#Audio #Bookreview: Unholy Magic – Stacia Kane

Unholy Magic is even more gripping, gritty and edgy when it’s narrated by Bahni Turpin! Chess and all her emotions are portrayed so well, as are Terrible and the other characters, too. My Unholy Magic audioreview: Unholy Magic was an amazing story for me to read several years ago, and listening to it made it more. More emotions. More connection with the characters. More in-depth story-telling. I was completely engrossed from start to finish. Bahni Turpin is so good at doing the different voices, accents… it’s easy to know who is talking with her narration. I was also even more amazed with Chess while listening to Unholy Magic. She is so strong and capable, but at the same time, so […]

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: 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: 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: Archangel’s Shadows – Nalini Singh

Review: Archangel’s Shadows – Nalini Singh

Archangel’s Shadows is a very good instalment in the Guild Hunter series, I really enjoyed that while the main focus was on Ash and Janvier, other characters were involved and got quite a bit of ‘screen-time’ as well. My Archangel’s Shadows review: I’m not sure who I loved the most in Archangel’s Shadows, Ash or Janvier. Ash is a strong woman, a hunter who knows how to fight, how to be cunning, and how to keep a sexy vampire at arm’s length. Janvier with his sexy Cajun French, his strong feelings for Ash and all his skills isn’t half bad, either. And because Ash is adamant to not fall for Janvier – even though she may have already fallen – […]

Review: Night Broken – Patricia Briggs

Review: Night Broken – Patricia Briggs

Night Broken is fast-paced and filled with action, fights and romance, on top of that, there’s a little drama because Adam’s ex comes to stay with them – for once seeking help and comfort from the pack. My Night Broken review: Night Broken was pretty intense, and there was a new creature introduced in the Mercy Thompson universe here. I have to admit I was rolling my eyes at Adam’s ex acting all innocent and needy, and even more so because of all she had made the pack go through when she had decided living with shifters wasn’t for her, then left both Adam and her daughter behind. Once danger came knocking on Christy’s door, though, she definitely didn’t have […]

Review: Three Hours – Dannika Dark

Review: Three Hours – Dannika Dark

Three Hours has become my new favorite Dannika Dark story! Very well done, great balance between fights, intrigue and romance, and the characters really showed me what they were made of! Ever since the Seven series started, I have been curious about both Naya and Wheeler, and having them be the main characters in Three Hours was a real treat! Both are strong-minded, loyal to a fault and takes not bullshit from anybody else. Wheeler has always been quite mysterious, he never cared how others judged him based on his grumpy disposition and numerous tattoos. Even when his own pack and brothers would rather choose Ben over him, he let it slide, even if id didn’t sit well with him. […]

Review: Dead Heat – Patricia Briggs

Review: Dead Heat – Patricia Briggs

Dead Heat showed a different side to Charles that was very welcome, seeing how he interacted with a human friend who had grown old and was dying made Charles seem more human as well. My Dead Heat review: I really enjoyed this other side to Charles, it made it easier to see exactly what Anna has seen in him from the very beginning as well. Dead Heat had quite a bit of excitement, but the pacing was still pretty slow, because the moments between Charles and Joseph kind of had to be – reminiscing of the past, and having known Joseph in all the different stages of his life made the story a little melancholy as well. And it certainly […]

Review: Archangel’s Legion – Nalini Singh

Review: Archangel’s Legion – Nalini Singh

In Archangel’s Legion, the love between Raphael and Elena became an epiphany! I knew there was love with them, but here, that love was just so strong and beautiful it made the story epic in a very different way. My Archangel’s Legion review: Between the undeniable love and respect between Elena and Raphael, and all the troubles bestowed upon them, Archangel’s Legion was a thrilling read from start to finish. Thrilling both because of the incredible chemistry between the main characters, and because of the fights they had to engage in on many different levels. The story is fast paced, and all my favorite characters from the Guild Hunter series – both those I love and those I love to […]

Review: Biting Bad – Chloe Neill

Review: Biting Bad – Chloe Neill

Biting Bad is not lacking in humor, nor excitement or even romance, however, I’m still having a little trouble with trust when it comes to Chicagoland… My Biting Bad review: One of the things I really enjoyed in Biting Bad is that Merit and Ethan’s relationship finally seemed a little more balanced, and Ethan was less heavy-handed than usual. I also had fun with the riots investigations, even if the culprit didn’t surprise me in the least. Full of feelings of both love and fear, the story moved along at a nice pace, and the overall plot was well done. I really hope my enjoyment for the Chicagoland series will build back up, but it’s really difficult for me to […]
