Review: The Son of Neptune

The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love Percy Jackson. And Frank. And Hazel. And Tyson. And...I think you get the point, right? Was this book smaller than the first or I just liked it so much I didn't even feel the time pass? Not that I care, I just want to get my hands on the next book and read it in one sitting. Seriously. I don't even need water or food. Just gimme.

Review: The Lost Hero

The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So very good. If I'd known my favorite characters were present in this book I would've grabbed this a long time go. Don't get me wrong, I quite like Jason, Leo and Piper, but Annabeth and Percy are always welcome to show up. I missed them. Anyway, I was totally entranced by this story and can barely wait for the next book. Jason seems a little more focused and intense than Percy ever was and I like the difference. Sets a whole different feel to the story. More adult. More driven. Also much more violence and bigger stakes. I loved it. Piper is pretty cool too and Leo was a total surprise. His thinking and ingeniousness is really something. Great ending.

Review: I Spy Something Bloody

I Spy Something Bloody by Josh Lanyon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Kinda short but sweet. A little over-dramatic but lately I find everything a little over-dramatic so the problem may be mine. Either way, it was an interesting read and I enjoyed it. Although I have no idea where that 2nd sex scene came from. I must have missed a very important step somewhere and simply couldn't find it when I went back. That or my dog ate it. I don't know what the hell was that.

Review: Lust and Other Drugs

Lust and Other Drugs by Saranna DeWylde
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It was merely okay. Too short, fast and I couldn't connect with the couple. The sex was entertaining though.

Review: Fates

Fates by C. Gockel
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I'm actually not sure if I like the new Loki. This one is definitely nicer and more humane sure but I kind of liked his impulsiveness and selfishness. He had a flair and a charisma that drew me in like no one else before so, while I don't dislike Bohdi, I also don't feel the same connection I did with the original Loki. There's still some hints at recklessness there but it's not the same anymore and it's a little disappointing. I kind of hope he manages to get his memories back just so I can see Loki again. I miss him. I did enjoy their adventures in the land of the Norns. Very well done.

Review: Chaos

Chaos by C. Gockel

I honestly hope Loki doesn't stay "dead" for long. It's boring without him and I like him a lot. I am a little upset he destroyed half a city tho.

Review: Monsters : I Bring the Fire Part II

Monsters : I Bring the Fire Part II by C. Gockel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Maybe I'm supposed to be on the side of AOU or whatever they call themselves but I'm actually rooting for Loki and I honestly hope he kicks their asses. Hard. Really, really hard. That Jameson is a real *sshole. Amazingly enough, despite not being present in this book, Thor is kind of leaving me with a better impression of himself through Loki's memories. Perhaps he's not so bad. Anyway...these books are good but way too short.

Review: Base Instincts

Base Instincts by Larissa Ione
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I've read only a couple of these books and they're a hit or miss with me. I adored some but also DNF'ed one of them out of boredom. So I was a little hesitant to read this novella. Fortunately I read it anyway and wasn't disappointed. It was very sweet and hot and I was more than a little curious to learn how this story of a gay Seminus was going to develop. Raze and Slake were an awesome couple and had great chemistry. It was a nice addition to the main series and couples. Short but great read.

Review: Wolves

Wolves by C. Gockel
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

This is surprisingly good. I wasn't expecting much 'cause lately all proclaimed UF novels seem to end up being nothing more than common paranormal romances but, alas, I was wrong. Also seems like most people don't know the difference between one and the other, so it was good to have my exceptions exceeded. I really liked Amy even if she comes across as exceedingly naive most of the time and Loki is definitely a nice change. I hope he keeps being the slightly crazy good guy he's been so far. Thor, on the other hand, has not impressed me. Kind of hard to reconcile this image of him with the all the idealism around him and his father but I'm enjoying it. I always had a thing for Loki. And yes, that was way before Tom Hiddleston entered the picture in Avengers. Anyway, I'm hoping to read the next one soon.
