Black Widow (Out for Blood 3.5)
By CY Jones
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ever have a bad day?
Well I think I’m having one.
First my employer tries to kill me. I get saved by someone who says he’s my soul bound mate, but he’s made it clear he doesn’t want me.
Turns out, he only saved me because I can lead him to Hell, to the mate he really wants.
What a charmer?
Did you know Death is a real person? Yep, he runs Hell and he’s not happy to see us.
He claims my soul was stolen from him and he wants it back.
So I have to enter into these death trials that will decide not just my fate, but those of my mates.
If I lose, our souls are lost here in Hell forever, but if I can overcome my fears and be the Widow I’ve been trained to be, I’ll win and evolve into someone who is more than an assassin.
Let’s hope I've got what it takes to live, or I will forever stay tangled in the web of my own making..
I have really enjoyed this series and at the end of this I’m in hope for a series including this new harem! CY Jones is becoming a go to author for me. This was catching up with old characters as well as finding new. A decent read for harem fans.

Please read the TWs!
ENVY is the fifth book in the Seven Princes of Sin series and, in my opinion, you really need to have read the others to receive the full benefit of this one. Also, and it's a biggie, you really need to read the Trigger Warnings for this series. It is hella dark and disturbing in places. Now, moving on…
Aedin is the Prince of Envy. And Becca is Aedin's soul mate. Becca is… troubled, to say the least, and it's not surprising at all when you consider her past. I know all of the soul mates were to be reincarnated into pain and sorrow each time but, oh man, this one was a doozy.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story, dark as it was, and loved the snippets of information we got about Wrath and Luci. I honestly can't wait for their books! The overall story arc is moving along with each book, and the previous pairs show up in each new one, so it really does help to read them in order.
A fantastic addition to the series and definitely recommended by me. Just, again, please read the TWs!

maybe not one for me!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
My review for this book will be short, because, to be honest, I'm really not sure what I just read!
I'll summarise as best as I can though.
I liked that multiple people have a say. So we get to hear from all the important people.
I LOVED the sarcasm from everyone! Trouble, especially.
I did not like, and I think this was my biggest issue, that multiple names were used for the same person. I got a bit confused right at the prologue and I think that set the screen for the rest of the book.
Lots of paranormal themes: prophecies, soul mates, demons, witches and gods, and a rare one: reincarnations. I liked that.
But, like I said, the multiple names thing kinda threw for the whole book, and I'm still a little confused by it all!
Maybe not one for me, but I did finish it, so
3 stars

Merissa (12051 KP) rated Infinite Blue in Books
Oct 19, 2018
Infinite Blue by Natalina Reis
Infinite Blue is a standalone story (as far as I can tell), which tells the story of soul mates, and what happens when it is between a shifter and a human. Shahin has been told for years by his mother that it can never happen, but finds his own soul mate in the very human form of Cai. He spends time watching him from afar (admitting to himself how stalkerish his behaviour is!) before actually meeting up with him. Unfortunately, things don't go quite as smoothly as he hoped for. Will he live to see them bond, or will he die to have Cai in his life?
This was a great story, with plenty of humorous moments, as well as heat between the sheets. The "mystery" behind Shahin's illness wasn't too difficult to figure out, but the fun was in watching them figure it out, and what they would do next.
Whilst Cai doesn't have that big a family, Shahin does - and I would love to see more of them. This was a brilliantly written story, with no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading flow. I found the pacing to be spot on, with plenty of intrigue and humour from one page to the next.
This was a great shifter story, and definitely recommended by me.

Merissa (12051 KP) rated Elemental Magick (The Donovan Coven #1) in Books
Nov 27, 2019
Elemental Magick is the first book in The Donovan Coven series. We start off with the Grimoire itself as it tries to ensure it becomes Aaron's. There is instant attraction between Malakai and Aaron, quickly followed by proclamations of love and being soul mates. If you don't like insta-love, trust me, you probably won't like this book.
The story itself is fast-paced, quickly moving from one scene to another without a real chance to get to know each character. It flows nicely though, so as long as you're prepared to go with the flow and not dive too deep, you'll be fine. As you might expect, Aaron is a whiz at magic, even though he's a newbie. And at least one of his friends is a latent witch too.
This was a brilliant book, full of action both in and out of the sheets. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more in the series.
