Stygian by Sherrilyn Kenyon Dark Hunter, #27 Paranormal Romance August 28, 2018 Tor Reviewed by Tori Born before man recorded time, I lived for thousands of years, believing myself to be something I’m not. Someone I’m not. Lied to and betrayed by gods, Daimons, and Dark-Hunters, I’ve struggled to find my way in a world where I’ve been cursed since the moment a vengeful goddess prematurely ripped me from my mother and planted me into the womb of an innocent woman who thought me Continue Reading
Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts
Cross Breed by Lora Leigh Breeds #23 Paranormal Romance September 25, 2018 Berkley Reviewed by Helyce Note: Might be a little bit rambly... I remember when I found the Breeds. I came upon a book at my local used bookstore. I don’t remember which one it was, but it fueled my love of science fiction with its very imaginative theme of altering genetics and creating a completely different species by splicing animal and human DNA. Not a human who could shift into an animal--something Continue Reading
Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts on Maverick by Cheryl Brooks
Hello friends, it has not been a good reading week. I had 4 books drop on 9/4 and I only read one and a half. I had high hopes of relaxing and reading over my Labor Day Weekend, but it just didn’t work out that way for me. I’m more hopeful for the upcoming weekend. My kids have settled in to their college routines and have their own plans for the weekend, my hubby also has plans for the weekend, so I’m crossing my fingers for some reading and me time. Maverick by Cheryl Brooks (Cat Continue Reading
Helyce’s Thursday Thoughts
Awaken the Darkness by Dianne Duvall (Immortal Guardians #8) Paranormal Romance July 10, 2018 Self Published Blurb: He awakens encapsulated in dirt with no knowledge of how he came to be there. Riddled with injuries, he can remember neither his past nor who he is. Nor can he remember what he is. But surely no mortal man could survive being buried deep beneath the earth. All he knows with certainty is that the soothing voice and presence of the woman moving around above enables him to Continue Reading
Thursday Mini Reviews
Hi everybody!! Tori here. Due to time constraints from a new job, Helyce was nice enough to let me slide into her space today to review two of my FAVORITE authors, Jennifer Estep and Molly Harper. Venom in the Veins by Jennifer Estep Elemental Assassin, #17 Paranormal Romance June 12, 2018 Self Published Gin Blanco, restauranteur and Ashland's latest boss of its underworld, is shocked when Stuart Mosley, Finn's boss and Gin's friend, is assaulted and almost kidnapped.

Review: Ocean Light by Nalini Singh
Ocean Light by Nalini Singh The Trinity #2, Psy-Changeling #17 PNR Berkley June 12, 2018 Favorite Quote: They might only have a fragment of an instant in time, but he’d make that fragment extraordinary. Ocean Light is Bowen Knight's story; the leader of the Human Alliance and one of the leaders in the Trinity Accord. Fans have been expecting his story, straddling the fence and withholding our forgiveness over his past deeds. Bowen had an experimental chip put in that blocks the Psy's Continue Reading
Tori’s Tuesday Teasers
Wild Hunger by Suzanne Wright Pheonix Pack, #7 Paranormal Romance May 29, 2018 Half-shifter Frankie Newman didn't know what to think when she received an email from a person claiming to be her aunt. She was taken from the pack as a child after she witnessed her father killing her mother then himself as a child. Her grandparents who raised her repeatedly told her that her deceased father's family wanted nothing to do with her. Now they claim to not only want to see her but have been trying Continue Reading
Sheena’s Wistful/Wanton Wednesday!

Mandi is Monday, Tori Tuesday, Sheena Wednesday, Helyce Thursday and Kini Friday. The Top Ten will be coming back this week, and we will still post a wrap-up and Smex Scene over the Continue Reading
Review: How to Marry a Werewolf by Gail Carriger
How to Marry a Werewolf by Gail Carriger (Claw & Courtship #1) Released: May 13, 2018 Historical Paranormal Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Gail Carriger writes such cute, quirky books and in this novella (although it felt like a long novella) she gives us a grumpy werewolf hero and a human heroine who loves to collect rocks. Faith had an indiscretion with a werewolf in Boston (it's hinted at in the blurb and you will learn more about it as you read) and her family shuns her and Continue Reading
Review: Blood Type by K.A. Linde
Blood Type by K.A. Linde (Blood Type #1) Released: April 24, 2018 Paranormal Romance Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi I'm always up for trying a new vampire romance series. I'm not sure if I noticed in the blurb where it states that this couple's HEA continues into book two - this one ends in a bit of a cliffhanger. So be aware for those who don't like an unfinished HEA in book one. But let me also state, that cliffhanger or not, I had some problems with this one. In this world, Continue Reading
