Entangled - Review!

Image
 I enjoyed this book. We really get to see Eden come into her own. She is out in the world again without her guys and in a very dangerous situation. She has to find herself when she feels like everything has been taken away from her. The person who ends up helping her was the last person I was thinking was going to help her. Like I honestly didn't see this person making a reappearance. So when they did, I was surprised and thought it would be very interesting to see how this played out. It worked out in the end but then seeing how the relationship between the two of them blossomed was very beautiful. I think that Eden is just the type of person who is perfect for surviving in this world. She has just the right type of knowledge to help herself survive and she has the right temperament for this world. This is something that we see repeatedly show itself throughout this story. Especially at the end. Her ability to navigate a difficult situation and end up saving everyone was great! A...

Eternal Kiss of Darkness - Review

Image
 This was a good read! I think I missed out on this book when I was originally reading this series and skipped right to the next Cat and Bones book. I remember being a little surprised when I got to that one and Mencheeres had someone. I loved that we were able to get some more background on Mencheeres and lore about the world in general. Kiera has major big sister energy and I really felt that. As a big sister myself, the need that she had to take care of her siblings was a very big driving force in her life. Also I really liked that she was out here fighting for her man! She definitely wanted him to see that there was more to live for and to not give up. I wish there was a little bit more explanation to how she was his darkness. That part either I missed or just wasn't clarified as much as it needed to be. Introducing more about the magic side of this world was also a nice addition to the lore!! The spice in this book was definitely a lot less that I would like and I'm not su...

It Breaks Me - Review

Image
      In book 2 of the Betrayal series we are back with Scarlett and Axel. We get introduced to the Skull King and get even more info on the relationship between Axel and his parents. The world is almost flipped on its head in this book and it leaves some of the characters in a tail spin. I feel like while some things were fixed in this book, other things left me wanting to shake just about every character in this book. Scarlett, because for all her smarts, she's blind to the one person who is actually up to no good. Then Axel for not attempting to do something with his parentals. Something has to change with that relationship or he needs to make them accept his help in keeping them safe. It's insane to me that someone as smart as him hasn't come up with a plan to keep his parents safe. We have the skull king himself, Theo, not even attempting to help either....I wanted to smack them all. Everything appears to be working out for now, other than the fact that we have ...

Barbarian Mine - Review

Image
 I have to say, out of all the IPB books I've read so far, this one has been my least favorite. There was just something about how they met and then eventually got together that just didn't work for me. I think if they had more of an opportunity to get speak with each other and grow then I would have liked it better. I do know that this series is pretty fast paced when it comes to the couples getting together but I feel like this one had even less of the characters actually...doing that. I don't believe in their connection like I do with Georgie and Liz. It all felt like it happened in the blink of an eye and then she was preggers. Then with the other surprise that we have thrown at us...it...just didn't feel as nice. I definitely have to go back and read the book that I skipped but...I hope that it is better than this one was. Either I missed it or I don't think it was explained why Rukh didn't know the language of the people of the planet...nor English was a l...

Vicious Saint - ARC Review

Image
 Welcome back to the world of the Royal Heathens!! I was so excited to see one of my favorites back in action! This time we get to see Saint and Hendrix get their time to shine! There is a lot going on in the world of the Heathens even with their leader out of the picture. There is movement within the underworld and it coming to haunt each of them it seems. In this book, we see Hendrix having to deal with some skeletons of her own. I always liked her, in the first book and even more in this one. Her artistic heart and tough as nails exterior definitely made her a character that is likable. She doesn't really waste time on silly things and she is a straight to the point sharp shooter! If you like your FMCs with a lot of fire and the wits to back it up then you will definitely like Hendrix. Then we dive into our off the wall MMC, Saint! As a guy who has everything he wants on the outside when it comes to his internal demons, they are nothing to play with. He is dealing with some ment...

Eternal Reign - Review

Image
There is so much I could say about this book. The frustration that I felt while reading it.  The fact that I initially said that I DNF'd it but actually continued to listen to it... crazy work.  I liked the premise that the book had and that's what kept me hooked. One of the FMC's though... put me through the ringer. Montana.... girl, please get your life together. My level of annoyance with her was extreme. The fact that she didn't really seem to think through her actions, made me almost have a stroke. Callie, was ok for the most part... until close to the end, then she decided to have her bout with stupidity. That is my main issue with these characters. The MMCs were fine. The idea of the world was interesting and pretty cool.  There was no spice in the book. It definitely makes sense for what was going on. So 0 on the spice scale. Overall, I'll give this a 3 out of 5. I want to see how this resolves itself. I hope that the characters get better with t...

Dom - Review

Image
Jumped back into the Alliance series with book 3, Dom. He definitely did not disappoint.  He was possessive, crazy and obsessed with Val and I loved that for her. She is another thick Queen who found her man. Even though things were set up from the beginning, we see them thrive in their relationship. I did kinda want Val to be a little more assertive but I still liked her character. She was able to be fiesta yet vulnerable. Even though she had a lot of bad things happen to her in her life she still was able to be a good person. I wanted a little more kingpin moves from Dom but I see he was a little. Busy and we did get to see some of his domineering side when push came to shove. I always enjoy it when we get to see characters from the previous book in the current book and we get that here. King, Savannah and Nero and Payton all make appearances in this book! We also get a peak at the last guy in our alliance series, Hans!  This book was definitely spicy. The scenes...
