Of Tails and Tentacles

   This story had a very unique start in that our poor FMC had cancer and was a double amputee at the beginning of the story. Through luck and providence she is able to get cured of the cancer and grow her legs back and then gets shipped off to another planet. Of course nothing can go according to plan. Faye (our FMC) is kidnapped from her transport vessel by space pirates who very nearly give her away to a vicious Alpha. Of course she learns all about dynamics when she's kidnapped and finds out that she is a highly prized Omega. Faye along with her new best friend Mara are caged and are pretty much told they are going to be kept as the ship broadmares. After being given to an abusive and powerful alpha Faye manages to escape the pirates with plans to return and save her friend Mara. She goes to their original destination Sathion and is able to meet up with a native who is an alpha, named Irikav. Of course she promptly goes into heat and spends that time with Irikav. 
         This book had some hills and valleys for me. Like the beginning was definitely a hill. The valley was when Mara and Faye were kidnapped. I understand why it happened since if it didn't then Faye never would have met Irikav when she escaped but the extra with the abusive alpha and the near rapes were kinda meh to me. It definitely could have been skipped. That portion took me awhile to get past once Faye reached Sathion, I was able to speed through the rest. Seeing her explore the planet and meet Irikav and learn the specifics of his people was interesting. I wanted to know more about their underground cities and see the interaction with the other human who mated with a Sathion. I wish there was more time spent on those aspects of the story than what we got. I'll admit I'm not one to enjoy books that have much abuse in them. I understand getting through the rough to get to the other side but sometimes it feels unnecessary and a little overboard. Not that that's what was done here but just as a note to you, my readers. 
      I would give this book a 3.5 out of 5. I enjoyed it and would have given it a 4.5 if it wasn't for that random rough patch in the middle. The spice was ok. There wasn't much but I really was interested in the story of the people of Sathion. I'd give the spice a 2 out of 5. Overall I'd recommend this book to others and will probably read more of this series!!

Am I A Furry?

   I finally decided to take the plunge and start this series. This book was really good and I felt so much for Elise. She has so much happening and to see her experience moments of pure happiness was the most rewarding part of this book. As for the men, whew, I really want to continue this series just to see how she is able to resolve the fact that two of the men are mortal enemies. How are they going to come to terms with each other? They are mortal enemies and their families have hated each other for generations!! The others I can see getting along just because but generational enemies?!?!?! That right there is enough to make me want to finish the series. There are so many things that are thrown in here that I'm like, GIVE ME MORE!! I have to know what's going on! The principle, what's his deal because I just feel like he's involved some how. Felix Oscura, who does he want dead enough to involve Ryder? Who is the King? Is it Cindy Lou? Is the name there t

End of The Month Wrap Up- September '23

   We are here again with another End of the Month Wrap Up. It's crazy to say that I can't believe it again but we have burned through this month in a blink. I have gone on a trip and come back and here we are, at the end of the month once again!! I didn't do as much reading as I wanted to since I fell into a slump during the middle of the month. Still all of the books that I read were interesting in their own way. So let's see where all these books fell this month!       Favorite Character:   Avery- Avery from Wonder Light is my selection as favorite character of the month!! I loved that she decided to take some time for herself and do something crazy. Sometimes doing something different can be just what we need to shock our systems and can reset us. Especially when we you go through something traumatic. I also loved her location choice! Most of the places that she went to in this book are places that I also visited. Her personality was almost exactly like

The Cliffiest of Cliff Hangers

    Whew,  I received this ARC for a honest review of this book. Let me just say that this was cruel and unusual punishment!! Like the title for this review says, the biggest cliff, in cliffhanger history ends this book.  The next page asks us to wait until next year for the next book.  I won't survive. I will spend the next week writing down theories of how this could continue.      The characters in this book are so memorable!! I love a snarky heroine and her dark hero. These two are actually a match made in... well hell? Darkness? I don't know but I can't wait to read more when the next book in this series drops. I definitely recommend this book!! The spice didn't come to the end but it was hot !! I give the spice 3 out of 5 simply because I wish there was more!! It was so good! Overall I'd rate this book 4 out of 5!! Great works building,  great characters, and plot. Everything is paced nicely and it definitely leaves you wanting more!!
