Review: Demon Prints by Nazri Noor 5 of 5 stars

Demon Prints (Infernal Inheritance Book 1)Demon Prints by Nazri Noor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Half-breed demon Quilliam J. Abernathy is the Chosen of Asmodeus and destined to become their greatest weapon against heaven and humanity. However, not only is he a powerful sorcerer but he is very prideful and his power is based on the number of grimoires and tomes he has in his collection. However, when he has a botched mission he becomes the target of Asmodeus' wrath and he is stripped of everything - sorcery, protections and even his books. Add to that the duo of deadly angels that want him dead and he is in big trouble. He has a big choice to make - obey Asmodeus so he can reclaim his magic and book so he can continue to work towards the apocalypse or rebel again his position and role in Hell. Either way, he's doomed.

This was a book full of magical danger and drama as Quill battled to stay alive and try to cope with his severely restricted abilities. It was nice to experience him in his origin and why he was the way he is. There was plenty of drama, danger and action in this story which set the scene nicely for the series to come (this was the first book). Anyone who has read the Darkling Mage series by the same author will have already met Quill and it was great to have some more background to him and his abilities. I look forward to reading more of this series and enjoying the adventures and scrapes he gets himself into. Well written and easy to read and understand, the writing style was very descriptive and clear.

As both their dark secrets become clear, can she accept the deal she made with the devil and make it together with Jude or will she die trying?

This was a nice romance story between a shifter and a vampire that was full of drama, danger and action as everything became clear on both her past and Jude's. Well written, it was easy to understand and feel the thoughts and emotions of the characters. A very enjoyable shifter story. Contains sexual content.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

At a social event Valentina Lombardi jokingly asked Gerri Wilder to hook her up with a sexy man or two, but never in her wildest dreams did she expect to actually happen. When she lands a job on Costa Bonita, Valentina is romanced by two gorgeous men - however, she is torn as she can't date them both at the same time as it's wrong. Dragon shifters Ash Jonz and Smoke Price desperately need a mate to complete their triad and renew the island's magic. When Valentina arrives they both know she is the one that they need. How will she handle knowing that they both want to keep her, mate her and cement their marks on her - together. However, volcano Fire Moutain is in trouble and if Ash and Smoke don't finalise their triad the whole island will blow although it appears that someone on their island has decided that they don't want her getting in the way. Can they find her before she is sacrificed for pirate treasure?

This was a lovely paranormal dating agency story that had two dragon shifters find their mate with the usual drama associated with it. I loved Valentina and the fact that she had been convinced by family and ex's that she was too large and curvy to be attractive (as far as I am concerned she seemed like a strong and sexy woman who just needed a strong man (or two) to help her see that. I loved the overall plot and the way that the action unfolded around the volcanic island. Well written and easy to read. Contains some sexual content.

Dangerous Cravings (Dangerous Cravings, #1)Dangerous Cravings by Evangeline Anderson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Homicide detective Alex Reed is fierce, intelligent and tougher than any of the men in her department, but by night she explores her darker side writing highly erotic BDSM novels under the pen name Victoria Tarlatan. Homicide Detective Cole Berkley is Alex's longtime partner and best friend - he also has no idea about her craving to be mastered nor about her writing. A serial killer is transforming what he views as wicked women into works of erotic art. His hapless victims are found tied to the bed in classic bondage poses, strangled and tortured in unspeakable ways. In order to crack the case, Alex and Cole are going to have to go undercover within the BDSM community as a master and his slave. The question is can Alex keep her secret desires hidden and can Cole handle the change in a partner that he perceives as tough and hard into a woman with deeply erotic needs? Any friction this all causes between them will become the least of their worries as the killer has a list of intended victims and Victoria Tarlatan is next on that list. Can Alex survive or will she pay with her life?

I liked this story which was a mixture between a murder mystery story, a story of the relationship between Alex and Cole, with a fairly healthy-sized dose about the BDSM lifestyle. I really enjoyed the story which was really good at describing their relationship and how it was developing as well as how it changed as they got further into the murder mystery that they were investigating. Well written and easy to read I found it a good story to read. Contains explicit sexual descriptions as well as intimate details of the BDSM lifestyle. Definitely a book only for those who are older than 18 years old.

Widow, single parent and nurse Bridget Valentine has decided to lease the spare garage room in her home out to help towards living costs and gets a tenant via her friend Calliope in the form of sexy British doctor Alex Hogue. They are both attracted to each other but try their best to try and fight it and stay professional, but over time it becomes harder and harder. Can they resist each other, give in for some temporary fun or even have a HEA?

This was a sweet romantic story that definitely tore at the heartstrings as you went on the rollercoaster ride with Bridget and Alex as they found love together and built a whole new future together. I loved the way Alex was sensitive to Bridget's son and his feelings. I do have to admit that Bridget became a bit irritating in the end with her torturous thoughts and emotions, but I loved the way that the story ended. Well written and easy to read and understand.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vampire Charles Tower has discovered human Stacy Morgan and knows nothing sweeter than her lips. However, fellow vampire and father figure to him Mikhail has gone rogue and has marked her for death - even worse Charles has to be the man to put him to death. Charles nearly loses it when determined Stacy offers herself up as bait. Now they must fight against the centuries-old customs that bar them from being together and the rogue vampire who wants every last drop of Stacy’s blood.

This was a charming story that was a nice derivative of a standard vampire story and a love story all rolled into one. I loved the drama and danger throughout the book interspersed with tender moments between Charles and Stacy. The insights into vampire politics were fascinating and I look forward to how that may develop in books later in the series. Well written and very easy to read and understand it was a great start to the series and I'm looking forward to what happens next. Contains some sexual content.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lula Aglaope is a siren and can bend anyone to her will with the smallest whisper, but she'd give up all of that power to have a normal life with a meaningful and honest conversation with someone. Then she meets Alexiares, God of Warding off Wars and normal life is no longer in her thoughts. The demigod cannot be controlled by her voice, he is incredibly frustrating, beautiful and utterly off-limits. Alex has watched Olympus slowly falling apart as the old god continue to control the Universe denying the progress of humans and other deities, but Alex plans to repair it all and Lula is a key player (she just has no idea of that yet). Falling for her is a bad idea, and when everything starts to move in the right way danger arises plunging the sirens into the deadly Olympian spotlight. Lula's sisters are missing, there are broken laws around them, can Alex and Lula change everything for the better or destroy it?

I really loved this book which merged the sirens into the tales of the gods in Olympus and a love story altogether in a complex story that because quite addictive the further I got into the book. I really liked that Lula was trying to use her ability to achieve positive things and that she did her best not to speak to people unless she had to. Well written and easy to read, I'm definitely addicted and can't wait to find out what happens next.

Dragon shifter Allon Wyvern is a bounty hunter and normally always gets the bad guy - that is unless his main rival dragon shifter Chelle Calidi doesn't get there first. For this one bounty, the gloves seem to be off, as they both go for the criminal at the same time and that allows him to escape. After an intense, angry and passionate first meeting, they are forced to work together to capture their prey. Can they keep their hands off each other long enough to catch him?

I tried really hard to like this book, but it was all about their rivalry and boasting followed by angry sex than anything else between them in the form of a relationship. It became a bit tedious and boring in the end and I ended up disliking both of the main characters. In some ways well written and clear, but in other ways, it was just irritating.

Gerri Wilder's newest assistant is Sky Adler and she is on a mission to scope out a new client. What she didn't expect, is that town residents to treat her like a criminal and the client as a saint. Add to that how hot he is and she seems to permanently need a cold shower. Panther shifter Damien Grimes is not interested in people's opinion of him hence all of the lies in the press about him. He might have the image of a playboy, but that is far from the truth and even worse it is preventing his mate from giving him a chance. He needs a miracle to get her out of her clothes and into his bed. Sky is finding it hard to judge Damien in any way but the research and preconceived impressions she had before she got there. Things start to head in the right direction when trouble comes calling and she has to let Damien save her as well as stop denying the love she is feeling for him - it is that or go home with a broken heart.

I really liked this story. It had a strong woman who was determined to stick to her position and a strong man who did his best to let her see that she had misunderstood and that he is everything she needs and wants. I really liked the way this story was told from the way she thought, believed and assumed, followed by her realisation that it didn't match reality. It felt more like a love story than some of the other books in the series. Well written, it was easy to read and understand. Contains some sexual content.

Homicide Lieutenant Ava North is much more comfortable talking to dead men that live ones - the dead can't lie to her. However, deep down she would like to find a man to share her life with. Wolf shifter alpha Slate Forbes is trying really hard to make a success of his pack's cabin business, handle the renovation and a competing bear clan next door so thoughts of a mate are far from his mind, but that all changes when a beautiful and awkward woman bumps into him and steals his drink. Suddenly all he can think of is where to find her, mate her and make her completely his. Ava was not thinking of finding a dead body but when she does she can tell that something is not right in the small town. Unwilling to let the crime go unsolved, she focusses on getting justice for the dead as there are no witnesses and very little evidence. Will Ava solve this crime or will she be next on the killer's list?

This was definitely a merging of a story of a wolf finding his mate, a romance between a man and a woman all wrapped into a murder mystery. It was good to work through the mystery and find out who was killing people (it was not who I suspected it was), even though the wolf/bear clans competing was a bit boring. Well written and very enjoyable, it was great to see that almost everyone got what they wanted (or needed) at the end of this story. Contains some sexual content.

Talented artist Clarke Indiana is an introvert and in need of some adventure. She has decided that her need to live and love can be helped on the way by Gerri Wilder although she might not be ready for what she gets! Ice dragons Sleet and Hale live on the planet Aurora and are the alpha and beta of their clan. They need a mate to complete their triad as they cannot be the rulers they need to be without her. As soon as they meet Clarke they know she is their mate as she is funny, sassy and just looking at her lips is driving them crazy. As soon as Clarke learns the clan's secret, she fights to save innocent lives and does everything she can to get them back. It is going to take everything that both dragons have to keep her alive so she can succeed.

Clarke was an adorable figure that I'm sure many of us can relate to (although not the artistic talent!) and Sleet and Hale were just adorable as pair of dragons trying to find their third. I liked the story and the aim of it which was lovely and dramatic. There were some twists, turns and crossed wires in this story which were sorted out by the end of the story. It was fun to try and solve the different layers of the mystery that they all found themselves in and I enjoyed the final resolution which ensures they would have a great future going forward. Well written and very enjoyable. Contains some sexual content some of which is MFM.

Party planner Winter Delgado is excited about her newest client as it is Gerri Wilder and this party is going to push her career to new heights. She is not so excited about the bear shifter that is her mate as he is just a distraction to what she wants to do and achieve in her life. She somehow needs to find a way to focus on her job and now tall, dark and sexy Finn. Bear shifter Finn Blackburn wons his own security company and his life in the city has been great up to now until one fateful afternoon he finds his long lost twin brother, his parents AND his mate!! With no chance to catch his breath it appears that everyone is depending on him to save his clan who have all been oppressed by a clique of corrupt people that only seem to think of themselves. Suddenly fighting for the clan, putting the family back together and making sure that Winter stays safe is a major undertaking and so falling in love is one hell of a distraction. As the drama intensifies Finn and Winter have to team up and face the evil head on which could risk the life of one or the other of them. Can they come out of this alive and together?

This book is like a continuation of the previous one (Bear in Mind #23) and although you do not have to read it first it would help to understand some of the family dynamics. I liked the way that they worked through their problems and found ways to work and be together. It was lovely to see how people power will prevail and those that are evil will fail at what they are doing. Well written and easy to read and understand. Contains sexual content.

Summer Delgado is a private investigator and she goes to see Gerri Wilder in the hopes that she can find her mouse of a sister Winter a man. She is very clear with Gerri that she is not interested in finding a man as she has no time for romance. Gerri asks her to investigate the break-in she had to her apartment but it appears that Gerri has other plans as there is a bear shifter that Summer bumped into in the lift and she needs to take herself in hand to try and ignore the pull of him. Bear shifter Quinn Teddy is the alpha of his pack and he has been visiting her weekly trying to get Gerri Wilder'd recipes to use in his B&B business as well as his focus on helping his ailing father. He also has a mystery of a missing mother and twin brother. So when he bumps into Summer in the lift his bear immediately reacts and tells him that he just met his mate. He really doesn't have the time for this but he also cannot stay away. As a gifted PI Summer agrees to help Quinn and together they follow a new trail of clues but the test is going to test their budding relationship and also put Summer's life on the line. Quinn will do everything he can to keep her alive but the question is, can they come out of this intact?

This was certainly a dramatic story that had a couple of mysteries that needed investigation in parallel. As Summer and Quinn worked on the two different mysteries it was great to see their relationship developing and becoming more permanent. There was a lot of drama and danger at the end of the story and it really was on a knife-edge as to whether Summer was going to come out of everything alive.

Lion shifter Remy Leandros is doing everything he can to make the Lakeside Pride strong but it's not been easy and he has starting to fear that if something doesn't change soon that their numbers are going to decrease. What he never imagine is that his mate is going to come to his rescue, even though as far as he is concerned a mate is the last thing that he needs. Genevieve Monroe is the producer of a stage play about lion shifters and thinks that the best way to learn about them is to learn about them from the real thing. Gerri Wilder helps her and her crew to stay with a real pride for a couple of weeks. However, when she gets there she finds that the alpha is a hot and sexy man and all she wants is to strip him naked. Whilst she is used to the drama around plays and actors, what she finds around the pride is out of her own experience especially when she is personally threatened. Remy can try and protect his mate but she is determined to do what she wants and so when she goes missing it is up to Remy to try and find her. Can he do that before the curtain closes?

This was a good story that had some links back to another of the books in the series although it certainly wasn't a prerequisite to reading this book. I loved the independence of Gen and her determination to do her own thing and the way she was still able to take charge at times and be the perfect alpha female even though she hadn't been officially mated yet. The story had a mystery and plenty of drama as the story unfolded. It was easy to read and understand. It does contain some sexual content.

Saorsa has teamed up with monsters (who are now her lovers) because an organisation called the Company of Light were already on her list to be destroyed have now scaled up that list after they may have damaged one of her demon sweethearts beyond repair - so they are definitely overdue some flame action. However, she needs to be careful as the inner fire she only recently discovered is intent on burning her up at the same time as burning the baddies - somehow she needs to learn some control of this skill before she destroys herself and everything/everyone she loves. So she determines to understand where both it and herself came from - however, will those answers end up being even more dangerous than not knowing in the first place? Enemies are multiplying by the minute and for all Saorsa knows the worst of them could be standing right next to her.

OMG - so much happened in this instalment of the series. It was great to find out a bit more about where Saorsa came from and what her new power was like although I fear that is going to open a whole new set of problems for her. The drama was definitely ratcheting up as the story unfolded further and it definitely ended on a series of cliffhangers that just made me want to scream as I finished the last page of this book in the series. Well written and very easy to feel and empathise with the thoughts and emotions felt by the characters. I definitely enjoyed some of the dramatic moments in this story. Contains some sexual content.

So it is now game on and she just needs to convince him to sell - after all failure is not an option. After a century of a deep sleep dragon shifter, Aaric Drakon is the first one to be awakened and he knows he has to find his mate in order to wake the rest of his kin who are still asleep. He decides to open an outreach centre for his family which should also help him to find her and so he is not going to be distracted by anyone, not even by a feisty real estate agent who’ll try anything to buy his land. At first, this is just a challenge for Olivia, but the client is not very understanding and is starting to terrify her. When everything escalates to a new level she has no alternative but to go to Alaric and tell him everything, which then sweeps her into a centuries-old conflict - just like the enemies want to. Can Alaric save Olivia and can they realise what is staring them in the face?

This was a really nice dragon-shifter story that had plenty of drama and excitement as the old enemy decided to show their hand and make the first attempt on the Drakon clan. This was a great first book in the series and I am looking forward to how it can develop. Contains some sexual content.

Riley Parks is a quiet woman who is more into detail and careful thought before actions, however, when she travels to shifter planet Galaxa, attention is something she is constantly getting - especially from incredibly attractive Jag who sends her body into a hot flush and her mind to scrambled egg whenever he is near. But she is determined to give in to this although she is starting to wonder if a little taste might be ok. Jag Kasaval is a royal prince, warrior and womanizer - but when he sees Riley he sets his sights on her - she has set his world upsidedown and his lion is clawing to claim her - however, when she is so determined to stay away from him, he becomes willing to do anything to get his mate - especially when she turns into a hellcat under her quiet exterior. With a royal wedding and a coronation to plan, Ivy and Jag need to work together plug Ivy is determined not to accept the inevitable. However, when Riley is swept into scandal and then danger that has dragged her away and put her life in the balance, Jag is going to have to find her before it is too late or face the fact that he has lost her forever.

This started off being quite monotonous as we experienced Ivy in denial yet watching Jag all of the time, but it became more interesting as her interest in Jag increased and the danger for her went up many levels. So I really liked her fire and her sass at the end of the book, just not her timidness at the start. Jag was a misunderstood playboy in many ways and it was only when she got to know the mean person that she realised that first impressions are not always correct. Full of drama and danger, I enjoyed the drama near the end of the story and how everything ended up in the end. Well written and easy to feel and understand. There is some sexual content.

Ivy Grimaldi really doesn't like change, but recently there have been a lot of changes in her life the largest of which was when her cousin Cassandra moved away to start a new life. The life changes for her when Gerri Wilder turns up at her door with a letter from her cousin - Cassie wants her to come and visit - especially with a baby on the way. The only problem to this is that Cassie is now living on another planet with her hot shifter mate. Vander Kasval is the king of shifter warrior planet Galaxa and has more than a few problems - the worst of which is that he needs to find a mate in order to stop the brewing civil war which has been made so much harder thanks to a mysterious plague that is affecting only females on his planet. So he very reluctantly agrees to ask matchmaker extraordinaire Gerri Wilder - after all if she can get him and his men matches then his world can be saved. When Gerri arrives she has Ivy and 2 other women with her -they have all agreed to go on a sightseeing trip with Gerri to a different planet to the one Cassie is on while she is resting, it appears that these three sassy women are going to have a blast on Galaxa.

This was a dramatic story that had two threads - the first being the attraction that was building between Ivy and Vander and the second was the mystery of what was happening to the women on Galaxa. It had some sweet tender moments, some drama, some danger and some hot sex. I enjoyed the way that the plot involving the mystery involving the plague on the women was starting to be uncovered, and the role that the three women from Earth played in that. Vander was the typical macho warrior alpha type who was surprisingly sensitive at times too. Ivy was definitely a strong and sassy woman. Well written and easy to read and understand, I loved Gerri's style in the way she set up opportunities for Ivy and Zander to meet and then the way she let everything develop between them - a bit like a good parent. Contains some sexual content.
