Review: World After – Susan Ee

Review: World After – Susan Ee

Darker and more twisted than Angelfall, World After took me into a very strange universe, in which Penryn had to prove herself again and again. My World After review: World After has a very different feel to it than Angelfall, too, whereas there was desperation and fights, as well as hope in Angelfall, here, the desperation is darker and has a deadly edge to it. Penryn is just as strong as I remembered, though, even when she has doubts about her own capabilities. While Penryn and her mom and sister were much the same way I thought they would be, some of the secondary characters I had already met didn’t seem to have the same kind of presence here, and […]

Review: The Prince – Tiffany Reisz

Review: The Prince – Tiffany Reisz

The Prince is so well written! Even with all the kink that kind of makes me uncomfortable, I love this series and the characters so much! My The Prince review: The Prince is different than the first two books in the Original Sinners series, if only for the fact that while Søren and Nora are separated for a big part of the story, I was still able to follow both of them. And I loved that Wes was so present, too, because of how things were left between him and Nora when they parted ways. The mystery wasn’t all that mysterious to me though, which is one part of why I didn’t give The Prince five stars. I thought some […]

Review: Born of Fury (The League #7) – Sherrilyn Kenyon

Review: Born of Fury (The League #7) – Sherrilyn Kenyon

Born of Fury totally lived up to my expectations after reading the other The League stories! These crazy alien assassins and their mates truly made the story excellent! My Born of Fury review: Born of Fury is quite the brick of a book, but what a beautiful brick it is! I love the characters in The League series, they are aliens, living in a far-away galaxy, in a far-away future. And the male main characters are all warriors, fighting against a corrupt government organization of professional killer. However, they also have their families and loved ones to take care of, and they see their brothers-in-arms as true family as well. Hauk has always been treated as a lesser male by […]

Review: Magic Slays – Ilona Andrews

Review: Magic Slays – Ilona Andrews

Holy cliffhanger! And what an amazing story Magic Slays was! I love learning more about Kate. Curran is so great I want to purr when he arrives on the page! My Magic Slays review: In Magic Slays, Kate has started her own PI agency, and the first case she and Andrea got was a very strange one, only to be followed by one that was possibly even stranger. The danger was lurking everywhere, and the magic played havoc on Kate’s senses as she had to figure out how wards could completely disappear, both on her crime scene and closer to town. There are many things making these jobs difficult, but as usual, Kate has her eye on the prize – […]

Review: The Angel – Tiffany Reisz

Review: The Angel – Tiffany Reisz

The Angel continues to show the strange world in which Nora evolves, surrounded by both friends and enemies. My The Angel review: One of the things I really loved in The Angel is that while Søren and Nora can still be seen as the main characters of the story, along with Kingsley, I also got to spend a lot of time with Michael and Griffin in this instalment. Michael was Nora’s angel in The Siren, and seeing him gain confidence and find love was nothing short of amazing. Once more, I was amazed at Ms. Reisz’s beautiful prose, because even when I was reading stuff that made me uncomfortable, I was frantically reading, pushing the ‘next page’ button on my […]

Review: Nowhere But Here – Katie McGarry

Review: Nowhere But Here – Katie McGarry

Nowhere But Here was like a double-hit: one to the gut, and one to the heart. My Nowhere But Here review: I’m not sure I’ll be able to explain what I loved the most in Nowhere But Here, the characters were amazing, both Emily and Oz were well fleshed out, and their parents were very much present in their lives. Very different parents, though – Emily grew up with her mother and her adoptive father, not knowing much about her biological father apart from the fact that he was high up in a motorcycle club. All Oz wanted was to be a part of that same motorcycle club, and he didn’t have much to do before he would finally be […]

Review: Magic Bleeds – Ilona Andrews

Review: Magic Bleeds – Ilona Andrews

Magic Bleeds features many fights and plenty of heartache and I completely and utterly loved it all! My Magic Bleeds review: Kate Daniels is one of the best kick-ass heroines I’ve had the pleasure to read, and she confirmed this in Magic Bleeds! She is strong, dedicated, loyal and fierce. She is also a woman who would love to be a part of something bigger, have someone to love, and someone who loves her – just for her. Of course Saiman is making life difficult for Kate, just because he wants to make life difficult for Curran, but Kate outsmarts Saiman this time, and the hotness that ensues made my kindle fume, at least I think so, because my glasses […]

Review: Faithful – S.A. Wolfe

Review: Faithful – S.A. Wolfe

Funny, hot, romantic and a little melodramatic at times, Faithful was a nice visit back in Hera and all the characters I’ve come to know and love! My Faithful review: In Faithful, Imogene sure showed that her stubborn, sarcastic personality is still going strong! When Cooper starts showing up at the diner, she continues to treat him like he’s the lowest of the low, and he always takes it with a smile and a wink. He’s just as stubborn as she is, even if it seems they want completely opposite things! He wants her, and she wants to be left alone with her shifts at the diner and her new online jewelry business. The characters I had learned to know […]

Review: First Grave on the Right – Darynda Jones

Review: First Grave on the Right – Darynda Jones

First Grave on the Right is filled with amazing snark! I loved Charley’s sarcastic humor, and of course, her skills when it came to seeing and talking to ghosts were great, too. The overall story and plot were well done, and I think I’ve found a new heroine I’ll love. My First Grave on the Right review: I have been wanting to start the Charley Davidson for a long time, and I was lucky enough to receive First Grave on the Right, and the second book in the series as well from my secret Santa, Sharon @ Sharon’s Booknook. As I said in my little tag-line, I loved the snark, and I also really enjoyed the universe in this story. […]

Review: How to Plan a Wedding for a Royal Spy – Vanessa Kelly

Review: How to Plan a Wedding for a Royal Spy – Vanessa Kelly

Fun, mysterious and very hot, How to Plan a Wedding for a Royal Spy continues in the same vein as the other books in this series. I was a little annoyed with Evie at times, though, she didn’t really think things through. My How to Plan a Wedding for a Royal Spy review: The beginning of How to Plan a Wedding… was pretty emotional, because Will was at the end of the battle in Waterloo, seeing all the dead soldiers from both sides of the war. He quickly became happy to be back in England, though, and even planned to give his notice as a spy for the crown. His Duke of a father had other plans, though, because one […]
