Review: The Vampire Next Door

The Vampire Next Door by Charity Santiago

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


You would think this story would be fairly easy to predict concerning all the romantic vamp books we see everyday but this one preferred a less used approach. Firstly, it's not based either in secrecy or acceptance like most books seem to prefer nowadays. Vamps do not live in secrecy next to humans. They are not known and accepted either. Instead they decided to show up, eat, kill or turn most humans and everything is going to hell. Governments have fallen. It's every man for himself. Pretty bleak if you ask me. But it's not all doom and gloom. Our main character, Kennedy, despite all evidence in contrary actually manages to find love. Slight problem: Reeve is a vampire and she's human. So the chances of him eating her? Pretty damn high. But he doesn't, he saves her instead from another vamp. Amazingly enough...he's actually sweet (and more human than most humans here) and they form a growing friendship that later evolves into something more. For me? Super cute to read. Laugh out loud situations. Mixture between The Walking Dead and Twilight I guess. Not for everyone's taste that's for sure!

Review: Embrace the Mystery

Embrace the Mystery by Caris Roane

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Very well written and I didn't even miss the previous two books. This certainly worked really well without them. The story stands on its own and is very complete. I did gag a little with the sweetness of this HEA. It was pretty and everything and I like HEA's very much but it was too much for me to completely enjoy, specially the part about her pregnancy...too much too soon. They went from bickering constantly to full understanding in two seconds flat. Too perfect to be believable and yes, I know it's quite ironic to be complaining about credibility in a fantasy novel but here I am. Complaining. Alas, it wasn't so bad. I quite enjoyed the rest of the novel. I was really surprised with the length of knowledge and actions this story possessed. I was expecting more fluff and sex. Although there was a lot of that too. The sex I mean.

Review: Dancing with the Devil

Dancing with the Devil by Misty Evans

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Perfect, perfect ending and no, I did not see that final twist coming. Seriously. Not one hint. Very nicely done. Some crumbs along the way to give us a peek but never enough to draw conclusions. I was properly impressed with all the creativity and suspense. This final novel is definitely a must read for everyone who has followed this far into the series. You will not be disappointed.

Review: Dark Moon Lilith

Dark Moon Lilith by Misty Evans

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Can't say I didn't freak out a little when the mark of Cain flared with Luc...luckily it's only activated with magic. Maybe they can work around that. Anyway I'm glad they're together. Adam is supposed to be all chivalrous but I think he's not only a dumb*ss but a dangerous one and she's better with Luc. He may be the Devil but he loves her while Adam seems to be quite unsure of his loyalties. Couldn't even break up with her...such a wuss.

Review: Wicked Souls

Wicked Souls by Misty Evans

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Ah. I like this series more and more. Didn't I say I didn't like Adam? I knew there was a reason! Dumb idiot. Then again, I can't say I'm not happy he screwed up. I sure like Lucifer a whole lot better. Still complaining about the length of this book though...

Review: Jingle Hells

Jingle Hells by Misty Evans

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Am I being a total bitch by wanting her to be with Lucifer instead of Adam? 'Cause I'm sorry but I don't like Adam all that much.

Review: Witches Anonymous

Witches Anonymous by Misty Evans

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Super fun to read, witty, creative and interesting. So small though...I wish it could've been a full novel instead of a short episode. Good characters. Definitely good enough for me to follow.

Review: Requiem for the Devil

Requiem for the Devil by Jeri Smith-Ready

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I can't say I'm not slightly disappointed about this ending but not even that can stun me out of the awesomeness of this book for me. I honestly loved every single piece of it. So much better that I could've ever hoped for and trust me, I hoped a lot. Very beautifully written. Such an amazing view of Lucifer. I can't even manage enough anger about the ending and I simply loath to be deprived of an HEA. I can admit that I would've liked to know if he actually entered Heaven or was finally ended. I think he didn't even cared anymore and I can't really blame him. I cried. A lot even considering this was just a character and not a real person. But it was such a GOOD read. So nicely done. Totally connected with the characters, the story, the love and ultimately Lucifer's pain and sorrow of losing Gianna. Simply perfect. Brilliant.

Review: Alien Love Slave

Alien Love Slave by Emerald Ice

My rating: 0 of 5 stars



For some reason I'm not entirely sure at the moment, I decided to read this book. Boy was I an idiot. Needless to say it wasn't even close to what I expected, again I repeat I have no idea what I was thinking when I got this. Or expecting for that matter. Basically Sydney gets kidnapped and raped by alliens. She's property and has no free will. She'll have sex and procreate with however and whatever "they" want. Anyway I read about half 'till I was so disgusted with this book and myself that I simply couldn't carry on. In fact, I am currently so nauseated that I have to go do something else to take my mind of this. Sorry.

Review: What a Goddess Wants

What a Goddess Wants by Stephanie Julian

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



So, you're telling me that in the end the Involuti preferred to take Tessa's power from her, leaving Charun free to go after other Goddesses instead of dealing with him? I'm sorry, are you serious? That was the most logical solution? To take the last smidge of power Tessa had instead of dealing with Charon? You know...the God that wants to kill a bunch of other Goddesses? Seriously? Wow. That was certainly a buzz kill. Really. Made me go from a four star rating to three and if Tessa and Cal hadn't been such a fun couple to know, I wouldn't even give the three stars. They certainly saved this book. Way too much sex though. And I like erotica as much as the next person. I simply think they didn't need to have sex every five minutes and no I am not exaggerating.
