Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Awaken Me Darkly (Alien Huntress, #1) in Books
Jan 6, 2021
Well I loved this at the beginning. Mia was kick-arse, as were the rest of her team. I was interested in what was going on with the murders and finding out who was behind it...
I also loved the little glimpses we got at the start of Kyrin. He sounded equally seductive and bad-arse--which is a great combination.
I can't say I understood Mia's need to attack him all the time...but I guess she has some anger issues regarding aliens.
The murder plot became less interesting throughout the book as I just wanted to concentrate on the sexual tension between our main characters. There were some pretty steamy scenes between them...but also not enough for my liking.
There was a shock thrown in, which did surprise me.
The thing that stopped this from having four stars was the ending. I can't say I enjoyed it that much. It seemed to resolve itself far too quickly and I can't say I felt Mia's emotions at the time.

Sanctum (saving Setora book 2)

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
Once again, I find myself in a dangerous predicament.
Kidnapped by enemies of the Dark Legion, barbarians far more dangerous than my road warrior masters, escape remains out of reach. Even if I did get away, how would I survive, alone in the desert with Damien's men still searching for me?
With the barbarian crew preparing to take me to a distant icy land I know nothing about, I can't help but think of the masters I left behind - the road warrior pirates in leather cuts I shouldn't want. I know I'll never see them again. And even if they were to free me, what then? Would I want them as my masters?
Then at the last moment, I'm presented with something no slave has ever been given - a choice. A choice that could change my entire destiny and those of everyone around me or bring me headlong into a life I should never have trusted. I have a feeling everything is about to change, but will I survive long enough to see it?
I’m still so on the fence with this series! Yes it has hot men! Hot females! Hot sex scenes! BUT I’m not onboard with the female slaves and the demeaning manor in some of the scenes! Maybe setora can turn this place around?

Deadpool 2 progresses from the Deadpool in a number of ways. We explore Wade and the rest of the cast in a lot more detail. We also get to see Wade working out his demons with a team of super heroes instead of just by himself for the most of the movie.
Personally, for me, this was the best X-Movie of them all. Better than the originals and maybe only surpassed by Logan on some levels. I really don't think it missed for me at all. Not having Vanessa in it made sense but I did get the reasoning behind it.
Stay until the end. You get a few more scenes and then at the very end you get a reprise of one of the best musical moments in the flick.
