Changeling by Debbie Herbert
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Witch Skye works at a store called The Green Fairy and strange things are happening there when she starts to find dead fairies. Kheelan is a changling who was raised by fairies and is trying to find hope in working towards getting freedom from the Fae and sees Skye as a a way of escaping them - as long as he doesn't let any developing feelings for her distract him. When Kheelan explains that she is actually half fairy and has some hidden powers she finds it hard to take him seriously and has to struggle to try and master the two sides of herself. With the approach of Samhain (Halloween) can she claim her heritage, Kheelan's love and restore order between the Seelie and Unseelie in Fairy?

Lots and lots of action and drama in this story. It helps if you read the previous one in the series but it is still possible to enjoy it if you don't. Well written and lots of twists and turns in this story that I really enjoyed.

Review: Corey by Dale Mayer 5 of 5 stars

Corey by Dale Mayer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Corey gets a call from someone from way back in his past needing help but it appears a lot has happened in the past 12 years - both have moved on but Angela is in the middle of a bitter custody battle and very nasty divorce. She may have been married to Greg for 7 years but it is only now that she really understands exactly what he is like and it is not at all nice. Even worse she grabbed some photos of documents as a kind of "insurance" the last time she was in his house which might end up getting her killed. Can Corey help keep her alive as well as rescue her son from his evil father?

So much drama and danger in this story. Corey must have been knocked sideways seeing her again and finding out about her son but he took it all in his stride and handled it like an absolute gent. I loved Corey as a character and I think we could all do with him in our lives taking care of us. Dramatic story with lots of twists and turns which was well written and easy to understand and empathise with.

Review: Charmed and Dangerous by Debbie Herbert 5 of 5 stars

Charmed and Dangerous by Debbie Herbert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Callie Bradford returns home from exile and falls for James MacLauren - problem is she is a witch and is struggling to keep her magic a secret from him. However it gets so much worse when her father (a rogue warlock) will get his coven to kill anyone who stops her from joining them and taking part in their dark magic. However James also has a secret - he is an immortal and he really doesn't need to get tied up with a watch who could bind and imprison him. Can they work together to survive when covens and immortals are in a battle let alone when the alternative is either death or domination by black magic?

Wow - so many twists and turns in this story you will never be bored. I loved the characters as they were very real and believable. I really loved that Callie was a strong woman who was not shy to take or ask for whatever she wanted. James was a lovely guy and I could completely understand why he was so captivated by Callie and why the perceived risks of associating with her were not enough to stay away. Everything was clear and very easy to understand. I definitely enjoyed this story and can't wait to find out what happens next.

Review: WolfHeart by Konstantina P. 4 of 5 stars

WolfHeart by Konstantina P.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In a time of war between Werewolves and humans with Magic can two people who are destined mates find a place with each other and their own kind? Steven is a Werewolf Prince, and Cora is a Magic Princess. They meet when Steven is sent by his Magic hating sister Jen to kidnap her to try and make her father end the war. Can Steven cope with the resulting events and accept that his home is with Cora and that this is real?

This was an interesting story that definitely had a good base with the battle between the wolves, the magic users, and the love dilemma merged into it. It was well written and I could understand the majority of it well. I did get a little lost in the occasional part of the story but it became clearer as I carried on reading. I have to say there were times I became quite irritated with Steven and just wanted to give him and damn good shake! A good story and definitely worth the read.

Review: The Temptation of Dragons by Chrys Cymri 5 of 5 stars

The Temptation of Dragons by Chrys Cymri
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Penny White is a rural vicar in England who came across a dragon fatally injured in a RTC and was asked to give him the last rites - little did she know that it would signal a change in her life that would turn it upside down. She now has been introduced to a world she only dreamed of, a Gryphon called Morey for a companion and her younger brother returned from New Zealand to contend with. Add to that having to negotiate with a cannibalistic family, running from snail sharks a handsome dragon called Raven and a handsome police inspector who is also a sci-fi junkie and is it any wonder she has to turn to red wine and single malt whisky? Can she navigate this complex parallel world, it's customs and an errant younger brother and keep her sanity?

Wow - this was an amazing parallel world that was carefully crafted by the author in this story. Penny was eccentric but very easy to sympathise with in so many ways as she went from event to crisis to resolution in this roller-coaster ride. I found myself on this journey with her to a crazy new life that I'm sure many of us wishes we could have for real. I loved the way real life would impose itself into the new world she was now part of. Everything is setting the scene for a great love triangle between her, Raven and Peter. I know which one I want her to choose.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ace Bissett is the police detective who picks up the so called paranormal cases and solves them by proving that a human did them. However when she inherits an old house left to her from an elderly aunt she finds that there are 4 winged and fanged hot guys who say she is the only one who can break a curse that is affecting them. Ace feels a connection to them and then starts to see things she can't explain. Everything has to go on hold as she faces a new threat to the city - one that leaves victims with missing bones and no blood. Thankfully the 4 roommates can help her solve the case and help protect each other.

Wow - I loved this new direction with a merge of the paranormal, reverse harem and a detective story. It was full of excitement, action, danger and drama which helped to keep me addicted to the story as it was unfolding. It was well written and everything was clear and easy to understand. I love the concept of this story and can't wait to see how this develops and what happens to them.
