Review: Born of Fury (The League #7) – Sherrilyn Kenyon

Review: Born of Fury (The League #7) – Sherrilyn Kenyon

Born of Fury totally lived up to my expectations after reading the other The League stories! These crazy alien assassins and their mates truly made the story excellent! My Born of Fury review: Born of Fury is quite the brick of a book, but what a beautiful brick it is! I love the characters in The League series, they are aliens, living in a far-away galaxy, in a far-away future. And the male main characters are all warriors, fighting against a corrupt government organization of professional killer. However, they also have their families and loved ones to take care of, and they see their brothers-in-arms as true family as well. Hauk has always been treated as a lesser male by […]

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: Dirty Wings – Sarah McCarry

Review: Dirty Wings – Sarah McCarry

*I received a free ARC of Dirty Wings from St. Martin’s Press / St. Martin’s Griffin via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Dirty Wings is one of the strangest stories I have read in a very long time! No real plot, no real explanation, but a wonderful friendship between two girls who seemingly have nothing in common. My Dirty Wings review: Dirty Wings is kind of a non-story in some ways. Let me explain what I mean: we meet Maia who is a prodigy piano player, she is playing, then chatting with her teacher Oscar after finishing her lesson. Her whole life is centered around the piano, and her life goal (or at least her parents’ life goal […]

Review: Close to You (Downside Ghosts #5.5) – Stacia Kane

Review: Close to You (Downside Ghosts #5.5) – Stacia Kane

*I received a free ARC of Close to You from St. Martin’s Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Close to You is a short story, filled with both action and romance, and of course, I got my long-awaited Chess and Terrible fix! I am always happy when I get to spend a little time with my favorite UF couple. There is always so much happening around those two! And even in this very short story, a lot of things happen that they have to deal with very quickly. The Downside speak in Close to You is just as well done as it is in all of the books in this series, and I can always both ‘see’ […]

Review: Why Dukes Say I Do (Wicked Widows #1) – Manda Collins

Review: Why Dukes Say I Do (Wicked Widows #1) – Manda Collins

*I received a free eARC of Why Dukes Say I do from St. Martin’s Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Why Dukes Say I Do is exactly my kind of historical romance. Isabella is a strong-minded widow, but she can still be blackmailed by the dowager who is also her Godmother. Trevor is a reluctant Duke who has never met his own grand-mother because her late husband left his father penniless for marrying for love. When Isabella is sent to Yorkshire to convince him to come to London and embrace his new role, Trevor wants to bargain with her to make sure he won’t have to leave his beloved country home. On top of getting to know […]

Time Untime (Dark Hunter #22) – Sherrilyn Kenyon

Time Untime (Dark Hunter #22) – Sherrilyn Kenyon

Time Untime – book 22 in one of my favorite series was quite different from the rest of the books in some ways, and very similar in others. The biggest difference for me was that I didn’t really love Ren all that much 🙁 I get that his extremely long life has been difficult, and that he has never known love, but the self-loathing was really hard to read about, and made it less enjoyable to read than I would have liked.  I totally loved Kateri, though, and both Ash and Nick showed up to save the day, and I love both of them as well, so there were lots of things to like in this instalment, even if there […]

Glimmerglass (Faeriwalker #1) – Jenna Black

Glimmerglass (Faeriwalker #1) – Jenna Black

Glimmerglass is a really good introduction to a series. I really like Dana, she is young, but she is still strong and can take care of herself. I enjoyed both Kimber and Ethan as well, and I am quite sure Keane will turn out to be a good ally to have later too. Of course it is easy to see that Dana is 16 years old, although she can be quite mature in some situations, she very much acts her age in other. She is used to having to deal with a lot of things herself, and meeting Kimber who hasn’t had a lot of friends either is great for both of them. I look forward to reading more about […]
