Review: The Vampire's Captive: A House Of Immortals Vampire Romance Novel by Sofia Storm by Kathrin Hutson by Rebecca Hamilton 5 of 5 stars

The Vampire's Captive: A House Of Immortals Vampire Romance Novel The Vampire's Captive: A House Of Immortals Vampire Romance Novel by Sofia Storm by Kathrin Hutson by Rebecca Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Arietta Heron is the prized blood slave of a cruel master who is the Vampire King for Nevada that spends her “free” time longing for freedom. Then one night a strange but ancient vampire kidnaps her and changes everything that she knows of serving one master and one master alone. A Viking takes what he wants and every vampire around wants a taste of Bjorn’s new prize. In the past he fell for a blood slave and it almost ruined him and so he is determined not to make the same mistake again, but having found Arietta she has turned his immortal world upside down and he just can’t help himself. Fulling claiming her is a dangerous game and with a continent of dangerous vampires on his heels, he needs to gain her submission to protect that which does not belong to him while hoping that her unbreakable spirit doesn’t get them killed in the process. 

OMG – I was addicted to this story from the start to the finish. I was completely transfixed by the relationship between Arietta and Bjorn as well as her reckless determination to gain information even if it was dangerous to do so. Their dynamic was almost hypnotic as I was wondering what was going to happen next. It all ends on a bit of a cliffhanger and so I just cannot wait for the next book in the series to be published so that I can follow their story. Easy to read, understand and very easy to sense/feel their thoughts and emotions. Definitely recommended.

Review: Reign of Shadows: A Slow Burn Paranormal Witch Romance by Veronica Shade by Leigh Anderson, by Rebecca Hamilton 5 of 5 stars

Reign of Shadows: A Slow Burn Paranormal Witch Romance (Academy of the Damned Book 6)Reign of Shadows: A Slow Burn Paranormal Witch Romance by Veronica Shade by   
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Witch Madison and her group of friends are about to face the true source of Camille's power - a dark god called Marduk who intends to become the most powerful deity ever. Their hope to stop it all was their goddess Hectate but after a year of being captive by Marduk, she is very weak and only just alive. So Madison needs to conspire with Vampire's and locate a sacred plant in a last-ditch effort in order to bring Hectate back to consciousness. As she passes each obstacle one shattering truth becomes clear - in order to kill an immortal Madison will need some help from the other side of the veil. Time is running out, and the entire supernatural world is on the brink of destruction. To save the Soule family once and for all, Madison must come to terms with the past, battle through Hell itself, and make the ultimate sacrifice: her own soul.

OMG - this was an explosive finish to the series which took us on a rollercoaster through Hell, New Orleans and even the sewers as Madison did whatever she had to do to rid the supernatural world of the ultimate evil. Her friends were her rock throughout it all but they all went through some analysis of their relationship with each other. I loved the way Madison did everything she could to avoid killing but at the end did what was needed for the greater good even if she had to pay a huge personal cost. There were times when I was heartbroken but everything seemed to work out, even if I would have preferred a slightly different result. Well written and easy to read and understand.

Review: Queen of Legacy by Veronica Shade by Rebecca Hamilton 5 of 5 stars

Queen of LegacyQueen of Legacy by Veronica Shade by 
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Madison is convinced that saving the Soule Coven starts with rescuing the one statue from the academy grounds she had been communicating with but it seems that the grounds are impenetrable at the moment. Add to that the fact that they are hunting for Madison and it makes what they need to do so much harder. So she risks everything to reach an urban legend in Salem to ask for help. As part of that quest, she unveils some family secrets that she had never wanted to know and so decides to go into a den for ancient Celtic gods and goddesses in order to convince them to help her. However, having risked her own life to get help will it be enough to go up against those at La Voisin?

This installation of the story was definitely filled wall to wall with surprises, danger, drama and excitement. Certainly some of the surprises I definitely didn't see coming and it put a whole new perspective on some earlier aspects of the story. The book had a rather dramatic finish and so I really can't wait to find out what happens next. Well written, it was easy to read and understand. I felt completely invested in the story and so really need to know what happens next.

Review: Curse of Stone by Veronica Shade by Leigh Anderson by Rebecca Hamilton 4 of 5 stars

Curse of Stone (Academy of the Damned, #1)Curse of Stone by Veronica Shade by  by 
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Madison has done her best to avoid using her powers as a witch, but she is forced to use them as a deadly storm hits suddenly and she needs to save her best friend - however, it accidentally kills her boyfriend and so she is determined to go to La Voisin School for Young Witches in order to find out how to use her powers correctly (and safely). She knows being behind her classmates is going to be a struggle but she never expected that one of those would be the murder of one of her classmates. Her main thought is if the school is spelled for safety and witches are unable to kill, how did Giselle get murdered and by who? Madison resolves to find how it happened and who was responsible especially as Giselle is currently haunting her. Added to that mystery the biggest one seems to be related to the statues - if only she could ask them.

This was definitely a good book to start the series out as it laid out a lot of the background and key pieces of information that I'm sure will be expanded on as the story is enlarged on in subsequent books. I liked the crazy dynamic between Madison and her mother which could be recognisable by some families even if it didn't involve drugs. Well written, it was easy to understand and I felt invested in Madison and her current car crash of a life. The next instalment will hopefully expand on the key elements of the story as well as introduce new ones.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Madison, Krista, and Ivy find that there’s one way to break the stone statues curse of La Voisin School for Witches, and the secret lies within something called the Soule family book of shadows. However, to locate it they need to perform some blood magic using three not so simple to procure ingredients - the bones of a dead animal, the hair of a drowned girl, and what appears thee simplest an athame made of rubies and gold. The last one actually turns into one of the most dangerous which they never predicted. As Madison gathers the last item needed to perform the spell, she falls into a trap—one set by someone she once trusted an in the process of this she’s finally discovered where the missing students have gone...only to realize she might be the next to disappear. Can they get to the bottom of it all and survive?

I loved this story. It was a major mystery wrapped in history and magic that highlighted a mass of new information for Madison and her friends to discover and process. Each time they were convinced they had made headway another complication reared it's head for them to find a solution and move forward. I loved the hints of involvement for various people some of which I would expect to not be involved and some who definitely will be involved. There were plenty of surprises, twists and turns as they navigated the mysteries and information that they discovered along the way. They clearly had a way forward by the end of the story I just hoped that they would manage to survive everything that was coming at them and find out what to do next. Well written it was very enjoyable.

My rating:

Archaeologist Olivia Perez and PITO Agent Kael are back trying to find the fourth key while also staying alive from the powers that evil dark mage Vehrin is unleashing across the world as he does what he can to beat them to it and complete his goal of destroying life on the world as we know it As Olivia is the only one who can use the fourth key to stop him it becomes a desperate race as they search for the key while finding more out about the source of Olivia's powers as well as the curse that she carries within her. As a fate that Olivia is not prepared to accept is shown from her past, the war comes to a head on a long-forgotten mountain top - can Olivia prevail and destroy Vehrin or as part of it will she then succumb to eternal damnation?

Wow - this was a great book to draw all of the threads in the series together and come to a conclusion to the series. There were a great number of choices that Livie had to make and with the help of Kael's grounding presence she was able to make all of the right decisions and not give in to the curse. I loved the way their relationship finally had the resolution that we all wanted them to have and that neither side had to become anything that they were not. This was full of danger, drama, excitement, plots and decisions that we were all taken on with the characters as they worked their way through the various issues they encountered. Well written, this was easy to understand and it was also easy to empathise with the characters and live through the events as they did themselves. You need to read the whole trilogy as it will not make much sense if you try to read the last one without the previous ones.

Wow - this was a great continuation of the trilogy which moved the story along nicely while leaving lots of outstanding questions as well as tasks for them to do in the final book. I loved the way their relationship developed as well as the results of that development. The situations they found themselves in were credible to the story and well written so that I could see and feel them as I read the story.

Archaeologist Olivia Perez is at what could be the dig of a lifetime when she does her thing and wanders off the beaten track looking for treasures. She finds a key which she pockets and takes home with her not realising it is cursed until she suffers from bad visions and decides to bury it somewhere nearby jut to get rid of it - the worst thing she could have done as it is then taken by an evil mage who is hell-bent on doing evil things with it. She suddenly realises the mistake after a an ill-tempered shifter agent from the Paranormal Intelligence and Tracking Organization (PITO) turns up demanding it back. So they are forced to work together to try and find the missing key which takes them on a twisted journey of magic and paranormal beings - will they find the key before it is too late?

This was a great start to the series that has completely got me hooked. The two main characters were very believable and it was easy to get invested in their quest to find the key and also what or who Olivia actually is. I loved the developing relationship between them and I hope it later books in the story will have them become more intimate and invested in a relationship. Well written and easy to understand.

Eventually he arrives at Kerina's begging fo rher help which is finally agrees to do so they embark on a dangerous journey across the sea to get the Legacy Stone off the demon Tua and his 7 children. However there is a massive secret that is lying there between his - Kermina isn't a mage and as time passes she is finding it increasingly difficult to confess the truth and correct his assumption

Wow - I absolutely loved this story which had so many dangers that the brave/clever woman and the fearless siren faced. I felt so bad for them both as time passed and the correction of the assumption about her skills became harder and harder to achieve. The dangers faced by them as they faced Tua and his 7 children were all quite difficult and well handled by the intrepid twosome. I loved the way the story ended and the final result and that definitely make the story feel so much better to have such a happy ending. Well written it was a very enjoyable book that I found very hard to put down.

The Forever Girl The Forever Girl by Rebecca Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sophia Parsons is 22 and a practising Wiccan. She works as a waitress and is a local outcast under the suspicion of involvement in local murders (which she was not) but all she cares about is stopping a static she hears all of the time. She tries to stop it with a spell but it changes to be voices instead (which is even more distracting). She meets a new friend called Charles and falls for him as he starts to help her investigate the hanging of her ancestor. She soon discovers that her survival depends on not asking too many questions and staying off the radar of the council of immortals however it seems she crossed that a long time ago so in order to survive and keep those she loves safe she will have to embrace her true nature and perform some dark magic as part of a fight to the death.

This is a mixed story - some of it is great and I really enjoyed it, but some of it was a bit tedious and felt like too much of an aside. I know that it was necessary background of her ancestor and the events that happened but in parts it was a bit long and I got a bit bored - I think it could have been a bit shorter and so kept my attention better. On the whole it was well written and a very enjoyable story. I was certainly pulling for Sophia and Charles and desperately hoping they would succeed and find a way to be together forever.

Kelia Starling is pretending to be Sightless which means she is a servant washing dishes, mopping floors - you get the picture. While she does all of that she is investigating the murder of her father by the Society and is also doing a favour for Drew Knight to find a woman called Wendy Parsons who they believe is a captive of the Society. Then she discovers that her father had set up a forced breeding programme between Shadows and the Sightless and it appears she has just been enrolled in it.

This certainly had plenty of drama, intrigue, twists and turns as Kelia navigated her way through all the theories, facts and events to find the truth. I found myself really gunning for her and wanting her to find all the answers she was looking for. Clearly told and well explained it was easy to understand everything although I do think you have to read the first book in the series first - this is not one that you can pick up from a later book.

A great start to the series and I can't wait for the next instalment of the story.

Review: Fallen Halos by Erin Hayes by Rebecca Hamilton 5 of 5 stars

Fallen Halos Fallen Halos by Erin Hayes and Rebecca Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The sector is cursed and everyone falls into a Hibernation after just 4 hours of exertion. Rahym runs a lodge so people can rest near to the Door to Hell before they cross the Karakum Desert - otherwise they run the risk of being caught by the fire that suddenly appears or the demonlings that enjoy killing people. He is also half insane after his wife and daughter were killed by fire and hears voices/talks to himself. Then Nakir, old friend and angel in charge of the Halos rebel group appears at his door with a new plan to break the curse. With Nakir is Jennet - friend from Rahym's childhood who disappeared and now seems to be both alive and in possession of witch powers which is being seen as the difference in this attempt at the curse. Can Rahym bring himself to do one more trip into Hell and show them the way?

Wow - an epic tale of bravery, determination, love, loss and passion. The story was very well told, everything was well described and the emotions and feelings were clear and easy to pick up and feel. I love the work of these two authors but the combination of the two was exponentially better and was addictive.

Brooke Chandler has no memory of her history and her identity and is working as a servant girl scrubbing floors. Attempting to escape she ends up in the land of Faerie where nothing is as it seems as she ends up with her father - The Winter King. She hen starts to rediscover her past life and about all the allies and enemies waiting for her to return. Now she has an impossible decision to make - stay with the enemies who want her dead or return and confront the enemies who want her tried and jailed for murder.

This was a great third book in the series and filled in a whole series of gaps about Brooke and her background that we could only guess about in the previous books. It was well written (as you would expect from Jasmine Walt) and you could empathise with the emotions felt by all of the characters. I feel I understand Brooke a lot better and that can only mean the next book will be even more enjoyable.

Julia Fairweather's coven has been at war with Roman Blackwood's for generations. However love takes no notice of little things like that. To make things worse Julia's coven have decided to cement their domination over Roman's, she will have an arranged marriage to a warlock from another family.

Roman is determined to keep his distance and Julia is struggling to accept that she has to do her family duty and marry a stranger. Can they resist the pull between them, or will their families tear the area apart in their war?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an anthology of books and I am just reviewing one for now and will come back to update it when I read the rest.

London by J C Andrijeski

This is the prequel to her Allie's War series and sets some of the scene for what and why some things happen in the first book of the series.

Revik is in London and has a place to live and a job working as a consultant. He is hiding in plain sight as people will know who he is and what he has done. As part of his penance for being a traitor he is there to watch and protect Allie who is in San Francisco from a safe distance.

Allie has no idea what she is and that anyone is watching her, so has a normal life working in a cafe, coping with her alcoholic mother, her crazy best friend Cass whist being protected when he can by her older brother Jon. She meets a guy called Jaden who is an IT guy by day and in a band by night and they start dating.

Can Revik keep her safe without going to far to protect her, and can he keep the detachment he needs to do his job properly?

I loved this book. It sets the scene very nicely and it would be very easy for new readers to start reading the first book in the series after reading this. Having read the series I found it nice to read about before and maybe join a few dots together in my head about when things were that way and how it started.

Fire by L.B. Gilbert

The four elements are all women who are tasked to bring back order to the world by finding those that are in danger of or have tipped the balance and either correcting their path or destroying them to neutralise the threat. This means they are all strong and powerful and use their own element to achieve their aim - this is a book about the Fire element (Diana).

Diana is tired and jaded - she is frustrated with her focus on the bad guys (either correcting or destroying) and not in helping the innocents that have been affected (and most of the time are already dead).

A child from a previous case has gone missing and Diana has decided she will find her - only to find out another child has also gone missing. The Mother that controls the elements wants her to bring down the coven of back witches that has taken them whist doing another job. She then meets an unlikely helper and that turns into a friendship as part of the adventure.

I love the premise of this series of books - it is so nice to see women being the powerful ones and able to take on the bad guys. I could feel empathy for Diana at times and there was a lot of action involving her battles to take bad people down. It was well written and everything was well described. The book finished with me wanting to know more and eager to read the next book in the series.

This is the second book in the Shadows of Salem series - I recommend reading the first before reading this book.

Detective Brooke Chandler now knows what she is but has no idea how to use her powers. Unfortunately she needs a teacher and that falls to Maddox although sh is unsure if she can trust him as he is a fae lord who expects her to pay for her training by helping him to find some artefacts. Even worse for her, word has got out out her and her power and everyone in the supernatural world seems to want a piece of her. This then gives her another problem - who can she trust?

I really enjoyed this book and found it more enjoyable that the first one. It covered a lot more areas and had a lot more action that I could relate to. Great book and definitely recommended.
