“It’s a new world, brother. And we, the downtrodden, are taking it back.” Dream Warrior continues the momentum from the previous book, One Silent Night, and further propels our characters to war. The main character is the Titan, Cratus. He has been cast out of Olympus for defying Zeus’ order to kill a baby thousands of years ago, […]
“Grudges seldom hurt anyone except the one bearing them.” Stryker has been a thorn in my heroes’ side for a long time, so I was skeptical when I saw he was going to be the main romantic lead in one of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark-Hunter novels. In the previous novels, I wasn’t a fan of the villain […]
“Life isn’t finding shelter in the storm. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.” I’ve been waiting to read this book from the very moment Acheron was first introduced as a character. While Kenyon would drop little hits about him and his past in each of the previous thirteen books, she never gave you enough […]
The December book of the month for Mocha Girls Read was Holiday Temptation by Donna Hill, Farrah Rochon, and K. M. Jackson. This novel features three short love stories set during the Christmas holiday. Though each was different, I found them all to be predictable and the writing deteriorated from the first story to the last. Holiday Temptation did not tempt […]
The final installment in J. R. Ward’s The Bourbon Kings series tied up all the loose ends, solved a murder mystery, and gave the characters the endings they deserved. The novel was an engrossing read that I found difficult to put down, despite me wanting it to never end. J. R. Ward captivated me with the Dallas like shenanigans […]
“Life is a tapestry woven by the decisions we make.” Since I’m getting these books from the library via Overdrive, I accidentally read three of the books out of order. Kiss of the Night is the fifth book in Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark-Hunter series and follows Dance with the Devil. In this novel, Wulf (The Viking) is forced to protect Cassandra despite their people […]
“I think infatuation is like a garden. If tended and cared for, it grows into love. If neglected or abused it dies. The only way to have eternal love is to never let your heart forget what it’s like to live without it. My obsession with Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark-Hunterverse continues with the sixth book in the series, Night […]
“I don’t suffer from my insanity — I enjoy every minute of it.” When Zarek was first introduced in Night Embrace, Sherrilyn Kenyon really made him a memorable character. He was brought in as a Hunter gone bad, but she added many depths to his character that made him someone I was interested in learning more about. Dance […]
I started reading Sherrilyn Kenyon’s paranormal romance novels set in her Dark-Hunterverse this month, and am really enjoying them. Since this universe is comprised of novels from seven different series, I’ve been borrowing them from the library, which often means I have to get on a waitlist for the next installment. Luckily, that didn’t happen with […]
I bought Hard Ever After the day it was released, as I was majorly into the Hard Ink series, but for some strange reason never read it. Now, I’m glad I didn’t as the book appears to take place after the events in the first Raven Riders book. In this novella, Nick Rixey and Becca Merritt are finally tying the knot. However, […]
