Books I read in January:
Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead – 4/5
My first joint review and I had a good time discussing this with Fiction Vixen. Great book, still need to read the rest in the series.
Afterlife by Naomi Clark – 2/5
This one didn’t quite work for me, but I am going to read Silver Kiss soon, which will revisit her werewolf world and I am looking forward to it.
Sinful Surrender by Beverley Kendall – 4/5
A great historical romance debut – lots of intense, lustful romantic tension.
A Black Tie Affair by Sherrill Bodine – 2/5
The romance and mystery in this book didn’t work for me.
Bad Blood by Mari Mancusi – 3/5
This is a cute paranormal young adult book – I recommend for a younger audience. A quick, more light-hearted read.
Spider’s Bite by Jennifer Estep – 5/5
First book in a new UF series, I loved it!! Very dark, exciting world and Gin is has become a favorite heroine of mine.
Ecstasy Unveiled by Larissa Ione – 4/5
I love the Demonica series and this fourth book is a great addition. Hot demons – can’t ask for more.
All Night With a Rogue by Alexandra Hawkins – 3/5
The title sums it up – Sin is a rogue and although I didn’t quite believe in their love affair, the end makes the book worth it.
Pride Mates by Jennifer Ashley – 2/5
Although I love her historical books, this paranormal fell flat for me. The romance was not believable and I never connected with the characters.
Succubi Like it Hot by Jill Myles – 4/5
I really enjoyed the second book in the Succubus Diaries. The love triangle between Jackie, Zane and Noah is done really well and I can’t wait for book three.
Crux by Moira Rogers – 4/5
I really enjoyed this paranormal romance and can not wait for Crossroads to come out February 9th.
This Side of Heaven by Fallon Blake – 3/5
Review coming this week.
Grey’s Awakening by Cameron Dane – 4/5
I never did an official review for this m/m romance, but I really enjoyed it. The sex in this book is hot and their journey to trust and love each other really worked for me. This is the first Cameron Dane book I have read and I will definitely read more. I really recommend this book for my m/m fans out there.
Legend of the White Wolf by Terry Spear – 3/5
Review coming this week.
Island of the Swans by Ciji Ware – 4/5
Review coming next week.
Shattered by Joan Johnston – 2/5
Review coming this week.
The Bride and the Buccaneer by Darlene Marshall – 4.5/5
Review coming this week.
Happy Hour of the Damned by Mark Henry – 4/5
Review coming this week.

A good reading month Mandi..
I am getting Pride Mate – as I am intrigue to see where the trilogy goes…
Afterlife – Not bad, not finished yet – but more or less what I expected…
Crux – I am stepping back from it for a while – something about it just make me gnash my teeth… I am going to revisit it in a few weeks…
Looking forward to your thoughts on Fallon Blake book…

I can't wait to see what you think of Mark Henry's book. I haven't read it, very curious about it.

Crux and Ecstasy Unveiled were both good ones.
Wow! January has been one of my worst reading months ever. However, I did add a few from your list to my TBR list.
You've been a busy bee ;)
Ah, Succubus Blues was just recommended to me (thanks Danielle) and I'm eager to see what you thought of the latest Darlene Marshall book, I've read all of her previous ones, which have been hit or miss with me.
