Illium and Aodhan. Aodhan and Illium. For centuries they’ve been inseparable: the best of friends, closer than brothers, companions of the heart. But that was before—before darkness befell Aodhan and shattered him, body, mind, and soul. Now, at long last, Aodhan is healing, but his new-found strength and independence may come at a devastating cost—his relationship with Illium.<br /><br />
As they serve side by side in China, a territory yet marked by the evil of its former archangel, the secret it holds nightmarish beyond imagining, things come to an explosive decision point. Illium and Aodhan must either walk away from the relationship that has defined them—or step forward into a future that promises a bond infinitely precious in the life of an immortal…but that demands a terrifying vulnerability from two badly bruised hearts.
</blockquote></i><br />
<br />ARCHANGEL’S LIGHT was an incredibly anticipated read for me due to my love of Bluebell and Sparkle, but not one I went into without a bit of trepidation as M/M is a departure from my preferred genre choice. However, as I absolutely adore these two characters and their bond, so I figured their story would be the perfect foray into a new style of romance. Ultimately though, a romance isn’t really what I got from this. Perhaps it could be called a slow burn, but that is almost an overstatement. It’s more a very establish friendship going through some rough growing pains, with misunderstandings and stubbornness thrown in. It’s not until the very end that any true romance starts to form, and then the story abruptly ends. Don't get me wrong, there are so many enjoyable moments in this book. I particularly loved all of the scenes from their past. I'm just anxious for more in the present. *g*</div><div><br />In many ways, this felt like part one in Sparkle and Bluebell’s story. Hopefully that is the case, because the romance side felt lackluster and unfinished if not. Time will tell, but it’s hard for me to ultimately decide on my feelings on this book without that answer. I, like many fans I’m sure, will be crossing our fingers for more books featuring this pair. There's just so much potential there, and I'm going to base my rating on there still being an opening for more.</div><div><br /></div><div>

The Siberian tiger shifter just can’t bear to see his fellow shifters harmed. But no way can Finn have a houseful of honey badgers when he also has two brothers with no patience. Things just go from bad to worse when the badgers rudely ejected from his home turn out to be the only ones who can help him solve a family tragedy. He’s just not sure he can even get back into the badgers’ good graces. Since badgers lack graces of any kind . . .</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Mads knows her teammates aren’t about to forgive the cats that were so rude to them, but moody Finn isn’t so bad. And he’s cute! The badger part of her understands Finn’s burning need to avenge his father’s death—after all, vengeance is her favorite pastime. So Mads sets about helping Finn settle his family’s score, which has its perks, since she gets to avoid her own family drama. Besides, fighting side by side with Finn is her kind of fun—especially when she can get in a hot and heavy snuggle with her very own growling, eye-rolling, and utterly irresistible kitty-cat...</i></div></blockquote><div><i></i></div><div><br /></div><div>I absolutely love this series! The books are over the top, zany, hilariously fun. The outlandish events are rather implausible for the sheer absurdity, and yet it more than works. I can't say just how many times I burst out loud laughing audibly to the point where my family looked at me like I was nuts. They are just that funny, and the absolute perfect pick-me-up for anyone in need of a good laugh. You could be having a terrible week, and these books will be the perfect cure. There's just something so heartwarming about this insanely dysfunction but utterly close knit rag tag group and all the hijinks they get involved with.</div><div><br /></div><div>This time around featured Mads, one of the badgers on the basketball team. I really enjoyed getting a deeper look into the players and the dynamic of the team, especially Mads. She's just as "feral" as Max, and I loved it. Seeing the lions dance around her was nothing short of hilarious, and I really enjoyed the romance overall. </div><div><br /></div><div>If you're looking for a laugh out loud escape, look no further than BREAKING BADGER and the entire Honey Badger Chronicles series. Trust me, you'll want to grab this one!</div>

Perks included travelling to exotic locations and meeting interesting people, even if they are the blood-sucking kind.

It starts with a plane crash, severely injuring several vampires with the only blood source being the hero lent to an almost frenetic high stakes pacing, and I loved every minute of it. Even once the initial crisis was over, things were still pretty high stakes, only upping the entertainment factor. </div><div><br /></div><div>I really enjoyed the romance this time around. After 33 books, one would think it would be hard to keep things fresh, but the author surely did in this book. Our hero, Jet, while human, is a fantastic alpha male who knows what he wants, and isn't intimidated by being any weaker etc. He takes charge and lets Quinn know what he wants and needs, even while she is an utter hot mess to put it bluntly. Quinn has issues, lots and lots of issues that she needs to work through. There were times I felt she wasn't really being fair to Jet, but I really enjoyed the progression as she worked through things and tried to be the best she could be. It was a refreshing change of pace to not see the hero trying to prove he's worthy, but the heroine doing so instead. </div><div><br /></div><div>All in all, MILE HIGH WITH A VAMPIRE is a fast paced, and enjoyable installment in the Argeneau series that will be sure to please fans of the series.</div>

<br /><br />
Termed merciless by some, and a robotic sociopath by others, Payal Rao is the perfect Psy: cardinal telekinetic, CEO of a major conglomerate, beautiful—and emotionless.
<br /><br />
For Canto Mercant, family and loyalty are everything. A cardinal telepath deemed "imperfect" by his race due to a spinal injury, Canto cares for the opinions of very few—and ruthlessly protects those he claims as his own. Head of intel of the influential Mercant family, he prefers to remain a shadow in the Net, unknown and unseen. But Canto is also an Anchor, part of a secretive designation whose task it is to stabilize the PsyNet. Now that critical psychic network is dying, threatening to collapse and kill the entire Psy race with it.
<br /><br />
To save those he loves, Canto needs the help of a woman bound to him by a dark past neither has been able to forget. A woman who is the most powerful Anchor of them all: Payal Rao. Neither is ready for the violent inferno about to ignite in the PsyNet…or the passionate madness that threatens to destroy them both.</i></blockquote>
<div><br /></div><div>I really enjoyed the deeper look into the Anchor designation. Prior to LAST GUARD, they were much of a mystery, and it was really nice to see the curtain pulled back a bit. With each new book in this series, the world only expands further, and I love every moment. I also really enjoyed that this book featured a Mercant, expanding on that family dynamic as well. There's nothing better than a tight knit, but cutthroat family, and the Mercants truly fit that bill.</div><div><br /></div><div>In regards to the romance, the characters individually were fantastic, and they were easy to care about. Both of them stood out in their own right, and their uniqueness really added to the story. However, the two of them paired together just didn't have quite that spark of previous couples. I can't quite put my finger on why, but the two of them together just didn't quite wow like others. Luckily this series is so more than just the romance, so it didn't really detract, just worth a mention.</div><div><br /></div><div>All in all, LAST GUARD is another enjoyable installment in the Psy-Changling world that is sure to please fans of the series.</div><div>

But after her boss is found dead (having betrayed the paranormals he was sworn to protect), she’s suddenly thrust into a leadership role she isn’t prepared for. And it doesn’t help that she traded away memories of one of her most important team members to save another’s life during her last mission.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Too, she’s in charge of a unit that is mired in bureaucratic red tape, meaning she’s essentially under house arrest. But a West Coast Para-Marshal has astral-projected a warning: werewolves are going missing, and she needs Shiloh’s help. Last time it was vampires. This time it’s werewolves. Half-djinn herself, she knows she can’t just sit around and do nothing while paranormals are getting snatched. Her old boss may have broken his oath, but Shiloh will do anything to serve and protect.</i> </div></blockquote><div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>STRAY MOON has all of the great parts of an enjoyable urban fantasy. There's great world building, an interesting cast of characters, and the heroine is tough as nails to boot, and completely likeable. The plotline kept me guessing from the start, and there's plenty of danger and action. It was very easy to get invested with the character's plight, all making for the perfect recipe for the genre.</div><div><br /></div><div>As enjoyable of an urban fantasy STRAY MOON is, it unfortunately suffers from one major flaw. Shiloh lost her memories of the person she loved most in the world at the end of the last book. Jaxon was that person, which came as a surprise at the end of the prior book. So in this book, she's struggling with everyone knowing Jaxon and telling her they had a relationship, he's an important of the team, etc, etc. I get that struggle, don't get me wrong, but the extent it was dwelled upon and issues it caused became extremely redundant. So much so that I found myself saying multiple times, enough already!, out loud. Unfortunately this had me continually putting the book down, and it became a struggle to finish at times. It's a shame because otherwise, there's so much potential here otherwise. I just didn't care for feeling like I was hit upside the head over and over with a two by four to get that she doesn't trust him due to her memory loss.</div>
<div><br /></div><div>All in all, repetitiveness aside, STRAY MOON was an enjoyable installment in the Stray series, and I'm looking forward to seeing where things lead next.</div><br />

No matter where Rachel goes, Constance is there--threatening Rachel's allies, causing city-wide chaos, and, to add insult to injury, even forcing Rachel out of her current quarters. Ever since Rachel found a way to save the souls of vampires, the old undead's longtime ascendancy has been broken. Now Constance sees eliminating Rachel as the key to consolidating her own power.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Rachel has no desire to be enthralled or killed--and she's terrified of what may become of the city if Constance forces a return to the ancient ways. But even a witch-born demon can't stand against the old undead--at least, not alone. And if Rachel refuses to claim the role of Cincinnati's master demon, the city will tear itself apart, taking her and all those who stand beside her with it.</i></div></blockquote><div></div><div><br /></div><div>If American Demon was the appetizer foray back into the Hollows, then MILLION DOLLAR DEMON was the full entrée and then some. Rachel, Jenks, Trent, and company are fully back and here to stay, and I couldn't be happier. I can't express how much I enjoyed this book. While Rachel has mostly grown and found/accepted herself, there's still a bit of hesitancy on her part whenever it comes to accepting a role of power. The new master vampire, Constance, is bonkers and insanely brutal, and as a result, the community is pressing hard on Rachel to step up. Of course stepping up has never been a problem for her, but it's to the level needed that has her on edge. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this new journey and new role for Rachel. </div><div><br /></div><div>Another great thing about the Hollows is the large cast of characters and the relationships, family, platonic, romantic or otherwise. Rachel and Trent are as happy as ever, even if the Elven Dewar and Ellsbeth try and throw wrenches into things. And Jenks... as always, the bond between him and Rachel is by far my favorite, and it warms my heart to see it continue. However, one relationship hasn't been quite what it once was, Al and Rachel. I'm so hopeful that starts to turn around quickly, but it's more than a little sad at the moment to see them at such odds. Regardless of the current status, it's these relationships and all the so many others that make this series so incredible.</div><div><br /></div><div>All in all, MILLION DOLLAR DEMON was an utterly fantastic read that I couldn't put down. Fans of the series will be more than pleased with this installment and clamoring for more!</div>

Well, if you're Rachel Mariana Morgan, witch-born demon, you quickly discover that something might have gone just a little bit wrong. That the very same acts you and your friends took to forge new powers may have released something bound by the old. With a rash of zombies, some strange new murders, and an exceedingly mysterious new demon in town, it will take everything Rachel has to counter this new threat to the world--and it may demand the sacrifice of what she holds most dear.</i></blockquote><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>When I first picked up AMERICAN DEMON, I had assumed it would pick up after the epilogue of The Witch With No Name, but it actually picks up a short time after the actual ending events of that book. I'll admit that for the first few chapters of this book I was rather confused as it just didn't mesh with the epic HEA from that original epilogue. And then, I realized I didn't care, as regardless of the timeline, there's more Rachel books, which means a YAY from me. </div><div><div><br /></div><div>Things are anything but rosy for Rachel and company as despite all she did to save the world, politics and complications derail pretty much everything. And frankly, that makes for the BEST kinds of books. While the poor characters are going through chaos and turmoil, it keeps the reader sucked in, and Kim Harrison is a master at her craft in this aspect. She's not afraid to take big risks, and this book was no exception. The church gang is "breaking up" with Ivy gravitating more towards Nina, the demons are living in plain sight, Trent's leadership is being challenged, all while him and Rachel try and foster their budding relationship, and oh so much more. This book is jammed packed and I loved every single moment of it.</div><div><br /></div><div>All in all, AMERICAN DEMON is another smash hit in this amazing series, and I can't wait to see what happens next!</div><div>

The Night Huntress series and the various spin offs are at the top of my all time favorites list. I can't count the number of times I've re-read the books in this world, both in paper and in audio. They are just that good, and are my go-to comfort reads. Cat & Bones, Vlad & Leila, and the rest of the pairings all hold special places in my heart. Frankly however, Ian was never at the top of any list for me other than distain perhaps. He was just awful in the 2nd book in the original Night Huntress series. In fairness as the world expanded we did get to see a bit more depth from him. With each additional interaction as these series progressed, I began to see some potential, but it was barely an ember of a flame at best. So with that hope in mind I started book 1, and I am extremely happy to admit my concerns were 100% unfounded. There is so much more to Ian than his exterior shows. Trust me, even if you are hesitant, read this series, you'll fall head over heels for him. <div><br /></div><div>In paranormal romances, many times the gruffest antihero just needs to be brought to his knees by the heroine. And magically this heroine just makes the hero change all of his ways. In this case I was expecting the same, but imagine my delight when it turns out both bring each other to their knees. Veritas comes with just as much baggage as Ian, if not more, and she's no angel herself. I truly loved her character and all the added depth she brought to this series. I can't really say much more to keep from spoiling things but trust me, this is the perfect enemies to lovers pairing. Simply delicious!</div><div><br /></div><div>Fans of the Night Huntress world will be delighted in this new trilogy addition. Ian and Veritas are everything readers could hope for and then some. Jeaniene Frost has done it again, and I can't wait to see what happens next!<br /><div><div><br /></div><div>

Catalina can earn her family some protection working as deputy to the Warden of Texas, overseeing breaches of magic law in the state, but that has risks as well. When House Baylor is under attack and monsters haunt her every step, Catalina is forced to rely on handsome, dangerous Alessandro Sagredo, the Prime who crushed her heart. <br /><br />The nightmare that Alessandro has fought since childhood has come roaring back to life, but now Catalina is under threat. Not even his lifelong quest for revenge will stop him from keeping her safe, even if every battle could be his last. Because Catalina won't rest until she stops the use of the illicit, power-granting serum that's tearing their world apart.</i></blockquote><div><br /></div><div>I'm a complete Ilona Andrews fan girl. They write it. I love it, and will reread them over and over again. I love all of the characters and rich worlds. Catalina is a bit different than some of her predecessors. She's quieter, calmer, and more calculating, less brash as it were, and I love the added depth she brings. That doesn't keep her from getting in over her head at times, and it was incredibly enjoyable getting to see her work her way out of the latest mess. </div><div><br /></div><div>Onto the romance side of things. After Alessandro left, the last thing Catalina wanted was to be paired with him again. So when she's forced into accepting him as her bodyguard, boy oh boy do the sparks fly. The two are like oil and water and yet when they do come together in sync, whoo boy, talk about swoon! I also really enjoyed getting to see further into his past and the revelations on why he is the way he is, and choices he has made were earth shattering. Talk about ramping the intensity up to eleven! </div><div><br /></div><div>All in all, EMERALD BLAZE is a fantastic installment in the Hidden Legacy series that let me clamoring for more. Fans of the series will be more than pleased with Catalina's latest adventure.</div><div><br />

Titus can’t do it alone, but of the surviving powerful angels and archangels, large numbers are wounded, while the rest are fighting a surge of murderous vampires.<br /><br />There is no one left…but the Hummingbird. Old, powerful, her mind long a broken kaleidoscope. Now, she must stand at Titus’s side against a tide of death upon a discovery more chilling than any other. For the Archangel of Disease has left them one last terrible gift…</i></blockquote><div><br /></div><div>After the insane intensity of the prior book, I had wondered how ARCHANGEL'S SUN could possibly top that epic showdown. Well after reading this book, I can tell you it didn't "top" it, it didn't need to, and I'm so glad the author went this direction. After all the insane nailing biting intensity the series had been building to, and then came to fruition, afterwards this installment was the perfect palate cleanser and perfect beginning of a new world. It read like a new hope, and a new direction for the series, and I loved every bit of it. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now onto the romance pairing, if you had of asked me a few books ago if I would have predicted Titus and the Hummingbird pairing up, I probably would have laughed. And yet now after finishing ARCHANGEL'S SUN, I can't picture any other pairing for these two. Sharine seemed so fragile, and Titus so brutish, but there's so much more than meets the eye for both of them. Beneath Sharine's frail exterior lies an iron core will. I absolutely adored her and how she of all people didn't back down to Titus' booming roughness. For an Archangel being so used to his way or the highway, it was more than entertaining seeing her defy him and ultimately bring him to his knees.</div><div><br /></div><div>ARCHAGEL'S SUN was everything I could have hoped for an then some. This series only gets better with each new installment, and I can't wait to see what comes next!<br />

It's as if the people picked up and left everything they owned behind. Fearing something supernatural might be going on, the FBI taps a source they've consulted in the past: the werewolves Charles Cornick and Anna Latham. But Charles and Anna soon find a deserted town is the least of the mysteries they face.<br /><br />Death sings in the forest, and when it calls, Charles and Anna must answer. Something has awakened in the heart of the California mountains, something old and dangerous — and it has met werewolves before.</i></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The wait between installments in this series can a bit long, but in WILD SIGN'S case, the wait was worth is and then some. It's a bit of a darker, gritter book, but absolutely perfect. Charles and Anna are off on another "adventure" with a new big, bad to hunt down. And boy was the bad a doozy in this case. The danger felt incredibly real, and the stakes were high. I simply could not put this one down once I picked it up. It was that intense.</div><br />This book accomplished something I thought to be impossible. It made me actually like Leah. Considering her treatment towards Mercy as well as her overall harshness, etc, I never was the greatest fan of hers. Don't get me wrong her "loveless" mating to Bran couldn't be easy, but she still just rubbed me the wrong way. WILD SIGN added a whole new dimension to her character that was incredibly interesting. It's a true testament to the author's skill at her ability to add such depth to a much hated character this far into this established word. Bravo!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">All in all, WILD SIGN is another fantastic installment in the Alpha & Omega series that left me with a smile on my face and I can't wait until the next book's release!<br /><br />(Received a copy from the publisher)<br />

Not with holy water or silver crosses, but by decapitation or being set on fire. So when Mac’s house bursts into flames—with him inside—he’s sure it was no accident. But who would want to kill a scientist specializing in hematology? There is a silver lining: a blonde investigator appears on the scene and sparks feelings in him that have been dormant for centuries.<br /><br />CJ Cummings is in town on a special investigation, but she’s been waylaid by the local police to deal with this arson case. The biggest mystery is how this sexy scientist with silvery blue eyes has emerged from a blazing inferno without a burn mark on him. He’s clearly hiding something. Sure, she’d love to see him without his lab coat, but she’s got a job to do—despite his insistence that he needs a bodyguard and...he wants her.<br /><br />But when a second attempt on their lives puts CJ in harm’s way, it’s Mac who will do anything to safeguard the woman who’s destined to be his life mate.</i></blockquote><div><br /></div>MEANT TO BE IMMORTAL is another fun paranormal romp in the ever enjoyable, and long running Argeneau series. This time around an immortal scientist and a human investigator are paired up, and boy do sparks fly from the start. Due to a bit of forced proximity, these two are stuck together almost from the word go, and boy is the heroine not thrilled. I just love how no nonsense she is, and doesn't take any guff. With the hero being a bit on the nerdier side, and less of an alpha, it made for a delightful pairing that I thoroughly enjoyed. Add in the entertaining plot with more than a hit of danger, and this was a perfect comfort read to curl up with.<div><br /></div><div>All in all, MEANT TO BE IMMORTAL is yet another enjoyable installment in the Argeneau series that please fans, new and old alike.<br />

Lately, her vigilante tendencies have drawn unwelcome attention to her fellow Immortals. Forced to relocate, Ildaria is supposed to lay low in a new town. Instead, she quickly entangles herself with six and a half feet of muscular, tattooed trouble.<br /><br />Joshua James Simpson Guiscard, aka G.G., knows a lot about Immortals—enough to make him wary. Yet from the moment Ildaria walks into his club, he feels desire stronger than anything he’s known. Accepting the fact that they might be life mates is disconcerting. But when her past catches up to them, G.G. faces a choice—confront his demons at last, or lose a passion that’s hot as hell.</blockquote></i><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The Argeneau series is perfect for when you need a lighter paranormal read with a guaranteed HEA. These are true category romance at their finest, a bit formulaic, but guaranteed satisfaction as you know exactly what you'll get from the start. This time added a bit of freshness to the vamp/human pairing plot, in that the hero, while human, already is fully aware of the immortal world. He however, has decided to stay human as immortality holds no appeal for him. This served as a nice change up, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Also, while I won't spoil things, I will mention that there's another big shakeup compared to previous pairing/lifemate rules, and I appreciated the added depth even if I wasn't a big fan of that particular part of the storyline. These little details make this book stand out in this very long running series.</div><div><br /></div><div>All in all this opposites attract paranormal romp was another enjoyable installment in the Argeneau series. Readers will be rooting for this pair from the start, and will be more than satisfied with the ending.</div><div><div>

<i>New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh returns to her breathtaking Psy-Changeling Trinity series with a mating that shouldn’t exist…<br /><br />Alpha wolf Selenka Durev’s devotion to her pack is equaled only by her anger at anyone who would harm those under her care. That currently includes the empaths who’ve flowed into her city for a symposium that is a security nightmare, a powder keg just waiting for a match.<br /><br />Ethan Night is an Arrow who isn’t an Arrow. Numb and disengaged from the world, he’s loyal only to himself. Assigned as part of the security force at a world-first symposium, he carries a dark agenda tied to the power-hungry and murderous Consortium. Then violence erupts and Ethan finds himself crashing into the heart and soul of an alpha wolf.<br /><br />Mating at first sight is a myth, a fairytale. Yet Selenka’s wolf is resolute: Ethan Night, broken Arrow and a man capable of obsessive devotion, is the mate it has chosen. Even if the mating bond is full of static and not quite as it should be. Because Selenka’s new mate has a terrible secret, his mind surging with a power that is a creature of madness and death…</i></blockquote>

<div>Some of the most enjoyable books in this series have been then ones where a long introduced hero finally gets their HEA. And then there are books like ALPHA NIGHT where a brand new hero is introduced and you find yourself falling in love with him right alongside the heroine. I'm talking that swept off your feet feeling of new love, and this book more than delivered with Ethan. It's definitely an insta-love situation, and yet it just... works... perfectly in this book. Many times insta-loves induce just a bit of eye-rolling, but there wasn't even one hint of that here. Trust me, even if you're not a fan of insta-love, you'll fall in love right alongside this pair without a hesitation.</div><div><br /></div><div>One of my favorite things about this series is that each and every single book is a true experience. There's many enjoyable paranormal romance series out there, but so few feel like an actual experience while reading them. The characters and world are so rich, and the books so easy to become immersed in, and ALPHA NIGHT was no exception. Fans of the series will be more than pleased with this addition to this fantastic world and series.</div><div>

<i>Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, faces a threat unlike any other in this thrilling entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.<br /><br />I am Mercedes Athena Thompson Hauptman.<br /><br />My only “superpowers” are that I turn into a thirty-five pound coyote and fix Volkswagens. But I have friends in odd places and a pack of werewolves at my back. It looks like I’m going to need them.<br /><br />Centuries ago, the fae dwelt in Underhill–until she locked her doors against them. They left behind their great castles and troves of magical artifacts. They abandoned their prisoners and their pets. Without the fae to mind them, those creatures who remained behind roamed freely through Underhill wreaking havoc. Only the deadliest survived.<br /><br />Now one of those prisoners has escaped. It can look like anyone, any creature it chooses. But if it bites you, it controls you. It lives for chaos and destruction. It can make you do anything–even kill the person you love the most. Now it is here, in the Tri-Cities. In my territory.<br /><br />It won’t, can’t, remain.</i><i><br /></i><i>Not if I have anything to say about it.</i></blockquote>
<br />
I always eagerly await the release of a new Mercy book, they are just so comforting, and the entire series has been on my re-read shelf multiple times. SMOKE BITTEN was every bit as good as the previous books, and then some. I really have enjoyed seeing how much Mercy and all of the characters have grown. Don't get me wrong, there's always bumps in the road... *coughs* Adam and some pretty ridiculous decisions *coughs*. But it's those bumps and the removal of any rose colored glasses that truly make the book and series so enjoyable. Sure it's a world full of magic, danger, and adventure, but at the core it's full of a cast of characters who feel like incredibly real people. These books are the ultimate comfort read for me, and I can't get enough.<br />
<br />
This time around, Mercy is dealing with Underhill's machinations, and as a result a pretty nasty creature, werewolf issues, and Adam off the rails so to speak, plus more. To say this book was jammed packed is an understatement, and I loved every single moment. Fans of the series will be more than please with SMOKE BITTEN and jonesing for the next book. Bravo Ms Briggs, Bravo!<br />

<i>The “enchanting” Jane Jameson series returns with this fun and witty paranormal romance following a vampire consultant who has nefarious plans to oust Jane from her role as the head of Half-Moon Hollow’s vampire council.<br /><br />Ever since Jane Jameson took over running the Vampire Council for Half-Moon Hollow, things have been a little unorthodox and that doesn’t sit well with the head office. Who would have thought vampires were so into bureaucracy and tradition?<br /><br />Enter a vamp from corporate who’s determined to unseat Jane and get the council back on track—which means no more of this Kentucky neighborliness and mixing with humans, werewolves, witches, or anything else.<br /><br />But Jane’s not interested in going back to the bad old days when the council was mired in corruption and tended to “accidentally” eat people now and again, but she might be in over her head this time. Good thing there’s a pretty new face in town who just might be the perfect distraction and help save Jane’s career.</i></blockquote>

I'm a huge fan of Molly Harper's works, each book always promises to be full of hilarious moments and delicious fun, and PEACE, BLOOD, AND UNDERSTANDING did not disappoint. Reading this book really felt like returning home to beloved characters. Whether it's in audio or written format, the Half-Moon Hollow series is always exactly what I need when I want a light and enjoyable romp. I can't count the number of times I've re-read the previous books in the series, so it was very enjoyable to have a new installment after a longer hiatus between books. I didn't have any trouble jumping right back into this world, and everything was as enjoyable as ever.<br />
<br />
The only thing that kept this from a five star read for me was that I didn't quite feel the romance as much as I would have preferred. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the new character additions, but the relationship just didn't have quite the same spark as some of the previous couples. Normally I'm a major sucker for the enemies to lovers trope, but in this case it just wasn't quite there. I more enjoyed all of the outside hijinks and the characters apart were fantastic. Don't get me wrong, by the end I was sold on the pair, but I just would have preferred just a bit more chemistry between them to pull me further in.<br />
<br />
Back to the action side of things. There was a lot more going on than just the couple focus, and Jane found herself in one heck of a pickle yet again. It's terrible to say, but it's so much trouble seeing what kind of outlandish situations she can wind up in, and I enjoyed every moment of it.<br />
<br />
All in all PEACE, BLOOD, AND UNDERSTANDING was an enjoyable return to the much loved Half-Moon Hollow series.<br />

<i>In the second pulse-pounding novel in the USA Today bestselling Heirs of Chicagoland series, vampire Elisa Sullivan gets drawn into the shifting sands of Pack politics.<br /><br />Vampires were made, not born—until Elisa Sullivan came along. As the only vampire child in existence, she grew up with a heavy legacy, and tried to flee her past. Then circumstances drew her back to Chicago, and she stayed to keep it safe. With shifter Connor Keene, the only son of Pack Apex Gabriel Keene, at her side, she faced down a supernatural evil that threatened to destroy Chicago forever.<br /><br />After the dust from the attack has settled, Elisa is surprised when Connor invites her to a usually private Pack event in the north woods of Minnesota, and by the warm welcome she receives from some of Connor’s family, even though she’s a vampire. But the peace doesn’t last. The shifters tell tales of a monster in the woods, and when the celebration is marred by death, Elisa and Connor find themselves in the middle of a struggle for control that forces Elisa to face her true self—fangs and all.</i></blockquote>

I enjoyed WICKED HOUR, and returning the characters and world that I love. The tension between Elisa and Connor was as delicious as ever. Admittedly I was a little bit frustrated with the slow burn pacing between them, but they do say good things come to those who wait. There's something about the pair of them that just says the end result will be absolute fireworks, and I can't wait to see it.<br />
<br />
However, as great as the characters, and overall world were, I felt the pacing of this book slumped a bit. Don't get me wrong, a good bit happens in this book, but it just didn't feel to have quite the intensity or stakes I've come to expect from this world. The plotline almost meanders, and didn't really feel to provide any momentum to an overarching world plot. It was an enjoyable read, but almost felt like a side story at times, while waiting to get back to the main action. This may be unfair as perhaps it's too early in the series for an overarching plot other than the romance, but it still felt like something was almost missing. I look forward to seeing what the next book brings.<br />
<br />
All in all, while not quite the book I was hoping for. WICKED HOUR is an enjoyable foray back into the Chicagoland world.<br />

<i>A simple promise to protect her friend’s infant son has turned Allie Chambers’ existence upside down. Caring for—and feeding—an orphaned vampire baby has been tricky enough. But as little Liam grows, so does his appetite. He needs more blood than she can personally supply. And when her attempts to steal from a blood bank go awry, Allie wakes up surrounded by doctors, cops…and the gorgeous, mesmerizing Magnus, who she can neither trust nor resist.<br /><br />Magnus never expected to find his life mate breaking into a blood bank. Clearly, Allie is already entwined with his world—in deeper, more dangerous ways than she realizes. A band of vicious rogue immortals is in pursuit, and Magnus’ first task is to keep her safe. His second: to awaken her to mind-blowing pleasure, and hope she’ll accept the life, and the passion, that only he can offer.</i></blockquote>

It truly is amazing that we are 30 books in and this series is still going strong as ever! Each one is a fun, fated-mate trope filled romp, that's a nice escape for a few hours. Magnus and Allie made for a delightful couple, and I thoroughly enjoyed their progression together. A lot of this series feels a bit formulaic and yet, it works perfectly, never once getting dull. With these books, you know exactly what you are getting, and it's fun to see each new couple's twist on things. IMMORTAL BORN returns to a favorite setting from previous books as well as some much loved characters making a return. A long running plotline comes front and center as well with a satisfying resolution, making for a well rounded read.<br />
<br />
All in all, IMMORTAL BORN was another delightfully fun romp in this long running series that I greatly enjoyed. Here's to hopefully many more Argeneaus!</div>

<i>Wings of silver. Wings of blue. Mortal heart. Broken dreams. Shatter. Shatter. Shatter. A sundering. A grave. I see the end. I see. . .<br /><br />The world is in chaos as the power surge of the Cascade rises to a devastating crescendo. In furiously resisting its attempts to turn Elena into a vessel for Raphael’s power, Elena and her archangel are irrevocably changed. . .far beyond the prophecy of a cursed Ancient.<br /><br />At the same time, violent and eerie events around the world threaten to wipe out entire populations. And in the Archangel Lijuan’s former territory, an unnatural fog weaves through the land, leaving only a bone-chilling silence in its wake. Soon it becomes clear that even the archangels are not immune to this deadly evil. This time, even the combined power of the Cadre may not be enough. . .<br /><br />This war could end them all.</i></blockquote>
<br />
After the insane ending of the previous book, to say I couldn’t wait for ARCHANGEL’S WAR is an understatement. I actually was a bit miffed at Nalini Singh for the torturous ending, but this book made up for it and then some. It’s a longer read, and every single page was jammed packed, the action, and the stakes never left up, not even for a moment. All of the previous cascade events pale in comparison, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I made the mistake of starting this book later in the evening, and couldn’t put it down. There was no sleep to be had that night, but the next day exhaustion was more than worth it. It’s simply that good. All of the favorite main characters play an important role in this book, and things come to a head. I can’t really say much more for fear of spoiling, just trust me when I say this book was simply amazing!<br />
<br />
Guild Hunter fans, RUN do not walk to your nearest bookstore and grab this one as soon as you can. A penultimate read of epicness, ARCHANGEL’S WAR was the best in the series yet. I can only imagine where things will go next. Bravo Ms Nalini, bravo!<br />

<i>From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews comes an enthralling new trilogy set in the Hidden Legacy world, where magic means power, and family bloodlines are the new currency of society…<br /><br />In a world where magic is the key to power and wealth, Catalina Baylor is a Prime, the highest rank of magic user, and the Head of her House. Catalina has always been afraid to use her unique powers, but when her friend’s mother and sister are murdered, Catalina risks her reputation and safety to unravel the mystery.<br /><br />But behind the scenes powerful forces are at work, and one of them is Alessandro Sagredo, the Italian Prime who was once Catalina’s teenage crush. Dangerous and unpredictable, Alessandro’s true motives are unclear, but he’s drawn to Catalina like a moth to a flame.<br /><br />To help her friend, Catalina must test the limits of her extraordinary powers, but doing so may cost her both her House–and her heart.</i></blockquote>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">To say I was excited to read
Catalina’s first full length novel would be a gross understatement. I utterly
love anything Ilona Andrews writes, and each new book goes on my favorites
shelf without a hesitation. SAPPHIRE FLAMES was no exception. We had a little
taste of Catalina in the novella, Diamond Fire,</span><span style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> but it only whet my appetite
for more. While reading this book felt like coming home to a beloved series,
Catalina is a very different character than Nevada. While they both have an
iron will, Catalina is much more reserved and cautious than her older sister.
Being in charge and responsible for her house doesn’t come naturally for her,
but she’s finding her way, and I really enjoyed getting to see her grow. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">The romance this time around
was oh so very fun and delicious. Alessandro seems like the perfect match for
Catalina, not that she’ll make it even remotely easy for him. The attraction
between the two is off the charts, and the buildup is perfect. However he’s
very mysterious and cagey at times, and Catalina has a lot of trust issues due
to her ability to ensnare without even trying. Things didn’t move too quickly
so I feel like their relationship only gave us a taste of what’s to come, and I
can’t wait.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #181818; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">If you haven’t read the
Hidden Legacy series, well what are you waiting for? Nevada’s trilogy was
fantastic, and Catalina’s is off to an amazing start. I cannot recommend this
series any higher! I’ll be counting down the days until the next book, and it
can’t come quick enough. Yet another fantastic read from Ilona Andrews,
SAPPHIRE FLAMES is not to be missed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i>Sensitive Claire Connolly must journey to another world in the electrifying fourth installment of Chloe Neill’s post-apocalyptic urban fantasy series.<br /><br />It’s been a year since the Veil between the human world and the world Beyond was torn apart, and war began again. Sensitive Claire Connolly and bounty hunter Liam Quinn have been helping their human and paranormal allies fight back against the ravaging invaders and save what’s left of New Orleans.<br /><br />But a new enemy has arisen, more powerful than any they’ve seen before, and even Devil’s Isle cannot hold her. . .<br /><br />When Claire learns of a new magical weapon–one built by paranormals themselves -she knows it could turn the tide of war. But to reach it, she and Liam will have to cross into the Beyond itself. In a world full of hostile magic and dangerous foes, she’ll have to channel the powers she once kept hidden in order to survive. New Orleans hangs in the balance, and the storm is growing closer . . .</i></blockquote>

In THE BEYOND, things really come to a head, and it was one heck of a thrill ride. Everything in the Devil’s Isles series has been building up to this point for the ultimate battle. The stakes were incredibly high, and I enjoyed every moment. Crossing over the Veil added a new dimension to the world, and it was fascinating to see how their world was. Both Claire and I *almost* felt sorry for the paras that left there to escape, almost. But the amount of destruction they caused Earthside is inexcusable and she wasn’t afraid to sock it to them.<br />
<br />
In the romance department, things are much better than in previous installments. I had expressed a good bit of frustration in my reviews of the prior books. But this time around things felt much more on track and less wishy-washy. Don’t get me wrong, things weren’t smooth sailing or roses for the pair, but the romance felt much more substantial this go around, which I very much appreciated. <br />
<br />
All in all, THE BEYOND was a good finish to the Devil’s Isle series that I greatly enjoyed. Fans of the series will be pleased with this conclusion.<br />

I really enjoyed Kill the Queen, but PROTECT THE PRINCE was even better! I am utterly in love with this series, I just can't get enough. The characters, world, and plot are all incredible. Everleigh in particular really stole my heart this time around. There have been so many challenges thrown at her, and while she questions whether she's enough at times, she never once falters or lets anyone stand in her way of doing what is best for her people. She is truly an admirable up and coming queen and I am delighted to get to see her grow. Each new twist and turn in the story only served as something new for her to overcome, and a new facet of her character. I simply loved it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I finished this book I had a strong urge to go back and read book 1 again just to stay in this world longer. To say that I'm dying to get my hands on the next book is an understatement. If you are looking for a phenomenal read full of twists and turns that you can lose yourself in, look no further than the Crown of Shards series!<br />

<i>New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh takes us on a new adventure in this next novel of the Psy-Changeling Trinity series…<br /><br />The end of Silence was supposed to create a better world for future generations. But trust is broken, and the alliance between Psy, Changeling, and human is thin. The problems that led to Silence are back in full force. Because Silence fixed nothing, just hid the problems.<br /><br />This time, the Psy have to find a real answer to their problems–if one exists. Or their race will soon go extinct in a cascade of violence. The answer begins with an empath who is attuned to monsters–and who is going to charm a wolf into loving her despite his own demons.</i></blockquote>

<br />
<br />
Some stories in the Psy-Changeling world are very insular, but in a good way, focusing heavily on the romance and the world events take a back seat. Then other stories are very worldly with the couple's romance playing a large part, but the overall series arch really taking the reins. WOLF RAIN was the latter. Memory and Alexei are a fantastic pair, and their banter is very enjoyable. Memory in particular has a feisty, iron will and doesn't let Alexei do anything but toe the line, and it's rather hilarious. They of course have the majority of the page time in this book and I really enjoyed seeing their relationship progress. However, the overall series momentum and plot additions stole the show this time around. It really is amazing just how much depth can be continually added to this world even though we are so very many books into the series. Bravo, simply bravo.<br />
<br />
Hands down, Nalini Singh is an incredible talent in the genre and the ever growing Psy-Changeling world never ceases to amaze me. Fans of the series will be delighted with this new installment! I enjoyed this book so much it inspired a re-read of the entire series. A serious delight!<br />

<i>In this powerful and exciting fantasy set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Others series, humans and the shape-shifting Others will see whether they can live side by side...without destroying one another.<br /><br />There are ghost towns in the world—places where the humans were annihilated in retaliation for the slaughter of the shape-shifting Others.<br /><br />One of those places is Bennett, a town at the northern end of the Elder Hills—a town surrounded by the wild country. Now efforts are being made to resettle Bennett as a community where humans and Others live and work together. A young female police officer has been hired as the deputy to a Wolfgard sheriff. A deadly type of Other wants to run a human-style saloon. And a couple with four foster children—one of whom is a blood prophet—hope to find acceptance.<br /><br />But as they reopen the stores and the professional offices and start to make lives for themselves, the town of Bennett attracts the attention of other humans looking for profit. And the arrival of the Blackstone Clan, outlaws and gamblers all, will uncover secrets…or bury them.</i></blockquote>

I always enjoy returning to The Others world, and WILD COUNTRY was no exception. I especially enjoyed this look into a different town with new characters, but a few returning favorites, and that the timeline ran parallel to Meg's last book. Seeing things from a different perspective is always interesting. It added an extra element to getting to know all of the new characters. I particularly loved the dynamic between Jana and Virgil, and their little Wolfguard pack. Seeing Virgil the alpha Wolfguard trying to figure out how to navigate and deal with a female human member of his police pack was nothing short of hilarious. It definitely added the perfect amount of levity to tense situations in this plot.<br />
<br />
It is fascinating just how incredibly stupid some people are in this world. The Others have proven time and time again they are top of the food chain, and yet so many idiots think they can run the show. While sometimes this series at a first glance may seem formulaic with new idiots trying to take things over each book, each new set of "idiots" brought an entirely new element to the series. I have to say the villains of this book may just take the cake in the stupidity, greediness, and absolute arrogance department. The world surely doesn't suffer fools. It was like a train wreck I could see coming a mile away, but I enjoyed every minute of seeing it unfurl.<br />
<br />
Anne Bishop has done it once again, and WILD COUNTRY is another fantastic installment in The Others series that is not to be missed!<br />

<i>In this new installment in the No. 1 New York Times bestselling series, Mercy Thompson must face a deadly enemy to defend all she loves . . .<br /><br />My name is Mercedes Athena Thompson Hauptman, and I am a car mechanic.<br /><br />And a coyote shapeshifter . . . And the mate of the Alpha of the Columbia Basin werewolf pack.<br /><br />Even so, none of that would have gotten me into trouble if, a few months ago, I hadn't stood upon a bridge and taken responsibility for the safety of the citizens who lived in our territory. It seemed like the thing to do at the time. It should have only involved hunting down killer goblins, zombie goats, and an occasional troll. Instead, our home was viewed as neutral ground, a place where humans would feel safe to come and treat with the fae.<br /><br />The reality is that nothing and no one is safe. As generals and politicians face off with the Gray Lords of the fae, a storm is coming and her name is Death.<br /><br />But we are pack, and we have given our word. We will die to keep it.</i></blockquote>

I absolutely love Mercy and the entire series. Each new installment is like coming home to old friends, and STORM CURSED was no exception. Mercy has such an entertaining knack for getting herself both in and out of trouble, which is a delight to read. This time around she's found herself tangled up with the blackest of witches. And if that weren't enough there's things afoot with the government trying to control the pack. Plus all the continued repercussions from Mercy's declaration that the tri-cities were her territory and you have a whole lot going on in Mercy-land. As always she handles things with her normal wit and perseverance, and it made for one heck of an enjoyable read.<br />
<br />
There were a whole lot of moving parts in STORM CURSED with so many different factions and issues Mercy and co were facing. It really made for and interesting read, and it felt great to return back to the tri-cities after the overseas hijinks from the previous book. As they say there's no place like home, and there's nothing like a Mercy book. Fans of the series will really enjoy this installment for all the action, comedy, familiar faces, and typically Mercy fun. Definitely a great read!<br />
