Grim by Nicola Jane



2 Stars

Grim

When it comes to women, I like it simple. Hook-ups and short goodbyes are my thing. But there’s something about Meli, that keeps me coming back for more.

She’s carefree, exciting, and the Pres’s sister, which means she’s off-limits. But when she makes it clear we’re not happening, it’s Hadley, her twin, who reminds me not all love has to be dramatic and crazy. It can also be gentle, slow, and easy.

Hadley’s never been of interest to me, always too busy reading or studying. But lately, I’m noticing her more and more, and that’s dangerous . . . for both of us.

She doesn’t realise the damage I could cause her. Because that’s what I do—I’m Grim, reaping souls and casting them aside, leaving nothing but death and destruction.

Hadley won’t survive me.
Hadley

It’s no secret that I’ve had a crush on Grim since I was a kid. I’ve longed for him to look at me the way he looks at my twin sister, Meli. The trouble is, she hates him, but I know how unrequited love feels, so I vow to support Grim as he deals with the rejection.

Forcing myself to live a little, I put down my books and pack away my baggy jumpers in an attempt to get on Grim’s radar. And just when I think about giving up, he finally sees me!

I never knew true happiness could feel so amazing. Then, one day, it all falls down around us, leaving nothing but broken pieces and shattered hearts. I’ve never felt this kind of pain.

Nothing will ever be the same again . . . for any of us.

He willingly went to prison and missed his kid’s birth because of his choices. He sucked for sleeping with her sister but instead of facing it he goes to jail to give her a break. It was an interesting idea but he never makes up for his behavior.

Hunted by Them by Jo Savages


 

2.5 Stars

Freya was chosen and betrayed by all those around her. She’s starting over but there are still people after her. When she finds Hunter and Wolf her fated mates will they be able to keep her safe?

I was enjoying this story until the twist at the end. It went from a story I understood to a book that I was incredibly frustrated with. Without spoiling the ending the plot twist came out of left field and turned the book entirely around. Then the book just kind of ends without any elaborations and it left too many questions unanswered. The writing was good, and I enjoyed it so I will pick up another book by this author and see if something else will hit better.

Love in Due Time by L.B. Dunbar









2.5 Star

Naomi Winters is about to hit the big 4-0 and has only ever been with one man. One night a long time ago. He’s now back and she is still drawn to him. Nathan isn’t that same teenager from years ago. He’s always been a rule breaker but Naomi is the one woman he’s willing to change for. He doesn’t want to lose her again. Will he be able to keep her or will the due date come for their relationship?

I wanted to like this book, but I just couldn’t get past how different the two are. Plus it didn’t seem like Dunbar knew a lot about Wicca as some of the things she mentions Naomi doing things that aren’t necessarily things a Wiccan would do. I also didn’t like the fact that MC wasn’t mentioned anywhere until you get into the book and then that is the main part of the book. All of the issues made it a slow read for me and I kept forcing myself to push through the book. I will try other books in the Penny Reid world as I love a good library setting.

Queenie and the Krakens by Aleera Anaya Ceres

 











2.5 Star

Naomi Queen refuses to have anything to do with criminals. She was raised in that world and doesn't want to go back. When she witnesses a murder she is dragged back in. Now she needs protection from the Rogue Waves. Their rivals the Kraken Motorcycle club will help her but at what cost?

The rating is being generous. It was an interesting concept but the characters and world needed work. Not to mention the look just ended and it left me wanting. It needed an epilogue or another chapter to flesh out the conclusion of the story. The fact that I read this one and finished it and I HATE MC stories says there were good things with this story but when you take a strong FMC for 85% then in the last 15% you have her guys sexually torturing her to get her to agree to be their lady. It didn't get with who any of the characters had been up to this point. At the beginning of the book a similar scene happened and Queenie HATED it and was humiliated by it and the guys thought it was a good idea to try it again? She walks but comes back and apologizes. That's What ticked me off and knocked down the rating.
