Lady of Darkness - Review

Image
 Well, I definitely spent all day listening to this in audiobook form. I was very hooked and very interested to see how this was going to workout. From meeting Soren in the first few pages to Callen trying to get closer to Scarlett after finding out who she actually is. Everything in this book was interesting! Now there were some lows that I want to get into before I begin spouting off how I almost instantly started book 2. So, Scarlett, is a powerful woman who is out here torturing and killing people in some creative ways...and by people I mean Fae. So imagine my surprise when she is constantly taking Ls in fights and really only wins a hand to hand with her sister. I really dislike when stories TELL us about a character and how amazing they are but then proceed to contradict that with every paragraph that we read. Like, you shouldn't have to repeatedly tell me how scary someone is in their world. I want to see it and believe it. As it stands, it almost seems like Scarlett is only...

Wild Games - ARC Review

-
Image
  The book that finally completes the games has arrived!! This one focuses on Jax and Camille as they navigate being mates with trying to capture a dangerous person who is sabotaging the games. This book wraps up everything that was left hanging from the previous books. It's hard to believe that these books almost take place simultaneously. There is so much going on, from the first book with Jamie and Dean to the second book with Wyatt and Naomi to this one with Jax and Camille. Luckily everything gets tied up pretty nicely. If you were rooting for a certain alpha, we definitely see who wins this one finally. I was not surprised by the winner and I was definitely rooting for them! Jax was going through a lot during this book and he kept things tame even though he knew that Camille was his mate. This definitely made me want to give him a good shake. Though his fears were understandable. In the end everything worked out how it was supposed to and I hope we get more from some of the c...

Dark Prince - Review

Image
 Ahh it feels so good to return to one of the books that helped to start my love of romance books! This series was one of my gateway books into PNR and fantasy. I loved getting the chance to go back and it scratched just that nostalgic itch that I was looking for. This book is the first book in the Dark/Carpathian series by Christine Feehan. It follow Mikhail and Raven as they meet and navigate something that the Carpathians hadn't successfully done in a long time, turn a human woman. I liked the premise of the book being that these strong Carpathian men slowly lose their ability to feel emotions and to see in color of the decades/centuries that they live. The only one that can return those things to them are their lifemates. Which unfortunately for a lot of the men now have been few and far between. They have not been able to have any female babies and turning human women was an issue. I think this set the ground work for everything that is to follow in this series and allows you ...

Fire in His Spirit - Review

Image
  Another solid entry in the Fireblood Dragons series by Ruby Dixon. I don't think I made it this far in this series when I was first reading this series so it feels like a whole new world that I'm learning. Gwen and Vaan were a nice couple. I liked that the more places that we discover, we are able to find more women who are able to bond with the dragons. I hope that we get some more dragons in this area and I think that we also are going to get a female dragon at some point. I wonder if we will get a garderner or someone who is proficient at growing things to assist the people get some things back up and running. Maybe even an engineer? That would be so cool to see someone attempting to rebuild some of the things in the world that were lost. I mean a great point was brought up in this book. There are people with medical conditions that would not survive long in this world due to them not being able to get their medication. Maybe we can even find a chemist that survived. Being...

The Book of Azrael - Review

-
Image
 This book is so good. I really enjoyed re-reading this book! The characters have depth, the story is one that is easy to get hooked into. As an older sibling, I definitely felt the responsibility that Dianna felt when it came to her sister. I think that is something that a lot of people are going to be able to relate to when reading this. I have definitely wanted to be that friend that is always on demon time and Dianna is definitely that. She's the friend who convinces you to do something crazy and is also there to make sure that no one messes with you when the crazy blows up in your face. Getting to know her and seeing her struggles really endears her to you. Then of course we get Samkiel/Liam who is going through a god's version of a mid-life crisis and depression. Getting to see him and all his sadness was also in a way very nice. I loved getting to grow with these characters and then watch them slowly fall for each other. You end up loving the both of them through watchin...

Iron Flame - Review

-

 Can I just say, that I am still surprised by how much I like this series? I mean, it's rare that there are series that are extremely popular that I tend to like but this one has definitely made me like it. This book definitely brought out the darker side of this world. Even though we have definitely had our toes in it in the previous book. It seems like it was explored that much more in this one. From torture to more death, this book deals it out to us in painful fashion. The only things that I really can say got on my nerves slightly was the fact that Violet is so insecure and is with someone who is such the polar opposite. Though I know that he is a person just like she is and you can kinda get that she is someone who is thrust into a world she didn't expect, it still gets annoying. Like even a nerd to have some confidence. I know that when it comes to books and certain knowledge she definitely is confident but it would be great if she got a little more of it. Watching Xaden...

My Blood is Yours - Review

Image
This was such a good novella! I really enjoyed this! Starting out with us getting to meet Sariel, his brother and the rest of their family was interesting. Especially since most of the times we start out with the FMC's POV. This world seemed so similar to ours yet different once we leave the place that Elowen lives. I liked the characters and the world that this story takes place in. Everything flowed very nicely and even though it was short, it still took the time to make us feel for the characters. Even the side characters that jumped in later was nice. I want more from all of them and I can't wait to read more from this author. The spice in this book was off the charts! I really liked everything about the spice in this book. Remembering that this is a novella, the MCs are pretty much on each other from the moment that they see each other. 4 out of 5 for the spice. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a short spicy read with a good story! I give...
