The First Drop of Crimson - Review

-




 I'm not sure if I read this book when I was initially reading the Night Huntress series but I did enjoy stepping my foot back into this world. This time, instead of Cat and Bones being the ones that we follow on their high stakes journey, it is Spade and Denise! These two are the besties of Bones and Cat and I loved that they were able to get together! Of course the last time that we saw Denise it was with a tragic event happening, so seeing her get a story that ends in happiness was very nice. This involved some banter between our MMCs and we got some more flashbacks of Spades life as a human and how he met Bones. Vampire politics is again on display in this one and it is very nice to see things built upon that we already established. This book had me laughing and was just really enjoyable! 

The spice in this book was also very nice. Spade and Denise both were kinda in some dry spells but managed to end that with each other. 4 out of 5 on my spice scale. Overall, I thought this was a great addition to the Night Huntress series and I really liked these characters. I think it shows that you can move on from grief after it happens and not forget those that are no longer with us. I loved seeing that displayed here. Spade was not trying to replace Denise's husband and she was not trying to replace his fiancee. They both just realized that they did deserve happiness and to move into a new type of love with someone else. Beautifully told and a great story. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed any of the other books in this series. Also if you just plain love vampires, and goofiness, then you will like this book! 4 out of 5 overall!!

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...
