God of War - Review

Image
 The conclusion to the Legacy of Gods series was not what I was expecting it to be. I definitely felt like this one was a little all over the place. I didn't know how to feel about either one of the MCs in this one. I will say that I did listen to the audible version of this and I definitely did not vibe with the female narrators voice. I let it go though and continued to listen. So far in this series, I have loved the mental health representation and maybe there is someone out there who can relate to what was going on with Ava but I felt like her reactions were a little all over sometimes. Like I don't even think it has anything to do with her illness and everything to do with how she was written. The back and forth with her feelings just felt tiring. You know that they care for each other but their actions at times definitely did not reflect that. At times it was illogical. I didn't feel them falling for each other the way that you feel it with the other characters. Even ...

Find Me - Review

Image
  Wow, this book was actually better than I thought. It is heavily plot driven. Even though there is some hot scenes between the characters, nothing actually happens. I'm talking about hitting second base type stuff. However, I really enjoyed this read. It really deeply involves you in the world of the characters. You spend a lot of time getting to know them. Each as individuals as they interact with our FMC. We are also unveiling more about her past as well as theirs. I did find it interesting that we find out that the guys are actually all blood siblings. I was thinking it was going to be something like they were really close and one of them was like an adopted brother type deal. So it really makes the dynamics between the characters very interesting. I would love to see how that develops in the next book. As for our FMC, she is definitely still going through it and you can tell by how she handles herself with the guys and just in general. Also can I just say that throughout this...

Obsession (The Mate Games War) - Review

Image
 This book came out swinging. I mean I felt like a hot wheels car that touched the track and immediately took off. The characters in this book are interesting and I definitely like some of them. I really am trying to understand the dynamics with Sunday and the other men. I understand Kingston, even though I don't really like him at the moment. I understand Noah, it was an instant attraction type deal and she felt it too. He is the uncomplicated type of love. Alec, is interesting since he's one that I don't quite see how he fits, other than the calming situation. Caleb, is another that is interesting. The whole priest thing and the scene we got at the end of the book....I don't know how to interpret that. I know what it looks like but what is really going on there. The fact that this is another situation of parents behaving badly, I am just rolling my eyes. Because why the heck are so many of these parents trash? Get it together! Right now, I don't even know which on...

Freeing Luka - Review

Image
  This book wasn't as good as the first one in my opinion. I definitely almost forgot the FMCs name. I did like the relationship that she had with the other women that she was able to free. They are all definitely going to be interesting if some of them are going to be in the rest of this series. I can't wait to explore more of this world. I loved the nerdy relationship these two had with each other. We didn't get to see much more of the planet like I was hoping we would. The threat of allowing the people of the planet find out about humans being as compatible with the men here is amazing. I will say that I didn't even think about how this would affect the women of the planet in such a positive way. Even though this one wasn't better than the first one to me, I still managed to enjoy this one. I can't wait to read the rest of this series! The spice in this book was good. I would give it a 3 out of 5 for the spice. The connection between these two was definitely ...

Nightshade - Review

Image
This book was so different. Like, I loved the subject matter and the way it was handled. The past back and forth of the chapters and the reveals were perfectly placed. I felt bad for characters that didn't even deserve sympathy. Then I also felt anger, curious and happy at certain parts. The lore was thick and definitely made sure you paid attention.  The spice was great in this one. I really enjoyed the scenes with the characters. I almost washed more. It's not super descriptive but it is still well done. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 for spice. Overall, I liked this book. I do plan on continuing the series and I can't wait to see what comes next. I'd recommend this to anyone who don't mind the religious context with dark overtones. 

Sorrow and Strangers - ARC Review

Image
Whew, this was a lot. Everything started out how you would imagine after losing a character near and dear to not only the FMCs heart but your own. We mourn. Reading through Summer's grief was so emotional. I felt for her. Everyone who we've met up til this point who had any type of feeling for Connor was heavily in mourning. You see the different ways that each of them deal with it. Some of it is heartbreaking while others feel cathartic. A lot of our characters are going through changes in this book. Whether it's physical or emotional. Heck I went through almost every emotion in this book with them. The way things are progressing with the over all plot of finding out what Summer is progresses a little bit the focus is heavily on the emotional connections she has to everyone. We get some reveals but even more questions. While the ending for this one isn't as traumatic, it is still a cliffy and we're ask just hanging on waiting for the next round of pain ...

Taken by the Horde King - Review

Image
 This one was a little meh for me. Mina was making me upset with her. Maybe I'm not as nice as she is. When my friend started moving funny then I was gonna have to leave her alone to sit in her mess. The fact that Mina was determined to see her friend as she was before they ended up with the folks they were with under the mountain was a little upsetting considering that her friend was out here with the enemy. I definitely could understand where Rune was coming from in this one. He was tricked into kinda abandoning his people and then chained and semi tortured for awhile. Then it took him some time to actually warm up to each other. Despite the fact that he made her his queen. I was a little surprised by that. All of the relationship issues that these two had was definitely something that made sense. I liked reading them getting around that and getting together truly by the end. Of course there was some fantastical things in between that. Out of all the couples so far that have mani...
