Scorching the Earth by Elise Faber

 

3.5 Stars

Hannah can't do love. She needs to focus on finding the traitor not how much she wants Lily. When She finally realties love isn't a bad thing will it be too late?

So happy to see the conclusion of the series. You do need to read the previous books to read this one and understand what was going on. My one big criticism was this was a f/f story, and they only really did heavy petting. With all the other books the sex scenes were vastly different. It could be Elise Faber wasn't sure how to write one well and so she skipped but it was a disappointment.

Her Twisted Sinners by Ginna Moran

 

2 Star

With all seven angels now demons running hell now Raven just has to figure out how to run purgatory and find her soul before it’s too late.

Thank the gods this book is done. This one was so incredible slow, and I found myself skipping parts to get through the book. They all resolve everything and Raven gets her men but blah what a waste of my time.

The Purveli by Dianne Duvall

 

3 Star

Ava always knew she was different. Working with the immortal guardians. She's given, an option to go with the Lasaran. When the ship is attacked, she ends up in the hands of the enemy. They experiment on her to try and discover her secrets. She finds an unexpected ally in Jak'ni. They support each other through experiments until they are able to escape. Will they be able to hold out until their allies find them?

The story dragged at points plus we got most of it in Eliana's book (2). It just felt like a rehash of that with a couple of added details. I did enjoy learning more about the new alien race and seeing Ava and Jak'ri get there happy ending but the book itself was just ok.

Releasing the Gods by Leia Stone

 

3 Star

Maisey Parker is celebrating her 21^st birthday on the beach with her friends when she is double dared to climb a cliff. She accidentally offers a blood sacrifice on her climb and releases Cronus from his jail cell. He has a grudge against the Greek Gods and since Maisey is not allowed far from him she is dragged along with his revenge hunt. Cronus needs to resurrect the other Titans to help him take out the Greek Gods.

This was an interesting take on the Titans/Greek Gods. Maisey frustrated me throughout most of this book. She is very shallow through about half of this book. I enjoyed the journey Maisey and Cronus take and once Maisey stopped whining the book got better. The book ends on a sort of cliff hanger esq ending where Cronus abandons Maisey and she ends up back at home. Luckily the series was out otherwise I would have been so mad.

Emperor by Anna Hackett

Poppy is on a test flight that ended up across the galaxy unable to go home and transformed into something else. Emperor Brodin took her in to help her with her shift but is distracted by an enemy sent to get him in line with his father. Will they be able to stop the attacks and keep the citizens of Damar

Safe?

I enjoyed Poppy and Brodin finding their way to a HEA. There were a couple of twists I didn't see coming. I am curious to see what the next book brings and what happens with Brodin's father. I am also interested to see who ends up with the last brother. Can't wait.

Her Sinful Saints by Ginna Moran

 

3 Star

Elias is missing and the angelic army is beating at their doors. Will Raven find her soulmate and make another angel fall?

If there wasn’t this and one more, I would quit the series. Curses on my need to finish series. This is literally the same book as the last one just new fight scenes. Raven frustrated me with her whining throughout the book. The only big thing in the book was about Raven’s pregnancy and her soul. Meh one more and I can be done.

After a bad break-up sent Charlie home to San Francisco he's not looking for love. But he finds it with

Kacee, Gold's newest mascot. Everything is going great until his ex-shows up and his putting the pressure on to get back together. Charlie's not interested but will his ex-boyfriend ruin what they have?

I really liked Charlie and Kacee. They were a super cute couple working through their own issues. I wanted them both to get their HEA. I also liked that this book shown a light on male domestic abuse. It was handled well, and it showed the shame he had for the abuse plus his difficulty in reporting it. Really good addition to the series.
