Review: Six Months – Dannika Dark

Review: Six Months – Dannika Dark

Six Months follows April and Reno, and with all of April’s problems, I kept wishing she would do the smart thing and tell her close friends what was going on with her. My Six Months review: Six Months definitely had big shoes to fill, because I have truly loved all of Ms. Dark’s other stories, and Seven Years was actually one of my favourite books of 2013. If you say gritty UF / Paranormal romance, I will say ‘yes please, pretty please, with sugar on top!’ And I really enjoy the shifters and the whole universe that is part of both the Seven series and the Mageri series. Alexis was present in Six Months as well, and her character development […]

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: Taste of Darkness – Katie Reus

Review: Taste of Darkness – Katie Reus

A sexy dragon-shifter, a beautiful were-wolf, intrigue, war and betrayals, Taste of Darkness have all of that and a lot of slow romance as well. My Taste of Darkness review: Right back into the action, Taste of Darkness brought me back to a universe that is well made, with really good characters and a wolf-pack that is very different from the norm – what with the alpha married to a vampire, and the fact that they were willing and able to also help take care of a dragon shifter who had escaped from hell. Drake is confused by the world, after being brought to hell when he was only twelve, he spent the next fifteen-hundred years there. Mostly alone and […]

Review: Dark Skye – Kresley Cole

Review: Dark Skye – Kresley Cole

*I received a free ARC of Dark Skye from Gallery Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* WOW Dark Skye is an awesome installment in the Immortals After Dark series! And can I just say character growth? My Dark Skye review: Thronos and Leanthe have such a complicated relationship it’s a wonder they actually even talked to each other at all. Dark Skye seemingly threw them together at a very inopportune time, but of course, soothsayer Nyx had something to do with that, and she showed up more than once to my utter enchantment. Thronos having searched for Leanthe for centuries made me really feel for him, even if he also acted like an ass for a long […]

Review: Hunter by Night – Elisabeth Staab

Review: Hunter by Night – Elisabeth Staab

*I received a free ARC of Hunter by Night from Sourcebooks Casablanca via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Hunter by Night is a pretty typical vampire story, in which the relationship between a human girl and a tough vampire warrior is the main subject. My Hunter by Night review: I think the fact that Hunter by Night is not all that different from a lot of other paranormal romances made me not completely into it, as I thought I would be. Lee is several hundred years old, and for most of those years, he has hated humans because of what they did to his family way back when. Alexia is staying with the vampires only because her best […]

Review: Temptation in Shadows – Gena Showalter

Review: Tamed (Dark Protectors #6.5) – Rebecca Zanetti

Review: Tamed (Dark Protectors #6.5) – Rebecca Zanetti

*I received a free ARC of Tamed from Kensington Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Even if Tamed is book 6.5 in the Dark Protectors series, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. The characters made me want to get to know them a lot better, the whole world is extremely interesting, and I really want to know  much more about everything! There are prophets, demons, vampires, shifters and in Tamed the main character is a very strong, female prophet. Lily really intrigued me, and the way she seemed so quiet and ladylike one moment, but was able to fight to the death the next made me love her. Caleb is another great character in Tamed, and I […]

Review: Few Are Chosen – Storm Grant

Review: Few Are Chosen – Storm Grant

*I received a free copy of Few Are Chosen from the author in exchange of an honest review* Few are Chosen is a sweet paranormal young adult story where two boys meet and fall in love under pretty strange circumstances. There are demons, fights, and a creepy cemetery. As many other teenagers before them, both Blake and Shadow think they know better than the adults, and they are pretty sure they can fight their fights on their own. It was a little funny to see how differently they have been raised, even if they’re both basically demon-hunters. Blake thinks he is The Chosen, whereas Shadow has always known that he’s the chosen one from his coven. When they fight a […]

Review: The King (Black Dagger Brotherhood #12) – J.R. Ward

Review: The King (Black Dagger Brotherhood #12) – J.R. Ward

I have been anticipating The King ever since I knew there was going to be a second book about Wrath, son of Wrath. I fell in love with these urban vampires with the first book in the series, and I have loved more or less every single installment so far. The King however was a little disappointing to me. There were too many side-stories, and although I was interested in Marisol and Assail, they took far too much time away from Wrath and the brotherhood in my opinion. And also, what the hey was up with all the Miley bashing? At least three times, there was a mention of Miley, and truly bashing her, and that just wasn’t necessary at […]
