End of the Month Wrap Up - January 26

-
Image
I can't believe January is already over! It seemed like it breezed by, we were just celebrating the holidays and here we are, in February already. Since this is the first wrap up for this year, I want to use this time to state what I want from this year in my book world. A resolution of sorts. I want to get you guys this wrap up as soon as I can. I usually end up holding back on it since sometimes I am reading something that I want to finish and hope to get done before the month ends. So you'll probably never get this on the first of the new month but more so around this time of the month. Hopefully, I won't have to double up like I did with some of them last year. I also want to get the video wrap ups out and done around the same time or at least, before the middle of the month. I am working on getting better with editing so we will see how that works. This year, I am hoping to read 100 books again! So far, we are starting out on fire! This month I managed to read 16 books...

Vicious Society - Review

Image
  This was a good conclusion to the story for Xavier and Delilah, although I really want to see if he sticks to his plan and gets married to Delilah. We get to see the conclusion of the trials and these two really accept each other as they navigate through this dangerous world. Delilah did get on my nerves a few times. She was brave at the oddest times. Then again we do see her have this random heart defect that seemed to come out of no where. I was a little surprised when this turn happened. It didn't really add anything to the story other than to show just how ruthless Xavier is when it comes to making sure that Delilah is safe. Also some of the side characters, while good really took a back seat here. Other than her foster brother we don't get to see much of anyone else. I almost forgot about her roommate until we randomly see her again and that's it for her. She was such a driving force in the first one that it was surprising to see her kinda disappear in this one. Then...

Gild - Review

Image
I've decided to start another series re-read! This one has unraveled slower than I remember it happening when I originally read it. I think if just this book was out and I didn't have the others to dive into immediately, then I would have probably put this one down and now come back to it. I say that because this world and everything in it takes awhile to develop. The characters, are written well enough that it doesn't really take you long to latch onto them. When they go away you definitely miss their presence. Even the ones that we aren't meant to like, you remember them. Even if some of them we never will get a chance to like, you kinda understand why they feel the way they do. Just from the moments that they interact with our FMC. In this book we really only get things from Auren's POV. We get one small chapter of Midas but otherwise it's all her. The world is a little sad when viewed through her lens.I definitely want more for her. You can definitely see wh...

Choosing Theo - Review

-
Image
This book was short and spicy!! I enjoyed it! We meet Jade who is a human who ends up getting kidnapped and sent to the planet Cleclain. It's pretty much a woman's heaven. Beautiful men try to get women to choose them for a short marriage to see if they're compatible. Men do everything for women here, from working to provide to cooking, childcare and anything the woman can imagine. They are rated on their skills and tested on their abilities to please. Sounds amazing right? Well for some reason Jade wanted to go back to earth. I didn't understand that but eventually she decided to stay after getting married to Theo. Who is a scared and dangerous man. Theo apparently isn't desirable to a Cleclainian woman due to his scars but to an earth woman he's gorgeous and gives off the vibes that any woman would be attracted to. After finding out who kidnapped her from earth she is able to bond with Theo and they stay together. I liked the story and how things p...

On Wings of Blood - Review

-
Image
 This book left me feeling strange. I liked the plot of the story....I didn't read the series before so Meedra is new to me. I liked how she's coming into this world and has to learn kinda on the run and while she finds some similarities with her world, she also is walking in blind to a whole different society. So we are learning with her. This world is kinda trash...or maybe it's just this country but it's very trash. The vamps essentially have the humans worship them and they can do literally anything to them with impunity. At the same time they need them since they have the blood that nourishes them. For some reason, we kinda get a hint of what it might actually be, the people here don't really question anything and just literally suffer through life as bottom tier people. I mean there are kids begging on the streets, people randomly dying, and getting sacrificed while the vamps are just like...whoops. There doesn't really seem to be any kind of checks and ba...

Claimed by the Horde King - Review

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

  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...
