Blood of Two Crowns - Review

-

 This book had a lot going on. The story is definitely there and interesting with how everyone is somehow connected to each other. However, there is so much happening. I wish that some of it was spaced out a little more. Let us breath in the events that just happened before something else happened. We also don't really get the opportunity to dislike someone. Zurie gets some time in this book, Keres gets some time and Azrael as well, which makes it hard to strongly dislike them when we see them do bad things to our MCs. Who do you root for in situations like this? It made it feel like less of the story of our MCs and more of a story of this world. Which I'm ok with, it was just a big change from the first book where we were mainly with the MCs and viewed the world through their eyes. I would like to get to the next book to see how things wrap up for some of the characters that we encountered in this book. Things are not settled in the realms and I can't wait to see if we get one of these characters back in the next book. Even though there is a lot going on, a lot of it is interesting and I definitely want to see how some of these threads shake out. There are so many gods moving right now and seeing them working with each other and against each other is interesting.

The spice in this book was pretty good. Even from the characters that I was surprised we got it from. I definitely gave this a 4 out of 5. Overall, I liked this book even though it got a little muddy in places. Mainly because the characters are likeable, the story for those characters is good even though there are more POVs that I think were needed. The story and the way it was written is good. I would probably recommend this book to those who enjoy why choose and fantasy romance.

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...

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...

Ancients - ARC Review

I was not thinking that this book was going to be what it was. Honestly, I'm surprised that I was able to finish this. It feels almost ant-everything that I loved about this author's previous releases. Maybe I've just been steeped in the dark reads for too long or something. This book gave off a kind of self hatred that was almost an instant turn off. Sarah, our FMC, is a vampire who hates drinking blood. So she pretty much walks around half starved for most of the time we see her. So, I'm going to pause and explain why this was an issue for me. So, she proves within a short while that she can feed without harming people because she lets a man go that she was feeding on. WIthout him being any wiser to the situation. Already, she has given herself a solution to the issue. She doesn't want to kill people and we see that she doesn't HAVE to. Instead, she barely takes what she needs and continues on half starved and drinking cold blood. You'd think s...
