Control is Key

-
    

 Control is key for Rice and her men in this second book of the Shadowblood Souls series.  They've lived their lives as experiments not knowing the extent of what they could do. As new powers develop they try to learn control. I enjoyed seeing Riva and her men essentially try to come to terms with each other.  There is still a lot of hurt and pain for each of them to deal with and it's not that everything isn't rushed and swept under the rug. Riva actually tries to figure out her feelings for each of the men and ends up being with at least 2 of them by the end of the book. We see a lot of prejudice from other shadowbloods due to them being half bloods. They seem to have all the strength but none of the drawbacks. I loved that we got to see how that was dealt with and how they are going to go on moving forward. The cliffhanger that this book left is on is insane!! Like I was hoping something like this would happen but at the same time I'm shocked. I want to see how things progress with everyone after this. It's giving Savage Lands though,  with how they escape and then got captured again. I how they escape and stay out again. I'm unsure if it's just Riva that is captured or what.  We'll see when I start book 3.
   As for the spice, it was definitely spicing. I liked the scenes that we got in this book!! Definitely a lot more than what we got in the previous book. I'd give it a 4 out of 5. It wasn't like super burn your pages got but it was nice.  I want more, Riva has 4 men and I need her to use them!! Though I understand why she hasn't. I have this book a 4 overall because I enjoyed it,  even though it had some slow points. Is recommend this book and series. I'm looking forward to more in the next book.

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!!
