Review: A Shade of Vampire

A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When Sofia is kidnapped she finds herself trapped on an island of vampires with no hope of escape and her only hope of survival is putting her trust in one of her enemies.

I really enjoyed this book a lot. Derek was written in a way that the reader was able to sympathize with him and at the same time fear what he was capable of just like Sofia was. Sofia had a strong personality but came off quite rational in the situation she found herself in.

Review: Ours is Just a Little Sorrow

Ours is Just a Little Sorrow by Gwen Hayes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved this book! I loved the mix of steampunk Victorian with the futuristic dystopian world. Violet was an exceptional lady, I loved her attitude. Gideon was so fun, I loved his character.

The only bad thing about this book is that I wish it had been longer.

Review: Styxx

Styxx by Sherrilyn Kenyon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I read Acheron's book I hated Styxx but this just goes to show you there are two sides to every story and Styxx ended up having it worse than even Acheron could imagine.

Yes I have to confess it did drag on in parts but overall the story was interesting and really tied everything together. Seeing the same event from different perspectives completely changes the whole thing.

Review: Wyoming Bride

Wyoming Bride by Joan Johnston
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hannah needs to get her two sisters out of Boston and the only way she can do that is to become a mail order bride. Unfortunately, tragedy strikes leaving her husband dead and Hannah off alone not knowing where her sisters are. If that wasn't bad enough she is with child. Now saved by Flint she strives to keep her secret from him but Flint has a secret of his own he is trying desperately to hide too.

Hannah seemed like a spoiled kid (not as much so apparently as Hetty) but still. I did not like her overall character and attitude towards Flint but at the same time I did not really like Flint as a character that much either. Flint in my opinion left much to be desired, he was pigheaded (which isn't all that too surprising) but the way he went about dealing with Hannah was just so abrupt and standoffish I found it to be an extreme turn off.

Review: Within a Dream

Within a Dream by Tempest C. Avery
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I personally liked the first three books Tempest C. Avery did about these characters. The story was still a little confusing in the beginning but I felt like the plot and characters as a whole were explained better. Those stories also had a lot more of the adventure and suspense that I was hoping to find in this one. While not bad, I think I would have liked it a lot better if I had not read the other ones.

Review: Texas Bride (Mail-Order Brides #1)

Texas Bride (Mail-Order Brides #1) by Joan Johnston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Miranda turned 18 she has no choice but to leave the orphanage and settle on the prospect of becoming a mail order bride with her two brothers.

Miranda and Jake were so cute together, I loved all of their back and forth banter. The kids added an extra element to the story that really made it interesting.

Review: A Blaze of Sun

A Blaze of Sun by Bella Forrest
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An interesting turn of events. So much happens in each of these books I do t know how the series can last as long as it does. I really liked how brave Sofia's character is and her sense of what is right and wrong. The ending was a surprise.
