Review: Taming The Vampire by Mandy M. Roth, JC Andrijeski and others 5 of 5 stars

Taming The Vampire by Mandy M. Roth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a review just for the book Black Blood by JC Andrijeski as I have not read the rest of the books in this anthology yet.

Black Blood - JC Andrijeski

Quentin Black was kidnapped by vampires and and even though he is home he has not been the same, which his wife Miriam Fox (Miri) finds difficult. He has not really told her everything that went on yet but his having bad dreams and she feels powerless to help him unless he tells her more. All she knows is that he wants to rescue some friends he made while in captivity and kill all vampires, however life has more complications for them to sort out before they can get to doing either of those two things.

This was a great next chapter to the Quentin and Miri story and was a continuation of the story that was started in the book Black And Blue (Quentin Black Mystery #5) It was well written and I now want/need to know what happens next.

Review: Shadow Marked by Jasmine Walt and Rebecca Hamilton 5 of 5 stars

Shadow Marked by Jasmine Walt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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.

Review: The Billionaire's Sub by M.S. Parker 4 of 5 stars

The Billionaire's Sub by M.S. Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hanna Breckenridge moves to LA after graduation to work for and live with her older sister. When helping her sister at an event, billionaire Cross Phillips sees Hanna and seems to be very interested in her and gives her his business card. However when she mentions Cross it to her sister, she is told to stay away from him as he is guaranteed to break her heart.

This story is very dramatic with lots of fast paced action that had me reading the book faster and faster as it went along. It was well written and I understood all the aspects of the story. It's kind of a mixture between 50 shades, an action film and a standard billionaire romance. Be aware it contains BDSM and sex.

Review: Alchemy (Sector Nine) by Noree Cosper 5 of 5 stars

Alchemy (Sector Nine) by Noree Cosper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Zoe Delarey is an alchemical person who was created by her father doing something that is forbidden. This means she has hidden her entire life. Her father is suspected of braking lawa so the sector Regent is coming for him. He immediately puts her into her stasis chamber to keep her hidden and safe.

She is most surprised to have a gorgeous man called Bastian wake her up who wants to take her to a rebel area as a prisoner - however with the Witches Council looking for her she is forced into taking a chance on Bastian as her protector and saviour.

Zoe finds it all very new and strange being in the real world as she has been hidden so had a very sheltered life. She has to learn some very hard lessons if she is going to survive this whole experience and hopefully rescue her father. She also discovers that the Regent is not doing a good job of protecting the sector from the Ravagers and that maybe she can help to save everyone.

A really great book that was very well written and very easy to see and feel everything that was happening.

Review: The Dark Paradise Trilogy Box Set by Heather C. Myers 5 of 5 stars

The Dark Paradise Trilogy Box Set by Heather C. Myers
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Awaken: Book 1 of The Dark Paradise Trilogy Book 1
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is centred around the struggle between good and evil and the impending war between the two. The main three characters are all friends at school who are mixed in this war that is coming in different ways. In this book, two of the three have a love interest which might not work out as you would like (read it and you'll understand).

I found it a little weird when it went back a few times to tell the same part of the story from the other person's viewpoint, but overall I really enjoyed it and became addicted and ended up finishing it when I should have been doing something else. I'm looking forward to finding out what happens in book two - I need to know how some things have worked out and what happens next

Catalyst: Book 2 of The Dark Paradise Trilogy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Andie Shepard has moved on from all the rumours and innuendo about her and the CEO (Jack) of her previous internship and is now doing an internship at another employer. However her new boss is illegally funding an act that could be detrimental to Black Wing so she needs to encounter Jack sooner than she would want.

Also Keirah has disappeared again and Noir has escaped - Andie suspects they are together but has no idea if she went willingly with him or not.

There seems to be a battle building and Andie seems to be in the middle of it all.

You need to read the first book in this series before reading this one. I thought this built onto the story very well and felt that I understood the characters a lot better by the end of this book. Definitely recommended.

Sacrifice: Book 3 of The Dark Paradise Trilogy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Keirah shows up at Andie's doorstep, asking Jack for help to find Noir. However at the same time Jack's new business partner (who is also his former romantic partner) is involving herself in the animal shelter, yet insists on Jack being there too, Reese then drops a bombshell on Andie, and the DA is doing everything he can to put the Black Wing in prison.

This book draws the whole story together and works towards a conclusion. There are so many things going on at the same time it all gets a little crazy hence my 4 rating for this book. As always it is well written and everything is clear bu as the action picks up I almost got lost in all the streams of story that were being pulled together.

Review: The Krinar Captive by Anna Zaires 5 of 5 stars

The Krinar Captive by Anna Zaires
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this book. I was captivated by the relationship between Emily and Zaron and lets be honest we all need a gorgeous guy who calls us angel. Definitely recommended. However we need more of these as they are so good.

Review: Dark Elements (Sector Eight) by L.J. Swallow 5 of 5 stars

Dark Elements (Sector Eight) by L.J. Swallow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Set in the future, this is the story of sector eight where the Regent who maintains the shield to keep the Ravagers out is inherited along the male line of a family of powerful witches. In this case there are two brothers - Mattias is the eldest and very peaceful and Alaric is the youngest and very cruel and sadistic. Bizarrely Alaric is the Regent as his personality was more pleasing to their father.

Cora is a human Scion and her fate is to be married to a witch, but she is not prepared to surrender to her fate as she knows that if she was to be married to the Regent she would die within a year or in childbirth. She wants to escape and make her own life.

She meets Ty (Mattias) before she knows who he is and starts to have an attraction to him. Unfortunately when Alaric realises this he chooses her as his wife. Now she is caught between the two and her drive and fight may be the only things that can save her.

I loved this book. It contained lots of intrigue and surprises as the story unfolds and the battle between the three main characters. It is very well written and I could feel myself being caught up in the story and the drama.
