A Touch of Ruin - Review

-




 I have never yelled so much at a character as I did Persephone in this book. I mean, my goodness!! She was everywhere and doing everything but what she needed to do. I was ready to throw the book (I was listening on audible) down a long hallway! Jeeze, it was almost like watching a teenager through a tantrum. Of course I also had to remember that she is still new to the mortal world and was caged for a long time. Still....her reactions were driving me crazy. I can't wait to read the events that happened in this book from Hades POV. I mean Persephone was well and truly being a brat. They fought at any and all opportunity. I didn't even know if they were going to make up at some points. I'm glad they did and Hades has the patience of a saint! I definitely had to stop the audio a few times just to calm down from her antics. It got a little better towards the end but she is pretty annoying through out. I'm glad that she has the friends that she does because they were also very patient with her. Then again, they are gods, who have seen people act rashly from momentary emotions for awhile, so it's understandable. I did still enjoy this book even though Persephone made me get a few extra wrinkles while reading it.

The spice in this book was nice!! All the moments that Hades and Persephone had to make up with each other in this book was punctuated with some great spicy scenes. I have to give them a 4 out of 5 for spice! Overall, I definitely would recommend this book to anyone who liked the first book in this series. Though I would also let them know that Persephone took her annoying level up to a 10,000.00. Maybe, I'm jaded because I have read so many of these books but I just was on another level of annoyed when she was surprised that Hades couldn't help her with the problem she was having. She knows how things work in that world and so the fact that she thought she was an exception to the rules was crazy. I'm glad in the end, she kinda came to terms with what happened but getting there was like pulling teeth. It did have the added perk of maybe adding another god to her corner but sheesh. So just know that you will be annoyed by her but I did feel like the end almost made it worth it. I plan to continue the series.

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...

Beneath Hoof and Hollow - ARC Review

This was a great dark spicy Halloween read!! I really enjoyed this! Em and Fier definitely matched each other's freak. In all forms from the blood and guts to the pumpkin magic cum! Emmeline had to be strong to dry years of teaching to try to not only save herself but also the other women of the village. I can't help but wonder if the men who joined on Itrimorts side thought about the fact that she they killed all the women they wouldn't have any.... apparently not. Even though too many women died before the demon could be killed,  a good prob of them were still able to be saved. I liked the characters in this book, especially sassy Horace! A for spice, you might as well put it in all caps because this book had it in spades. From invisible man sex to pumpkin monster sex. It was packed in these pages. Solid 5 out of 5 on spice. Overall I'd give this book a 4 out of 5. It was enjoyable, freaky and told beautifully. There was no dull moments and everything flow...

The Death King - Review

  Whew, this book has definitely reminded my why I love this authors writing. This book was so so good! I enjoyed stepping into this world of unknowns, dragons and gifted. I will say this is definitely going to be a series that I devour. Be careful of  your triggers with this one because it is definitely a dark fantasy romance. Calista is definitely a fiesta FMC who will fight for what she wants and will take nothing less. She starts out in a pretty terrible situation with no light at the end of the tunnel only to be taken and put into another situation that had the potential to be worse than the previous one that she was in. Then we also have Talon. When we first meet him, he is definitely someone who we are supposed to not like. This is definitely enemy to friends with benefits to enemies and hopefully back to lovers. One of the things I didn't really think would be a big deal that became a big deal was finding out who Calista really was. I didn't think it would matter to Ta...
