Review: This Night so Dark – Amie Kaufmann and Meagan Spooner

Review: This Night so Dark – Amie Kaufmann and Meagan Spooner

This Night so Dark is the perfect novella to help fans stay patient while waiting for This Shattered World. There is more Tarver, a little Lilac, and a lot of intrigue and mystery. My This Night so Dark review: Showing both a little of what happened with Tarver and Lilac after the ending of These Broken Stars, and also some of the events that lead up to their meeting was good. Seeing the way Tarver had moved up in the military, and the way he treated the soldiers under him, as well as his quick wit and fast assessment of difficult and potentially dangerous situations made me love him even more. And the way his nightmares woke Lilac, and the […]

Review: Mortal Heart – Robin LaFevers

Review: Mortal Heart – Robin LaFevers

Mortal Heart rounded up His Fair Assassin series beautifully! With much more mythology, and the big mystery of why Annith was being left behind, I was up half the night because I couldn’t sleep until I had finished reading. My Mortal Heart review: The setting was awesome, the character development of Annith was really good, and I loved learning more about the mythology of Mortain and the other nine my favorite assassin nuns and others worshipped. Annith finally showed her backbone, and she acted according to her own beliefs rather than blindly following the abbess. And let me tell you, the abbess really pissed me off in Mortal Heart – not that I actually liked her in Dark Triumph or […]

Review: Skin Game – Jim Butcher

Review: Skin Game – Jim Butcher

Skin Game is an amazing installment in the Dresden Files series! Harry has several epiphanies thanks to his friends, and there are lots of bad guys to fight, while protecting the innocent. My Skin Game review: Jim Butcher has outdone himself with Skin Game! To read the 15th book in a series and think ‘yes, this one is my favorite!’ is nothing short of amazing. Harry has come a long, long way, and the fact that he’s been all alone on the strange island in Lake Michigan with Demonreach has made him feel a little out of touch both with himself and with his friends. Who can he trust? Who should he stay away from? And how come his head […]

Review: Block – J.A. Huss

Review: Block – J.A. Huss

Block has everything a contemporary romance should have, there’s some mystery, lots of hotness, a character who has a well hidden secret and a movie star who falls in love for the first time. My Block review: Well, so far, for each new book in the Social Media series, Ms. Huss has been able to up the ante and get me more and more involved with the characters. Block brings a lot more to Grace especially. It is so easy to understand both her obsession with Vaughn, and her confusion because he seems to be just as obsessed with her. Also, the things about Vaughn that bothered me a little in Follow are all forgotten now. He has shown me […]

Review: Burying Water – K.A. Tucker

Review: Burying Water – K.A. Tucker

Burying Water is filled with angst, with no memory of who she is, Alex ends up living next door to a guy she feels very connected to but she has no idea why. My Burying Water review: Burying water is well written, and because it’s in dual points of views, the readers actually know much more about Alex than she knows herself. Also, it’s written in present tense, so the story really unfolds at the same time the reader is reading it. Jesse is doing his best to keep her distance from her, but he also wants to make sure she’s getting better, and he really wants to be there if and when she recovers her memory. The sense of […]

Review: Croc and the Fox – Eve Langlais

Review: Croc and the Fox – Eve Langlais

Croc and the Fox is filled with humor, some shifter fights, the ongoing mystery of the Mastermind, and lots of hot chemistry! My Croc and the Fox review: As always when I read a Langlais erotica, Croc and the Fox filled me with delight, good laughs, many hot moments and funny characters to follow on their adventures. I had already enjoyed Viktor and his bachelor ways in prior FUC stories, and he didn’t disappoint here. However, he hadn’t counted on actually enjoying Renee and her clinging ways quite as much as he ended up doing. One of the things I enjoyed was that the mystery of the evil Mastermind – a shifter who kidnaps other shifters to experiment on them […]

Review: Magic Burns – Ilona Andrews

Review: Magic Burns – Ilona Andrews

Magic Burns is filled with mystery, mythology, fights and some very hot chemistry between Kate and Curran. And I’m definitely a fan of all of that 🙂 My Magic Burns review: In Magic Burns, Kate grows as a character, while still staying true to herself as well. She realizes just how important pack-business is for the wolves, especially when Jim more or less abandons her at a crime-scene, leaving her both to take care of a dead guy, a magic salamander and a hidden crossbow-shooter. With her usual pragmatic reasoning, Kate does manage all of it, even to bring in the dead guy’s head so she can get her fee from the Mercenary Guild, who had wanted him dead or […]

Review: Like – J.A. Huss

Review: Like – J.A. Huss

In Like, the readers get to know both Grace and Vaughn a little better… but those little crumbs just made me want much, much more! My Like review: Like shows just how far Vaughn is willing to go in order to make sure Grace will play along with him. From filling up her Starbucks card with more money than she earns in a year, to chatting with her on Twitter, and phoning her for some dirty talk and phone sex… It also gave me a new appreciation for both Vaughn and Grace. And while I still don’t exactly like Vaughn yet, I certainly am starting to see the appeal he has had for Grace these past years. Written in one […]

Review: Ugly Love – Colleen Hoover

Review: Ugly Love – Colleen Hoover

Ugly Love is so full of feels! There is love, hope, devastation, loss, hopelessness, distraction… You name it – I felt it! My Ugly Love review: It has taken me several weeks to finally review Ugly Love. That is because even now, I feel like crying when I think about this heart-wrenching story! I cried the biggest ugly tears I have ever cried while reading a book. The story is so well done, especially because it is written in dual points of views, both from Tate’s and Miles’ point of view. However, the chapters written in Miles point of view are a lot shorter, and I didn’t get to know him any better than Tate did. And I thought the […]

Review: Follow – J.A. Huss

Review: Follow – J.A. Huss

Follow is the first installment in Huss’ new serial Social Media. Hot, with a dominant male and a submissive who doesn’t know yet that she is, and a tropical island, it is very different from other contemporary stories I’ve read. My Follow review: Follow is Grace and Vaughn’s story, Grace has been lusting after this movie-star for years, and she even has a twitter group where she uses hashtags and sexual innuendos in 140 characters to show her online friends how she feels about him. When she goes on vacation in St. Thomas with her best friend, she ends up meeting Vaughn for real, and she has no idea what to do when her fantasy and her reality become a […]
