Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Soul of the Sword (Shadow of the Fox, #2) in Books

Dec 31, 2019

I received a copy of Soul of the Sword from Harlequin TEEN (US Canada) through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was superb. It has everything! Ghosts, demons, and forbidden romance.
I really enjoyed the mythology and the characters.
It's the second book in the series but I had no problem following what was going on.
I am Really looking forward to the third book!

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Because Your Vampire Said So (Broken Heart #3) in Books

Dec 31, 2019

I really didn't care so much for this one. It got bogged down with the mythology right in the middle of the story.

I enjoyed Jessica and Eva's story, but this one felt it was lacking something. I really didn't care for Patsy and Wilson and the story just seemed like it built up to a 2 second finale and that's it. With all the back story, I expected more.

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated The Hidden Lives of Jack the Ripper's Victims in Books

Dec 31, 2019

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I have been waiting for this wonderfully compassionate book for years and didn't even realize it.

So much obsession over Ripper mythology and so many people treat Mary Ann, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary Jane like they were somehow deserving of their tragic fates.

I feel this book is a very important read.

Merissa (13585 KP) rated Rematch (Chinese Zodiac Romance, #1.5) in Books

Dec 17, 2018

I received this book from the author in return for a fair and honest review.

As I fell in love with all the Chinese mythology that Rachael Slate put down in book 1, Trancing The Tiger, it came as no surprise to me that I loved that aspect of this book just as much. This time, it's a bit more 'specialised' so instead of reading about the whole of the Chinese horoscope and mythology, you learn about one specific place - Li's place.

Li himself is a tortured hero which always goes down a treat with me. He is matched by Wen with the feisty attitude who stands toe to toe with him and won't take any rubbish. There are also cameo shots from Lucy and Sheng, as well as the Matchmaker.

The story is fast-paced and well thought out, the dialogue is sharp and sassy and it is hot! Altogether, another fantastic book from Rachael Slate. Definitely recommended.
