Review: Carl

Carl by Brianna West
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed reading this book. I've loved getting to know all of the Promiscus Guardians characters from the very first novel in this series, and getting to witness each of them as they encounter and deal with the avalanche of feelings that go along with relationships along the way. Get ready for intense relations with both a dominant vampire and a driven were-bear.

Carl is the Guardian that has always been the reserved type, and even manages to keep his shifting tendencies at bay unless absolutely necessary. Travel is definitely a main aspect of this novel, and keep in mind the fact that this book involves both negative and positive relationships. I'll just say that I may have even felt a sliver of kinship with Carl after a few of his experiences in this book.

**This novel involves steamy scenes involving males only, so keep that in mind before you read it.

Review: Insatiable Darkness

Insatiable Darkness by LM Preston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give this novella about 4.5 stars.

I really enjoyed reading this novella. It focuses on EmVee, a girl that trains in fighting and has just moved into this new town with her family. She feels like something is off about the newest town they've moved to, but can't quite put her finger on why it feels this way.

I don't want to give away too much in this review, since this is a novella and prequel, not a full length novel. That being said, the main reason I give it 4.5 stars instead of 5 is that the fantasy based aspect of this book did not come into play until you are nearly done reading it...with no hints of anything alluding to it when reading the entire beginning of the book, despite the fact that the cover alludes to it having a very strong mystical presence.

All that to say, I did enjoy this story line and getting to know the characters in it. I look forward to reading more books in this series in the future. I'd recommend this book to people that are fans of books about jocks and professional fighters told from a YA safe perspective, with a low key paranormal flair that gets very real very fast, but won't peek around the corner until you are close to finishing things up.

Review: Relic Guardians Boxset: Ancient Magic, Hidden Magic, Cursed Magic

Relic Guardians Boxset: Ancient Magic, Hidden Magic, Cursed Magic by Meg Cowley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed reading this series. In this urban fantasy set, Zoe Stark works as a relic investigator, which grants her the freedom to travel, discover new sites and historical artifacts, and unfortunately encounter the potential danger affiliated with them. In all episodes, magic is definitely included.

Keep in mind that these books are all fairly short reads, so no need to feel bogged down with the task of reading them (which usually means it ends up on a never ending pile of 'to be read' books we just never find time to get to), and this set is YA friendly as well. If you enjoy Indianana Jones and Tomb Raider, then you will probably enjoy reading this set.

Review: Cursed Magic

Cursed Magic by Meg Cowley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading this book. Zoe and Jamie set out to investigate and prevent absolute devastation as a result of opening Pandora's Box. This book includes plenty of adventure, romantic interludes related to a past relationship, danger, magic, and so much more. I recommend this book to fans of historical relics and easy to relate to characters.

Review: Prophecy of Darkness

Prophecy of Darkness by Michelle Bryan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading this book. I'll admit it took me a while to get into once I started it, but I was able to enjoy this epic fantasy once the story line clicked for me. Royal siblings set out to find and retrieve the magic that was stolen from their realm. As they make their journey, they encounter baddies and are able to witness first hand the devastation left behind with no magical flourish left for their people. I'd recommend this book to readers that are fans of epic adventure/fantasy books with magic that focus on royal parties, kingdoms and the like.

Review: Wilder Legacy

Wilder Legacy by G.K. DeRosa
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed reading this book. It combines the thrill of adventure with the supernatural and expectations to meet family demands, but still finishes up the series with a HEA ending. I'd recommend this book to anyone that has read the previous books in The Guardian series by th is author.
