Always a pleasure

Revisado: 04-21-22

Another great installment. It’s always wonderful to visit the world of the others… Wonderful, terrifying, gory, and heartwarming somehow always wrapped up in a fantastic narrative.

This book perfectly melds the story of a cantina singer who’s adopted by a crime lord with fairy tale elements and beautiful prose.

Loved it

Revisado: 07-20-18

I love Helen Harper so very much. It took me a little while to reconcile that this wasn’t part of her Lazy Witch series lol (I knew it wasn’t but I was having withdrawals, and since it was the same cover artist a very small part of me hoped it was in the same world... so I didn’t read the blurb to stay blissfully ignorant), but once I accepted that, I really enjoyed it. Narrator was great. This book starts off with a bang, meanders into many a funny circumstance, and ends with it all coming together in a way I didn’t expect. Great characters. Hilarious as always. The ending wasn’t a full cliffhanger but ends in conflict.

Hot!

Revisado: 08-22-16

This book was hard to put down to the extreme. I have to say, it was the hottest kind of hot (like Death Valley in midsummer with an electric heat blanket, hot!).

Sweet

Revisado: 04-06-16

Cute and sweet. Deeper than I expected with some pretty horrific scenes (or mentions) of abuse. The book takes place over a week's time and definitely felt like a first episode rather than a complete story. 'Introductions' was a very apt name for this book. I'd suggest dipping your feet into this series, especially as this book is free in ebook and eligible for whispersync.

Conflicted on this one

Revisado: 04-06-16

Idk. Part of me wants to give this book one star because it was messed up, depressing and left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Yet, another part of me wants to give it ten stars because it was beautifully messed up, screwed all to hell, raw and I could not put it down. So, I'm just giving the warning that this is no light hearted romance. It actually could only loosely be called a romance, more a grief driven masochistic obsession.

Intense and emotional

Revisado: 04-06-16

I've been on an angst-ridden mature YA/NA romance binge listen/read (including authors Tijans Books, Jillian Dodd, Monica Murphy and C.L. Stone---all fantastic), most of the books were pretty screwed up, but this one might take the cake.

The author constructs a situation of a girl being a victim of extreme bullying and humiliation from a boy she once loved. She's pretty much obsessed and lusting after the boy for the whole book while not quite managing to hate him. His transformation over the course of the book was somewhat believable, but not one hundred percent. Her feeling were understandable as well, if not a little hard to digest. There was a lot of heat between the characters, and I definitely was addicted from beginning to end. I loved it mostly, but the emotions were a bit uncomfortable as was her obsession with her tormentor. I'd have liked her to be a little more independent minded- to match her independent spirited actions in the book. But all in all, the blurb gives a pretty good idea of what you're in for, so if it appeals to you, you'll prolly enjoy this one too

Fun, Flirty Book but I Wanted a Little More

Revisado: 04-03-16

So, from the cover and blurb, I thought this was YA. It's definitely not, which was fine with me but a bit of a surprise. Anyhow, I loved Helen Harper's other series, first book: Bloodfire, and this one was very similar. The magical system was very original in this book, a court of fae like people ruling the modern world. I would have liked a little more world building, I was confused on a couple points, like was the lands they kept crossing into a separate dimension or just kept separate by magic. Also, I felt there could be a little more descriptive narrative. I enjoyed the main characters and definitely felt some tension between the MC and Byron. I would have liked more, more relationship development, character development etc. I just picked up book two and I'm hoping to find that 'more' in there.
