Cyn Armistead (14 KP) rated The Hidden City (The House War, #1) in Books

Mar 1, 2018

I love love love this book. If you haven't read anything else in this universe, you'll be just fine. I've read all the previous books, and plan to go back and re-read them as soon as this bit (duology? triloy? I don't know West's plans) is done.

The only thing that kept it from five stars was the repetitive nature of some characters' internal dialogues. I got the point right away, but I suppose some readers might need more. I don't know that anyone needs to be hit over the head with Rath, Jewel, and Duster's issues, though.

In any case, while huge, the book is well worth reading, and I am eager to read whatever comes next.

Alicia S (193 KP) rated Ghost (Boston Underworld, #3) in Books

Sep 28, 2018

What an incredibly fabulous book!! I devoured the first two books in the series and Alexei & Talia's story sucked me in from page one! My heart broke over and over for these two, both two haunted souls unable to move beyond their pasts. Struggling to feel worthy in anyone's eyes... Talia finds strength in his overpowering dominance and in her he finds solace. A dark yet incredibly beautiful book about two people who slowly come to realize that no matter how screwed up any of us are, we are all worthy of love and forgiveness. HIGHLY recommended book, series and author!! Five stars just aren't doing my heart any justice on this one!? ;-)

AJaneClark (3975 KP) rated Dirty Secret (Slayers Hockey #1) in Books

Feb 20, 2021

Dirty Secret is the story of Allie and Vaughn. A light hearted and entertaining story of love. I enjoyed reading the combination of love and sport. Kelly added to my love of Hockey, and I appreciated the inclusion of the locker room banter.

From one memorable night, and a long remembered teenage crush, to a story of love, passion and secrets which change everything. Reading the perspective of Allie, always putting her brother first, it was wonderful to see her take something for herself, and seeing the change in Vaughn from his attitude on the ice, to his warmth with Allie.

Definitely worth the read and the five stars in my opinion.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Night Embrace (Dark-Hunter #2) in Books

Jan 6, 2021

Well I loved the first book, I think I gave it five stars. This one, not so much. Unfortunately for it, the romance was based on reincarnation which is not something I enjoy reading about. I think it's because I don't get to really see the relationship grow, more like scenes of them now and then when the feelings are already there and I feel a little cheated.

Nevertheless, I still love the secondary characters and can't wait to read more. Zarek certainly has me intrigued and I can't wait to see who makes him turn all warm and gooey.

Not just yet, though. I appear to have lost interest in paranormal books right now, but soon.

"A fascinating character study of how another rebel raccoon Meeko manipulates a buncha useless fleshbags into arguing over a buncha Earth units that weren’t even real, just to feed his bottomless appetite — FOR POWER! I always say there ain’t no thing like me, ‘cept me, but Meeko’s pretty d’ast close. He’s even got his own talking tree sidekick, Granny Willow! And look, Groot’s great, but he ain’t got the powers of persuasion that this barky broad had. But Meeko and Granny, they took it too far — they almost started a WAR! Me an’ Groot, we’re all about protecting our galaxy (YOU’RE WELCOME, BY THE WAY). But trust you me, Meeko is the greatest antihero of Earth cinema. Five stars!"
