Merissa (13159 KP) rated Driven (Reflections, #9) in Books
Apr 6, 2023 (Updated Apr 10, 2023)
The books by Dean Murray and Eldon Murphy (same person) finally collide in Driven and it works perfectly! With having the two previous stories detailing Geoffrey's life, you get a real feel for what he is trying to do and how he's acting. From the books detailing Jasmin's participation in Alec's pack, you can completely understand how the frustration and exhaustion would be affecting Jasmin. This book answers questions that were raised by the books prior to this one but you are still left with new questions that need answers.
This series is one of the most entertaining ones that I have read and the attention to detail is astounding. These books flow, are easy to read and you are never bored. There is so much action but it is perfectly balanced. You don't feel like you are thrown from one scenario to another.
I loved this book and have been waiting for it very (im)patiently but it was definitely worth the wait. Highly recommended to all Dean Murray/Eldon Murphy fans and fans of the YA, Fantasy or Paranormal genres.

Merissa (13159 KP) rated Lost (Reflections, #10) in Books
Apr 10, 2023
This book follows the path of Isaac after he's parted from Alec. He has lessons to learn and things to realise and the only way he will do this is by living a life that he wasn't truly expecting. Isaac has decisions to make that will reflect on everything that he will do in the future. Luckily, he has some help from Rachel to help him along his way. There is a whole new world introduced in Lost that I am sure we will be seeing more of - or at least I certainly hope so. Without saying too much and giving it away, Set quickly became a favourite character and I loved every scene he was in.
I love how scenes from other books are played out in this one and they all fit together perfectly. This series continues to grow and turn into something so much more than 'just' a paranormal romance. The characters in this series are all growing in every book they feature. Fantastically well-written and thoroughly enjoyable. You will get 'Lost' in this story. I really can't recommend it highly enough.

Merissa (13159 KP) rated Tainted Energy (The Energy Series Book 1) in Books
Apr 10, 2023
This is a wonderful story with a twist. It is refreshing, romantic, suspenseful, heartbreaking, and hopeful all at the same time.
Lena is being punished by a hard life on Earth - although she can't remember any of it. All she does know is that her Dream Man "Him" visits her in her dreams and promises to find her. Tarek has been searching for Lena for the past 17 years, ever since she was accused and sentenced as being 'tainted'. Finally, someone comes to him and tells him where she might be but also that she is in danger.
This is exceedingly well written with the descriptions of various places, people and acts being very clear. You will be with Lena every step of the way but also understand Tarek's struggles to comprehend that this Lena isn't his Lena even though she is.
The ending though... OMG!!! Not what I was expecting, absolutely tear-jerking and yet I can't imagine it any other way now. Brilliant.
Definitely recommended for all fans of Fantasy/Paranormal which has its own take and spin on things. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for Book 2, Lost Energy.

Merissa (13159 KP) rated Delirium (Reveler #6) in Books
May 8, 2021 (Updated Apr 12, 2023)
This series just keeps on getting better and better. It is intricate, involved, unique from my perspective and absolutely gripping. The concept behind these books is a fantasy, some might say, but Erin Kellison has made it a reality within her stories. They are all incredibly well-written with a smooth story and no plot holes.
Delirium is mainly about Harlen's new job in the Darkside Division which will mean absolutely nothing to you unless you've read the previous books in this series. You NEED to read these in order for it to make sense and to gain the most enjoyment out of them. There is major intrigue in this as no one is who they appear to be and you can't trust anyone.
This is gripping stuff and it does come complete with a cliffhanger ending so fair warning. If you want a short read that is paranormal but not full of vampires or shifters, then I can highly recommend this to you. Start at book 1 and gain the maximum enjoyment out of this magnificent series.

Merissa (13159 KP) rated Possessed (Hollow City Coven #1) in Books
Apr 18, 2023
Everyone has heard of the lost city of Atlantis, but how many have heard of the last city of Tenebris? Tenebris is part of Wiccan history that has been relegated to myth and legend - which is actually hard to do when you can live for thousands of years. Gillian loves to research and thinks that she has found a clue about where Tenebris actually is. She is determined to find it, but her Coven Master doesn't want her to go alone. She is assigned a 'bodyguard' in the form of Shayne. Sparks fly between the two before they even know each other.
This is a fast-paced romantic novella, with lots of action too. Wiccans have a very real enemy in the shape of Templars. Gillian appears to be more than she actually knows, so how do the Templars know about her already? What do they want her for? You are left with all these questions, but you still feel that you have started an excellent series.
If you like Paranormal Romance, then I can definitely recommend this new series by Hazel Hunter, and I am definitely looking forward to Book 2.

Merissa (13159 KP) rated Fireworks at Midnight (A Witch’s Night Out #3) in Books
May 8, 2023
This is the third book in the Witch's Night Out series and the best part for me is that each story is individual, whilst following a familiar idea. This way means that you get a fresh story each time, whilst the world and character building can move on from where it last left off. This means that you end up with a rich and detailed world with characters that are three-dimensional and you can relate to, without having a massive back-story or information dump going on.
Sweets and Mikal deserve to be together, they have crushed on each from afar long enough. The time is now to make a move - but who will move first, and what does fate have in store before they can? This is a quick and light-hearted read that will satisfy your need for a steamy coffee break book. Whilst it is the third in a series, I would say it could be read as a standalone, but reading the other two will definitely help give you a more enriched view. Definitely recommended for all fans of paranormal romance.
