Review: The Dusk Gate Chronicles Boxed Set, Books 1-4

The Dusk Gate Chronicles Boxed Set, Books 1-4 by Breeana Puttroff My rating: 5 of 5 stars Have you ever read a book so vivid it stayed with you long after you finished it? A book that crept into your dreaming mind and left you with full vivid dreams that you remembered even after you woke up? This book, or should I say books since it's the first four books in the series did exactly that! I was in a reading funk looking for something completely different to cleanse my reading palate and now I'm hooked on this world. This is sort of a combination of sci-fi, with it's alternate dimension, a love story that transcends worlds (literally), some high fantasy with a struggle to reclaim her throne and some of the most memorable characters I've come across in a long time. Fans of S.L. Morgan's Guardians series will love this one. There are a lot of the same elements and story tropes found in both books with one exception...The Dusk Gate Chr...

A review of A hold on Me by Pat Esden

Image
A Hold On Me by Pat Esden Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this arc in exchange for a fair review! I don't even know where to start with this! I don't know what I expected, some romance with some thrills, but this was so much more! I liked the cover and I read the synopsis and thought okay this will give me a bit of love and all the darkness I just have to have! I didn't expect a few things, and I am still deciding if it would spoiler to review some of that! Annie (Stephanie) is a buyer of antiques and artifacts, and she is with her father when they make a purchase that seems innocent enough. Until her dad begins to change, and Annie desperately covers for him until a mistake with an antique poison ring alerts her father's lawyer that something is wrong. After she loses a battle with her Aunt and Grandfather over guardianship of her father, Annie returns to the home, her father fled from many years ago. Immediately things begin to change, and as Annie noti...

Happily Ever After... Review of Love me Love me not by Alyxandra Harvey.

Love Me, Love Me Not By Alyxandra Harvery Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of the Arc in exchange for a fair review.     Okay I really wanted to love this, but it fell short for me. I will get into the good, and bad here in a minute. I have read and loved other books by Alyxandra Harvey and will continue to do so. I picked this book and really didn't read the synopsis. I thought the cover looked great and I wanted to review some romance this month.... so then I saw reviews and no one was impressed and that worried me a tad, but I don't normally let anyone's opinion sway me, because I often find that what appeals to me can totally be unappealing to someone else. So if you look at reviews as your sole recommendation for reading a book, I think you should stop! lol no seriously you can use to as a tool, but I would never let another person's opinion make that decision for you. You may miss out on something wonderful for you. The Good:       I love th...

It's Chloe Neill Day!!!

Chloe Neill is with us today and she has graciously answered a few of the questions that you all submitted to her. 1. Is there a chance of a spin off series that focuses on the next generation of these characters? I have many ideas for book series of all varieties, but there are no concrete plans at this time. There will be 13 Chicagoland Vampires books and at least 3 Devil's Isle books. 2: Does Merit have shifter blood in her lineage? Nope! She was entirely human before becoming a vampire. 3: Does Mallory become an Ombusdman in this book or is she still going to become connected to House Cadogen as discussed in House Rules? Mallory is not an Ombudsman employee, and she doesn't work for Cadogan House. She does volunteer for both. 4: Midnight Marked is the second to last book in the Chicagoland Vampire Series. How do you feel about being so close to end of their story? I'll begin writing the last Chicagoland Vampires novel very soon (probably ...
