Every page was a delight!

THE DIPLOMATIC HEIR is the seventh book in the Etherya's Earth series and continues with the next generation. This time, it's Tor's turn and he has found his mate in Esme, the disinherited Elven hybrid princess who has spent the majority of her life running from her dastardly father!

Tor is wonderful - handsome, caring, protective - everything you would expect from a son of Miranda and Sathan. He is also a virgin but that isn't the main characteristic. Esme is strong but oh so broken. She constantly makes decisions that hurt her but help those she is trying to protect, whether they want it or not!

Not only do we get their amazing action-packed story, but we also get updates on Miranda and Sathan. Latimus, Evie, and Darkrip have cameos, plus other family members. And not only that, but you meet new characters that I now want their stories too. I'm looking at you, Jaxon! There is so much to this book, every page was a delight.

This was a wonderful addition to the series and, honestly, makes me want to re-read all of them again. I can't wait for book 8 but I guess I must. 😂 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me but, please, start from the beginning so you don't miss anything.

Merissa (13878 KP) rated Furious Angels (The Order of the Senary #4) in Books

Feb 26, 2026

FURIOUS ANGELS is the fourth book in the Order of the Senary series, although the last book was published quite a while ago (2019), so it did take me some time to fall back into their world.

Unlike the other books, Kasen and Veronica are already together, engaged, and Ronnie is pregnant when the story starts. Told from both perspectives, you see how the world is for Kasen and Veronica, how the Knights are pretty much hunted by those who 'appear' to want to help, and just how much stress and strain the Knights are under. Any story with a pregnant human woman carrying a half-vampire hybrid/half-human baby is bound to have its problems, not even counting those that are snooping for their own nefarious purposes.

Being as it's been such a long time between books, it was good to catch up with the others whose stories we've already had. However, I am intrigued by what's happening to Rome! And Shaul, well, I can't wait for his story, because if anyone deserves a HEA, it's him!

This story is full of action, of found family, hope, heartbreak, and sorrow. It was a great read that I thoroughly enjoyed, and I can't wait to read more in this series. Definitely recommended by me.

Movie Rating Watch

The new film “The Hunt” has arrived after being delayed due to world events and controversy over the films content and themes.

The film involves a group of people who wake up gagged in a field and soon find themselves being hunted by a group of unknown individuals.
After a bloody and brutal initial encounter; the remaining individuals head out into the surrounding area and soon becomes a situation with far more questions than answers.

One of the Hunted is Crystal (Betty Gilpin) deduces that things are much more complex then they seem and things take a turn in a new direction.

At this point in the film I was thinking that it was lacking any real tension or suspense as the characters were not overly developed and it made investing in their outcome difficult. The film then changes direction and looks at events of the past and also explains more about the Hunters and their motivations which is somewhat unexpected.

The film is a very difficult one to review as people will expect it to be an Action/Suspense film based on the trailers. That is really just a small part of the story which is actually closer to a Dark Comedy with heavy political overtones.
Those overtones are likely to be very controversial and may put people off from seeing the film. During my post-screening comments I said that I am going to need some time to wrap my head around this film as to if I liked it or not. It is easy to dismiss it as propaganda but it is an interesting hybrid that regardless of where you stand; does make you think.
