Review: Frost Burned (Mercy Thompson #7) – Patricia Briggs

Review: Frost Burned (Mercy Thompson #7) – Patricia Briggs

Frost Burned was keeping some other books company on my kindle for quite a while before I sat down to read about one of  my favorite heroines – coyote Mercy Thompson, married to the alpha of the werewolves. It’s one of the series I like to say I savor, I don’t want to rush through any of the books in the Mercy Thompson series, and I want to be able to read it when I feel ready for some hot weres and strong-willed, kick-ass Mercy! There certainly is a lot of action in Frost Burned, and Mercy hardly has time to breathe, so forget about eating or sleeping completely. Through all the things she was put through, Mercy stayed true […]

Review: Wild Child – Molly O’Keefe

Review: Wild Child – Molly O’Keefe

*I received a free ARC of Wild Child from Bantam via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Wild Child surprised me, because I thought I would only get a quick, light and superficial chick-lit based on the blurb, what I got was a complex story with characters who had to fight their demons in order to move forward in their lives. Jackson and Monica seem to be complete opposites, she is a former reality TV star and he is the mayor of a small town. Monica has been jet-setting, writing tell-all books and appears to be a woman who will never settle. Jackson has raised his younger sister for the past seven years, after their parents died in an […]

Blogtour and Review: Undercover Lover – Jamie K. Schmidt

Blogtour and Review: Undercover Lover – Jamie K. Schmidt

*I received a free ARC of Undercover Lover from IFB Blogtours in exchange of an honest review* Undercover Lover is a nice mix of romance, police-thriller, alternative medicine and Russian mafia. It is filled with humor, a strong and smart heroine, a hot hero and lots of intrigues. I especially loved that Pam is a doctor, she has several diplomas and could have been a famous shrink, but instead she is practicing reiki to help her patients. The way Pam set up her office and centered herself to be ready to share the universe’s energy with her patients is well done, I could almost feel myself relaxing just reading about it. Drake is an undercover cop who does his job […]

Review: Bound by Night (MoonBound Clan Vampire #1) – Larissa Ione

Review: Bound by Night (MoonBound Clan Vampire #1) – Larissa Ione

*I received a free eARC of Bound by Night from Pocket Book via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Bound by Night first got this reaction from me when I finished reading: This. Book.Was. Made. Of. Awesome! That was all I was capable of thinking and feeling and sharing. It has taken me a little while to actually form coherent thoughts, I just fell in love with the characters, the mythology and the completely different take on vampires that were depicted in Bound by Night. The prologue explains how vampires are slaves in this universe, they are snatched by humans and forced to work for them, taking care of mundane tasks as being a nanny, prepare food or care […]

Review: A Perfect Blood (The Hollows #10) – Kim Harrison

Review: A Perfect Blood (The Hollows #10) – Kim Harrison

A Perfect Blood is as close to a perfect story as any I have read in The Hollows series (so far – yes, I need to say so far, because this series keeps getting better and better). The story starts with Rachel being called in to a crime scene – which kind of surprises her, as both the FIB and the IS usually don’t really want her around until the dusters have finished getting all the evidence they possible can. As she arrives, a very disgruntled Trent is leaving – and he tells her to please answer her phone when he calls her. What she sees at the crime scene had me thinking of this painting by Salvador Dali – […]

Review: Lord Rakehell’s Love (The Curse of True Love #1) – Donna Cummings

Review: Lord Rakehell’s Love (The Curse of True Love #1) – Donna Cummings

*I received a free copy of Lord Rakehell’s Love directly from the author in exchange of an honest review* Lord Rakehell’s Love is a quick and humorous novella in the first book of Donna Cummings’ new historical romance series The Curse of True Love. I loved both of the main characters, Simon is the Lord who is more known for being a rake than anything else, but once he loses his heart to Georgina, he doesn’t want anybody else anymore. Georgina, despite her mother’s warnings not to ever wed a rake, can’t help but be swept off her feet, and she has a hard time not loving Simon, even after the disaster on their wedding day. I loved the humorous […]

Review: Pale Demon (The Hollows #9) – Kim Harrison

Review: Pale Demon (The Hollows #9) – Kim Harrison

Pale Demon brings out the best in all the characters I now know and love! In order to save herself, Rachel needs to be at the annual witches conference to try and clear her name. But the witches will do anything they can to make sure she won’t make it in time. At the same time, Trent needs her help for something he won’t really tell her about – he only lets her know he has to be in Seattly before a certain time, and he wants her to ensure his safety while traveling. Because it’s impossible for Rachel to travel by plane, a road-trip becomes the only option – with Jenks, Ivy and Trent driving with her in her […]

Review: Black Magic Sanction (The Hollows #8) – Kim Harrison

Review: Black Magic Sanction (The Hollows #8) – Kim Harrison

Black Magic Sanction is yet another wild ride for Rachel and her friends, and it sure is for the readers as well! It’s impossible not to feel for Rachel in this installment, because so many things happen to her, and she just can’t catch a break. And there are some tough things she needs to come to term with. Both when it comes to herself and the society of witches known as the coven. My review of Black Magic Sanction is pretty much spoiler free, but there are spoilers from prior books, it’s impossible to review the 8th book in a series without talking about some of the things that have happened before, especially in a series that has some […]

Review: Wrong Ways Down (Downside Ghosts #1.5) – Stacia Kane

Review: Wrong Ways Down (Downside Ghosts #1.5) – Stacia Kane

Wrong Ways Down is a novella in the Downside Ghosts series, and it’s all in Terrible’s point of view, third person present tense. It is really great to get some more insight into Terrible’s psyche to see the way he sees himself and the world around him. And if you’re a fan of Stacia Kane’s dark and gritty series, with imperfect main characters, drugs, violence and mystery, Wrong Ways Down is a must-read! To see what Terrible think about Chess, how he sees her as so smart and beautiful, but too far above himself is really heart-warming, and a little heart-wrenching as well. Terrible is a thug, an enforcer, and he’s not afraid to use his fist and size to […]

Review: White Witch Black Curse (The Hollows #7) – Kim Harrison

Review: White Witch Black Curse (The Hollows #7) – Kim Harrison

White Witch Black Curse – the title really does say it all! Rachel is doing all the wrong things for all the right reasons, and I love how she is justifying her actions to herself. I also think that the more she does things she thought she’d never do, the stronger her moral compass gets, and that’s part of the awesomeness that is The Hollows! There also is a new supernatural creature in White Witch Black Curse, and the way she is weaved into the story and the plot of this installment is really good! On top of that, she fits into the overall plot as well, and I realized this because of something that happened in Dead Witch Walking. […]
