Dawn of the Cursed Queen - Review

Image
  Wow, what a ride that was! I have no words for what I just read. I mean...I guess I'll start with all the different POVs. This was definitely a change from the previous books. Of course we needed all of them to get a slight handle on all the moving parts that is going. The realms are changing and there is so much going on that it's insane just how much. Of course everything was triggered by Dianna and Samkiel. The things that ends up happening to them and the overwhelming amount of power they have as well as the power that they have yet to unveil. We can even talk about the blossoming romance amongst so many different characters. I can kinda see where some things are going but others are still a little murky. That ending though! Oh my goodness. Again there is a lot happening and I have no idea what is going to happen with the craziness that happened at the end of this book. Whew. I can't wait for other things to fall into place and for us to have the gang back together ag...

A Kingdom of Blood and Fate - ARC Review

Image
 This was an interesting story. I was definitely hooked from the beginning. This focuses on Caz, Caspian and Bri. I definitely had a different idea of how things were going to go and they went a complete opposite way. Not a bad way just a different way. I enjoyed getting to know Bri and Caspian in this book. Even though it ends up being a weird why choose situation (you'll have to read it to find out) we really spend most of the time with Caspian and Bri. We get some time with Caz but since Bri has already had so much life experience with him prior to us meeting him, most of the time is spent getting to know Caspian. I definitely really liked Caspian. Though I almost wanted to see more of the ruthlessness in him. What makes his siblings respect him other than the fact that he's the oldest? Of course we do get to see a ruthless side of him when it came to dealing with anything with Bri. I liked the world that was created in this story with the two halves of one soul and how the ...

Viciously Yours - Review

Image
 I liked this book! Even though the characters were 25 and sometimes acted like they were teenagers. I will say that Rennick is my kinda guy. In books that is. In reality he's a lil cray for sure. I really enjoyed his savagery. He was willing to do whatever it took when it came to his mate. I actually enjoyed the beginning a lot. Them leading separate lives and having to send notes to each other through out the years until they could be together was so cute. Even though most of the notes weren't that long, getting to see both sides of the notes was just so endearing. Once they finally got together I was surprised that I was really on team Rennick so hard! He was just a guy trying to get to his mate and hoped that everything worked out. I liked that he wasn't one of those characters who was unhappy with the fact that his mate was human and just accepted it for what it was. I would love to get a story for Finn. He was the bestie that we all need. Though there was times that I...

A Kingdom of Blood and Magic - Review

Image
I went into this one with the expectation that there would be little to no spice.  I really appreciate that the author kinda keys you know in the beginning that there wasn't going to be any, instead of getting surprised later. However there was a lot of heavy petting that I can't wait to come to fruition. In this book we meet Mareina and I really liked her. Strong FMCs are always a W in my book. She still has her moments where she was soft but it was only to those who deserved it. Another big W. She was a well balanced character in my opinion. The MMCs were a well. I like Nakoa and Malakei, even though we didn't get much of Malakei. I hope we see more of him in book 2. I'm very split on how I feel about the two of the MMCs. Nakoa seems like the hero that would sacrifice his love for the world, while Malakei is the opposite. Nakoa understands coming from nothing and struggling to be better while Malakei seems like he could be a rule follower that judges. They...

Reckless Beta- ARC Review

Image
I can't believe I just found this series!! I really, really enjoyed this book!! Even though it is a series you can jump in here and not feel like you're missing vital pieces of anything. I'm definitely going to go back and read the backlog for the shifters!! In this book we have Nash and AJ! Their story was beautifully told in this book. They just couldn't keep their hands off each other!! They both have baggage that they have to deal with on top of having to watch out for the hunters that are trying to kill all shifters. I felt so bad that they couldn't even shift and had to essentially suppress their Wolves just to feel safe! As an avid shifter reader, we all should know that this is dangerous. Holding in such a vital part of yourself for as long as they have to is crazy!! This book is heavily focused on Nash and AJ but we do get glimpses into the people around them. I love getting attached to all the characters in a world and not just the main ones. T...

Midnight Magic- ARC Review

Image
       We are back with the Clover Pack!! Kinda... this book starts off where the previous one left off.  So actually we're in the Fae Realm lol. With this book we get so many reveals that I almost couldn't handle it!! Questions you had in the first book,  ANSWERS we get!! It was perfectly spaced out as not to overwhelm us and we got to meet so many new characters!! I don't know who I want to read about more now!! I how after Rowans story is complete we get more of the people we've met in this book. My heart was almost broken though, I won't even tell you who but someone almost DIED!! I was like,  please no,  not again!! The last book hurt me enough,  I couldn't handle it if we lost someone else. Luckily we didn't and more love interest have popped up.  I just really enjoy getting to dive into a world that makes me care about the other characters as well as the main crew.     This book had more spice in it than...

Broken Fae Review

   Yall. The way they left us on a cliff hangar!! I can't even deal!! I haven't binged through a series like this in awhile. This one though, I'm immediately starting the next one. Like no stop, insta download. I enjoyed this book so much! There were some slow moments in the middle but man has things just kicked up a notch. We have the mystery of Gareths death almost solved and I'm on edge!! We have made it up to hours before his death and I just need to know what happened!! In current time we have a lead on who Elise's dad is!! We get so much emotional reveals with her that it's insane! I was almost in tears right along with her. The guys also have their emotional moments with Ryder having the most growth in this book. I've loved getting them to come back to Elise. I can't wait for this final book!!    The spice in this one has been the best so far! We've had great 1 on 1 moments with the guys as well as some amazing group scenes!! I...

Demon's Deal

      This is going to be a short review because I don't like to bash an authors hard work. This book just really wasn't for me. It was advertised as being spicy and I guess if you only read YA then this would be considered spicy but it definitely was the furthest thing from spicy. I did not like this book. It took me awhile to get through it and after awhile I ended up skipping pages upon pages of the book because it felt like reading filler. The most interesting thing about this book was the story behind what happened to Calla. I was definitely invested in figuring out why she was taken and her memory was wiped. It was a nice reveal at the end but it being the cause of their tension at the end just didn't really hold water for me. I was interested in Magnus and Vaggo by that point. I'm tempted to see if we get more from them.      The spice was nothing to write home about. It was definitely there but I feel like the author didn't really w...

Dragons!! Oh my!!

Image
   I want to start this review by saying that I liked this book. A three star from me is average.  Like I don't hate it but it's probably not one that's going to be super stand out in my memory. With that being said, I have this book a 3. Mainly because I have some issues believing some of what happens. I like the storyline and seeing Jenna have to reconcile with the fact that she's actually what she's been trained and conditioned to kill. The relationship she has with her brother dives through this whole story. It's beautiful. I can completely relate to her with her love of the sea as well. I live on the coast so seeing,  smelling and just being near the ocean has been ingrained in me since birth. But.... after she meets the dragons and everything that happens after is.... not as believable for me.  So this will have spoilers just FYI. Skip to the last paragraph of you want to avoid spoilers.       So, why do I say it's unbelieva...

Parental Drama

Image
      This book is the first in a series for the Ardelean Wolves and it is a slower paced book than I'm used to. It's heavily plot driven without letting that stop you from enjoying the book. There is spice in this book but it definitely takes a back seat to everything else happening.  We have Thalia whose life is being threatened because of a political stance by her mother. She had her whole life uprooted as she is protected by Cade, a former military man. We get a front seat to seeing how she starts to fall for Cade but insecurities are rampant in her mind. She feels that they are later validated when she finds out that one again politics is taking advantage of her life. It's not enough to stop the feelings that she's grown to have for Cade and they eventually get back together. I liked Thalia and could relate to her when it came to having insecurities about yourself despite what others may say. Her thirst for knowledge and her ability to accept pe...

Expect the Unexpected

Image
       This book was so good but it was predictable. From the moment that we discover that the two characters have the same marks the ending is predictable. Mind you how they got there was the interesting part. I enjoyed the journey even though I knew how things was going to end by the time this book ended. I'm interested in seeing how things progress from here. I have my predictions but since this isn't a spoiler review,  I won't say anything. I liked that Estrella wanted more for herself than what was dictated to her but the fact that it was constantly a point of contention was a little annoying. I almost wish they had more petty things to argue about than whether he saw her as his equal or not. I do want more info on some things that happened but I feel like we're going to get that in the next book.      The spice in this book had so much potential!! I think my idea of how things should be tainted my view of how they happened. I exp...
