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: Maybe Not – Colleen Hoover

Review: Maybe Not – Colleen Hoover

Maybe Not is a quick read, in which I got to know Warren a lot better, and seeing him and Bridgette in a slightly different light from how they were described from the outside in Maybe Someday. My Maybe Not review: In Maybe Not, we get Warren’s point of view of everything that happens, and while I really enjoyed Warren in Maybe Someday, I found that I enjoyed him a little less when I was basically inside his head. I think he comes from a good place most of the time, but he also overstepped some boundaries that really ought not to be overstepped. Bridgette gained a lot of depth through his eyes, and that was a very nice change. […]

Review: This Night so Dark – Amie Kaufmann and Meagan Spooner

Review: This Night so Dark – Amie Kaufmann and Meagan Spooner

This Night so Dark is the perfect novella to help fans stay patient while waiting for This Shattered World. There is more Tarver, a little Lilac, and a lot of intrigue and mystery. My This Night so Dark review: Showing both a little of what happened with Tarver and Lilac after the ending of These Broken Stars, and also some of the events that lead up to their meeting was good. Seeing the way Tarver had moved up in the military, and the way he treated the soldiers under him, as well as his quick wit and fast assessment of difficult and potentially dangerous situations made me love him even more. And the way his nightmares woke Lilac, and the […]

Review: Coming for You – J.A. Huss

Review: Coming for You – J.A. Huss

Coming for You is pretty epic, both as an ending in the Dirty, Dark, and Deadly series, and because the whole team from Rook and Ronin and the spinoffs show up. My Coming for You review: Where do I even start a review about the awesomeness that is Coming for You? In Come, I really didn’t like James at all! He made me so uneasy, and I thought he was obnoxious and forceful. However, in Come Back, I got to know him better, and especially the way he was with Sasha won me over completely. Let me just tell you that in Coming for You, he totally blew my socks off! The whole story was very eery, mysterious and filled […]

Review: Mortal Heart – Robin LaFevers

Review: Mortal Heart – Robin LaFevers

Mortal Heart rounded up His Fair Assassin series beautifully! With much more mythology, and the big mystery of why Annith was being left behind, I was up half the night because I couldn’t sleep until I had finished reading. My Mortal Heart review: The setting was awesome, the character development of Annith was really good, and I loved learning more about the mythology of Mortain and the other nine my favorite assassin nuns and others worshipped. Annith finally showed her backbone, and she acted according to her own beliefs rather than blindly following the abbess. And let me tell you, the abbess really pissed me off in Mortal Heart – not that I actually liked her in Dark Triumph or […]

Review: Skin Game – Jim Butcher

Review: Skin Game – Jim Butcher

Skin Game is an amazing installment in the Dresden Files series! Harry has several epiphanies thanks to his friends, and there are lots of bad guys to fight, while protecting the innocent. My Skin Game review: Jim Butcher has outdone himself with Skin Game! To read the 15th book in a series and think ‘yes, this one is my favorite!’ is nothing short of amazing. Harry has come a long, long way, and the fact that he’s been all alone on the strange island in Lake Michigan with Demonreach has made him feel a little out of touch both with himself and with his friends. Who can he trust? Who should he stay away from? And how come his head […]

Review: Block – J.A. Huss

Review: Block – J.A. Huss

Block has everything a contemporary romance should have, there’s some mystery, lots of hotness, a character who has a well hidden secret and a movie star who falls in love for the first time. My Block review: Well, so far, for each new book in the Social Media series, Ms. Huss has been able to up the ante and get me more and more involved with the characters. Block brings a lot more to Grace especially. It is so easy to understand both her obsession with Vaughn, and her confusion because he seems to be just as obsessed with her. Also, the things about Vaughn that bothered me a little in Follow are all forgotten now. He has shown me […]

Review: Burying Water – K.A. Tucker

Review: Burying Water – K.A. Tucker

Burying Water is filled with angst, with no memory of who she is, Alex ends up living next door to a guy she feels very connected to but she has no idea why. My Burying Water review: Burying water is well written, and because it’s in dual points of views, the readers actually know much more about Alex than she knows herself. Also, it’s written in present tense, so the story really unfolds at the same time the reader is reading it. Jesse is doing his best to keep her distance from her, but he also wants to make sure she’s getting better, and he really wants to be there if and when she recovers her memory. The sense of […]

Review: Croc and the Fox – Eve Langlais

Review: Croc and the Fox – Eve Langlais

Croc and the Fox is filled with humor, some shifter fights, the ongoing mystery of the Mastermind, and lots of hot chemistry! My Croc and the Fox review: As always when I read a Langlais erotica, Croc and the Fox filled me with delight, good laughs, many hot moments and funny characters to follow on their adventures. I had already enjoyed Viktor and his bachelor ways in prior FUC stories, and he didn’t disappoint here. However, he hadn’t counted on actually enjoying Renee and her clinging ways quite as much as he ended up doing. One of the things I enjoyed was that the mystery of the evil Mastermind – a shifter who kidnaps other shifters to experiment on them […]

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 […]
