From Blood and Ash - Review

-

My book club is reading this so I decided to make it a re-read for this month!! Getting back into this world felt like a welcome home after a long journey. Seeing Poppy how she was in the beginning was crazy!! So naive and trusting of those who didnt deserve it. The power dynamic between her and Cas was so different here. I really liked it but I also cant wait for what's to come for her. Getting back into the lore of this world made me want to have a notebook handy so I write down everything we learned in this book. There was a lot of death and killing in this book. I almost forgot how much they fought. Not to mention how much Poppy and Cas fight each other. I listened to this book, this time around and the graphic audio was amazing!! Little details really popped!! 

The spice in this one was minimal but what we did get was hot! 3 out of 5 for the spice. Overall i enjoyed this re-read and I've already downloaded the second one to jump into. This story has already pulled me in and has me wanting more again. Fantasy lovers and strong FMC lovers will enjoy this read. If you've never taken the leap into the world of Blood and Ash, now is the time. The series is close to the end!

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...
