Last Rose by Kitt Lynn

 

4 Stars

Corie has lost everyone she’s loved but is now looking for a pack. She might have found her forever pack if they are willing to wait for her to accept them. When her past comes out will they be able to survive?

This one had a slow start but once I got into it the pace picked up and it was good. Corie is amazing. She alone makes this book worth reading. She's stronger than anyone thinks. She was incredibly strong, and I loved that she surprised the guys. I liked some of her mates, but others irritated me with their belief that they knew best. It was a bit on the darker side but not too dark. Can't wait to see what book 2 brings us.

Beneath Contempt by Jade Thorn

4 Stars

Melody is the strongest witch in several generations. She’s bound to her Aunt Georgia. She’s forced to bond with shifters for her pack. When she finally hits her majority and needs to go off to Adolphus Academy where she’s been ordered to go after the Apex, Dean, Ryan, Oz, Nick, and Justin for the rest of the coven. She would do anything to prevent this from happening but when she’s not given an option will she find a way to keep everyone safe?

Jade Thorn has been on my TBR for a while and I was looking for something to read and settled on this book. Boy, was I glad to pick this one up. I blew through the book, and it was so good. It hit so many feelings for me. It’s on the darker side and Melody was the right mix of sweet and strong. I love that the guys figure out some of what is going on and start working with her. It ends on a slight cliffhanger ending but is minor and the next book is available.

An Alpha's Promise (Hund Valley, #1) by Kitt Lynn

 

3 Stars

In the morning my sister is supposed to marry Rin to solidify the bond between our clans but she runs off before the wedding. That leaves my parents no choice but to force me to marry him. It’s not what I want but I have no choice but to marry him. I’m not quite of age but Rin has no choice either. When we get back to his home and things are so different from what I’ve known. Will we fine our HEA or will it be ruined by outside forces?

I enjoyed this. It wasn’t what I expected when I went into it. Rin was actually really sweet with Emmy. He takes it slow with her but can be a big dick with her. She learns to hold her own and it’s nice seeing her come into her own. The bad guy was expected and not a lot of surprises were had throughout the book. It was just a nice omegaverse story. Well worth the time and energy reading it.

Found by the Lake Monster By Lillian Lark

 

3 Stars

Amy wasn’t planning on getting lost in the woods, but she has and now she’s stumbled on a lake monster in heat who thinks she’s there to help him through it. Adrian thinks this is the last time he will have a heat and is sad that he won’t have kids or a mate until this woman falls into his lap. Will they make it work?

This was a quick insta love read. Super spicy but still has a story. I really enjoyed Amy and Adrian. Even though it is a short story there is enough world building to be more than a smexy book. Good writing and well worth the time it took to read. If you are looking for a short and smexy read give this one a shot.

Cursed by Yve Vale

 

3 Stars

Everything was up in the air for Shayla and her mates. They need to finally mate each other. They need to take down the bad guys but keep each other safe. Can they finally take out the evil men and be safe?

I struggled with this book. I liked the first two as there was a lot of connections made between Shayla and her mates. This one felt like it was hurry up and wait. There was a lot of sex and not a lot of movement with the plot even though this is the last book in the series. Things are resolved it just felt like this book was all about the sex and mating. Things were thrown out in the end that came out of left field. Overall, it was just ok. The author has said she will be continuing in this world and I am curious to see how those work out.

Railed by the Easter Bunny (Valley of the Old Gods, #1) by Dalia Davies

 

3 Stars

Whoever holds the Power rules the Valley and Lily is tired of the one who holds the power. She petitioned the goddess and requests her help to gain the power so the people will be taken care of. The only way this will happen per the goddess is if Lily agrees to have a god’s baby. She is given the option to bare a child from one of the old gods or nothing. She chooses the Easter Bunny.

This book is mostly sex and a whole lot of it. There is almost no plot or world building at all and left me with several questions but the writing was there and was very interested in seeing how the book series turned out.

Jinxed (Shadowcraft Academy, #2) by Yve Vale

4 Stars

The mystery mage now knows Shayla’s unique power and he’s more determined than ever to steal her life force. Still struggling with her fated mates leads to Shayla struggling with everything. Every step she takes forward it feels like she takes 4 steps back. The more she learns of each of her mates the more she wants to have her HEA. Will they discover who is behind the abduction and draining of supernaturals?

This book starts where book 1 ends and it progressed nicely. It builds on what was going on in book 1 and makes for an interesting read. There was more character development and some redemption with the mates that definitely needed to happen for their mating to happen. The ending does end on a cliff again. It wasn’t horribly cliffhanger-y. Several things wrapped up nicely but new plots were started that lead into book 3 which should be the last book. The last book should be interesting.
