Review: Meet Me in the Dark – J.A. Huss

Review: Meet Me in the Dark – J.A. Huss

Dark is only the beginning when it comes to Meet me in the Dark! Merc is even more twisted that I thought he was, and Sydney is so confused, broken and out of it she amazed me when she was able to show me she truly did have a backbone after all. My Meet Me in the Dark review: Book hangover V2.0 is what Meet Me in the Dark has given me! There are just so many things happening, and the twists and turns and psychological war Merc has going with Sydney is so above anything I’ve ever read I’m still reeling. And my feels, my poor, poor feels! From disgust to happiness, fear to elation, hope to desolation – […]

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: Seven Sons – Lili St. Germain

Review: Seven Sons – Lili St. Germain

Seven Sons is definitely very dark, but the fact that Julz / Sammie is such a kick-ass heroine, one who will do whatever it takes to get her revenge made it a great story anyway. My Seven Sons review: They say revenge should be something deliciously cold (in French, the saying is: La vengeance est un plat qui se mange froid) however, Seven Sons showed me that revenge can definitely be hot, too. Sammie’s hatred is what has gotten her through life for the past few years, planning on how to kill the man who killed her father, after making him suffer as she picked off his sons… The ones who destroyed her life, and made her think there is […]

Review: Dirty London – Kelley York

Review: Dirty London – Kelley York

Dirty London is a different kind of coming of age story, because London needs to find herself again, deal with those who might not accept her, and fight to get her confidence back. My Dirty London review: I can’t even tell you how much I loved Dirty London! It is well written, and London is a great character to follow through her journey to accept herself, to find herself and to make sure her last year of high-school won’t be wasted trying to never be noticed. Written in first person present tense, with some added information through London’s blog posts that she uses as her diary, I felt like I got to know her very well, and I couldn’t help […]

Review: Dating a Cougar – Donna McDonald

Review: Dating a Cougar – Donna McDonald

My Dating a Cougar review: Dating a Cougar is a quick read filled with both romance and some unlikely things. MacDonald is very good at describing a mature woman’s wants and needs. I had a problem with this book though, and that was that as much as I really liked Alexa, I didn’t like Casey! He was acting very selfishly and did not take ‘no’ for an answer. I always get uncomfortable when a woman says ‘no’ and the man does not respect her answer. Even if Alexa was turned on by Casey, I think he should have listened to her and let her decide when their relationship should be taken to the next level. He also confused me because […]

Review: Three, Two, One – J.A. Huss

Review: Three, Two, One – J.A. Huss

Three, Two, One has to be one of the most twisted, hot and complex stories I have ever read! Huss completely outdid herself – again! My Three, Two, One review: When I was selected to receive an ARC of Three, Two, One I actually did a happy-dance, and when the book arrived on my kindle on Saturday morning, I twirled – with my kindle in my hands like a baby. Twisted doesn’t even begin to describe the relationships, the storyline, the characters and the plot in this masterpiece. And a masterpiece, it is. Very dark, uncomfortable at times, extremely hot other times, and with a relationship that is anything but conventional. The suspense is well done, and the story is […]

Review: In Too Deep – Kathryn Shay

Review: In Too Deep – Kathryn Shay

In Too Deep is short and to the point, with romance, hotness, firefighters and a good enough story. My In Too Deep review: If you are able to keep up with the suspension of disbelief, In Too Deep might work even better for you than it did for me. The story is quite good, and the characters are definitely enchanting enough, there is also an outside plot, which sadly wasn’t fully developed. Rachel and Gabe have been in love with each other for a while, but they have been keeping their distance for several reasons. First of all he’s the boss, and as firefighters, they need to be able to keep their heads cool in all the dangerous situations they get […]

Review: NightDrake – Lara Adrian

Review: NightDrake – Lara Adrian

NightDrake is a short, but intense story, in which Nisha finds herself. My NightDrake review: For such a short story, NightDrake certainly didn’t lack in intensity, however it did lack in character development and world-building. This is to be expected, though, but I did find myself rolling my eyes when Drakor and Nisha professed their love for each other as soon as a couple of hours after meeting. Nisha was a mercenary, and her nick-name was The Heartless, however, as soon as she realized there was a living being inside the crate she was transporting, she went out of her way to help the monster inside, even if she was a self-professed hater of The Strange. From the little I […]

Review: Embracing the Wolf – Felicity Heaton

Review: Embracing the Wolf – Felicity Heaton

Embracing the Wolf is a stand-alone novella, and I quite enjoyed reading about Kat and Amon. My Embracing the Wolf review: Embracing the Wolf is a short story, and while I usually gripe about novellas being too short for my enjoyment, I am actually going to say the opposite this time… There were quite a few repetitions in this one, and it could have been shorter and still gotten the full story across. Confusing, no? Kat is working for a werewolf disposal agency, and none of her colleagues know that she is a werewolf herself – and she only discovered this herself a few years ago when she fell in love with Amon, the alpha-wolf of a pack in the […]

Review: Never Never – Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher

Review: Never Never – Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher

A different kind of paranormal story, Never Never has both of the MCs being amnesic at the beginning, and as they slowly unravel their pasts, things get complicated. My Never Never review: Charlie and Silas share a common story, but they aren’t really aware of it in Never Never. From the start of the story, the confusion and the memory lapse are at the forefront, and I really enjoyed the fact that Charlie and Silas each had their own chapters – it helped getting to know them, even if they didn’t really know themselves. Mysterious and poignant, the story felt like a reboot, in a way. Where the characters sat down and thought carefully about their past and future choices; […]
