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.

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.

Darkness Rises by Dianne Duvall

Love it! Not that I am surprised at all.  I have loved this entire series.  Dianne Duvall is just fantastic and she knows how to write an engaging book.  I can't stop once I start.  I started the audio book at work but my work day ended and I wanted to stay.. ! seriously that's how into the book I was.

Krysta was another badass female lead like the rest of the women in this series.  What I love about these books is that yes they all can seriously kick some ass but they all do it differently and all the stories are different.  A lot of times you get the same story repeated over and over again and so far that hasn't happened.  Krysta started off as a Vampire hunter.  Hello! Awesome!

I was a little worried about Etienne.. just because he hasn't really played a large role in the other books.  He has kind of been in the background in most.  And not that his ability isn't amazing but it is kind of generic and he is relatively young for an immortal. SO I was a little worried that his story was going to be kind of bland.  But he was sweet and funny and I liked him and Krysta together.

And everything else that you find out in this books kind of makes up for the (kind of) boring romance.  And I mean KIND OF.  I loved them really they are adorably perfect together and will make one hell of a fighting team but yeah... the story.. they have a traitor!!! duh duh duh... is that how you would type that sound?  y'all get the picture.  Things are getting interesting.

Plus can we just take a moment and swoon over Zach?  I really hope I am not getting my hopes up for nothing. And I am getting my hopes up about him. He has wings. Therefore he trumps the rest of them. Let's hope Lisette doesn't totally suck too!

Phantom Shadows by Dianne Duvall

I am completely obsessed with this series! AH! Dianne Duvall knows how to write a fantastic paranormal book.  It has just the right amount of romance and just the right amount of action.  This is my new favorite series.  I just finished this one and I am currently listening to the fourth book Darkness Rises as I'm writing this... no joke y'all I can't stop.

Melanie is a badass! I love her.  I love that Sebastian tries to keep her at a distance but Melanie doesn't let him. And I love that she doesn't let what everyone else says about Bastion sway how she feels about him.  I think it says a lot about her that she stuck up for him in front of everyone when no one else would.  Especially since she didn't really know any of the immortal guardians all that well.  I love strong female leads and she was defiantly that.

And then Sebastian .. I knew I would love him. I always seem to love the guy everyone else hates. But he is so adorably awkward sometimes.

What I love the most about these books is how she can bring in different POV and not make it overwhelming.  It's obvious that there are two main characters in each book but then there will be a chapter or two in Seth's or one of the previous main characters POV and I love it.  It keeps you connected to everyone as a whole but still focused on the main characters love story.  I have read a few books that have tried to pull this off and NONE of them have.  I am completely in love with it.

OH MY GOD!!  AMI!!!  ahhh!!! Seriously. What a bomb to drop on me at the end. Not cool Dianne.  Not cool.  Kidding. Just means I have to jump right into the next one.. which I am. so job well done :)

Night Reigns by Dianne Duvall

I have no idea why I put off reading this book for so long because I loved it!  I think I was a little afraid Ami was going to be a weak female character because of the way Seth found her but hell no, she was a freaking bad ass.  When Seth first puts Ami and Marcus together Marcus does everything he can to get her to go away and she doesn't take any of it and she helps him fight the vampires.  If it wasn't for her Marcus would have been captured or killed.  and I LOVE that Marcus doesn't downplay what Ami can do either.  Even when he didn't want her there and he wasn't sure what he felt for her, he still was proud and boasted about her fighting skills and I freaking loved that.

I love her relationship with seth, David and Darnell.  Ahh and they all call her sweetheart.  Freaking adorable.  And I even like how Sebatian is protective of her.  Basically you can't hate Ami.  She is the sweetest person and if you wrong her or someone she loves she will kick you ass which makes her just freaking awesome.  She's one of my favorite characters ever I think.

One of my favorite things about this series is the relationship with all the characters.  Not just the two main ones but the close relationship with everyone.  I love the family atmosphere.  I love all the funny "mind" banter.   There isn't judgement, just acceptance.  Like with Ami's big secret.. They tell Chris and he doesn't say anything really. He just accepts it.  That to me was so freaking cool.  I fell a little in love with Chris at that moment.
