Dangerous Heat by Olivia Lewin

4 Stars

Trapped and taunted with a deadly heat barrelling toward me, I’m separated from the only men I’ve ever trusted.

Handing myself over to the enemy didn’t go as planned.

My captor isn’t the cruel man I thought he was. Shan is lost in the past, insistent on dealing with his trauma alone. Caspian is fighting against his nature, putting us all at risk. Ozzy is growing distant and restless, but is silenced by his curse. Emmett is battling to keep everyone together.

As past actions threaten to tear apart our tentative trust, one question hangs over my head…

Am I safer staying put, or trying to escape?

All I know for certain is for this heat, it’ll be far too dangerous alone.

Loved where this book went with Freya. It’s interesting to see the growth and changes that happen with the characters. There are twists and turns in it that made me so happy. This book is more a book about relationship development than the story moving forward but it was still worth the read. It still ends on a cliffhanger.

Frayed Trust by Olivia Lewin

4 Stars

I’m a hidden Omega with murderous impulses…

Can you blame me? With my designation it’s kill or be killed, or worse. Just ask my sister.

After the Sanctuary thrust her into the arms of a monster, I swore I’d never follow in her footsteps. Not when I revealed five years ago, and not now. I’d make it alone. No Sanctuary. No Alphas. No plan.

I didn’t really think it through.

Even if I don’t need an Alpha to take care of me, my body does. And I’m running out of time to find one of my choice. With my heats getting closer to lethal every month and a vampire kingpin who knows my identity, my only hopes are the mysterious strangers investigating my long string of murders.

Shan, the bland angel with a penchant for the rules (and making me follow them, even when he doesn't). Caspian, an incubus-fae hybrid who’s equal parts sensual and vulnerable. Em, the team’s muscle who’s inexplicably absent from the investigation.

Add in my sassy, cursed feline familiar and we have ourselves a party. And the best heat of my life, if I can bring myself to trust them with my secrets. But can I repair my frayed trust before it’s too late?

I loved this book and Freya was just awesome. The guys were also really good. I loved the snark, and the backbone Freya has. She’s determined to never be forced like her sister and take out people who are just bad. The guys you know she’s going to end up with are investigating the murders she’s responsible for and chaos ensues. Can’t wait for book 2.

Demon Kissed by Katie May and Ann Denton

4 Stars

I fucked up.

Honestly, how was I supposed to know that a love spell was actually a summoning spell...and that it would actually work?

Now, I have five demons at my beck and call, their sole purpose to fulfill my heart's deepest desire - which is to make William Washington fall head-over-heels in love with me.

Their solution? Insert themselves in every aspect of my life in order to make William jealous. As my fake boyfriend? Check. As my sexy new teachers? Check. As the psychotic, sexy stalker who follows me around? Check.

Their goal is to make William fall in love with me.

And my goal is to not fall in love with them in the process.

Interesting take on summoning. I enjoyed the story and the characters. It building into a nice story. It does end on a cliffhanger ending but worth reading and I can’t wait to read the rest of them.

Book 1 Darkest Flame

Amazon 

Tainted Bonds by Alisha Williams

3 Stars

Surrounded by mean girls at school and a-holes at home makes life difficult even with two of her fated mates by her side. She’s dealing until she finds out her biggest tormentor is another fated mate. This leads to more pain for Abby to deal with. Will she figure out a way to fix what is broken?

Book picks up where the last ended and continued to build from the past book. Two of the three made it right with Abby. Many things are revealed to Abby and her men, but more mysteries still need to be revealed. Book ends on a cliff and I am refusing to read more until all books are out. But once they are I will definitely be picking them up.

Tainted Wings by Alisha Williams

3 Stars

Abigail Morningstar is the daughter of the Devil. She is expected to take over for dad when he’s ready to retire. She feels out of place in her hell schools as a half angel. She is given an opportunity to live with her mother for three years and be enrolled at Angelic Academy. Things are still not easy at the new school as a half demon but when she discovers her mates will things get better?

Solid read. The guys ticked me off and made me want to make them crawl across broken glass to get her forgiveness. Abby’s mom was the worst of everyone. Loved Abby and two of the guys right off the bat. The world building is also pretty good. Interesting to see where this book is going.

Found by her Monsters by Avery Song

1 Stars

Nerissa has always seen monsters. She’s lost everyone and everything that is important to her but her monsters. She will need to embrace them to survive what’s coming for her.

DNF. I was so confused by this book that I gave up. The first chapter your dropped into the story and it doesn’t make any sense. Then it just gets worse so I gave up.

Hell Fae Captive by Lexi C Foss and J.R. Thorn

 

3 Stars

Cami’s parents have sold her for their debts. She is a halfling who doesn’t care that her parents sold her, and she is now a slave to hell and required to compete for favor to find mates. She will play along because she has too but she will find a way to burn it all down around Lucifer.

OMG don’t read if you are frustrated by cliffhanger endings…which I am. This was such a well written and interesting story and then it just ended. I was so frustrated. When I read this (way behind on book reviews and this was middle of 2022) this book wasn’t even up for preorder. As of writing the review it is coming out between now and April. The concept is interesting. The writing was good and I liked the characters but the ending was so abrupt and left me wanting.

Fallen Feather by Merri Bright

 

4 Stars

She was useless and not worth anything, so she decided to sacrifice herself to save Sanctuary. This makes her lose everything, her friends, her old name, and her sweet, sexy soulmate. When she walked through the gate she got to meet Rumple who puts her back together and sends her back. Even with her sacrifice there are those in Sanctuary who hate the glitter and want a regime change. Protectors start going missing, Feather is determined to find them. What she finds is the real danger isn’t in the gate failing but something else.

Cliffhanger Ending!!!!!

This starts right where the last one ends and it was awesome to see Feather’s newest mate “Rumple”. I liked to see her growing and changing and helping her guys grow and change. There are some character deaths in this book and they were heartbreaking to see happen in the book. The biggest issue is the book ends on another cliffhanger and you are left wondering how this series is going to end. There are some sexy times between Feather and some of her men but not all of them. Overall, the pacing of the book was good, and it fit with the first books. Just frustrated with having to wait for the conclusion to the story.

Lost Feather by Merri Bright

 

4 Stars

She has no past and no name and has no idea what the rules are. When she is caught by High Angelus Gavriel killing a very bad man he drags her back to her new home, the Sanctuary. There she will need to cleanse herself of all of her smut as she is the dirtiest protector they’ve ever seen. The High Angeli have no idea what to do with her and she doesn’t believe she is who they think she is.

Cliffhanger Ending!!!!

If this wasn’t a cliffhanger ending it would have been a 5 because I loved this story. It was a really interesting story that had a lot of humor but also sad moments. I liked all the guys they hint at Feather ending up with. Also, that she loves Glitter. Glitter, glitter everywhere L😊. The ending had me in tears. OMG the ending was so heartbreaking, and I can’t believe I have to wait for the next one.
