A Sorceress of His Own by Dianne Duvall

I liked it! I did not like it as much as I have liked Dianne Duvall's Immortal Guardian series.  It was still pretty good.  I was a little worried when Alyssa went to work for a man she was in love with.. even though she had never met him.  But it turned out okay.  She if a gifted one.  She can heal and a few other abilities.  She works for Dillon.. they Earl that she is madly in love with for 7 years.  He along with everyone else thinks she is an old woman.  Well there are a bunch of rumors about what she looks like because she never shows her face.  She is a mystery. But for the last 7 years her an Dillon have grown close as friends.

She saves him from a mortal wound and Seth and Roland show up!! yay :) I love me some Seth.  And they show Alyssa's family (who are all gifted ones) how to heal her.  So that was pretty cool.  I liked that Seth and Roland were added in there.. even if it was only for a minute.  This is the first time Dillon sees her and then realized that she is a young babe.  So obviously he then falls madly in love with her.  Eh. Some parts were a little too cheesy for me.  But I can over look that because the rest was good.

The story takes awhile to get started but overall it was worth the read.  I will defiantly keep going with this series!

Shadows Strike by Dianne Duvall

It should come to no surprise that I adored this book.  Dianne Duvall can do no wrong in my eyes.. or eyes since I listened to the audiobook.  I will not lie, I was worried about this one just because of the whole him being in love with Lisette thing.. That usually drives me crazy.  I want my male lead to be totally focused on the female lead in my books but he totally was.  Once he met Heather he was all "Lisette who?"

oohhh and then there was the double date scene and I was like Dianne girl what are you doing but it actually turned out okay.  Heather is a cool girl.  I gotta say I would have a hard time with the guy I love being friends with someone he slept with for a century. Especially since Ethan thought he loved her.  But really it was obvious that Ethan only wanted Heather.  If there was even one minute of doubt from him I would have hated him.  I know that is unfair because he thought he loved Lisette for 100 years and that isn't something you just give up.  I get that.  But I am a jealous little reader.  He realized that he did love Lisette but only as a friend and I was very okay with that.

And yay so was Heather! She was pretty awesome always running in and saving Ethan.  Psh, almost dying and what not.  I liked her a lot.  And I really, really hope that Aiden get his book next.  I love him.  I think he is a fun character and omg Jared!!! ahhh.

Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night by Kresley Cole

LOVED IT!! I listened to the audiobook and holy crap the accents!  Very well done.  I enjoyed this book very much.  I love Kresley Cole's Lykaes.  I have struggled with the vampire books but I loved the ones about the Lykaes.

I loved Bowen and Mari.  I actually really liked both.  I am not going to lie I wanted to kill Bowen after he said the wrong name.  I would have removed certain parts of him if I were Mari but other than that he was werewolf perfection. And I loved seeing Mari bring him back to life.  Even while they were "hating" each other at the beginning they were playing with each other and having fun.  I think that was exactly what Bowen needed.  I think Mari was the perfect fit for him.

Anyways.. the story.. well there really wasn't much of a plot until the end.  They were just trying to get back home for most of the book.  It was super entertaining though. I enjoyed it at least.  But that's because I loved both characters and they made me laugh. I also loved all the side characters that were with them in the journey.  They were funny and I am glad that Cade and Ry are getting their own book soon!

Rogue by Karen Lynch

Oh I did not like this book at all. And not just because Sara drove me crazy half the time.  Because she did do that.  She was extremely selfish especially when it came to anything with Nikolas.  It seemed she lied a lot to him.. And thats just not a good way to have a relationship.

And holy crap balls their relationship was awkward in this book!! Was it that way in the others?  I don't remember it being that way.  Their freaking dinner date was so uncomfortable to read.  I don't read a lot of YA books anymore just because a lot of the cutesy stuff usually makes me want to barf but to me they weren't even like that "omg they are soo cute".  No they were just awkward.

Besides the relationship the book was okay.  I liked Jordan.  I think she would have been a stronger female lead.  Well at least in this book.  I don't remember hating Sara in the other books.  I remember thinking she was selfish but I loved the other ones! Hell I feel like I have been waiting on Rogue to come out FOREVER.  But I am extremely disappointed.

I am glad that everything is tied up with the master and all that jazz.  But the book was just ehh. Not at all as good as I was expecting.  Still glad I read it though.  I did have to know how everything ended.

Sin Undone by Larissa Ione


I honestly wasn't a huge fan of this book.  Mainly because I wasn't a huge fan of Sin. She had that whole "tough girl" thing that I like most of the time but the way Sin acted towards others was just obnoxious.  She doesn't need anyone because she's tough. Bull shit chica.  Shut up and accept help from your family.

I liked Con.. kinda.  I liked him a lot more than I liked Sin and I defiantly liked him at the end of the book but he was an acquired taste.  He was kind of a dick at first but so was Sin so really what did she expect?

I was sad for the Demonica series to end.  It is not secret that I haven't LOVED the series as much as some other but it has been entertaining and I have enjoyed seeing the boys (and I guess Sin) grow up and find their mates and be happy :)

The Moonshadow's Daughter by Kaylie Newell


Eh.. okay well let me just say that I got this ARC from net galley and I have not read the 2 books before this one.  I think it read fine as a stand alone though.  I did not feel like I was missing any vital information at all.  In fact if I hadn't looked up the series I would never had known it was a from a series.

The story was good.. I always have issues with books when children are involved but that's just me and honestly Aimee was so amazing with Jake's son.  I was super impressed by her.  I think that Jake thought about his dead wife too much.. I know that sounds insensitive because it hadn't been that long. but if he also falls in love with a young "dead" girl. So I mean.. I think that there should have been more time for him to grieve his wife and then move on.

I tend to be a jealous reader.. I want my male hero to be all about the heroine.  And yes Jake does get there at the very, very end but it took him the whole book to get there.  The relationship kind of seemed almost fatherly to me at times and that was also creepy.

I dunno.  It was good! defiantly worth reading!

Night Unbound by Dianne Duvall


Be still my beating heart... I freaking love this series so freaking much I can't stand it!  This book was so good!!

I was a little nervous about this on just because Lisette and Zach were both immortals.. well Zach isn't technically an immortal but I was just afraid that there wasn't going to be that tension between them like there have been with all the other immortal couples.  And then the added tension with turning them.  I always loved that.  But honestly this book did not need that tension at all.

Zach is obviously different and I have wanted to know more about since he warned Seth his phone was broken and who doesn't love Lisette.  I loved learning more about Seth too.


And yay the baby was finally born!

Loved how everything was woven into this book.  "The others" were sprinkled in.  I am glad we are finally learning more about them.  And I am freakin glad that Zach got away from them!! Their relationship is adorable.  I love that Zach lets her be herself without going too caveman.
