Hans - Review

Image
 Well, that's it for the Alliance boys. I am sad to see them all go. This one was probably not my favorite from the series but it is still a good read. Hans and Cassie were an interesting couple. They both had the perfect type of unhinged for each other! I loved how possessive Hans was over every little thing about her. She was just as possessive over him too! Not to mention we get to see her have some back bone! Hans' story itself was so emotional and one that really grabbed you. I think his was the one of the sadder stories of how he got to be how he is now. He almost reminded me of one of my other favorite unhinged men (Zade). I liked how he managed to fit right in with the alliance men and had an all female army at his side. The fact that him and Nero become buddies due to their craziness was nice as well. The katana fights were also a very nice touch. I almost wanted a little more on Hans background considering how smart he is.  The spice in this book was nice! These two ...

Ondine Vol 1 - Review

Image
  Wow, that was a crazy ending. This book was interesting almost from the very beginning. I really liked the characters and how this author really leaned into the dynamics. The fact that there is an intense rivalry between some of the families in regards to how the omegas are treated and who can get them was also another very interesting part. It was definitely different to see how much the omegas are looked down upon by the betas. It almost feels like a jealousy type of deal and that was interesting aspect as well. The main alphas that we are following in this story are definitely floundering on how to treat their omega. There are so many behind the scenes things going on that I really can't wait for them to be resolved. The issues with Shadow and Jake and then Sebastian feeling like an inbetween person in everything made for a very interesting story. I really can't wait to see how things are resolved after how things ended. I want so much for Ondine to end up with the Meier p...

The Honor of Being Hers - Review

Image
I'm on the fence with my feelings on this book. I really love omegaverse books. The main thing that I like them for is for the darker aspects that it can bring and for the men who are just outright dominant and aggressive. Like this is where I go when I want the male characters to really be dominant in the relationship and the dub con situations come out to play as part of the overall part of the book. That was not the case with this book. This book seems to want to take a different approach with omegaverse that I didn't really like. The alphas didn't feel like alphas to me. I was fine with Lauren being the way she was but the others just weren't aggressive enough for me. They didn't assert themselves enough. Heck half the time I only remembered two of the alphas. I think that was another slight that I had with this book. The characters weren't memorable. I think I know more about Lauren's friends than I know about the men that she ended up with. William was...

End of the Month Wrap-Up -February 26

Image
 This month went by fairly quickly. I feel like I've been saying that for the past few months but all of them seem to be speeding by before I can really get comfortable with the it. This month was filled with reads from black authors and I really loved it. I do wish that there was more available as audiobooks and more fantasy/PNR!! The contemporary reads that I read though...were amazing. There are definitely some new to me authors that I am adding to my list of authors that I need to read more from. Getting to throw an authors entire backlog on my TBR list is a pleasure! This month I was able to get through 13 books and it was such an enjoyable journey for the most part. I can't wait to read more from these authors. I've got the usual superlatives but this month was hard to choose on a few of them so I have some honorable mentions. With that being said, let's see what all I've read this month! Favorite Character  - Angel (Escorting the Yakuza): I always love a stro...

Living Legend - Review

Image
This was a good read. I always enjoy a badass FMC who can kick butt when she needs to. I find this Angel & Demon dynamic to always make for a very interesting read. The characters make this book fun and keep you coming back for more. The intrigue around who was working with Lilith was also something that had me guessing and I liked that it wasn't something that you really knew for sure until the end. I had my thoughts and it turned out to be right but it never really showed itself until the end. Some things I wish was done a little better is the relationship between Nick and Dani.We see Dani flirting with Nick a lot and then we see them getting together and not being able to take their hands off each other but like...I wanted to see them have to spend more time together so we could watch Nick start to turn more towards her. I'm hoping to see more of that in book 2.  The spice in this book was really good. Nick and Dani brought the heat for sure once they finally gave in to ...

Without A Witness - ARC Review

Image
 I liked this book more than I liked the first one! I didn't think I would like a softer story but this one was definitely that. It picks up some of the things that we saw from the first book and takes us to Leticia and Royal's POV. Then we advance with their story and how things are able to work out for the rest of them. I am definitely hoping to get a story for Berto at this point. I almost feel like he's the misunderstood brother who isn't as bad as he seems. Back to our current couple though, I really liked getting to know more about Royal and him being Pan made so much sense. I loved how open and honest he was with his feelings and his wants. I liked how Leticia was pretty much the same way. The way that their romance seemed almost conflict free for the two of them was such a breath of fresh air. Like I just really liked reading this. The issues came from outside instead of the two of them having miscommunications and other crazy stuff with each other. Their relati...

Stalked by Seduction and Shadows - Review

Image
  Well, I was ready to be upset with this book but it ended up being better than I expected. I was hoping so much that Rune wasn't going to fall into the trap and make me angry with him. He kinda did anyway...then he didn't even rush to rectify the situation. I am giving him major side eyes and he's gonna have to do some groveling for our girl because she deserves it! I didn't expect for this book to be so freaking HOT. I mean, it's probably because I listened to the audio version but MY GAWD. I was just...whew....I was beyond ready for these two to finally admit how they felt for each other. Even if Rune was a stalky mcstalkerson. I definitely really like this duet narration. The story itself is good and I really want to see how things are going to progress in the next book. The growth that I'm expecting for Scarlet, the war between the vampire factions and Rune finally admitting that he loves Scarlet! This could easily become one of my favorite duets if this s...
