Split - ARC Review

Image
  Whew, I have to come down from the information dump that just happened in order to be able to actually type right now. My goodness! There is so much happening right now that it is actually kinda crazy! I'll give a brief synopsis on where we are with everyone Titus (hate), is on the move and bringing the war to fruition with the North. He has so many secrets that no one really knows everything. One thing we do know is that he is definitely a pawn for Mother. Mother (hate x2), OMG we know who she is now and her relation to known characters!! Of course we still don't know exactly what went down to get everyone and everything to where it is now. If everyone didn't know already, we have 1 million percent confirmation that certain characters have been around since the surge originally happened (big gasp). Kara, we are still in limbo with what is truly happening with her and the babies. I am on tenderhooks here waiting to see how this plays out. Our badass FMC is still doing the

Queen Takes Rook - Review

 We are back again with Shara and the guys and this time she is gearing up to make her move against the Triune. Everything is not all grand with things with Mayte as Shara prepares to leave. She ends up encountering Ra's minions once again. Again Shara is able to prevail but not before she has to make a promise that brings her to tears to make. Even though she doesn't want to do it, for the good of everyone she knows she must. After finally returning home and getting a chance to hang out and recharge with her guys, she begins to make her big move. A lot of layers gets pulled back when she goes to New York to confront her first Queen. There are so many reveals here that if you weren't ready, you would almost get drowned in all the information that comes here. It was sad and yet satisfying to read. As a mother myself you can really feel for the characters during this sequence in the book. You would do just about any and everything for your child. Here we see that displayed in

What Lies Within Masks and Shadows - Review

  This book was a struggle to get through. I really enjoyed what was going on with the story but it just felt like there was so many unnecessary pages that I had to slug through. The FMC continued to waffle and really made me want to shake her because ma'am the way that you were ok with something one second and now it's a problem is insane. I really wanted her to be able to get over the situation with her ex-fiance. I feel like there is something else at play there with how that situation is playing out. Another thing that was kind of meh for me, was the fact that Alora was said to have fighting skills and even after months fighting and training with the Dragons, she still seems like a damsel in distress when it comes to getting into fights. I feel like her and Garrick have the potential to be THE power couple. Though if she can't seem to fight without using her power though then what even is the point? She uses these skills against Garrick (even though she loses) yet she c

End of the Month Wrap Up - October 2024

 It's time for me to Wrap Up October! It has been a crazy month and one that, while I'm glad that it's over, it will be one that I will never forget. I found a lot of new authors and I read some great stories that I didn't think I'd like! I was only able to read 6 books this month. I did have 2 that I ended up DNFing but I won't count them since I never finished them. So with that being said, let's see the books that survived my crazy October!      Top Baddie  - Reshe (Daughter of No World's) : Reshe was the type of baddie that is hard to fight because she is in you. She was not a physical entity that could be fought. On top of that there was the fact that she carried so many memories in her. Anything that you have thought to do to her has been done before. Anything that is that old would have resentment and she was full of it. Even though, the person who she had previously, she apparently developed "feelings" for (Max). It made things that muc

Daughter of No World's - Review

Image
 This book was probably better than I thought it was going to be. I really enjoyed the characters and the world that was built. It was very light on the romance but it definitely managed to shine through when needed. I also would like to add that it did feel like it kind of dragged at certain points in the story and I would have liked if some things were sped up a little. Other than that though things were nice. The story of Max and how he came to be how he was, was tragic. Of course that's the truth of some of the "heroes" of wars. I am interested in seeing how things continue in the next book. Not only with Max, but definitely with Tisannah and the order. I also want to say that I listened to this in it's audiobook form and this was it was um...interesting. You could hear everything with this audio. I mean everything. Every breath that the voice actors took, any noise in their background, page turns and everything. I have been spoiled with these full cast audios and

Giving the Dragon Ice - Review

Image
  This book was....different. It was definitely not what I thought it was going to be. Usually when there is a shifters they still have humanish babies. Well when they were discussing it in this book they definitely laid eggs. I wanted to delve further into this. I was very intrigued. Does the shifter lay the egg in dragon form? Does she stay in dragon form for the majority of the time until she has the egg? Is there multiple eggs or just one. I know that from reading the story that she definitely didn't stay in dragon form despite an egg growing in her body so I want to know the science behind that. Also there apparently is only one egg? So I guess it kinda follows human biology there? This was probably the most interesting part of this story for me. I was slightly obsessed with figuring this out. On the other hand the rest of the story had quite a few hic cups for me. Like the fact that they made the race thing weird. I know people hate discussing this but as someone who this aff

God of Wrath - Review

 This book definitely brought me back into this series! I enjoyed the dynamic between Cecily and Jeremy. They definitely seemed like they were very well matched here! You could feel their chemistry. I love it when you can actually tell that the characters really seem to belong together. Another thing that I have really, really liked about this series is how it is truly interconnected. Like things are happening simultaneously within the series. So we get to see events that we watched happen in other series through the eyes of these characters now that they are telling their story. I wish that more interconnected series were like these. For the most part other interconnected series are just that they are in the same world with characters that we've already met. So, we see the party, the initiation of the Heathens and everything through the eyes of Cecily and Jeremy. The only part that I wish that we got to see through them was the events that surrounded Creighton and Annika in the pr
