Devil’s Due ( Red Letter Days book 2)

⭐️⭐️⭐️


WITH HER SECRET BACKGROUND AND STREET SMARTS, LUCIA GARZA HAD FEW QUALMS ABOUT TAKING THE DEVIL'S DEAL...

The money Lucia and her new partner received to open their detective agency had come with strings: any assignment delivered via red envelope had to be top priority. No sweat. No one could make Lucia do something she didn't believe in--right?

Wrong. Lucia soon learned that every choice she made meant life or death for innocent people. No one could be trusted, not even the ex-cop she'd hired--and fallen for. In fact, Ben might be her fatal weakness, if the powers warring to control the future used him to control Lucia....

So this was the second in a duology and this time it’s more from Lucia’s point of view and her journey where book one followed Jazz. I enjoyed but got a little bored in the middle which is so unlike me with a Caine book. It was good to get to know Lucia though and figure out maybe she’s not so rigid Overall it was a good read but just not past a 3 star.

By Sara Snow
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Caroline and her friends are running out of time in their quest to find answers - and her family - in the shocking fourth installment of the exciting new Destine Academy series.

Sixteen-year-old Caroline and her magically talented friends are racing against the clock to find answers that will lead her to her missing mother and brother. As Caroline’s powers escalate, they find help from an unexpected ally,

...and Caroline is confronted with the possibility that her mother and brother are better off without her.

Between her friends wanting to protect her, and her aunt wanting to control her, Caroline is feeling increasingly out of control of her own life.

Her growing relationships with Aldrick and Corbin complicate matters further as she continues to feel TORN between the two. Caroline and her friends uncover more about Tempeste and The Entiere

...but nothing could have prepared them for what they reveal—and what it means for Caroline.

So we now know the phrophecy and Caroline has unlocked another power! She’s also found and lost all her friends in less than 24 hours! What is her aunt up to? I really like this little series. I like Sara Snow!

BLACK WATER MAGIC is the first book in the Teagan Blackwater series, and it starts with the magical murder of Nola as Teagan lazes around in post-coital bliss. Now Teagan is on the back foot as she tries to figure out her new role, gain the respect of the magical community, solve a murder, and break a curse.

I enjoyed this book from start to finish, with the different characters and their secrets. It is only the first book in the series, so I expected there to be parts of world-building, back-story, etc. I can't say as I particularly liked Colby, ignoring the fact that he's a Viking Demi Demon!

The tropes of gay best friend and being naïve are a bit overdone for my liking, but it works for this story. I really can't wait until Teagan grows into her powers though, and fights on an equal footing.

A smooth pace, well-written, and with a great storyline, this is definitely recommended by me.
