This Side of the Grave - Review

-

 


This book continues the adventure of Cat and Bones as they navigate a ghoul attempting to start a war over Cats' existence. I liked this one because we not only get to see some growth from Cat but we also get to see the other two couples who have gotten together show out a little bit as well. Keira and Denise definitely showed up and let everyone know that they are not only there for their men but will also fight when needed. Of course the guys have always been ready to lend a hand. Mencherres, Spade and Vlad have always been some of the most ride or die friends that Cat and Bones have in this world. Now of course one of the only single ones is Vlad, and him and Cat talk about it alot. Which reminds me that I can't WAIT to start the Night Prince series! I hope they keep the same narrator for Vlad that they've had through out the Graphic Audio of him in the Night Huntress series. Of course there is something that happens in this book that was pretty inevitable. It was the one thing that kept Cat and Bones apart for awhile...and that's death. I hated to see this character go because they meant a lot to not only Cat but to a lot of the other characters that we have come to know and love. Watching her deal with it even though she is now immortal was an interesting thing. I think she handled it better than some of the characters that I can think of. Her ability to learn quickly from the things that she experiences in life has made Cat a great character. 

The spice in this one was pretty minimal. The main focus is definitely the story. I would give the spice a 2 out of 5. Overall, I enjoyed this installment in the series. The banter and the wit that the narrators are able to add to the characters is amazing. The story was great with advancing Cat and Bones to where I know they will eventually be. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has already enjoyed Cat and Bones, if you haven't then you definitely should! This is great for PNR lovers, especially those who enjoy witty vamps who will do whatever it takes for each other.

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...
