The Witch's Gift by C.C. Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Candela's aunt Fenella is driving her mad keep trying to set her up with a very boring warlock, and so to escape the situation she goes out and meets werewolf Blake in a bar. He is the hottest man she has ever met and she decides to hook up with him and ease the pain he is feeling. Problem is can she give him up after the one night??

This was a sweet novella that had lots of passion. It was lovely to see how she resisted everything but had to face the truth of the situation in the end. I'm sure going forward there were plenty of fireworks between them. Well written and very enjoyable - it was easy to understand and relate to the characters.

** Please note this story was originally published as The Witch and the Wolf story in the A Very Werey Christmas anthology.

Review: Forevermore by C.C. Wood 5 of 5 stars

Forevermore by C.C. Wood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ava Amaris is a witch and Ewan Macgrath is a vampire with a bizarre similarity - they both woke up one day cursed with no idea who they were and where they came from. Both have done their best to make a life for themselves. They have to join forces to defeat a powerful witch who appears to know everything about them (including who they were) and is determined to destroy them and take their powers. They also seem to be connected, Ewan feels that Ava is his mate, and they need to work together to remove their curse - even though there is a risk if they go too fast it could destroy them.

Wow - there was just so much drama and excitement in this story. I couldn't put it down, read far too late into the night and found myself reading faster and faster as I was dying to know what happened next. Well written and I could put myself into their places and feel all their thoughts and emotions. Great story and delightful characters that I could get behind and root for.

Review: Souls Unchained by C.C. Wood 5 of 5 stars

Souls Unchained by C.C. Wood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rhys Carey spent centuries unable to trust anyone and hiding from his evil twin brother, but now he is dead he wants a home and love from the right someone for him, but he is saddled with the self-loathing that he has always lived with. Savannah Baker is a lonely empath trapped in her own small world with just one friend. She dreams of happiness and someone to love. So when Rhys moves in across the street they have an attraction that neither believed was possible. However there is danger on the horizon and both Savannah and Rhys is in peril from the darkness that unknown to him has been stalking him for years.

I was so so happy that Rhys finally found the person who is the other half of his soul. I loved the twists and turns in the story and the introduction of new characters that I suspect will be the focus of the next story in this series. The character Ava is definitely someone I'd love to have as my big sister and also makes me think of author A K Michaels. The story was as per usual from this author was well told and I could feel and sense all the hopes and dreams of the characters. It was carefully and sensitively told and that made for a very enjoyable book.

However being in close quarters with her he suddenly realises that he wants more than friendship with her. Can they get to the bottom of the mystery and can they take a chance with each other

I loved this story. It involved some of the characters from the Bitten series and it was nice to see them in a different story and different setting. I enjoyed the will they, won't they aspect of the story and the drama involved in both the unfinished business between Chloe and her childhood pack, and the potential relationship between Chloe and Lach. Everything was well written and I felt as if I could really understand and relate to all of the emotions in the story.

Bite the Bullet by C.C. Wood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

Shannon was an independent woman with a job she loved - then the prophesy came along and she and her friends are all in hiding. Now, along with her friends, she is in hiding so that Cornelius (leader of the Faction) can't kill them all and absorb their power so he can control the world. Then she gets the chance to become bait and work with a 500 year old vampire called Asher Leroux who has made Shannon's soul complete.

Just WOW - I loved this story and the dramatic conclusion to the series although I felt that there was more that could have been said about the various friends, their partners and what happens next. I guess I just didn't want the story to end. It was well written, I could feel the emotions and feelings that the characters were going through and empathise with them. Please write a Bitten #6.

Love Bites by C.C. Wood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

Ricki is very cautious of having a relationship with anyone as she is the product of a home where her father was completely incapable of fidelity. Calder is a shifter with piercing green eyes and they seem to see right through Ricki. They have what she assumes is a one night stand then she does everything she can to avoid him. Then the world gets dangerous and she can't get away from him.

I loved this story. We all need a Calder in our life with his lovely green eyes and his devotion to the woman who he knows is his - if only she would accept that too. The story was well written and worked seamlessly into the whole series and further developments in the story.

Ricki is human and has recently had a painful break-up from a cheating ex but wants (for the first time in months) to flirt with someone who gives her tingles in the right place. However she goes from hot fling to heartbreak in the one night.

It might only be a novella, but I loved this story as it fit very well into the series. It was full of drama and excitement as any story with shifters/vampires if likely to be. It was well written and everything was well explained and I could empathise and relate to all the feelings and emotions experienced by the characters.

Bewitched, Bothered, and Bitten by C.C. Wood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

Kerry is a witch that has a connection to vampire Finn that she is doing everything she can to fight against - if only she could stop being consumed constantly by thoughts and dreams about him. Will her heart or her mind win on this issue? Will she go with her coven and ignore him or pursue something with Finn and lose the coven? She then discovers that the supernatural underworld are on the brink of war and the sides are already taken.

I loved this story. It was full of drama and emotions with no clear path until the story had progressed further. There were some twists and turns just to remind you that you hadn't really worked it all out. It was well written and everything was clear. It was heartening to see the love between the friends and their mates that transcended race and accepted standards.

Review: Once Bitten, Twice Shy by C.C. Wood 5 of 5 stars

Once Bitten, Twice Shy by C.C. Wood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

Until Ivie and her best friend Donna were kidnapped by vampires 6 months ago she had no idea that they really existed. Since then Donna has taken up with a very hot Scottish vampire called Conner and has even been turned by him. Ivie still has nightmares and can't face vampires but as she knows them is comfortable with Donna and her fiance Conner (yes they are getting married)

Alexander Dimitriades (Lex) is tall, dark, handsome and gives Ivie tingles in all the right places. However Ivie is concerned about giving up her humanity to be with him as well as the whole drinking/donating process which just terrifies her after the kidnapping ordeal. As hard as she is fighting it Ivie can feel herself falling in love with him. However they then have to quell a vampire uprising who want to kill other vampires and turn humans into their slaves. What does a girl have to do to have a quiet life?

I loved this story. It was a vampire love story with the addition of some BDSM. The path to true love never runs smoothly and this was certainly the case for Ivie and Lex. It was as usual for this author well written and everything was clear and easy to understand. I liked the way the story was setting up what could possibly happen in the future, however I would love to know what happens for Lex and Ivie in the future too.

How C.C. Wood's Bitten series began .......

Alaunus and Aveta are drawn together and are so focused on their shared passion that they miss the darkness stalking them.

Alaunus is poisoned and as he lies on his deathbed Aveta goes to the god and goddess looking for their help to save him. After receiving help she creates new magic to save him however this new magic will not be good for future of the world.

This helped to set the scene and was a lovely story of love and evil and their unfortunate effects. It was well written and enjoyable.

Review: Bite Me C.C. Wood 5 of 5 stars

Bite Me by C.C. Wood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Donna Perry had the perfect life - a great job in advertising and a nice apartment. Then everything came crashing down and she was living in a small apartment and working as a cocktail waitress - plus she was having serious issues not hating all of the male species. Then she met Conner Savage - gorgeous guy and very addictive - just one small problem - he is a Vampire. Is he mad or do they really exist? Can she stay in the supernatural culture with Conner or leave and go live a normal life? (and hey what is normal anyway??)

This story was a bit slow to get going but it grew on me and before I knew it I was hooked as I started to read it faster and faster. Well written and a good start to the series - I just want to know what happens to them next now.
