Voodoo Doll - ARC Review

-




 This was a short and dark read about a priest who found a woman and just couldn't let her go. Let me tell you, the way things unfolded in this book was...different. It also kinda went from 0 to 100 real quick. Which, I guess....it's a novella but even I got whiplash from how fast it picked up. Things were going slowly and I almost felt like Bash didn't really like his familiar...which is an interesting choice. I was also hoping that there was going to be more of a the FMC turning to the MMC's side. Instead he kinda used his power to manipulate her. Which was kinda...meh. I liked everything else about this book except how the "relationship" developed. It just felt like it was fully manipulated instead of something that built or even insta love. It was just...different. It also felt kind of weird to me since there is already a bad connotation with Voodoo and now we have this guy who took a woman who pretty much used his power to make her feel something for him. When she doesn't appear to even have any feelings for him at all. The situation with her boyfriend was terrible! Omg I didn't expect that things were going to play out the way that it did. That was the craziest part of the story. 

The spice was ok. I give it a 2 out of 5. There are some spicy dream scenes and then of course they get together themselves. I had checked out at the time that it all happened. Overall I give this book a 3 out of 5. The mystery of what was going on with the boyfriend was probably the most interesting part of the story. When the reveal happened I was speechless! I guess I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a crazy, occult read.

Binder - ARC Review

Yall, I try not to be long winded when I do my reviews because I don't want to spoil you. Also I try to be a raving looney toon as well but this series is going to probably have the longest reviews I've written. When I say that I am head over heels for these characters, this world, the story. I truly am. Once again we are back in this world meeting so many new faces and some returning! I was so happy to see that Rogan was back! I knew it would throw an interesting wrench between Kara and Flynn and boy did it!! Rogan was just someone who was there briefly in the Prequel Breeder, but he was important to Kara. The fact that he disappeared after what happened in the prequel was investing to me and he always lingered in the back of my mind but never,  did I expect his return to be what it was!! I definitely hope we get a story on him! I just know he has an amazing story to tell!! Cal, is still a wild card for me. There are some people who have lived a long time in this series and Ca...

Daughter of No World's - Review

 This book was probably better than I thought it was going to be. I really enjoyed the characters and the world that was built. It was very light on the romance but it definitely managed to shine through when needed. I also would like to add that it did feel like it kind of dragged at certain points in the story and I would have liked if some things were sped up a little. Other than that though things were nice. The story of Max and how he came to be how he was, was tragic. Of course that's the truth of some of the "heroes" of wars. I am interested in seeing how things continue in the next book. Not only with Max, but definitely with Tisannah and the order. I also want to say that I listened to this in it's audiobook form and this was it was um...interesting. You could hear everything with this audio. I mean everything. Every breath that the voice actors took, any noise in their background, page turns and everything. I have been spoiled with these full cast audios and...

Ruthless King - Review

  This was a spicy and fun read! I really enjoyed getting to know the Sokolov brothers! Their story was tragic and crazy but definitely worth the ride that we went on in this book! This book has what you can expect from an omegaverse book, muscle bound alphas with aggression issues, middle of the road betas and the soft spoken and often over looked omegas. The omegas in this world are pretty much subject to whatever the alpha's want. They are believed to just be bed warmers. I do like the idea that the omega's have power that can only be used to it's full potential if the alpha that bonds them actually cares about them. It makes the men have to actually try to care if they want power. Most of the omega's in this world do not have access to their gifts past puberty due to them not forming bonds that are forged with love. Of course this is something that most alpha's ignore and has been lost, for the most part, to the pages of history. Until vengeance brings these two...
