Review: Sexy – J. A. Huss

Review: Sexy – J. A. Huss

Sexy is definitely a hot read, with characters who aren’t at all what they seem, and who are doing what they can to keep their secrets just that. My Sexy review: It’s not exactly a surprise for those of you who visit my blog regularly that I’m a huge Huss fan, every time she releases a new book, I’m waiting, impatient, hopping with excitement for what twists and turns she has prepared for her readers next. While Sexy has a very hot and pretty alpha-male main character in Fletcher, he is nothing like the other characters she’s written before. There is no feel of imminent danger surrounding him, rather he seems to have a lot of secrets, and to be […]

Review: Angelfall – Susan Ee

Review: Angelfall – Susan Ee

Angelfall is a dystopian story in which angels aren’t necessarily the good guys, and where Penryn has to use all her wit and cunning to survive. My Angelfall review: This whole story was dark and disturbing – but still delicious if that makes any sense at all. Penryn is a very strong young woman; she has had to be for years before the attack. With her mom conversing with demons and her little sister Paige in a wheel chair, Penryn had to be the responsible party of her family after her dad took off. The angels in this story are so scary and mean it seems like they all hail from hell rather than from heaven – all except Raffe, […]

Review: Hanover House – Brenda Novak

Review: Hanover House – Brenda Novak

Hanover House is really, really creepy! And well written with an amazing main character who has been through hell, and now wants to help figure out what it is that makes a psychopath. Filled with suspense and a little romance, this prequel definitely made me want more! My Hanover House review: From the very start of Hanover House, I was in awe of Evelyn! Instead of hiding and not confronting her fears after she was brutally attacked by her boyfriend when she was only sixteen, she went on to become a psychiatrist to try to find out what exactly it is that makes some people psychopaths. And she wanted to further her research to see if there was any possibility […]

Review: Two Minutes – Dannika Dark

Review: Two Minutes – Dannika Dark

Two Minutes is more dramatic than the prior books in the Seven series, because there are some even more serious parts to the plot this time around. My Two Minutes review: I always enjoyed Maizy in the Seven series, how she interacted with the shape shifters, and how she and Denver became fast friends, despite their age difference. In Two Minutes, Maizy is all grown up, and she’s been away from her home for several years, studying first elsewhere in the US, then in the UK. Once she comes back, Denver is completely taken aback – at first he doesn’t even recognize her, but thinks she is his blind date for the evening. Because it had been several years since […]

Review: Immersed – Katie Hayoz

Review: Immersed – Katie Hayoz

Immersed is a tightly written steam-punk novella with intriguing and compelling characters, as well as mysterious mythology where all I want is to know more! My Immersed review: Both Melusine and Levi are strong characters, who have known of each other for years, being competitors when it comes to killing monsters for quite a while. Immersed is set in Chicago, during the time when buildings were made higher in order to make them stay overground. There are wonderful steel-creatures as well as horrible monsters, and Melusine is far from what could be called a lady at the time. Dressed in leather corsets, and always wearing weapons, she is attuned to the monsters around her in an uncanny way. And just […]

Review: Trouble on Tap – Avery Flynn

Review: Trouble on Tap – Avery Flynn

In Trouble on Tap we finally get to meet the third triplet, and the second chance trope that is prevalent made my heart happy. As with the first two installments in Sweet Salvation Brewery, I buddy-read Trouble on Tap with my friend Brandee @ Bookworm Brandee, and our e-mail exchange is basically my review. We had a lot of fun chatting about this, and it makes us feel like we didn’t live on opposite sides of the world when we read the same book at the same time – and then chat about it afterwards. My Trouble on Tap review / book chat with Brandee: Brandee: I finished this morning. I’ve already had an early morning cry. *sniff* I’m so […]

Review: Wasted Lust – J.A. Huss

Review: Wasted Lust – J.A. Huss

*I received a free ARC of Wasted Lust from the author in exchange of an honest and unbiased review* Wasted Lust is such a complex story about redemption, finding oneself, the meaning of life, love, loyalty, friendship and closure. My feels were all over the place! My Wasted Lust review: What can I say, apart from Huss definitely did it again! She got me engrossed in Sasha’s story from the first sentence, and I was practically on the edge of my seat for the duration of Wasted Lust. Complex characters, most of whom I already knew both from the Rook & Ronin series and its spinoffs and from 321, I was so happy to meet Sasha as a woman, and […]

Review: Bad Ex Karma – Donna Cummings

Review: Bad Ex Karma – Donna Cummings

Bad Ex Karma has Cummings’ trademark humor that I love so much, that, and the female friendships, the love of wine, and the hot male lead all made it a spectacular read! My Bad Ex Karma review: The beginning of Bad Ex Karma was both sad and very emotional, because Bradley actually broke up with Delia at the restaurant where he had taken her to celebrate their five years anniversary! What a douche, right? He had even taken her quite far from home so she couldn’t just stomp out of there and leave him to his own devices. She did manage to buckle up and order the most expensive wine on the menu, though, along with a side of lobster. […]

Review: Faithful – S.A. Wolfe

Review: Faithful – S.A. Wolfe

Funny, hot, romantic and a little melodramatic at times, Faithful was a nice visit back in Hera and all the characters I’ve come to know and love! My Faithful review: In Faithful, Imogene sure showed that her stubborn, sarcastic personality is still going strong! When Cooper starts showing up at the diner, she continues to treat him like he’s the lowest of the low, and he always takes it with a smile and a wink. He’s just as stubborn as she is, even if it seems they want completely opposite things! He wants her, and she wants to be left alone with her shifts at the diner and her new online jewelry business. The characters I had learned to know […]

Review: Samson’s Lovely Mortal – Tina Folsom

Review: Samson’s Lovely Mortal – Tina Folsom

Samson’s Lovely Mortal is a nice mix of UF, paranormal / vampire love story and mystery. I enjoyed Samson and Aumory a lot, Delilah grew on me. My Samson’s Lovely Mortal review: I have had Samson’s Lovely Mortal on my kindle for a very long time, hidden among other gems I got for free when I first started figuring out there were many other genres out there than I was used to reading. While I have now read quite a few paranormal / urban fantasy love stories, in which vampires and humans kind of intermingle, often without the humans knowledge of everything that is ‘other’, this was quite new for me at the time I picked up this story. While […]
