Review: Five Weeks – Dannika Dark

Review: Five Weeks – Dannika Dark

Bad-ass shifters – and an amazing female MC made Five Weeks an amazing read! My Five Weeks review: Five Weeks includes everything I love in Ms. Dark’s UF universe! There is romance and a lot of tension, characters that seem very real with flaws and qualities, an amazing story and a well-executed plot. The writing is really good, mostly from Izzy’s point of view, first person, in past tense, but with some third person passages as well. It was a true pleasure to get to know Jericho better, he intrigued me quite a bit in both Seven Years and Six Months, with his distant way of interacting with his brothers in the Weston household. Izzy also appealed to me from the […]

Review: The Cowboy Kiss – Kristen James

Review: The Cowboy Kiss – Kristen James

My The Cowboy Kiss review: The Cowboy Kiss is a sweet and very short contemporary romance in which two childhood friends meet up again after six years apart. Cory knows he only has a few days to sweep Autumn off her feet, and apparently, he manages to do so – even if that happened off page. Even in a short story, I think it’s possible to show a little bit more of what the characters are thinking and feeling, and I was not really satisfied when The Cowboy Kiss Ended. The writing is quite good, though, and if you’re in the mood for something very short, The Cowboy Kiss might be just what you need. It was a little bit […]

Review: A SEAL’s Secret – Tawny Weber

Review: A SEAL’s Secret – Tawny Weber

  Hotness galore, romance, strong characters and important choices – A SEAL’s Secret has it all! My A SEAL’s Secret review: The story of A SEAL’s Secret starts with… a push-up competition between Mitch and Livi, and from there, things heat up very quickly! Livi is usually very shy, but she has decided that for Halloween, she’s letting herself have some fun. When she spots Super-Hottie across the room, she knows she’d like to have some fun with him. Mitch, on the other hand, usually is rather a flirt, never wanting anything serious in his life, apart from his work as a SEAL. When he sees Livi, though, he wonders if there just might be more to life than work. […]

Review: When – Victoria Laurie

Review: When – Victoria Laurie

When is the story about a girl who can see when people will die – the exact date of their death – but she doesn’t know what to do with the information, and suddenly she’s the main suspect in a murder investigation. My When review: The mystery with the serial killer is well done in When, and it was impossible for me to figure out who the killer was, and how it tied in with the fact that Maddie could see when people would die. Those dates, however, weren’t ever really explained, and Maddie didn’t figure out why she could see these dates, or what she was supposed to do about it. The writing is good, even if the voice […]

Review: Home – J.A. Huss

Review: Home – J.A. Huss

Everything comes together perfectly in Home – in the very end! Both Vaughn and Grace still have some heartache to go through first, but they both step up to show how strong they are both as individual and as a couple! My Home review: Home makes the Social Media serial stay a roller coaster until the very end! Between doubts, very strong love, amazing characters and a story that made me feel out of breath, it truly brought the serial to a perfect ending. I was amazed by both Vaughn and Grace, even if I thought Grace did jump to conclusions at one point… The way Home folded out was so well done, and the dual point of views made […]

Blogtour Review: Shinigami Eyes – Cheree and Adam Smith

Blogtour Review: Shinigami Eyes – Cheree and Adam Smith

Shnigami Eyes follows Rin after her parents send her to Tokyo after an incident at her high-school dance in Australia, to help her get her life together. But it seems getting her life together isn’t all that easy. Welcome to my stop on the Shingami Eyes blogtour! I have my review and favourite quotes as usual, and there’s also a tour-wide giveaway for you to participate in. My Sinigami Eyes review: From the start, Shinigami Eyes drew me in completely. Rin intrigued me, and so did a vision she had while on the train from the airport, sitting next to her cousin. She was sure she saw a boy push a girl in front of a train on the other […]

Review: Profile – J.A. Huss

Review: Profile – J.A. Huss

Profile took me on a wild and very scary ride, as Grace had to figure out how to flee once more. With my heart in my throat, I kept wanting to close my eyes for fear something terrible would happen to one of my favourite heroines. My Profile review: Please beware that Profile is the fifth book in the Social Media series, and even if I try very hard to not post anything spoilerish, there are some spoilers from prior books in my review this time. If you aren’t up to date, read at your own discretion. In Profile, Grace and Vaughn are separated – not by choice – for most of the story, and it made all past decisions, […]

Review: Heroic Abduction – Eve Langlais

Review: Heroic Abduction – Eve Langlais

Purple, strong, hot alien meets headstrong human female who is always ready for a new adventure in Heroic Abduction. My Heroic Abduction review: Dyre is very different from the other purple aliens I’ve come to know through the Alien Abduction series! He’s a mercenary who wants to be a hero, and that brings about many humorous situations in Heroic Abduction. With his inner musings commenting everything from how Betty looks to what he’d rather have her eat instead of her pizza, I was howling with laughter more than once! Traveling through the galaxies searching for one of Betty’s human friends, Dyre, Betty and Zista come into lots of difficult situations where Dyre can prove just how heroic he is. Expect […]

Review: Clean Sweep – Ilona Andrews

Review: Clean Sweep – Ilona Andrews

Clean Sweep is the amazing start to yet another awesome series by power-couple Ilona Andrews. Witty, magical and with a strong female character, I loved the way the first story in the Innkeeper Chronicles is so different from their Kate Daniels series. My Clean Sweep review: Dina is a really good character to follow, she has some magic, but it’s mostly chained to the inn she’s the hostess of. And it’s a very special kind of inn, too, in which people of various species come to stay, and where the keeper has to make sure they are safe during the time they are there. With vampires, werewolves, aliens and parallel worlds, Clean Sweep encompasses a whole universe of characters, possibilities […]
