Review of Born of Betrayal by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Born of Betrayal by Sherrilyn Kenyon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The League series is more science fiction than urban fantasy. Normally I aren't a Sci-fi fan, but with that said this is definitely an exception. The excellent plot/writing by Ms. Kenyon keeps you enthralled. I have read all of the league books and the Dark Hunter series and thoroughly loved them both.
This book follows hot on the heels of Born of Defiance, the story surrounding Talyn. Born of Betrayal is mainly about Fain Hauk and Galene, Talyn’s parents. There are numerous cameo appearances from previous characters in the series. It is fast paced and has a plot that makes you want to keep reading. It also fills in the gaps and explains a lot of the misunderstandings from both parents side. Ms. Kenyon is a brilliant emotional manipulator, making you swing from sad and pitying to happy and joyous, within a paragraph. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Review of Menagerie by Rachel Vincent

Menagerie by Rachel Vincent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I wasn’t too sure how this novel was going to play out, at first. I loved Ms. Vincent’s Shifter series. Once I got into it, I couldn’t put it down. Ms. Vincent captivates your imagination with mythical creatures you know and love. Werewolves, Siren’s, Djinn, Trolls, Minotaurs the list is extensive.

The main character, Delilah Marlow witnesses cruelty to one of the attractions at the Metzger’s Menagerie, which is a traveling carnival containing Cryptids (Mythical creatures) by the hand of one of the handlers. Her reaction is shocking to everyone she knows, including herself.

Delilah finds herself stripped of her human rights. Her job, home and even her name, taken from her. This novel deals with the issues of how people treat things they don’t understand. It presents the darker side of human nature and how some of the handlers mistreat their charges.
I loved this book and can’t wait for a sequel
