Blood of Dragons - Review

-
Image
 This book was heavy. Just as heavy as the first one was in terms of darkness and trauma. We are reunited with Calista as she tries to find somewhere to essentially hide from Talon. But it's finally learning more about Talons backstory that is truly the kick in the gut here. What he went threw was truly terrible and no one should have to endure that. I can understand why he has gone on a rampage but again when you allow such darkness to be your fuel you end up being as dark as the people who made you. He comes face to face with that in this book. Calista still has some demons that she too needs to reconcile with. She does get to finally grieve all of the terrible things that have been done to her. The one thing that I really dislike though, is how weak she is. She definitely has the strong will but not the power to make the ones that wrong her pay. For that I am sorry because it makes me want to shake her. Other than that, I enjoyed this book and the story that is slowly being reve...

Immortal Prince - Review

This was a good read. It was definitely better than the first one. The pacing felt better and the characters made me want to beat them up less. I enjoyed the flashbacks for Eric and Magnar. It is definitely throwing a lot into perspective. Though it's going to be interesting to see how these two couples are going to reconcile with each other. The men have so much history together and all of it is bad. This world is interesting and everything that happens in this book just adds to everything.  The spice was better in this book because there was some. Though still not the actual thing. I'm waiting with baited breath for both couples to actually get together. Though things are looking very rough for both of them right now. I'd give the spice a 2 out of 5. While things were open door there still wasn't any actual action. Overall, I enjoyed this one a heck of a lot more than the first, which makes me excited for the next one. There is still a lot of development f...

Devious Touch - ARC Review

-
Image
  This book was good. It started out kinda slow but by the end it picked up and it was a good read. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and seeing how things progressed. I did wish that things didn't feel so heavy. Not like it was dark kinda heavy but heavy like there was a lot of words and situations that felt unnecessary. The characters had great stories on their own. Mikhail and the story between him and his brother and how they grew up, Cecilia with her secret and strained relationship with her father. They were both interesting. Then when they got together they were interesting together. It takes awhile to get there but we do. I guess what made it feel heavy is that there really wasn't a big problem for the couple to solve really until the end and then things were interesting. Then of course the story ended. I wish the mystery of what happened with Cecilia when she was little was more of the plot than what I guess was there.  The spice was ok. I enjoyed these two tog...

Fated to the Wolf Prince - Review

Image
This book is probably not going to be one that will hook you into this series. I'm not too excited to continue. The story wasn't bad it's just not memorable. I also felt like the problem wasn't resolved. The things that ended up getting resolved weren't really... problems. Maybe it's something that is an over arching problem but introducing it as a main thing for this couple and it not being solved within their story really left me feeling kinda empty. There were also some plot holes that had me looking at things funny. I usually am not one to see plot holes immediately but even i was like ....uhhh what. Like how Brielle brought up poison being how an alpha was killed to Kane and then later bringing it up like it was a question.  You just told Kane that's what happened! Idk this book just wasn't for me. I wanted to like it more because I love shifter books but...it just didn't hold my interest.  The spice was kinda lackluster. Like it was...

Ruthless Creatures - Review

  This book was H O T. Holy crap!! Listening to the audiobook of this was freaking amazing!! The narrators for this are amazing and I really loved the life that they brought to the characters. Not only that but the characters themselves were pretty freaking amazing. I love the way they bantered with each other and they just had so much life! Individually and especially together! These are the type of friends that are real and you just want to be a part of their friend group! I read this awhile ago so I actually didn't really remember that I did but I definitely want to continue this series. The spice in this book was really good! We love a man who isn't intimidated by toys! The fact that they both were willing to try things for each other was good. 4 out of 5 for the spice. Overall, I absolutely loved this book. From start to finish! I would recommend this to anyone who loves Bratva/crime boss romances! This was apparently a reread that I somehow forgot. The first time I read t...

Whispers of the Deep - Review

Image
  Not gonna lie to ya...I went into this thinking that this was gonna be a weird read. In a way I guess it was but it also wasn't a bad read. I was invested in seeing where the story went and how the MCs were able to fix all the issues that were ahead of them. They still haven't managed to fix them all but some of the more pressing issues have definitely been resolved. It made for a spicy monster read. Not super spicy but it was nice. Everything was built upon as the characters slowly but surely got to know each other. It was also really cool to learn about the different things that they were going through during the time that this book was made. Like why are the humans under the water, how did this technology come into being and how long they have been enemies with the undine. I really enjoyed this more than I thought I would. The characters were compelling, the world immense and has room to grow.  The spice in this book was good. There wasn't a high amount of it but it wa...

The Wraith King - Review

Oh this was good. I enjoyed this book a lot. It flowed very nicely and we get a good amount of time with both characters. The world is built beautifully with a chance for expansion to the many different fae courts. The dragons, the wolves and the many magical creatures just made everything so much better!! The betrayal hurt and I definitely thought it was someone else for awhile until the reveal. Then once everythinf came to light, I was speechless for a sec. Very interesting how it all played out. I hope to see more of these characters in this series! They are compelling, loving and bad ass!!  The spice in this book was nice! I definitely enjoyed the scenes as it helped to enhance the relationship between the characters and to show their growth in their relationship. 3 out of 5 for spice. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it for the fantasy loving girlies! This was giving all that and more! Another author to add to my list. Backlog dive...
