it was amazing
Midnight Angel is not the kind of book I normally read. I love books set in England, but as a rule I don’t read any romance tinged with horror and graphic violence. But I couldn’t put Midnight Angel down. I had to know what happened.
Kat is a divorcee with a grown son. She’s bought herself a new cottage and is planning a great time redecorating with her best friends. When she’s assaulted by a monster everything changes. The assault leaves her with terrible wounds and new powers. Suddenly she can see things she’s never seen before, including a lover who first comes to her in dreams. Kat’s caught up in the battle between angels and demons and if she and her new friends don’t find the demons, it could mean the end of our world. Wonderful first book. Looking forward to reading the next one.



US Review
ByRebeccaon October 26, 2016
Midnight Angel captured my interest from page one.

The author crafted paranormal suspense that kept me on the

edge of me seat...and made me late for work yesterday!

Through the shape shifting tale, she told a very possible

romantic story that gave a realistic feel to the novel. I love

getting caught up in the world of a book and peeking over my

shoulder just to make sure the paranormal isn't real. Yes, it

was that good! I loved all the side characters and hope this

author continues with their stories in a continuing series.

4 STAR

After surviving a vicious attack Kat Shaw learns that monsters really do exist in the world. She begins having dreams of brutal murders and finds that she is seeing what the demon who had attacked her is actually doing. Kat is thrown into the battle of good versus evil as her attacker stalks her and continues to murder innocent victims.

First, a couple of things about Midnight Angel. This one is definitely an adult fantasy read as there was quite a bit of sexual content going on. It took me a bit of getting used to as I’m used to the whole demon fighting type of read being mostly young adult. Plus with this one there’s a bit of a love triangle situation with the main character meeting two men.

Otherwise, I like the idea behind the plot in this one. The idea of surviving an attack only to end up linked to the attacker was certainly interesting. To be injured and have your injuries heal rather quickly would be odd enough but to learn what you are seeing is actually taking place and there is a whole world out there you didn’t know existed was a fun topic.

Review of Spy Game by Suz deMello

Spy Game: Romantic Suspense


Spy Game: Romantic Suspense by Suz deMello

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

I was unsure what to expect when I started to read this book, but I am pleased to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ani Sharif is an agent with the USSA and an excellent hacker. The only thing is, she has never been in the field until the need arises for her to go undercover in Silicon Valley at Rexford.com. This is where she meets Richard Rexford or Sexy Rexy, as he is known. Richard is the owner of the company and suspected of selling classified, security software to the Chinese. Ani has to get close to Richard to get access to his laptop. Ani is a strong, independent young woman who is also vulnerable and inexperienced in the relationship area. With the assistance of her sister, who like her was adopted by their parents. The two infiltrate Silicon Valley to find out the truth and identify the traitor.

The characters in this story are likable and believable. The story reads well and is a definite page turner. With a plot that is paced well, I would definitely recommend this book

A Convenient Marriage - The Moragh Saga #1A Convenient Marriage - The Moragh Saga #1 by Maggie Tideswell

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My goodness, what can I say about this book? Well firstly, it was not what I expected. There are plenty of plot twists and turns. Some are predictable, but not in a bad way. I love the base story. Joshua is a hunk who actually cares and is in love. Holly is vulnerable and walked over by her ex-husband and his new wife. There is a supernatural element to the storyline which gives the book that little bit extra. It is subtle and not overdone. Ms. Tideswell writes an emotional heart warming, yet thrilling story that builds to a crescendo and leaves you wanting more. This is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone book. I truly enjoyed reading this story, and I can’t wait to read the next instalment

author-bio


maggie-tideswell


Maggie Tideswell is a South African author with a passion for romance. All over the world people are falling in love, even the birds and the bees are doing it. Ghosts just can't seem to leave her alone and she combines things that can't be explained, sweaty bodies and rumpled beds in a way that will make your toes curl and your hair stand on end.
Maggie just can't do without perfume, coffee and the internet. She is nearly as passionate about food as she is about creating alpha heroes every woman will fall in love with, just as she does, every time. The strangest thing is that cats have never played any kind of role in her stories, as she is owned by three of them. That might change soon.

Review of How to Seduce a Queen by Stella Marie Alden


Today I am reviewing How to Seduce a Queen by Stella Marie Alden



How to Seduce a Queen by Stella Marie Alden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
How to Seduce a Queen
I have read the other two books in the series and thoroughly enjoyed them both. How to seduce a Queen, lived up to the others and more. It contains highs and lows with plenty of plot twists to keep you enthralled. Ms Alden continues this series giving you everything you want and more.

Nicolas De Bruce aims to seduce the lady Fay. He is ordered by his grandfather, to get her pregnant and then dump her in a nunnery. Fate is a strange thing and while disguised as a monk, to gain her trust, they fall in love. I won’t spoil it for other readers but you will enjoy the antics of both Lady Fay and Nicholas as they try to find a happy ending.

Time and Forever by Susan B James

Time and ForeverTime and Forever by Susan B. James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Time and Forever is based in L.A in the United States and London in the United Kingdom.

If you believe in love at first sight and missed opportunities, this is certainly the book for you. If you have lost the love of your life and wished that you could change things, again this is the book for you.

Ms. James relays the late sixties in all of its glory. The story is based in the year 1969, and the author describes the fashion, music, and atmosphere of the era, brilliantly. This is a heart-warming romance story of two women, Sherry and Lorena who relive their past by visiting The Castle, a Virtual Reality tour.

This page turner is nostalgic and entertaining. Time travel at its best.

Review of The Dirt on Ninth Grave by Darynda Jones

The Dirt on Ninth Grave (Charley Davidson, #9)The Dirt on Ninth Grave by Darynda Jones
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The eighth book in the series, left us with a huge cliff-hanger and a lump in our throats.
In this book, Charley ends up in the town of Sleepy Hollow. Unfortunately, she has lost her memory, doesn’t know who she is and doesn’t recognise any of her friends. As with all of the Charley Davidson novels, this instalment made me laugh out loud.
I don’t want to spoil the plot, but Ms. Jones writes, as always, an intricately woven plot which is fast paced and highly entertaining. Charley is a very strong character with a sharp tongue and quick wit. I have said it before, and I will say it again. I truly love this series. Ms. Jones doesn’t miss a beat and never disappoints. Like all readers, I can’t wait for the next instalment.

Review of Born of Betrayal by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Born of Betrayal (The League, #10)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 (Menagerie, #1)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

Review of Eighth grave after dark by Darynda Jones

Eighth Grave After Dark (Charley Davidson, #8)Eighth Grave After Dark by Darynda Jones
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love the Charley Davidson series. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, so I won’t be talking plot. I have read all of the books in the series.
The basics are that Charley Davidson is a very special person, who acts as a portal for the dead to pass through. She is deeply in love with Reyes Farrow who is the son of Lucifer.
This and the other books are fast paced, and never dull. Charley has a smart mouth, and is extremely funny. She is quick witted, and always in the thick of it. Trouble should be her middle name.
This, like all of the other books in the series, are highly entertaining, and leaves you wanting more. It is an excellent book which brings a tear to your eye one minute, and the next, has you laughing out loud. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Review of How to Marry Your Wife by Stella Marie Alden

How To Marry Your WifeHow To Marry Your Wife by Stella Marie Alden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Highly entertaining – The author captures the era and you really feel like you are there in medieval times. I read the first book by this author. How to Train your Knight, and I really enjoyed it. The main characters Marcus and Ann do make an appearance in How to Marry your Wife and it is nice to see how they have moved on with their lives. I didn’t think that this book would be able to match the first but I was pleasantly surprised as it exceeded my expectations. You can read either book as a stand-alone novel, and there are no cliff hangers. How to Marry your Wife is funny, heart-breaking at times and depicts the era very well! You are taken on a journey through time which the author captures in vivid detail. It centres around a Templar Knight, Thomas and Merry the maiden he falls in love with, prior to leaving to go on assignment for the King. Six years later he returns to find that thing are not how he left them. I must say that this is an excellent read even if you don’t normally follow this genre.

Review of Born of Defiance by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Born of Defiance (The League, #9)Born of Defiance by Sherrilyn Kenyon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The League series is addictive, and this book is no different.

It focuses around Talyn and Feliciea, and is true love at its finest.
Talyn is lonely but certainly not helpless. He has to fight for everything he has and wants. He constantly suffers by the hand of the Andarian Royals.

With the love of a strong willed, caring women Talyn battles to overcome the brutality of his life.

For those who have read other league stories. Nykrian’s story links in with this one. The storyline is heart breaking and really does get your emotions going. Swapping from teary eyed to angry, Ms Kenyon successfully keeps you enthralled throughout. Another outstanding example of her work.

Review of Lions Share by Rachel Vincent

Lion's Share (Wildcats, #1)Lion's Share by Rachel Vincent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Firstly I loved the Shifter books. They are an outstanding series around, a were-panther pride, and the lead female Faythe Sanders.

Faythe is the only female enforcer and a real tough cookie. Her adventures stole our hearts as she battled with the antiquated beliefs of the male run society.

The lions share is the first book in the Wildcats series and takes us back to those familiar characters we know and love. Ms Vincent didn’t disappoint with this action packed novel. It is highly entertaining and I didn’t want to put it down. The Jace and Abby characters have grown and moved on with their lives. I don’t want to spoil it for you so I won’t elaborate but one thing I will say is that you can read this book, without reading the previous series. Although it is a shame if you miss out on the excellent shifter series.

I cannot wait for the next book in the series. I fell for Jace all over again in this series.

Review of The Shadow Rises by K S Marsden

The Shadow Rises (Witch-Hunter, #1)The Shadow Rises by K.S. Marsden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I downloaded this book as it was a free download. I didn’t really expect much but I was pleasantly surprised. Hunter or George Ashley is a seventh generation witch hunter who works for an organisation called the Malleus Maleficarum Council (MMC). Right from the start of the book I was hooked and it didn’t disappoint. I must say that I like James who is a first generation witch hunter who works with Hunter. He is a very entertaining Yorkshire lad. I don’t want to give the story away but it is well worth reading. Thank you Ms Marsden.

Review of Devil May Cry by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Devil May Cry (Dark-Hunter, #7)Devil May Cry by Sherrilyn Kenyon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sherrilyn Kenyon take us on a fun filled adventure in Devil May Cry. The main characters are Sin a Sumarian fertility God, who had lost his godly powers and Kat a hand maiden of Artemis, or is she? There are a few new characters in this book and some cameos from Artemis, Acheron and Simi. There are also a few questions answered around Acheron and Artemis.
Kat and Sin battle to save humanity with life changing results. I must say that I love the new characters who work for Sin. They are very entertaining. Another excellent book in the series.

Review of The Black Widow by Jennifer Estep

Black Widow (Elemental Assassin, #12)Black Widow by Jennifer Estep
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another excellent Elemental Assassin novel. Gin Blanco, the spider pits her wits against another elemental adversary. In the Black widow it is Mab Monroe’s daughter Madeline. The elemental assassin novels are set in Ashland and Gin has her work cut out with Madeline who seems to be one step ahead of Gin and her friends. Ms Estep takes you on a roller coaster journey as Gin fights not only Madeline but the local police. This is an excellent series, I love them.
