Review: Intuition and Indebted by Amy Bartol Evie has come to accept that she loves Reed though Russell is her soulmate- Russell is not as accepting. But when push comes to shove again, Evie does everything she can think of to save her friends, including running away with Russell. Unfortunately she is not ready for the world when a group of undead fairies take her and plan to make her into their queen. Russell added another depth to the story. We get to see things from Russell’s point of view. I liked this and he was always my favorite character in the first book. I like him as a character and loved...
Review: Snow, Blood, and Envy by Jean Haus Nivi is getting a new mom- unfortunately she is much older than she looks. Soon Nivi finds she is drawn into a world where her new mom covets her and is trying to kill her, yet no one will believe her. Nivi is on the run with a handsome and caring prince charming, but he might not be enough to stop everything even if he does believe her. This was a fun modern setting- the author does a great job integrating everything into a very modern day NY without making it seem excessively fantasy to do so. This was more an urban fantasy retelling of the story- which was...
Review: Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs Medusa was not all the books said she was. She was a warrior and keeper of the gate that allows demons into the real world. Unfortunately, due to jealousy, her reputation was ruined and she was killed. Now her descendants are left to live in her place and fight the bad guys. Too bad only Gretchen knows what her fate is. Grace has just moved to San Francisco and into a unexpected life. This was a bit of mythology thrown into the paranormal setting. It was a fun read. The overall plot of the story was a fun read. It took me about 1/4 of the book to get into it,...
Review: Alternity by Mari Mancusi Is she Skye or is she Mariah? Skye finds herself waking up in a weird underground city only to have no recollections of it. It turns out that everyone else remembers her, but she doesn’t remember this odd world or that she is part of the revolutionaries trying to overthrow it- or is she really? I liked that the main character’s identity didn’t change- she stayed true throughout holding onto that she did not have amnesia. I found it odd that she did not cave in, but by the end you know why. While Skye does win in the end, she does so without killing...
Review: Kindred by JA Redmerski Adria’s life it about to change one way or another. Soon the wolves are not her only problem as she finds a Praverian is attached to her. What does this ancient race of people want with her? Will she live long enough to find out? Adria makes mistakes often and is strong willed, but she is rational when she finally calms down and admits that there wasn’t much Isaac could have done. She didn’t let it destroy her even though she was mad and she was even able to think of a solution. Yes, I would recommend this book. It was an enjoyable read and I will read...
