Merissa (13860 KP) rated Phantom Pleasures (Phantom #1) in Books

Aug 23, 2017

Phantom Pleasures (Phantom #1) by Julie Leto

This book has some quirks with the main characters, but on the whole, I really enjoyed the story and the background given and am looking forward to reading Book 2 in the series.

It was nice to read a paranormal story that had nary a vampire or shifter in sight but instead followed the story of a phantom and how he came to be stuck inside a painting by gypsy magic.

The supporting characters of Cat and Ben steal the show in places, but the winner for me all round is Paschal. He is just wonderful! The part when Alexa and Damon meet for the first time has been covered in other reviews so I won't say too much, but I will agree that things happen very quickly, with no moment of disbelief or questions.

Recommended if you want paranormal with a twist.

Merissa (13860 KP) rated Teak's Second Start (Itayu Lake, #7) in Books

Dec 17, 2018

Teak's Second Start tells the story of how Teak, an arctic fox shifter, escapes from his possessive boyfriend, who not only has a wife already, but turns out to be part of the Hunters. Teak moves to Spirit Valley where he hopes his new life can begin. He receives a shock though when not only does he meet his mate, but his ex follows him and soon causes all sorts of trouble.

These Itáyu Lake novellas are the perfect, quick, read for a sunny afternoon. The writing and pace is smooth, with no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading flow. Although you receive a small benefit to reading the prior books, it in no way affects this story if you haven't. Short, sweet, and sexy. Definitely recommended by me.
