A Fate of Wrath & Flame - Review

-



 I will say, that I was very surprised by this book. If you look at my recent reads, you'd think I'm on a binge of this author. It was purely unintentional. Going from Wolf Hotel to this is such a jarring change. Not only because one series is a contemporary romance and the other is a fantasy novel but because there is such a huge drop in the spice level and quality. I was expecting the same thing even though the genres are so different. I had to slog through this book. Romeria was getting on my last nerves for most of this book. Granted she is thrown into a crazy situation (like seriously, what the hell) but I really did have some serious eye rolls happening. I mean seriously, this situation is honestly quite wild. I'm not saying that I would handle it any better but idk. She was getting on my nerves. Actually a lot of them were getting on my nerves. The whole "let's keep secrets that are life changing" thing was gonna drive me up a wall and around the bend. Not to mention the treatment of people in this world was insane. Everyone hates everyone for one reason or another and it's like...how are ya'll living in this world. With all that being said, after the annoyance was over the story is good. Everyone is a pawn in a greater story that you know you are reading. I just need people to stop being annoying. Ironically, I'd read the next book just to see where things go. I am indeed interested but I feel like Romeria and Zander are going to be back at stage one again and lord, idk how long I can handle their back and forth.

The spice in this was ok. Like I said coming from Wolf Hotel to this was like taking an ice plunge. I gave this a 3 out of 5 for spice. Overall I gave this book a 3 out of 5. It's a good start to a new series. The characters are interesting on their own and I would love to learn how they got to be where they are. I want to know what the overarching story is here with the gods and the different worlds. The fact that they still have Romeria's body in our world while she's running around in this other world, is also very interesting to me. I want to see how all of that plays out. Just know that if you are a fan of KA Tucker and you're coming from Wolf Hotel, don't expect Henry Wolf here. Don't expect the level of incredible spice here either...at least in this first book. Time will tell with the others.

Tempt Me - Review

 The next series that I decided to take on in my re-read sessions was the Wolf Hotel series by KA Tucker. This series was one that I devoured when I originally read it so I wanted to see if it still hit the same as then! This first book definitely has taken advantage of the naive virgin trope and really let it go full tilt. We meet Abbi as she is going through one of the worst moments in her life. She just found out that her fiancé cheated on her. Of course she comes from a super religious background meaning that they feel like it's ok for the man to do this while she must remain chaste. I mean all the things that young adults get into are things that she was forbidden to do, whether it was drinking, partying or wearing and talking about certain things. Our girl is oblivious. So when she runs into the one and only Henry Wolf, who has done just about any and everything, she is intrigued and curious. I liked that the FMC wasn't someone who fell into her upbringing heavily and did...

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...

Bride of Brutal Hearts - ARC Review

 This book....whew. So, let me start with the things that I enjoyed. I liked the world set up. Even though things are heavily skewed in the favor of the vampires, there is still a lot of cool lore in this book. The Godstars and the craters, the magic system and runes, everything was laid out nicely for us. The way that the King of Dawn and Dusk were set up was also a nice different thing that what I was used to. Now, let's jump into some peeves. I don't really care for extreme power imbalances and this one is extreme. From the fact that Nessa starts out completely powerless to where she ends up in the end of the book. I could almost scream at how frustrating this is. I mean, the back and forth that she has in her mind where she is just all about sharing her body with them but also morally disliking them was low key exhausting. I felt for her but also girl what? Then everything that begins to unfold later one almost threw me for a loop. Like I don't know whether or not I lik...
