Review: Crash and Burn

Crash and Burn by Anne Marsh

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



Talk about a crash course. Less than 30 pages in my ereader, that's how long this is. It was sweet, fun and sexy but I totally crashed and burned with that end. Boy, was that disappointing. It was so abrupt I didn't even noticed it before starting reading the credits.

Review: Duncan's Descent

Duncan's Descent by Marie Harte

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



A little over dramatic towards the end but nice enough. Less incomplete than the previous one. This book actually told a nice story from the beginning to the end without messing it up much. I still feel like it could've been better but this was enjoyable and interesting nevertheless. I also liked Duncan a lot more than I liked Ranton. He was all alpha but with a mischievous glint that made everything bearable and funny. Nice ending.

Review: The Dragon's Demon

The Dragon's Demon by Marie Harte

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



Meh. I think I like the overall idea behind the book but the book in itself doesn't do anything for me. The sex was hot and sexy but the rest isn't even worth mentioning. It seems extremely undeveloped and the characters really show it. They are one dimensional and extremely irritating. I really disliked Ranton's personality. He was possessive bordering on obnoxious and abusive. Jentaron seemed like a nice guy but I felt their situation kind of weird. Like "let's have sex but it's a one time deal because you're my guardian and Ranton's mate. I'm only using you to learn" kind of thing. Not to mention how sexist everything was..."I'm your father and you'll do as you're told" and "You're mine Eve. I'm in charge". Seriously? Freaking seriously? She's the daughter of a fallen and she can't even put up a fight? Wow. I felt women's rights fly out the door when I finished reading this. Really.

Review: In Plain Sight

In Plain Sight by Marie Harte

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Fast-paced, romantic and with a smudge of action. Interesting characters. Very different from the previous book. Enjoyable writing and plot. Hot sex all around. Nice end.

Review: Rachel's Totem

Rachel's Totem by Marie Harte

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Thought this would have lots of action but the only action worthy of my attention was the one between the sheets. Can't say I didn't like reading that foursome although I didn't exactly understood the need to have one for her to be marked and shift. Kind of got my hopes up for a relationship between them all...what can I say? I thrive on weird. I did nevertheless liked seeing her with Burke. They were sweet even despite all those alpha pheromones making him act all possessive and jealous which I wasn't very fond of. Overall it was enjoyable but not much to look at.

Review: On the Prowl

On the Prowl by Kaye Chambers

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



1st story:

Not much impressed. It feels undeveloped and confusing. The plot is somewhat interesting but the execution leaves much to be desired and it is a real shame because Aislin is just the type of character I'd have liked to know better. I also liked Det. Rodriguez..oh man. A lick here and there would've been great.

2nd story:

I'd already read it but didn't mind reading it again. Much better than the first. More complete and better written. A real shame the story never went farther.

Review: Phantasmic

Phantasmic by Evie Long

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Ok, so there wasn't really any content in it. No grand story. No big revelation either but it sure as hell was fun to read. It was light, quirky, energetic and incredibly amusing. I can't say I've learned anything because I haven't but I had an amazingly fun time reading this.

Review: Tiger by the Tail

Tiger by the Tail by Kaye Chambers

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



I gotta admit the end kinda left me reeling. It was quite abrupt. Not a bad one though, it was simple but right. I do look forward for the next one.

Review: The Fury

The Fury by Sloan McBride

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Not bad for a first instalment. I can't seem to shake this feeling of unfulfillment though...the book was quite long but there never was a definite end to the story, not even in the romance. Also it was quite weird for Reese to accept everything, I mean, she was always fighting with Dagan but she never actually questioned anything. She just went along. And I know the fury is supposed to be, well, a fury but was it really necessary for them to have sex almost 10 times every night? And for them to only stop having sex when they were being attacked? Really? Seems like 75% of this book are sex scenes. I would think just her presence/touch would be enough to atone some of the symptoms but nope...more sex and she was just fine with it. I wonder how his d*ck didn't fall off. Seriously.

Overall though it was interesting. I truly enjoyed this new world and these new characters. They were funny, sad, passionate, boring, stubborn, compassionate...you name it.

Review: Alrik

Alrik by Carol Lynne

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Very nicely done for a first instalment. The book has a great main story and the characters seem to be incredibly interesting. I'm only sorry it wasn't more developed, it seemed to end rather abruptly. The romance also seemed fast and sudden. I expected maybe a little more difficulty. The abrupt change between sceneries was also a little unsettling and somewhat disturbed the rhythm of the book. Very interesting and enjoyable though.
