A Kingdom This Cursed and Empty - Review

Image
  I liked this book. Definitely not as much as the first one but it was still good. If I have to hear about how much Lorian and Priska can't be together one more time. I'm gonna through a piece of fae iron at someone. I literally don't understand why this is such a crazy point that everyone can't stop talking about. I think that politically this would actually be a great idea. It would help to firmly align the fae and the hybrids together so that something like what happened before didn't happen again. Instead, everyone is steady swearing Priska away from Lorian except her bestie. Of course the bestie is right and everyone else can freaking shove it. I also was hoping that Priska would eventually realize that she can't blame herself for every mistake she makes. Even if that mistake cost a life. Someone had to make the choice and sometimes there is no right answer. That is something that she's going to need to learn as ruler. That's something her aunt nee...

Stained in Blood - ARC Review

Image
 This was an interesting novel. There are some things that I liked and there were some things that I disliked about this book. I always believe in getting through the bad things first. So, I found it hard to connect to these characters. I wanted some more time to get to know them as individuals, or have more insight into them before we got to some of the other stuff. For example our FMC, Eden, just seemed like she was the wind blowing from one thing to another. It felt like she allowed for the MMC, Shiloh to kinda maneuver her from not really wanting to be in his presence to all of a sudden she's getting fingered. Like she wanted him but I just feel like that escalated quickly. From there she kinda just rolled with whatever was going on without really taking a second to breath and take it all in. Ironically enough, I don't really have any character negatives for Shiloh. I don't like how he moved from one woman to another. Even though we verbally get the confirmation that th...

Silver Wings Golden Games - Review

Image
  I really almost have no words. This is definitely a slow building book. There is just so much. Like usually I like it when there is a lot of lore and things going on but there is just one thing after another with slow build up. I like the payoffs but things start to feel hopeless for the characters and I hate it when that happens. We currently have 2 books of our characters pretty much falling in love and wanting to be together only to have one thing or another stop them. Now after all the obstacles are clear and it looks like things are going to wrap up for them nicely. BAM another big block stops them. I really had to shake my head when I got to the end of this book. I was hoping that this would be the end of their story and then another couple would have the next two books but end up intertwined with these two for an overall wrap up of the story but...it looks to be two more books of me being stressed out for these two as things just continue to get in their way.  The spi...

The Annihilator - Review

Image
  This book almost felt like filler, but it's filler that gave us background and the reveals that we needed. Getting to finally meet the Shadowman and see how he works in the seedy world of the syndicate was interesting. The one thing, I really enjoy about this series is how it continues to build on a lot of the things that we already know about. All of the characters that we've met in the previous books are all connected somehow and this one is no different. We get to see the origins of Alex and see how everything is VERY connected. I enjoyed the FMC, who is in a difficult situation and is just trying to survive really. The one thing to remember with this series is that, it is a dark romance. So we see her go through a lot. There were some things that I was upset she had to deal with but it had to happen. It made me admire her that much more. Some of the reveals were definitely unexpected but with how things are looking to shape up in the final book in this series...it was und...

Knotorious Omega - ARC Review

Image
  I deeply and whole heartedly loved this book. The bond between these two was almost instant and electric. I loved everything about this book. The descriptions that were used, the way the characters interacted. The characters themselves, the world, everything. Keyla is everything that you wouldn't think an omega would be. She is out here living for herself while also doing exactly what she wants. I loved her character. I also loved how Tony seemed to fit her like a glove. He is such a good Alpha. I am so glad that we got an MF book in this world. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the banter and everything between them. The way that Keyla went about everything in this world was just amazing. The rage that we get to see from Keyla was definitely warranted. I love that the mistreatment of omegas in this world is taken so seriously. Enough that it punishes the alphas for their bad behavior. For a moment I was concerned with how things was going to end but alas in Shasta we trust...

White Horse, Black Nights - Review

Image
 I enjoyed this read. The characters were interesting and the world even more so. I kinda feel like I know what where this reveal is going but since we haven't fully gotten it yet, I'm going to wait to find out more. Sabine is an interesting character in that she is smart, resilient and yet also naive. The whole situation with Adam and then with thinking that she could escape from everything. Wolfe also was interesting in that he had a rough life growing up and is the epitome of the dark guy who thinks that he doesn't deserve more. I really just want to wrap him up in a blanket honestly. His benefactor gives unworthy and untrustworthy. He just seems super sus. Especially with the reveal that we get at the end of the book. Yeah there is definitely more there. I can't wait to see how things work out with everyone. What's the real tea behind what's going on with the king and the machinations in this kingdom. The spice in this book was good. I just wish afterwards w...

Spark the Flames - Review

Image
  This book is really toeing the line of being my favorite read of the year. I really, really enjoyed this book. I didn't want it to end. I'm actually pretty hurt that I have to wait for book 2. This one has definitely left me with a book hangover. Like I really just want to live in that world for awhile. I really liked the way that the whole situation with the dragons is being done. It opens up so many possibilities and different ways that each dragon can be used. There is also so much potential for expansion with the many characters that we've met and had the opportunity to fall in love with. I can't wait to see how things go in the next book. Ever is definitely someone who makes the most of a bad situation. She started from one bad place and in her mind just went to another. She didn't really allow it to get her down. She is fierce and definitely a woman that you'd want on your side and not against you. Aeson, is definitely a guy who is used to getting his wa...
