to abandon everything, Lily dives head-first in to the covert organization that aided her in the past. 

Even though his deception led to Lily’s abrupt departure, vampire Ashton Ryder is determined to make things right and to bring the love of his life home. But the truth could destroy them before Ashton has the chance to make amends. Conjurer Blake Moore wants nothing more than to find Lily and win her heart once and for all. But even Blake has secrets with the power to destroy. Blake must find Lily before his past does. 

Unbeknownst to Lily, a storm is brewing with her at the center. Carefully buried secrets will be exposed, rocking the worlds of vampires and conjurers alike. 

Will Lily choose the man she truly loves? Or will the rising conflict between conjurers and vampires tear them apart?











I have to start by saying that I have been desperately waiting for Finding Lily by Emma Shade to be release. I just had to know......who does Emma choose, what happened to Sam......what about Paige and Alistair......who is Jeremy? Let me tell you this book 


Finding Lily picks up 2 months after Lily has left all that she knows behind her. She has been training and honing her skills as both Vampire and Conjour. With the help of Paige and Alistair she has started growing into here abilities. Now she an Paige are on their first assignment and little does she know but the secret of what she truly is is out. Now both Vampires and Conjours are out to get her. Both sides want to see her dead and someone on the inside is feeding them the information on where to find her. But there is hope, because her friends, the ones she left behind, the ones that she is trying to protect, are also trying to find her. It is a race against the clock to see who will find her first, who will win her heart once and for all.


"You're mine Liliana. Don't play games with me. You won't win."

Ashton! He has been going out of his ever loving mind trying to find Lily. He has called in every favor that he can think of. Everyone connected to Ashton in the Vampire community is out looking for Lily, trying to help him find her and bring her home. He knows that once they find her, there are things that he kept from her, (YEP it is a secret cause I am NOT going to spoil it) something that could make Lily turn away from him. He promised her that he would never keep secrets from her again, and believe me this one is a doozey! So now all he can do is wait and hope that when they find her, he can make things right between them.

"Don't ever push me out of a dream again. Okay?"

Blake! He is on the hunt for Lily too. He wants her safe, he wants to try and win her heart. He has been honest with her about his feelings and about the life that they could have together, but there is a BIG problem. Yep, you guessed it, Blake has been less than truthful to not only Lily, but the rest of the group. Believe me when he drops his bombshell, everyone will be affected in one way or another.

"Speaking of warming it up. Do you guys use tampons and stuff to make a vampire version of tea?"

OMG Sam! He is still as crazy, funny, lovable and loyal as ever. I am totally gonna get a BFF like Sam. He will stop at nothing to get Lily back where she belongs and in the words of good old Sam, "Once she knows I'm alive, it'll be okay. And I'll stangle her for leaving." He continues to always be there for Lily, giving her advice on how to handle Blake and Ashton. Adding the humor to the group that everyone loves so much, being the person that in the end, everyone just wants to have around.

"Are you challenging me? Alistair growled. "Because, trust me I'll drag you out of her by any means neccessary."

Paige and Alistair still have the love/hate/bicker thing going on, but as they say in the movies it is a find line between love and hate. These two are very protective of each other, but have just not moved on to the next level yet. Although, to everyone around them, it is a plain as the noses on their faces. I can't wait to see what might happen with these two in the future.

Sorry if you are looking for spoilers, you are out of luck, cause I am not going to spoil the best part of the book, but I can tell you, that FINALLY Lily does make her choice and it is the perfect ending to this story. I look forward to more stories by Emma. Can't wait to see what is in store next for our merry band of misfits. I loved this story so very much that I gave it 5 Super Stars.











Emma lives in Indiana with her husband and three crazy cats. When she’s not busy writing her next novel, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, listening to music, taking naps, or curled up with a good book.

Get The Book!


I can’t take my lips off her. I need her so much right now. I’m starving for her lips. I can’t catch my breath, but I can’t stop either. I need her to feel how much I love her, need her to know how much I need her and that everything I said was a fucking lie. It was all the fear of not being able to live up to her expectations, the horror of disappointing her. I pushed her away instead of talking to her. If only I’d told her before why I was doing this, to help her mom out, then maybe this would’ve never happened.
But fuck, I am happy she’s here and that she’s all right. She’s here in my arms and I’m not letting her go. Never again.
I’m such a fucking mess, and still she loves me. I have no fucking clue why, but that’s why I love her. She loves me completely, unconditionally, so much that she can’t stand the thought of me even having the slightest scratch on me. I know I’m a bastard for earning money with fighting, but it’s the only thing I can do, and I’ll make sure I’ll be damn good at it. If she can’t see me get hurt, then I won’t let myself get hurt. I’ll make sure it never happens. I’ll train and fight until I can knockout everyone in my path with her watching me, smiling, proud.
I want to be her winner.
Smelling her, I take in her scent in with eagerness, wanting her so close, holding her isn’t even enough anymore. My fingers slide down her neck to her spine and down to her waist as I turn her around, still kissing her. I’m slowly taking her back to the car, not taking my lips off her. Entangling her fingers through my hair, she lets me push her backward until we reach the hood of the car. I’ve not been the best at finding directions when I have my fucking eyes closed. Kissing her is more important than seeing where I’m going.
She bumps against the hood, and I put my arms around her, making sure she can’t slip away. I’m not letting her out of my sight. Not anymore. Her plump, pink lips are so luscious … so soothing … so volatile for me. They turn me into something I shouldn’t be right now, but I can’t help myself.
Planting my hands on the hood, I trap her inside my arms and ravish her mouth. I can’t get enough of her, can’t get enough of her sweetness, her passion, her spark, her flame. I need her love right now.
“God … I want you so much right now, I can’t stop,” I murmur against her mouth, nipping at her lips, catching them with my teeth.
“I want you too. Don’t stop,” she whispers, and then she drags me closer by my shirt.
“Hmm …” I moan into her mouth, but then take my lips off her again. If I don’t stop now, I’ll turn into that beast again. I know, because I’ve been there before. She does that to me. Especially now, because I haven’t seen her for a while, and now that I’ve finally got my hands on her I’m not sure I can hold back. I don’t even want to, but I’m forcing myself to stop. It’s not right to take it further now. Not after what we just went through.
“We’re soaked,” I say.
“Yeah …” The way she says it sends shivers down my spine. It’s like she’s saying she’s ‘wet’ in a whole different way. Exhilarating.
“No, I mean, we should get back to the car.”
She shakes her head, pulling me in for another kiss, but I barely escape.
“I can’t control myself,” I say.
“You don’t need to.” She leans forward and pulls down my shirt, exposing my collarbone. When she starts pecking my skin, I’m done for.
Groaning, I say, “You don’t know what you’re in for.”
“Yes, I do. We’ve had sex before.”
“Not on a fucking car, on a road, in the rain.”
“I don’t care,” she whispers, wrapping her arms around my waist and pulling me closer. My cock springs alive from her tug. She’s never been this needy. This willing. It’s like she wants me to fuck her.
“I need to feel your lips on me. I need you. I need you everywhere. Inside me,” she whispers close to my ear. Fuck. She’s undoing me with her words. Now I’m hard as fuck.
It feels so fucking wrong after a fight, but so very tempting at the same time. My desire to take her has been multiplied by ten since we argued, as if my inner caveman knows that in order to fix love you need to fill each other up with love. Or in other words, fill her up to the brim.
My cock is throbbing in my pants at the thought of having her right now. I can’t think of anything else; it’s like my mind is only focused on one thing now, which is claiming her.
Ah, screw my conscious. “Fuck it …” I murmur, and then I dive into the little nook between her neck and shoulder and kiss her until my lips are raw and swollen.
I push her up against the car, and the lift her up, setting her down on the car. Parting her legs, I step closer and suck the beads of water off her skin. With my tongue I slip down her neck, licking up all the raindrops until I reach her tits. Her hands drop back onto the hood when I grasp both her perky tits in my hands and kiss the swell, going from one to the other.
“God, you’ve never tasted this good before.”
She giggles, which only gives me more incentive to seize her body and make it mine.
My fingers travel down her stomach while I keep my lips on her collarbone, teasing her as I slide lower and lower, avoiding her pleasure spot. I know she wants it, but I want her to savor that feeling for a while. I want her to realize what she’d be missing if I wasn’t there to please her anymore. And I want to enjoy myself while doing it.
I curl my fingers around her shirt and rip it over her head, surprising her. “You scared someone’s gonna find us here?” I tease, throwing the shirt on the hood of the car.
She squints, a smirk appearing on her face. “No.”
I purse my lips and raise an eyebrow. “Not even a little bit?”
Little moans escape her mouth as I massage her tits. She can’t speak, but shakes her head instead.
Hmm … I wonder how far she’ll go. I want to know if I can push her boundaries. It’s too exciting not to try. So I slide my fingers down her shoulder, pushing her bra down, and then in one surprise move I flip her tits out of her holsters.
She gasps as I immediately lock my mouth over her rosy nipples.
“Oh, Hunter …” she moans as I flick my tongue over her hardened peaks.
“What? You backing down yet?” I tease.
“No. Definitely not. Oh my god …” she murmurs.
“Hmm… I like that.” I grin against her skin as I lick her tits until they are nice and perky. My hand drifts down to her pussy and I splay my fingers, grasping her possessively. “Mine.”
