Romancing the Stone with immortal beings

December 31, 2016 by teresaelectro 1 Comment

After a brief respite, I dove back into the Immortals After Dark series with No Rest for the Wicked. Much to my surprise, it had a very realistic (as it could be) romance between the paired supernaturals. Sebastian Wroth has retreated from the world to a dusty Russian castle so disgusted with his vampire existence. He was forcibly turned by his brothers and never forgiven them for it – or himself. He hides in a cave and hungers for death. However, fate issn’t done with him and brings […]

Werewolves are a tad possessive

December 30, 2016 by teresaelectro 3 Comments

I enjoyed reading Mrs. Julien’s hilarious Kresley Cole book reviews during previous cannonball reads. I read Shadows Claim last year when it was a Vaginal Fantasy pick, but didn’t really get fully hooked. So when I was in The Ripped Bodice, I decided to tackle one of the first books in the series for my trip to Greece. A Hunger Like No Other follows Lachlain, a lykae (werewolf) Scottish warrior on a journey of love and revenge. The male kind of his species mate for life when first meeting said […]

“Chicks dig a man of mystery. And werewolves. Chicks really dig werewolves”

December 30, 2016 by Malin 1 Comment

4.5 stars Spoiler warning! This is the third book in The Innkeeper Chronicles and as such, this review may contain spoilers for previous books in the series. It’s also a series that is best read in order, so if you are unfamiliar with the books, go start at the beginning, with Clean Sweep. While Dina Demille may seem like a fairly ordinary young human woman, she is in fact an Innkeeper, and within the bounds of her inn, she is almost unbelievably powerful. Her broom […]

The one where Rachel goes on an ill-advised banshee hunt

December 30, 2016 by teresaelectro 2 Comments

It has taken me three years to circle back to the first book from The Hollows series I found at the library. I unwittingly checked out and read a page from White Witch, Black Curse before realizing it was the seventh in the series! The completist that I am returned it. I finally started with book one in 2014. I’m probably the only one spacing out this series over so many years. 😉 ****Major spoilers for previous books in the series to follow**** Rachel Morgan has been through the […]

Thunderbird shifter hero<Dragon shifter hero

December 22, 2016 by Malin Leave a Comment

2.5 stars I read this TWO months ago, and need to get through this ever-increasing review backlog, hence resorting to the blurb once more: During the rule of her murderous Dark Fae uncle, Thistle “Tricks” Periwinkle found sanctary among the Wyr in New York. Her ethereal beauty and sparkling personality won the hearts of the public, but after her uncle’s death, there are those who don’t want to see her ascend to the throne. Able to wield thunder and lightning, Wyr sentinel Thiago Black Eagle […]
