Review @donna_grant - Dark Alpha's Awakening by Donna Grant (Reaper #7)





Dark Alpha's Awakening
Reaper #7
by Donna Grant

Goodreads blurb:  There is no escaping a Reaper. I am an elite assassin, part of a brotherhood that only answers to Death. And when Death says your time is up, I’m coming for you…

Serving Death and the Reapers has been my life for centuries. I’ve always put my duty before everything, even my yearning for Death. But now, she’s fading – our foe is bent on destroying her and he will stop at nothing until he does. Death holds the key to our survival. I will do everything in my power to stop her from disappearing. For her, I will ensure we have the best fighting chance. For her…I will cross the divide keeping us apart.

This is a full-length Reaper novel.


About the Author:  Donna Grant is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the sizzling Dark King series featuring dragons, immortal Highlanders, and the Fae.

She was born and raised in Texas but loves to travel. Her adventures have taken her throughout the United States as well as to Jamaica, Mexico, and Scotland. Growing up on the Texas/Louisiana border, Donna’s Cajun side of the family taught her the “spicy” side of life while her Texas roots gave her two-steppin’ and bareback riding.

Despite deadlines and voracious reading, Donna still manages to keep up with her two children, three cats, and a dog.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!  I think I want to collect this series in paperback in the future!

This is the 7th book in the Reaper series, and I’d recommend reading them in order because otherwise you are missing events.  And because this is a spin-off from the Dark Kings, I’d read both series in the order written because there are references to things that happen in both series.  You can read them just fine not in order, but you’ll get more if you read them all and your invested in the world and characters.

This is Death and Cael’s love story with a conclusion to the Death and Bran issues.  I was pulled into the story and didn’t want to put it down, but I do love all the Reapers.  There were no Kings in this book, but you still have Rhi, Balladyn, and more from the previous books, and a baby!  So much going on in this book, but you should be aware there is some torture.  I don’t want to give anything away though.  This world is complex and intense with drama, treachery, fighting, and romance.  I can’t wait to see what happens next!

I highly recommend to any paranormal fans who love mixed worlds filled with magic, fae (both light and dark), reapers, Death, love, betrayal, loyalty, and so much more!  I really love Donna’s books!

Review @SableSylvan - Miss Muffet's Bears by Sable Sylvan (Freshly Baked Furry Tails #2)





Miss Muffet's Bears
 Freshly Baked Furry Tails #2
by Sable Sylvan

Goodreads blurb:  Curvy Miss Muffet told the lumberjacks to stuff it, as their curds were in her way…
When the Bear Claw Bakery's BBW baker Katrina Muffet is assigned delivery duty, she’s expecting an easy drive up to the local dairy. When a lumber crew’s cargo of cottage cheese spills and blocks off the road, she finds curds in her way — and two handsome bear shifters . How will Katrina choose between the two rival werebears? And when all three are assigned to work on the same project, will a shifter fight scare Miss Muffet away?

When werebear Alex hits a pothole and his drum of cheese curds and whey protein powder spills out onto the road back to Port Jameson, he thinks his week's been ruined...until he sees Katrina for the first time. The curvy goddess manages to look even hotter after she gives him a thorough scolding, but will she give this Grizzlyfir Crew lumberjack a chance to impress her on a real date? And how will this cook compete with the mysterious stranger in her life?

Chef Quentin Horne never expected to find a human mate while working for Hemlock Crew. Although her curves fled, her scent remained, and the lumberbear’s hunter side takes over. Quentin is going to claim Katrina as his...and nobody, certainly not Alex, is going to get in this grizzly's way.    


About the Author:  The only thing I love more than reading hot paranormal romances is writing down my fantasies and sharing them with readers like you. My heroes are strong alpha male bear shifters who can be grizzly and gruff at times...but when it comes to their fated mates, they're absolute teddy bears. My curvy heroines are strong, sassy women, which is why the werebear men who love them will do anything for their love.

FACT: Sable Sylvan writes paranormal romance featuring fairy-tale happy endings, bear shifters, and the BBWs that love both those things.

FICTION: Sable Sylvan is three smaller authors stuffed into a trench coat.

FACT: Sable Sylvan romances are all FREE via Kindle Unlimited!

FICTION: Sable Sylvan gets enough sleep and totally isn't staying up all night so she can share her stories with her awesome readers.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!! In the future, I will pick up my own copy as I do most of Sable’s books!

This is the 2nd book in this series, but it is still in the same awesome bear-tastic world, and we are back in Port Jameson!  This is for adults only due to the steamy content involving this trio of mates!

This story involves another baker at Bear Claw Bakery which is to be expected because the way to a bear’s heart is through his stomach.  I love how Sable brings childhood stories to life as adult stories.  This one is for Miss Muffet as if you couldn’t guess.  The cook and chef from the two opposing lumber camps dislike each other, but they realize they share a mate.  It always makes for an interesting story to see hot headed bears who don’t get along put aside their differences and dislike for the love of their mate.  I love these Port Jameson Bears!

I highly recommend to any fans of Sable’s bear-rific world in Port Jameson with mate marks and trios trying to figure it out!

Review @katiereus - Hunted by Darkness by Katie Reus (Darkness #4)





Hunted by Darkness
Darkness #4
by Katie Reus

Goodreads blurb:  From two different worlds…

Now that she’s escaped her oppressive family, Nyx is enjoying her new life and friends—even if most of her friends don’t know who or what she is. As a rare demigod, she’s just learning how powerful she truly is, but family drama turns her world upside down, throwing the one man she cares about into danger.

He wasn’t supposed to fall for her…

Nyx is nothing like the females half-demon Bo Broussard has been with. Sweet and innocent, she’s not even remotely his type. But the moment she walks into his bar, he knows he’s not letting her go. Unfortunately someone from her past thinks they can force her into an arranged marriage.

He’s not letting her go…

Someone is targeting one of them, and Bo doesn’t know why. When they’re thrown into a hell realm together, he and Nyx will need to band together if they want to survive the perils of that world. No matter who was behind the attack, his choice is clear. Defend Nyx at all cost and make her his forever.

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  I bought this book back in 2016, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!  I own this whole series and many other books by Katie Reus!

The cover is subdued, but you sort of see Bo’s family symbols and the small fairy wings that give a hint of this being paranormal.

This is the 4th book in the series, and it is definitely for adults only due to the steamy content!  I also want to add that there are women abducted, abused, and raped in this book by demons though it is not described beyond the condition of the women when they are rescued, but please take precautions if this is a trigger for you.

This is Bo and Nyx’s story.  Her mother is calling in her favor, but everyone is leery for good reason.  Bo and Nyx have an unplanned adventure that is fraught with danger and new people (some good and others not so much)!  Bo is going crazy trying to keep Nyx safe, but he is also trying to give her space because he doesn’t want to control her life like her family.  Of course some of our favorites are helping out too like Victoria, Drake, and Finn.  I love all the action in Katie’s books.  I couldn’t put this one down either.

I highly recommend to any paranormal fans who love all paranormals, magic, action, battles, and love!!

Review @katiereus - Beyond the Darkness by Katie Reus (Darkness #3)





Beyond the Darkness
Darkness #3
by Katie Reus

Goodreads blurb:  Now that she has her freedom, she’s not giving it up.

Dragon shifter Keelin Petronilla spent centuries in forced hibernation dreaming of one thing: freedom. Now she’s living life on her terms—she’s ditched her clan for an unruly wolf pack, she tends bar for a half-demon, and she’s loving it…until a powerful supernatural being targets her. She intends to handle the mysterious attacks on her own…without the help of dragon Alpha Bran Devlin. Sure, he’s sexy in that hot, scowling possessive way, but Keelin wants to live her own life in her own way.

Now that he’s found his mate, he’s not letting her go.

Former black ops agent Bran Devlin is a born dragon Alpha and leader of a fierce clan. Getting mated was never part of his plan—until a feisty dragon princess gets under his skin in a big way. The hell of it is, she doesn’t want a mate; she just wants to have a good time. He plays along, but when a dark and powerful being marks her for death, he’s determined to stay by her side in spite of her protests. Now that he’s found his mate, he means to keep her safe no matter what the cost…even if he has to risk it all.

The cover is very subdued, and you would know it is paranormal except for the small dragon that gives you a hint.

This is Keelin and Bran’s story!  Keelin is Drake and Conall’s sister, and Bran is the Devlin Clan’s Alpha.  Keelin is staying in Biloxi because she wanted some freedom.  A month later, Bran shows up.  There is all sorts of drama, fights, danger, and as usual demons trying to hurt them.  This time Keelin is the target, but they are trying to figure out why.  This was another action-packed book, but I don’t want to give anything away, but we have lots of new faces who show up.  We also have some favorites from the other books who return like Finn, Vega, Drake, Rhea, Conall, and Victoria!  I love this world and how they are making alliances and helping each other out!

I highly recommend to any paranormal fans who love complex worlds filled with all types of being, action, fights, treachery, mystery, intrigue, and mating fire!

Review @AuthorJasParent - Hearing Evil by Jason Parent (Cycle of Evil #2)





Hearing Evil
Cycle of Evil #2
by Jason Parent

Goodreads blurb:  Michael Turcotte wants nothing to do with his so-called gift—the ability to see other people’s fates simply by touching them. Michael decides to spend his summer searching for answers about his past. He can’t rest without the sounds of forgotten tragedy echoing through his dreams, but reconstructing his memories will come with a whole new set of problems even he can’t foresee.

Detective Samantha Reilly has always looked out for Michael, but now that she’s taken him into her home, she fears her maternal instincts are lacking. When a brutal gang sets off a chain reaction of crimes, Sam struggles to choose between the two most important things in her life: her job and her new foster son. Fate intervenes when Michael is kidnapped, forcing her two roles to collide.

As Michael’s past meets Sam’s present, their bond will be tested while a city crumbles around them. They’ll need all their skills and a lot of luck in order to survive. 


About the Author:  In his head, Jason Parent lives in many places, but in the real world, he calls New England his home. The region offers an abundance of settings for his writing and many wonderful places in which to write them. He currently resides in Southeastern Massachusetts with his cuddly corgi named Calypso.

In a prior life, Jason spent most of his time in front of a judge . . . as a civil litigator. When he finally tired of Latin phrases no one knew how to pronounce and explaining to people that real lawsuits are not started, tried and finalized within the 60-minute timeframe they see on TV (it's harassing the witness; no one throws vicious woodland creatures at them), he traded in his cheap suits for flip flops and designer stubble. The flops got repossessed the next day, and he's back in the legal field . . . sorta. But that's another story.

When he's not working, Jason likes to kayak, catch a movie, travel any place that will let him enter, and play just about any sport (except that ball tied to the pole thing where you basically just whack the ball until it twists into a knot or takes somebody's head off - he misses the appeal). And read and write, of course. He does that too sometimes.

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  Yes, I received a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!  I want to add this to my library in the future!

The cover is intense and grabs your attention!

This is the 2nd book in the series, and I would recommend reading the books in order.  You will want to know what happened previously especially with the other kids.  This is for adults due to the violence.

Michael and Detective Reilly are back as the main characters in this book.  Michael has questions about his past and family.  Sam is trying to protect him as always.  Bad things start happening all over town and starting with the court house.  Sam has a bad feeling.  Sam has a lot of trouble, and Michael is a part of it.  This book definitely gives you some heebie jeebie moments throughout, and it kept me guessing what was going to happen next!  And it always surprised me.  I really got hooked on Sam and Michael’s story!  Of course by the end there were more questions, so I need / want to read the next book to see what happens next!

I highly recommend to anyone who likes mystery, suspense, thrillers with some paranormal, and tons of action!  I couldn’t put this book down!

Review @celiakyle - Claimed by the Bear or All Roar and No Bite by Celia Kyle (Grayslake #2)





All Roar and No Bite
or



Claimed by the Bear
Grayslake #2
by Celia Kyle

Goodreads blurb:  Who needs claws when you’ve got a baseball bat? Lauren Evans sure as heck doesn’t.

Human Lauren has a protective streak a mile wide and one immediate goal in life—get her best friend out of an abusive household. If that involves a little bat-based redecorating, so be it. Unfortunately—or fortunately—a certain sexy-as-hell cop breaks up the fight before she has a chance to really get going. Grayslake police officer Van Abrams is too hot for his own good, and his handcuffs make all those wonderful places tingle. Too bad he, you know, arrested her and stuff. But then he becomes overbearing, demanding, and commanding. Suddenly Lauren finds herself in his arms, in his bed, and mated to his werebear butt. What’s up with that?

Werebear Enforcer Van Abrams doesn’t want anything to do with humans. He’s got reasons, and they’re damn good ones. He doesn’t need to explain himself to anyone, especially the curvaceous, luscious, gorgeous, human Lauren. Then, his bear decides Lauren is his mate and Van’s anti-human feelings abandon him. He still hasn’t figured out if that’s a good thing. Of course, when danger rolls in from Boyne Falls and joins with a powerful prick from Grayslake, Van realizes that, human or not, Lauren is his.
Van hopes he can kill their enemies and still make it home for dinner.

Warning: This book contains bad guys (more than one) being bad to good girls (two if you’re counting), and one group of humans who sorta end up… dead. Unfortunately, all that comes with a lot of blood, tears, and balls of fur. In this one, boy bears really do drool and human girls rule (and kick ass). We also learn that you can never have enough baseball bats, brake fluid, or fire pokers. Just sayin’. 


About the Author:  Celia Kyle would like to rule the world and become a ninja. As a fall-back, she’s working on her writing career and giving readers stories that touch their hearts and *ahem* other places.

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  I bought this book back in 2014, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!  I own this whole series!!

The both covers are great!  This book was originally published under the title All Roar and No Bite, and I think the cover and name changed when Kindle Worlds went away.

This is the 2nd book in this series, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content.  While it is not necessary, I highly recommend reading the books in order because it is more awesome when you know the other characters!

Lauren is protective, and while she is protecting her friend from an abusive husband, she gets arrested by Van.  She is Van’s mate!  Van has some baggage having to do with humans because of his past!  This causes all sorts of drama, and her life is in danger.  This was an exciting read, and a certain cub from book 1 also causes his own fair share of trouble.  I loved this book as much as the first.  Can’t wait to see who is next in finding their mate!

I highly recommend to bear shifter fans who love Celia Kyle’s style and exciting stories with lots of bears!

Review @katiereus - Taste of Darkness by Katie Reus (Darkness #2)





Taste of Darkness
Darkness #2
by Katie Reus

Goodreads blurb: He spent more than a thousand years imprisoned in hell…

Drake is an ancient dragon shifter, one of the most powerful beings in existence, but a millennium trapped in utter darkness has left him ill-equipped for modern society. If it wasn’t for Victoria, the sweet female brave enough to befriend him, he’d be lost. She’s smart and gorgeous and everything he never dared dream of during his years of agonizing loneliness. He may not have anything to offer her, but one thing he knows for sure: he’d die to keep her safe.

Only to fall into the heaven of her touch.

Victoria is a wolf shifter, healer of the Stavros pack. She’s seen a lot, but she’s never met anybody quite like Drake, the fiery, fascinating shifter who can blaze through the skies unseen by mere mortals. He’s lost, dangerous, and the last male she should fall in love with, but the more time she spends helping him navigate modern life, the deeper—and hotter—their connection becomes. She’s thrilled when they finally locate his family, but reuniting with his people plunges them both into unimaginable danger. It’s a race against the clock trying to figure out who wants them dead and who they can trust, especially when the threat is closer than they ever imagined.
