ABOUT THE BOOK


ROGUE DARKNESS
Immortal Guardians Book 12
by Dianne Duvall 
Release Date: June 13th, 2023
New York Times bestselling author Dianne Duvall brings readers the next stand-alone novel in her “fast-paced and humorous” (Publishers Weekly) and “utterly addictive” (RT Book Reviews) Immortal Guardians series.

Immortal Guardians have hunted and slain psychotic vampires for thousands of years. Now someone is hunting them. Humanity remains oblivious to the existence of immortals, vampires, and gifted ones, so how does this rising nemesis even know who they are and where to find them? Could it be the machinations of an old nemesis—one they thought they defeated? Or is this something new? Because unlike the foes they’ve faced in the past, this one doesn’t just target immortals. He targets those who are near and dear to them.

A gifted one under the Immortal Guardians’ protection, Nicole has worked hard to land her dream job—that of an Immortal Guardian’s Second or mortal guard—and loves working with Sean. He’s smart. He’s funny. And despite the sometimes dark existence he leads, the two of them laugh a lot. Years spent as a special ops soldier prepared Nicole well, enabling her to keep Sean safe despite his tendency to dive headlong into danger. But can it keep her safe? The enemy they face is determined and shrewd. Uncovering his identity may require new methods of engagement and force her to take a few risks.
Sean hasn’t been immortal long, but he knows the rules. And according to the rules, Nicole is off-limits. She’s his Second. His guard. His best friend. The one person who knows him better than anyone else. Though he loves every minute he spends with her, friendship is all they can ever have... isn’t it? Sean soon begins to question that as the two of them engage in a deadly cat-and-mouse game with the enemy, one that will reveal the true depth of their feelings for each other and drive him to abandon the rules altogether.

Hex by Anna Hackett



4 Stars

Jet “Hex” Adler is the goddess of all things technology. She is there to support the team with all intel and comms. She loves what she does and that makes her job easy. She may be lucky with her job but is unlucky in love. She lusts after Cain, CIA agent, but he isn’t interested. Or so she thinks. He’s too invested in his job and doesn’t think there is room for someone in his life, but Hex tests him. When he needs her help catching someone selling technology secrets, he’s not happy with Hex being placed in danger. Will he be able to keep his hands to himself?

I really enjoyed the story. Hex is all in with Cain but he has things to work through before he can agree to the HEA. It was an interesting journey to see. I liked the overall story as well. It flowed nicely and makes me interested in seeing what’s next in this world.

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarrows

 


4.5 Stars

Violet Sorrengail had spent her entire life planning on becoming a scribe like her father. After the death of her father and brother her mother forces her to join the other candidates to become a dragon rider. She’s smaller than all the other candidates and has been dealing with a lifelong disability. Everyone thinks she won’t last long as she is too fragile. Even if she lasts long enough, they don’t think a dragon will bond with her as there are always more people than dragons. If the tasks and dragons don’t kill her then the other candidates will just, to get revenge against her mother. Xaden is the most powerful wing leader and has sworn to take her out. That is until the dragons make their decision. Will she survive?

This book had so much hype behind it I didn’t think it would stand up. I had never read a book by Rebecca Yarrows and wasn’t willing to buy the hard cover book at that price, so I waited for the library. I ended up being one of the first to get the book. I blew through the dang thing so fast and wanted the spray painted one, so I went out and bought it. It’s somewhere between 4 and 5. It’s borderline I want to reread it already. I loved that Violet is disabled and shows what it looks like when someone has been dealing with long term issues. It’s a different way to view disability but for those who have been living with issues for a long time will relate to this so much. I loved that the Violet grows so much in this book. She is willing to grow and change to stay alive but not everything about her changes. The big one is her character stays the same. There are several twists and turns in the book that kept me reading. The one character that dies was just heartbreaking and made me so mad. There are a lot of deaths in the book but there is just one that was just so nooooo! The ending of the book was a WTF moment and was sort of a cliffhanger ending but not a true cliffhanger. It wraps up the main plots in this book but ends with some new questions. I can’t wait for the next book to come out in November.

Denied by Evelyn Flood



5 Stars

Sienna Michaels has been waiting forever for a chance at a pack and family. She’s finally gotten the invitation to the Bonding Trials where she is assigned a pack. She is matched with the Cohen pack, Tristan, Jax, Logan, and Gray. They are her soul bonds and are meant to be. What she wasn’t expecting was for them to be blackmailed into denying her. Someone wants her to be denied which will outcast her and she will be forbidden from entering another agreement and the city. The pack has all the options available, but she doesn’t. No matter what they do to her she has to stick it out, so she’s not denied. Will the pack find a way to claim her, or will she be denied?

I loved this book so much. It is so much emotional damage but in the best way possible. I would not recommend reading this if book 2 isn’t out as it ends on a massive cliffhanger ending that made me so incredibly angry. Like through the entire book I was saying the guys better figure out the best way to fix this because they were massive assholes to her. They never get the chance and that will probably be book two. I very much finished it and wanted to reread it to find things I missed in the first read through. I’ve had a string of 2 star books and this one just hit all the notes for me and I absolutely loved it. Definitely pick it up and read…maybe read it after book 2 is out.

Virgin Hunt Volume 1 by Mel Teshco

 


3 Stars

Melody Needs money for her family so she enters the Virgin Games. She is determined to get the most out of it even if that means having sex with all of the contestants. The first alien she runs into Damon is everything she wants but isn’t who she’s supposed to be with, but he will earn more money and he wants to get her more money. How will this play out?

It was ok. It had some plot with the sex. I loved that the Melody was all about getting hers even if that meant giving up her V card. I would have liked some more world building because all of these people came from different worlds and it was mentioned but not elaborated on.

Doubling Down by Ophelia Bell



2 Stars

My BFF ghosted me and that led to me having the craziest summer ever but them life interferes. Now, years later I am home, and I run into them again. They still blow my mind, but can we make it work?

Wanted more backstory. It was all about sex and no plot. It didn’t make sense why FMC left as her family seemed fine with her relationship. She comes back to visit and it’s all sunshine and daisies with her men. It just didn’t flow for me.
