Feral Omega (Ghost Alpha Unit, #1) By Lenore Rosewood review 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 


Feral Omega (Ghost Alpha Unit, #1)
By Lenore Rosewood

Where do I start? The spice in this book is fantastic, but it’s not the whole story—there’s a dark, lush, and intriguing plot woven in that completely pulls you in. You find yourself getting lost in the mystery, asking What happened? Why is he like this? What made her this way?

It’s such a fantastic start to the series, and I devoured the whole book in hours, completely unable to sleep because I just needed to keep reading.

Wraith has to be my favorite—I don’t even know how to put it into words. My heart bleeds for him, and I desperately hope he gets the warm love and sunshine he needs and deserves.

Hands down, a magnificent first book!

5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

That Time I Got Drunk And Saved a Human (Mead Mishaps, #3) by Kimberly Lemming. Easy 4 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is the last book in the Mead Mishaps series. I totally loved it, but I felt like I didn’t enjoy it as much as books one and two. There was a little less spice and maybe a bit more story, but I also felt like a few things were left unaddressed, which bugged me a little.

That said, I absolutely loved the leading characters, the banter, and how much I laughed and giggled. Overall, the Mead Mishaps series was fantastic, and because each book isn’t super long, it didn’t take me long to read them all.

Easy 4 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf by Kimberly Lemming 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Easy 5-star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 read! This book is not just funny—it’s hilarious! The spice in this story gets your heart racing. The storyline is lighter and not as plot-driven as the relationship side, which, surprisingly, I didn’t mind.

I found Felix absolutely adorable—I got major golden retriever vibes from him. Brie was epically amusing and sassy. It was a quick, easy read that left me feeling warm and happy inside.

Lights Out by Navessa Allen (Audiobook) review 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 
There are a few books that leave me questioning:
A) What did I just read/listen to?
B) Why, in the good gods, did I like it so much?

I felt like I listened to something so spicy it might burn my skin off—or leave me red-faced while sitting on the train with my headphones in. The narrators of this book deserve a pay raise, no question. And the number of times I burst into giggles at the banter or the inner monologue from the leads? Too many to count.

I’m not really sure how to sum up or explain why I liked it so much, but it was funny, dark, and absolutely packed with spice. Well, worth the time, whether you’re reading or listening!

That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming 

How to sum up this book? Short, sweet, and dirty.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this book, but wow—did it exceed my expectations! Super funny, with an FMC who was witty and amusing. While she doubted herself, she was braver than she thought.

The πŸ”₯ heat in this book by the halfway point was nice. While I’ve read books with a lot more spice, I have to say this one had just the right amount, balancing the story and spice well for such a short book.

I can honestly say I was impressed and could see this making it onto my reread pile. A must-read for anyone looking for a short, fun fantasy read with spice and laughs!

Easy 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Wrath of the Dragon King by Brandon Mull


Wrath of the Dragon King (Dragonwatch, #2)Wrath of the Dragon King by Brandon Mull
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 2 of the Dragonwatch series is a total rollercoaster - where do I even start? The narrative seamlessly continues from the first book, and I found myself completely enraptured by the twists and turns. I experienced a whirlwind of emotions - worry, uncertainty, and a plethora of feelings, the kind that all good books gift you when written with exceptional world-building and characters.

This book delves deeper into a few new characters, and there's one I dislike with a fiery passion at this point, but it all contributes to this crazy ride.

More than once, I thought I had everything figured out, only to be completely shocked at the end. I wasn't expecting that and felt totally floored. I can't express how immensely I loved this book; it's quickly become one of my favorites out of the two I've read so far.

Now, I can't wait to move on to the next book, though I'm a bit worried and unsure of where it might go. Let's hope it's as amazing as this one

Dragonwatch (Dragonwatch, #1)Dragonwatch by Brandon Mull
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Guess who's back in the enchanting world of Fablehaven? Yep, it's me! So, after devouring the first set of books that wrapped up the saga, I never thought there'd be more. But then, bam! News of new books in the same world hits, and I'm all in. Enter the Dragonwatch series, starring the same awesome kids from Fablehaven. That alone had me sold.

Now, I'll admit I was a bit worried. I mean, I loved Fablehaven so much that I feared the new books might not live up to it. But you know what? I tore through the first book in record time, and oh boy, did I love it.

It's got everything—adventure, danger, magic, you name it. And let me tell you, it kicks off with a bang. No slow buildup here; the author catapults us straight into the action, and I'm loving every moment of it.

I wish I could spill all the details, but spoilers, right? All I can say is, this new series has me seriously hopeful for what's to come. Solid five stars from me!

Crimson Queen (Blood & Flame Saga #4) Crimson Queen by E.A. Winters

 

Crimson Queen (Blood & Flame Saga #4)Crimson Queen by E.A. Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So, I blitzed through the whole series in record time, and here we are at the last book. No disappointments, folks. The storyline, true to form, picked up right where the last left off, and within a few chapters, chaos ensued. Old faces resurfaced, playing their parts—some causing trouble, others adding to the stakes.

Without giving too much away, let me just say this book made me despise two characters so intensely that I wished I could reach into the pages and give them a piece of my mind. But hey, that just made everything more intense, right?

I appreciated the turnaround of some characters; it warmed my heart and solidified my appreciation for the series. While I missed a few characters from the previous book, it was clear they found what they'd been searching for—the promise our lead had made.

Now, the ending—no spoilers, but it went out with a bang. It wrapped up nicely, yet left a lingering tone, suggesting there might be more if the author chooses to explore it. That open-endedness lets your imagination run wild.

In conclusion, a fantastic series that's absolutely worth a read. The quality and storyline blew me away. Sad it's over, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on what the author cooks up next. πŸ“šπŸ”₯

Noble Claims (Blood & Flame Saga #3) Noble Claims by E.A. Winters

 

Noble Claims (Blood & Flame Saga #3)Noble Claims by E.A. Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So, Book 3—it's a wild ride. We get to meet a bunch of new characters, and let me tell you, a couple of them really got under my skin. Like, I-want-to-feed-them-to-a-dragon level of annoyance. But hey, that just means the author knows how to make you care, right?

The action might not be as crazy as the last book, but there's something about the story that keeps you hooked. I couldn't put it down, especially towards the end. Yeah, I might have shed a tear or two. Don't judge; it got emotional.

What surprised me was that the main character kinda steps back in this one. Usually, that bugs me, but it worked. Other characters got a chance to shine, and you see different sides of them. It's like the author decided to shake things up a bit, and I'm here for it.

Honestly, I think I liked this one even more than the last two. Maybe it's the twists, maybe it's the characters coming into their own. As I gear up for the last book, fingers crossed that it wraps up this saga just as strong. πŸ“š✨

Broken Bonds (Blood & Flame Saga #2) Broken Bonds by E.A. Winters

 

Broken Bonds (Blood & Flame Saga #2)Broken Bonds by E.A. Winters
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book 2 of the Blood and Flame Saga picks up right where the last book left off. The writing maintains its easy-to-read quality, allowing me to finish the book within a few hours. The storyline was enjoyable, although there were moments when I desperately wanted to slap some characters and scream at them. It was challenging for me not to get irritated and disappointed with certain characters' behaviors, but that emotional engagement is part of the joy of reading. Semra is a complex lead character, exhibiting both strength and vulnerability. While her inner struggles sometimes frustrate me, I can empathize with her character, and I hope to see some positive changes in the next book.

Overall, the book was excellent. Was it better than the first one? I'm not certain. It maintained the same level of quality, but I can't definitively say it surpassed the first. I was content with the overall story and character development. The only aspect that slightly disappointed me was the shift between characters, something that wasn't as prominent in the first book. Nevertheless, I'm very satisfied with my reading experience and look forward to the next installment.

Description: Every month, the great black dragon comes.

That's all the village of Kalma knows.

But Semra was one of those children, and she knows the truth: there is a dragonlord in the mountain, raising the children into his own personal syndicate of assassins.

When seventeen-year-old Semra learns they aren’t fighting evil but are in fact evil themselves, she risks everything to expose the dragonlord. As one young, nobody assassin against the king's security and an army of her former colleagues bent on her destruction, Semra must uncover the truth and save the royal family before the dragonlord rips them apart and plunges the kingdom into war.


Review

 Where do I start with this... 'Dragon's Kiss' is book one of the Blood & Flame Saga by E.A. Winters. I stumbled across this book while trying to find something new to read after finishing the Fablehaven series and waiting for my new books to get here. I was a little worried at first due to the fact that it was free with Kindle Unlimited, but I am a massive sucker for dragons and assassins, and reading the book details, it had both, so I downloaded it.

The book was easy to read, the wording and descriptiveness of places good but not overdone to the point where the reader has spent a whole page describing a rock. No, the writing style here was clear and easy, which made reading the book easy. As someone that loves to read at a fast pace, I was not finding myself lost in the mass of overcomplicated wording or looking stuff up to find out what something was. I found the writing here very smooth, which made my submersion into the book easy.

The storyline of the book was interesting and exciting. From the first page, it throws you into the world headfirst, like I was being waterboarded in a dungeon. I dislike books that are slow, and nothing happens until the 8th chapter. By that point, I am normally bored and uninvested, but there was no problem with this book. It started in the action and carried on throughout with moments of respite that gave you a second to breathe before you are hit with the next full force of action.

The lead female, Semra, is very likable. I love my main characters to have a lot of heart and a great story to tell. The banter between Semra and some of the others is amazing and had me smiling throughout. Now, let's move on to my downsides...

I felt that Zezura did not get as much use as I would have liked. I felt a little disconnected to her and underwhelmed by her usage sometimes, which is as I felt like more could have been done with her. The last thing has to be the description. I found myself almost forgetting what people looked like or wondering if they had been described and having to go back and check. Apart from that, I was totally impressed and blown away by the quality and fantastic story. I can't wait to read the next in the series.

Well-earned 4 stars.

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black review

The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air, #1)The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Holly Black's Modern faerie tales series happens to be one of the first series that I read from the author and while it was a while ago I still remember how good the series was and how much I enjoyed it so when I saw this book by the same author I was excited to give it a try I had pretty high expectation given I had already see what the Author could weave into a book and I was not disappointed

I found that The cruel prince was such an easy read which shocked me given how amazing and interesting and dark the book was times I feared I might find myself getting bored of the whole political side of things but in truth I found myself eating the book up like I was half starved in truth. The character are all solid and have such detailed differences rather then some book where you can tell the difference from one character from the next and the only true difference is normally the main but not in this book each character was highly thought over and made into solid players in the book which made it all the more interesting to read.

Now the story is unlike any I have read before well thought out and made into something stunning and dark it gave me such a smile while reading it and not knowing where it was going. When you read a book we all try and guess the outcome or the love intrest or who might back stab who or what the characters are shaping into so many things but sometimes when you start and already pretty much know where the story is heading it came be a little bit of a let down so reading this was like being blind folded and told to find a exit in a maze and no matter how much you tried you are not getting out and it was so exciting reading a book that was totally out of your reach to guess and it left you suprices and happy when you are wrong it was a thrill so pleased.

I don't think I found anything that made me question how splendid the book was normally while reading there is always something that makes you mad or just a little thing that disappointed you but nothing I read this book and not once did I find something that had me question how perfect I found this book. I could really sing praises to this book all day long and only have one problem now waiting for book two is going to kill me.

Roar by Cora Carmack review

Roar (Stormheart, #1)Roar by Cora Carmack
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Speechless... I mean really just wow this book was spectacular like hands down one of the best books I've read this year no scrap that this book is up that with my all time favorites like no lie it was great.

I enjoyed the storyline sooooooooo much that I lost track of time that people in real life are trying to communicate that at some point I really should eat and drink. It was like I fear the moment I stopped reading I would be pulled out of the world and lose it forever. The story was different and exciting and so many things that I was buzzing with each word each page. I was gripping the edge of my seat begging for it not to end and by the time I hit the last page I did not know if I should stand and have a little dance in happiness or cry because it was at an end I mean really it was that good for me and i hands down found no real fault that had me doubting how good it was.

If I had to pick hole maybe the leads mood swings up I got it and understood that by the end it was like the book was a present meant for me and there was no need to return and get my money bad best gift ever. I had my favorite characters but even then I loved them all for what they added to the story how it belt layers and made things clear for me and overall the author gets a massive round of applause from me and a massive thank you so much for making this book totally brilliant that I could reread it over and over again. This one is in my top ten all-time loved books and I know the moment I get a chance to read the next all over book will be put aside so it can have my full undivided attention of with it deserves.

For right now I'm about to pass out and sleep before the sun comes up and reminds me its almost daylight outside
