To Covet The Fae is the first book in the spin off series, The Kincaid Wolves. As such, it involves characters and places that we have already met. Although you could read this as a standalone, to get the full benefit I would recommend reading the Deathless Night series first. Plus the fact, they are wonderful books so it will be no hardship, I assure you.

Heather is Grace's friend and has come with her from China to Seattle. However, there is more to her than meets the eye as Brock finds out when she is taken unwillingly to meet with "the Prince". Through certain machinations, Brock and Heather find themselves separated in a different dimension, with only the toss of a coin to guide them.

This is well-written, with no editing or grammatical errors. However, as the first of a series, even a spin-off, there is a lot of groundwork that has to be laid. Also, it helps to provide the build up to the future books. This looks like it is going to be a series just as hot as the Deathless Nights, and so I have no hesitation in recommending it!

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

Audible makes this a better book!
I found this to be a truly enjoyable experience with Audible on my side. I am an avid reader, but something about Finty's voice and her ability to paint characters with just tonality is mesmerizing.

This is a unique spin on the typical zombie apocalypse story, and I have to say it's done exceedingly well. I loved the idea of Melanie being raised as she was, and even though the end of the book could be predicted, the perspective of the child and the changes that some characters made caused me to be particularly thrilled with this book. Off to find the movie now!!

Movie Favorite

"“In what ca-TEG-ory would you put Mr. James Joyce?” Or, for that matter, this film? Among other things, I’d call it the best gangster picture ever made. Orson Welles got the most mileage from it (including a radio spin-off that recast the swinish Harry Lime as a good-natured rogue), a renown I find difficult to fathom, given the superb ensemble work by Joseph Cotten, Trevor Howard, Alida Valli, Bernard Lee, Wilfred Hyde-White, and a doctor who pronounces his name VINK-el. Carol Reed’s direction makes the most of every incident, and the whole package is tied up with one of the best musical scores ever."

I received a copy of Storm and Fury from Netgalley and Harlequin Teen in exchange for an honest review.

Sexy shapeshifting gargoyle boys! Count me in!

I was initially confused because this one jumps right into the story. Turns out it's a spin-off, so that explains a lot.

It started of a little slow but once the action starts it doesn't really let up.

I really liked Trinity. She could have easily been an obnoxious Chosen One ™ type but the book managed to avoid that.



Also Trinity is disabled which I appreciate so much as a disabled woman. Every bit of representation matters and I love the matter of fact way a degenerative disease is s dealt with.

This is one of the very few of my top top favourite books! It is the kind that sucks you in and refuses to let you put it down. I love the spin off the traditional fairy tales with such clever changes to them i love figuring out how they link back to them. The relationships berween the characters are complicated and imaginative- i love it. The plot is well thought out and so descriptive,. If you love fantasy, romance, adventure and shouting at the book for the charcters to not do that... then you are in for a treat. You have to give this book i try (You will not regret it!)
