Review based on:

Fate’s Legacy by Angela Fristoe
This is a story of Willow an alien living on earth who has no idea what she is, what she is able to do, and about the actual danger she is in as her parents never told her. Plus Liam her protector who was originally supposed to kill her, who does know all about the races.

This is an enchanting story that I found quite addictive and that I was reading it faster and faster as the story progressed. There were times when I have to admit to feeling frustration at the attitudes of both characters (and even the need to give them a damn good slap while telling them to get their act together), but even accounting for that it was a great story that has the promise for a great series in any following books. Well written and very enjoyable.

How to talk to ghosts by Erin Hayes

Lita has always been able to see and talk to ghosts to the point she is more comfortable with them than her father who only cares about power and building a business empire. So when her Uncle Neptune dies her Dad's sole focus is to take over his aquarium no matter who he actually left it to. So Lita has a choice - help her father to get it and take over the world, or help her Uncle's friends who all have their own secrets to get it as per his wishes, and in the process save the world! Can Lita take the pressure and make the right decision?

Wow we had evil, varieties of paranormal and lots of ghosts! And at the centre one sightly overwhelmed woman who literally has the weight of the world on her shoulders. I loved the dynamic between Lita and Ryan. It was well written as I would expect from Erin and addictive from start to finish.

Review: Chronicles of Magic: A Paranormal Magic Boxed Set by K.N. Lee 5 of 5 stars

Chronicles of Magic: A Paranormal Magic Boxed Set by K.N. Lee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I voluntarily reviewed this book and I have not been compensated in any way.

This book contains 10 stories - some full and some novellas that are either magical or paranormal in some way. Overall the book is a great bargain and contains some really good stories - I only found one that I didn't enjoy.

Full Moon Falling - Calinda B
Kara Falko needs to decide on the future - can she save Ace Diamante and save existence? Can she shoot her fiance in the chest to save her own life?

I LOVED this story - it was well written and I loved the twists and turns in the story. Right until the end I had no idea how it was going to finish.

Mirror Mirror - Susan Stec
A story of a sadistic psychopath and a mirror obsession.

I really didn't enjoy this story and just never really understood what was going on half of the time. You might want to skip this one as I felt it brings down the entire collection of books.

Barely Magic - Catherine Vale
Angela Mason works for the Order of Protection, and Cole Avery is a mercenary brought in to help find a missing person.

I LOVED this story - it was well written and kept me dying to know what was going to happen next.

Love Voodoo - Alyssa Breck
Vampire Luca is attracted to Collette after she does a tarot card reading for him. However she is a human - problem is she seems to be the only person who can save him from himself.

I really enjoyed this story. It had a good plot and was well written. It also had some nice details about the characters that made them very real. There was drama at the end and it made for a good finish to the story.

Voodoo & Fate - Tamsin Baker
Chanti is a voodoo priestess and also a healer. After a simple request from a friend can she cope with the draw to a werewolf that she seems unable to resist?

Wow - LOVED this story. The story had plenty of twists and turns and a kick ass voodoo practitioner at the centre of it. It was well written and I was completely swept away by the story and what would happen next.

Shadows - RaeAnne Hadley
Tabitha Reynolds feels a shiver up her spine when near Shadow Demons. She is also alone because her family died when she was younger and she is so terrorised by the demons (that caused their deaths) that she avoids people and relationships (especially after they killed her first boyfriend too). Justin Murphy has a similar story as he is all alone after his family were killed. He can also see them but has made it his life's work to find a way to kill them. After a chance encounter they meet and discover that they are not unique as there is someone else who can see them too.

An intriguing tale of demons and special abilities which I really liked and thought it was a clever story well written - I just need to look for the next book in the series as I HAVE to know what happens next.

Darken - Angela Fristoe
Gavin walker is reeling from the death of his fiancee two years ago. His is now working with his late fiancee's best friend Coraline Evan's which is making it harder but Cora is now trying to keep him alive even if it negatively affects her.

This story had lots of dark actions with dodgy motives in the world of scientific experiments. It was well written and a nice story to read with a few twists and turns to add to the mix.

Demon of Envy - Jennifer Lynne
Thor has been given a second chance as a human and hopes to find redemption so he can get back to where he should be - but can he manage it?

This was a lovely little story about envy and what it can do to you. It was well written and I really wanted them both to be able to have a HEA. Contains adult scenes.

The last of the Jinn - K.N.Lee
Trust no one - not even the man you created - is the lesson the goddess Malah learns in this story.

This was a dramatic story of love and loss. It was well written and I could feel her pain and despair as she went through all those events in her life.

Slow Burn - Amy Lee Burgess
Duke is a firefighter who can control fire and Erin is a banshee. Can he handle her when she has visions of violent deaths?

This is a lovely story about two people with special skills merged into a story of love. I liked the real feeling to all the characters and relationships between them

Winter Souls: an Adult Paranormal Witch Romance: Sector 10 by Angela Fristoe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Elora has been stuck on an island with Niobe who is the Ice Witch. She takes an opportunity to escape when the witch dies to find Mason, but he is not the same man she left behind all those years ago as the Ice Witch took his soul when she took Elora so he works as a guard protecting the sector from the Ravagers is a cold and non-emotional way (after all with no soul what is there to feel apart from physical things like lust or pain?).

When Elora returns she is shocked at how he is and so she becomes determined to get his soul back for him. However to do that they have to get the help of a giant and go into the Underworld - something no one has returned from in the past.

I loved this story. It was very clearly written and I could feel empathy for both Elora and Mason at different times over their troubles and interactions. I was definitely routing for them in the end and just wanted him to get his soul back and for them both to have a chance at some happiness in their lives. I love the books in the Othala Witch collection and this was not a disappointment.
