Mist Guild Archive- ARC Review

  This was a different take on vampires which is always refreshing. This was an ok read. There was some things I liked about this book but there was also a few issues. I'll start with what I liked! The idea of melodies is a different concept. Of course it has been explored but there has always been a mate type meaning behind it. In this story it doesn't have to be a mate. Any melody will have the same effect on a vampire. This is pretty much a built in issue for the characters to solve and I love that there can be so many different ways for this to be handled in a story. The idea of witches and warlocks who are changed into vampires feeling like a party of them dies due to their inability to feel magic like before was also a nice touch. Now onto the things I didn't quite like. The beginning of this story felt very disjointed to me. Nothing felt like it was just flowing well. It was like,  one thing happened,  chapter ended, next thing happened but the two things weren't connected really. There wasn't an explanation for how we went from point A to point B. So for me this just made it a little difficult to enjoy. Things do pick up and flow a lot better towards the end of the book. The only hic cup being,  how did no one else figure out the melody situation until Tiato. Who seemed to work really fast once he did figure it out. You'd think that all the other Witches and Warlocks from the past would have figured out something about this... unless they kept it under wraps. That would be a nice storyline to continue on in future books. 
    The spice was ok. We didn't really get any action from the characters until the end and it was a 2 pager.. maybe 2.5. Is give it a 2 out of 5 on my spice scale. Overall I gave this book a 3. It was ok but I probably won't remember it later. The end portion saved it for me. The action picked up there and the flow was much better. I'd probably recommend it to someone who is new to paranormal and wants low spice.

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!!
