When I first finished this book, my brain was jelly. It squashed my brain function, leaving me staring at the ceiling! I’ve been dying to read this one and I received it in the mail a week ago, but I had other books lined up that I needed to get done first. You know when you read a book and you’re so hyped about the next one, then you get it and suddenly you’re afraid to read it because you […]

What an interesting take on vampires! This one certainly was not what I was expecting. It was different from any other vamp story I’ve ever read. Which is refreshing, because frankly I’m getting a little sick of vampires. It was strange at some points, but the originality earned some major brownie points for me. The reviews on Goodreads definitely showed a love vs. hate with this book (as in, no in between), so I was kinda skeptical going in. But […]

The Community Link is peace. We are humanity sublime because we live in Community and favor above all else order, logic, and peace. Community first, Community always. I had a lot of mixed feelings about this book. The premise was awesome, but I felt the delivery was a bit lacking in parts, particularly with the world building. So, as per usual with me, let’s get the bad out of the way, then move to the good. Things I didn’t like: […]

“This place isn’t beautiful. It’s two-faced and treacherous, and so is everything here.” Aside from the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning and Iron Fey by Julie Kagawa, this is one of the top books I’ve read about fae! I didn’t love it necessarily, but I really really liked it! And to be honest, I didn’t expect to enjoy it half as much as I actually did. I’m kinda picky about faerie stories, and let’s face it, there’s a lot of […]

“You really do suffer from insanity, don’t you?” “Hardly. I have to say I enjoy every minute of it.” I think this one has been my favorite of the series so far! I loved Zarek already from reading the last book and was really looking forward to reading his POV. Kenyon did not disappoint! Zarek had been through so much crap in his life it was a miracle he even survived. It was easy to connect with him with all […]

I was a bit disappointed with this one, as I had pretty high hopes. I loved the movie Titanic and love werewolf stories, so I was eagerly anticipating a book that mixed the two together. I couldn’t connect with the characters at all, which dragged the book down for me. But my main problem? The romance. I understand that it’s on a ship and time is limited, so things have to move fairly fast, but there’s a difference between fast-moving romance […]
