The Wild Man - Review

-



 I have to say that this book definitely is not for the faint of heart. If you are someone who finds certain things irredeemable then this book will not be fore you. You will definitely want to check your triggers before you read this book. I am apparently unhinged so I just dived in and took the book for what it was. At first, I was instantly like oh no...I don't know if he can come back from this. Then as things progressed between Everlee and Wild Man, I found that I could forgive him. Though it definitely would take some time for me to come to terms with things if I was in her shoes. I liked how the story was done. It definitely did not take the easy approach and Alex Grayson was not afraid to go there. While the story of what happened to Wild Man and how he ended up where he was, is tragic, I'm glad that it shaped him into who he was. Ironically enough, I disliked how her brothers and father treated Everlee once she came back to civilization. The way that they believed that they knew what was best for her despite her telling them otherwise was a little crazy. I am glad that in the long run things worked out but they still have some groveling to do in my opinion. Though they themselves aren't that far from the mindset that Wild Man had so, I would probably forgive them in time. The main thing that I wish we got more of is the after. Seeing Wild Man acclimate to the world outside of what he knew. Not to mention, does he ever bond with her brothers? 

The spice in this book was hitting for me. I love everything about the primal dynamic that existed in this story. I gave it a 5 out of 5 for the spice. Overall, I think that you have to be someone who is open to the primal dynamic that exist in this story in order to enjoy it. This is definitely a dark romance in almost every sense of the word. I would only recommend it to those who enjoy that genre. Even then, I would warn you to check your triggers before reading. This was an enjoyable retelling for me. I look forward to reading more from this author!

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...
