A Hunger Like No Other - Review

 Ahhh coming home to some of my favorites has been so relaxing!! I have loved getting to re-read some of the books that got me invested in this genre. This one was one of the top reads and it has definitely stood the test of time for me. Emma is someone who had so much growth in this book. From being afraid of even getting a paper cut to being a BA and taking out one of the big bads in this world. The growth was immaculate. Of course it can also be attributed to her meeting Lachlan. Even though at first things were rough between them being that he was literally just tortured for a very long time. He experience some growth too. Even though he is still very much a growly he-man, he realized that in order to let Emma be herself, he had to let go a little...or get smacked. I don't think there is much that you can dislike about this book. It introduces you to so many characters who we are going to get to know and love later that it single handedly launches this whole universe (even thou...

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

  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...
