Merissa (13705 KP) rated Her Druid Temptation (The Amber Druid Series 0.5) in Books
Mar 31, 2023 (Updated Apr 10, 2023)
This is a short novella which introduces you to the Amber Druids, an ancient race of both men and women who each have their own intrinsic gifts.
Liana and Traven are two Amber Druids who are both living in New Orleans. Liana is a restauranteur and Traven is a P.I. They meet again when Liana has a meeting with a person that Traven is following. They have known each other for 50 years but each of them thought that nothing would ever happen, for their own reasons. This is a short, passionate, love story that I have enjoyed and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
This novella is enough to give you a taste - and leave you wanting more - of the Amber Druids. I want to know more about them!

Merissa (13705 KP) rated Vampire for Christmas in Books
Apr 10, 2023 (Updated Apr 10, 2023)
OK, so I know October is the wrong month to be reading about Christmas but it was next on my list ;)
This is a novella so the storyline is fast-paced and moves along swiftly. Saying that, you will still find all the information you need to be engrossed in the story of how Rafe and Shannon came to be partners and what their histories are.
This is a wonderful story that I would recommend for a rainy evening or when you are curled up in front of a fire, who knows maybe even during the build-up to the season itself! Short, sweet and sexy.

Merissa (13705 KP) rated Dark Night (The Amulet #2) in Books
Apr 14, 2023
This is a short and spicy quick read about Soli-B, a witch who has been bound to a vampire before, who is fighting against her attraction to Master Eligio. He, of course, doesn't play fair and will use anything to gain an advantage, including a warrant of arrest.
This is a novella so therefore it moves along at an incredible pace - everything happens within the space of a few short hours. There is attraction, flirtations, humour, and the threat of violence - all within a few pages.
If you are on the lookout for a hot, coffee-break book, then I can highly recommend this book and The Amulet Series as a whole.

ClareR (6054 KP) rated He Who Drowned the World in Books
Nov 1, 2023
The very worst thing about this series, is that it was only two books - and now it’s over!! I mean, I’m happy to be told that I’m wrong, and that book three is on it’s way. THAT’S how much I loved it.
Zhu Yuanzhang is the Radiant King and is now after the throne she needs to crown herself Emperor. All power to her, I say!
There are battles, feats of cunning to outwit stronger and more numerous enemies, acts of heroism, friendship and love.
This book is my crack, and I would happily have read on and on, but it ended, I was sad, and then I came here to tell you all to go and read it. Because if you haven’t, then you most certainly should.
Oh, and I’m still waiting to be told that there’s a third in the pipeline (🙏🏻!).

Merissa (13705 KP) rated The Executioner in Books
Dec 17, 2018 (Updated May 26, 2023)
This short story briefly mentions a local myth and legend about The Executioner, but apart from that, the story is mainly a second-chance romance. On a team-building weekend, something goes wrong and they end up with two dead bodies. Maddie needs to keep it together as Team Leader to assist the police, whilst also figuring out if she will forgive her ex, Nick.
This is a fast-paced story that nevertheless manages to tell the complete story and give you a hint of the mysterious too. Well written, with no editing or grammatical errors that I found, this makes a perfect coffee break book. Recommended.

Merissa (13705 KP) rated The Exorcist Who Loved Me (Must Love Ghosts #2) in Books
Jun 6, 2023
This a fast-paced and quirky story, telling of a young widow and an exorcist, and the things that they uncover both of the normal and paranormal types. The whole book has a timespan of about 5-7 days, so it is definitely in the 'insta-love' category, but somehow, it seems to work for them. Holly is warm, caring and babbles when she's nervous. Lawe is a 'wandering star' who doesn't want any roots to hold him down. Of course, things change when these two meet.
Well-written, with a healthy dose of humour, and a dollop of mystery. This book is a light read, guaranteed to delight. Definitely recommended.

The fourth - and, to date, final - entry in L.G. Estrella's 'Unconventional Heroes' series, which came across largely (to me, at least) as three or even four books in some, with distinct cuts between each of the various sections as follows:
1) Rescuing a princess from a powerful crime lord
2) Dealing with a rampaging horde of goblins that are about to overrun a dwarf kingdom
3) Recovering the lost Sky City from a different dimension
4) The start of a war, fought over the possession of that Sky City in the first instance.
AS in the previous three entries in the series, this also seems to end with Timmy's, ummm, 'entourage' expanding ever and ever larger - I would not be at all surprised to find who was a secondary character here to become a primary character in further entries.
Of which, I assume (and hope) there will be more ... ?
