REVIEW- WHEN A BETA ROARS BY EVE LANGLAIS


How degrading. Stuck babysitting a woman because his alpha said so. As Pride Beta, he has better things to do with his time, like washing his impressive mane, hunting down thugs for fun, and chasing tail—sometimes his own if his lion is feeling playful.

But his babysitting job takes an unexpected turn when the woman he’s assigned guard duty over turns out to be his mate.

A female threatened by an outside wolf pack.

A woman he wants to call his own.

A mate who doesn’t fall for his charm.

Usually Beta’s leave the roaring to the Pride’s alpha, but in this case given his level of frustration, he might have to make an exception. And if anyone doesn’t like it, they can kiss his furry tail.
Rawr!

REVIEW – OWL AND THE CITY OF ANGELS BY KRISTI CHARISH


The wild second adventure for unforgettable antiquities thief Owl—a modern-day “Indiana Jane” who reluctantly navigates the hidden supernatural world—from the pen of rising urban fantasy star Kristi Charish. For fans of Kim Harrison, Jim Butcher, Jennifer Estep, Jenn Bennett, and the like.

Alix Hiboux, better known as Owl, international antiquities thief for hire, is settling into her new contract job for Vegas mogul Mr. Kurosawa, a red dragon with a penchant for ancient, supernatural artifacts. And now he has his sights set on some treasures of the mysterious Syrian City of the Dead that are sitting in a recluse’s private collection.

There’s just one wrinkle. To stop the resurrection of an undead army that could wreak havoc on Los Angeles, Owl must break into a heavily guarded archaeological sight in one of the most volatile regions in the world. A detour through Libya and a run-in with Somali pirates sends the clock ticking hastily toward total paranormal disaster.

Meanwhile, Alexander and the Paris vampires have stopped stalking Owl’s apartment, but they have by no means forgotten their death grudge against her. To top everything off, Owl finds out the hard way that there is nothing heavenly about the City of Angels..

I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley for an honest review.

OWL AND THE CITY OF ANGELS just gets better, and better. The characters and story line are very well-developed. Owl is in trouble again. The IAA is after her for stealing several artifacts, but there is one catch, she did not do it. Yes, she stole a few, but not the ones they are accusing her for. She escapes Egypt and is determined to find who is out there stealing artifact in her name. After careful research they trace it back to the city of the dead. Someone is stealing cursed artifacts and selling them. Now, Owl must return those artifacts. During one of her retrievals, she accidentally touches one of the artifacts and is cursed. Now the clock is ticking and she must find a way to lift the curse or die. Oh, and she has to stop the people stealing the artifacts also. I love this series!! It is like Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider all in one. I also love her cat Captain, he steals the show. If you have not picked up the first book in this series, I really urge you to do so. You will love it. I give OWL AND THE CITY OF ANGELS 5/5 STARS.

REVIEW- WHEN AN ALPHA PURRS BY EVE LANGLAIS


A lion’s pride isn’t defined only by those he commands but also resides with his hair, so when a human dares to butcher Arik’s mane, he gets his revenge–and claims her as his mate.

A billionaire CEO and leader of the largest East Coast pride, Arik is a ladies man and a lion. Used to commanding others, and obedience, he can’t believe it when a hairdresser with tempting curves chops off a hunk of his precious mane.

But her biggest mistake is in running from him.

Run as fast as you can, little mouse, because this cat loves to chase–and pounce.

Oh, and he also likes to nibble on tender bits. What he doesn’t expect is to fall for a human woman, a woman who can make the impossible happen because everyone knows lions can’t purr…until now.

BOOK DESCRIPTION COURTESY OF AMAZON

WHEN AN ALPHA PURRS is a Purrrrfect start to a new series. From the first chapter the antics of Arik and Kira had me laughing. Arik is the Alpha of his Pride, and he is also very vain about his hair. When he goes to get his hair cut, his barber, is out-of-town and he cannot wait until he comes back. He demands Kira to cut his hair, when she is cutting his hair, she  lops off a larger piece. This leaves a gap in his hair.  She flees his wrath, and he follows. He senses that she is his mate. He looses her and goes to the office with a hat on. He goes back later and asks her nicely to correct the mistake. She does it because she feels bad that she did that to one of her grandfather’s clients. He is even better looking with shorter hair. When he asks her to dine with him that evening she tries to leave town. He catches her and takes her out anyway. When he takes her back to her apartment above the shop, he smell a wolf has recently been there. There was also written on the wall of the shop a warning for Kira. She lets Arik know that she left because of an ex-boyfriend who became obsessed with her, and was abusive. Now he has followed her here. Arik must keep Kira safe all the while trying to neutralize the threat to her. The antics of the other pride members, especially the females of the pride, will have you laughing out loud. I love Eve Langlais’ books. I give WHEN AN ALPHA PURRS 5/5 STARS.

REVIEW- WISH BOUND( A GRIMM AGENCY NOVEL) BY J.C. NELSON


From the author of Armageddon Rules, the fanciful and fun continuation of the Grimm Agency novels…

As a partner at Grimm’s magical Agency, Marissa Locks is used to working odd jobs. But when an evil queen reappears in Kingdom, life becomes too strange to handle…

Even when she’s not starting it, trouble follows Marissa everywhere. First there was the incident with the homicidal Fairy Godmother. Then there was the time she accidentally started Armageddon. But the problems that always seem to arise on Marissa’s birthday take the cake.

This year, her annual bad-luck presents include an army of invading goblins, the resurrection of two vengeful enemies from hell, and the return of the Black Queen, the evil sorceress whose reign of terror still haunts Kingdom and who happens to have claimed Marissa as her servant.

As Marissa’s friends try to save her from the Black Queen’s clutches, Marissa fights to end a bitter war that started before her birth. But her quest for peace is about to bring up some inconvenient truths about her own past—ones that might cost her the happily ever after she’s always dreamed of…

WISH BOUND is a whirlwind of action.  The characters and the story line are well-developed. It is Marissa’s birthday and anytime she is thrown a party and cake is involved bad things happen. So, she tries to avoid her birthday at all cost. When a routine mission brings her face to face with the Black Queen, she cannot say no to becoming her handmaiden. Everyone around her is in trouble, if she cannot stop the Black Queen. If she can stop an Armageddon, she should be able to stop her. This is such a great story! Marissa has grown so much since the series has first started, and her snarky comments are great. In this story also she will find out something about her background that will change everything that she thought she knew about herself. I cannot wait for more of Marissa. I give WISH BOUND 5/5 STARS, and recommend it to everyone.

REVIEW- CRUCIBLE ZERO BY DEVON MONK

crucible zero
The national bestselling author of Infinity Bell returns to her “fresh and unique”* world where the truce between the ruling Houses has shattered and chaos now reigns. Only one woman has the power to save the world—but she could also destroy it. . . .

Matilda Case never thought of herself as a hero. But because she is galvanized—and nearly immortal in her stitched, endlessly healing body—she doesn’t have much of a choice. Even if she doesn’t want to save the world, she’s the only one capable of traveling in time to do so.

But her rescue attempt hasn’t gone as planned. She’s stuck in an alternate universe, and her world is in danger of disappearing. Worst of all, an unfathomably powerful man who can also travel through history doesn’t want her to put things to rights. He’s willing to wage bloody war to stop Matilda, unless she surrenders control of time to him.

Now, with the minutes ticking, Matilda must make impossible decisions, knowing that one wrong choice will destroy her—and any chance of saving everything she loves. . . .

CRUCIBLE ZERO is a roller coaster ride of a great read. The characters and story line are well-developed. Matilda Has gone back in time to fix the Wings of Mercy to repair the timeline. Her timeline is not one she wants to go back to, because everyone she loves is dead. Now she won’t let that happen to this timeline and she will do anything to prevent it. Everything in this new timeline is different. The Galvanized are not thought of a heroes, but are dangerous killers. She is also having time overlaps. This is where two timelines are meeting and she is seeing different timelines. She must stop the one who wants to destroy her and everything and everyone she loves. This has been such a great book and series, that I cannot wait to see what Devon Monk has in store next. I loved CRUCIBLE ZERO and give it 5/5 stars and recommend it to everyone.
