Claimed by the Horde King - Review

Image
I enjoyed this book more than I enjoyed the first one! The chemistry between these two characters as well as the story itself was just fantastic. I loved Nelle and her fearlessness! Her need to ask questions, her strength, everything about her. Seerin was also really good! His strength and determination to do better for himself was commendable. He wanted better for his people and you could see it in his actions. Together they were a great couple that really helped heal the other. I enjoyed being in this amazing and crazy world.  The spice was H O T. The chemistry in top of the primal energy that they gave off made the spice very enjoyable. I give it a 4 out of 5! Overall I really liked this book. The groveling that Seerin had to do, the growth that we see from Nelle and the realization from Seerin , that he can do this on his own.  It was a really great story and I would definitely recommend it to all my alien living girlies!!! 

The Crown of Guilded Bones - Review

Image
  I really enjoyed this book! It was such a nice continuance of the series! We got so many answers to questions and yet so many more questions to ask. I enjoyed getting to see Poppy and Cas step into their own. They have both been through so much and are growing in not only themselves but also within their relationship. We see them both get crowned as King and Queen of Atlantia and then still have to deal with attempts on Poppy from the Unseen. We also get to see more of the culture of the people of Atlantia which I really enjoyed. Then of course some things started going steeply down hill. With reveals that shook the foundation of everything that we've known up til this point. Poppy delivering that last line had me screaming in triumph for her! I can't wait to see how things continue in the next book! The spice in this book was nice. It's still relatively tame but enjoyable. I give it a 3 out of 5. Overall, this book was a nice addition to the story and has given us so muc...

A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire - Review

Image
  This book was a good follow up to the first book! We get to see how the fall out of Cas' announcement affects everyone involved. From there we see how Cas and Poppy's relationship changed from one where she is angry and distrustful of him to one where they have come together and are able to admit to each other what they really feel. It was a beautiful thing to see. However, it has been quite annoying to see how the rest of the people have reacted to Poppy. She has suffered abuse from every corner it seems like. It doesn't stop just because a few people have realized she isn't what they think. I think that the story is unraveling nicely and doesn't feel rushed. We get to spend time at each place with all the characters and we begin to feel close to them. Of course that means when something happens to them it affects us that much more. I really like the world building in this book. As someone who is re-reading this series, it's interesting to see the little brea...

End of the Year Wrap Up 2025

 Finally, I am able to get this out!! 2025 was a rough year and I was barely able to make my goal of 100 books read in the year. I want to thank all the authors who took a chance on me and allowed me to hype their books. I am a small influencer who is quiet and sometimes finds it hard to post things. However, I try to make sure to post reviews for them. I was able to go back and read some books that I have loved over the years. I also was able to read some new series that have sucked me in and made me love them. So with that being said, you know what time it is. Superlatives time!! I was able to grab the top 5 books from certain categories and then selected my top book for each category. I'll break some of them down below. Give some of these authors, series and books a read! Best Of: Dark Romance:       God of Ruin - Rina Kent                             ...

Lady of Ashes - Review

Image
 I have never been more annoyed than I am right now. I am writing this as I have just finished reading this book and Talwyn....girl....I can't stand you. I didn't like getting to read chapters with her in it, in the previous books and now?!?!?!?!?! I don't want to read one more chapter about her. All her friends deserve better, Azrael deserves better and WE DESERVE BETTER. I have never known a character to be so blind that she would allow the things to happen that Talwyn allows to happen in this book. I hate when everyone betrays everyone ESPECIALLY our MCs. So when a few people in this book do so, I am now enraged. I'm so mad right now I can literally see red. I can't believe how this book ended. I know that the author tried to give us some hope but at this point. Everyone can go. Scarlet can gon ahead and burn it all down cuz not ONE of these people deserve to be in the same room as her. Except Cas of course and few others but the rest. Good bye, good riddance. To...

From Blood and Ash - Review

Image
My book club is reading this so I decided to make it a re-read for this month!! Getting back into this world felt like a welcome home after a long journey. Seeing Poppy how she was in the beginning was crazy!! So naive and trusting of those who didnt deserve it. The power dynamic between her and Cas was so different here. I really liked it but I also cant wait for what's to come for her. Getting back into the lore of this world made me want to have a notebook handy so I write down everything we learned in this book. There was a lot of death and killing in this book. I almost forgot how much they fought. Not to mention how much Poppy and Cas fight each other. I listened to this book, this time around and the graphic audio was amazing!! Little details really popped!!  The spice in this one was minimal but what we did get was hot! 3 out of 5 for the spice. Overall i enjoyed this re-read and I've already downloaded the second one to jump into. This story has already pul...

The Finisher - Review

Image
  This book was interesting. We get the vibrant and colorful Zephyr who is trying to get back with the boy that she loves in Alpha. Unfortunately he doesn't remember her. Usually it's the other way around but this time she was out to help him remember her in any way she can. While she's making this happen we get to meet so many new faces in this world. I will say the person who ended up being the betrayer was not the person who I thought it was going to be. I hope we get more information on what their deal is and why they ended up doing what they were doing. We get to see the brothers get closer to each and I loved that for them. Not letting their beast of a father come between them. Did I mention how much I love interconnected stories? If I haven't then moments like the one we get in this book is exactly why. All of the couples are reunited and we get to see how the interact with each other. It was a great moment. Of course now things are going to progress even further...
