The Self Crowned Queen

-
     

  When I started this book, I didn't know that it was essentially 3 novellas that were combined into one book. It definitely felt that way when you cross into the different parts of the book. Everytime a new part started there was a mini recap of what happened in the previous part. Which kind of took me out of the story at times. I wish this portion was edited so that it didn't feel like it was literally just 3 novellas thrown together. Onto the actual story, it wasn't bad but it also felt a little dragged out sometimes which again I feel like is due to the fact that it felt like they just copy pasted together the novellas instead of editing it to feel like one cohesive story. When I got to the 90% mark, the ending felt rushed and didn't do justice to the rest of the book that I spent all my time reading. 
       Now when it comes to spice, whew this part was definitely not lacking. In fact a majority of this book is spent with the characters in bed. It is definitely a thigh clencher. Though even at some points I was like 😐 are yall gonna actually do something other than have sex all day. There really wasn't any talk of what these vamps did outside of having sex with each other. The time period was also hard to place even though I do believe this was a modern day story. It felt like it took place in the middle ages sometimes. Even though this book is called Court of the Vampire Queen, there wasn't much of a court going on until the last 90%. Our MC was supposed to be a seraphim and powerful but it didn't really feel like she was. 
      Overall I wasn't to excited to read this book. I actually kind of struggled to finish this. The spice was amazing but not enough to save the actual story. Everything was stated but when it came to action it was pretty unbelievable. Men were supposed to be essentially super vamps but were hunted down and captured easily. MC was supposed to be this last-of-her-kind type of powerful being and it just didn't feel that way. So for the story, I give it a 2 out of 5. The spice was off the charts. At times it was amazing and was thigh clenchingly good. I'd give the spice a 4 out of 5. Which leaves me with a 3 out of 5 overall for this book. Not sure I'd recommend it unless someone just wanted to read the great smutty parts.

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!!
