Stolen Fate (The Mythean Arcana, #4)

Stolen Fate (The Mythean Arcana, #4)Stolen Fate by Linsey Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Imagine if you failed your fate and to make matters worse your future is insanity.

Talk about pressure, well that is exactly what happened to Fiona. Several fates predicted she alone would find the Book of Worlds. This Book is a magical pact that safe guards people of Earth from malicious gods. Something like a treaty. Only problem being after 10 years of futile searching she is empty handed! Now she is terrified to end up much like her father since he too was a Failte, One who failed their fate. Now everything rides on Ian MacKenzie. First stop Immortal Prison for Magical Deviants to bust said long shot out of prison.

Ian has been in a hellish prison for 100 years. His days consist of brutal and backbreaking labor followed by a lonesome nights in too close of quarters. He was startled to say the least when Fiona proposed this half crazed idea in breaking into a mortal Museum and stealing back this book. So it begins the cat and mouse game. But the rules get blurry when embers of like smolder into love. Ian would do and say anything to escape and Fiona needs this too bad to be concerned.

I was initially drawn to this book for the same reason I have read the other Linsey Hall books. I just love the way she articulates. She has a lyrical descriptive edge to her writing that forces me to read more of her books. Well played. Each book even though they are in the same series is dynamic in their own rite. Sure you see cameos of past characters but other than that she is a deep well of creativity and it shows in the uniqueness of each book.

Ian and Fiona have this desperation that is fueling them. They have a tragic need to help each other and at first you think well if that is the foundation so be it. Their situation is not as Black and White as it may seem. Lines get crossed, feelings get in the way and all of a sudden the self-sacrifices’ made are ones from the heart. Did I mention that these Mythean books are also some of the sweetest hottest reads I have read this year? I do like the tie me up type of adult books, yet the message is clearly laid down here just in the most divinely way possible. The sex is like a decadent chocolate you cannot have just one….NO they all must be sampled!

So pick up the book and prepare to have your days stolen away.

Lover, Divine (Mythos: Gods & Lovers #1)

Lover, Divine (Mythos: Gods & Lovers #1)Lover, Divine by A. Star
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Love is about accepting one another, trusting that each will act out of love and having faith that whatever will be will be.

What if you were in love with a God? What if he loves you and can give you now but not forever?

Your heart wants what it wants.

Siobhan and Apollo's story is really complex I felt as if they would have forever, yet he is a God and she is not. He is always honest yet I felt she gives all of herself and he can only give so much. The book was poetic and very sensual. Yet there was a sad undertone. To me at least.This will not inhibit me from reading the rest of the series, it actually intrigues me. Makes the story more... in a way. I found the writing and the plot to be well developed. The romance was define and tasteful. I enjoyed A.Star's book and look forward to reading more from this author.

Rogue Soul (The Mythean Arcana, #3)

Rogue Soul (The Mythean Arcana, #3)Rogue Soul by Linsey Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Linsey Hall's Mythean Arcana series has officially filled my book void.
I stumbled upon Lindsey Hall last month. Having read the first in this series I was compelled to follow up! Good Stuff right here!!

Lets just say that when loves excruciating caress does find you the future that unfolds just maybe less happy ever after and more...regret?

Rogue Soul is a rollercoaster of a read. With stolen fates and Gods on the run. you could not ask for a more eventful book.

Andrasta's story is one of death and renewal. 2 thousand years after she haphazardly switched places with Camulos in order to take his place as a Celtic god she wants a refund! Life as a Celtic god is unfeeling and Andrasta didn't know feelings would be something she would miss until it was too late. She just needed another skilled archer to take her place and she can live the good life on Earth.

Camulos the freed Celtic god shot down by Andrasta's aim, was living quite the dream in the amazon. He would be the perfect replacement for her! Little did she know she wasn't seeing the picture quite as clear. Andrasta had no idea that other Celtic gods played important roles in pushing Camulos out and they don't want him back.

Their journey is one of old and new. I loved the back story of Camulos and Andrasta the way back story... (wink) you'll know it when you get there. The fact that they have been dancing around one another for longer than Andrasta's lifetime was a fantastic spin I didn't see coming. The way Linsey Hall built this story up was just a work of art. With this story comes a spark of love that changes the Gods twice... First without knowledge then again with purpose.

Claiming His Mate (Crescent Moon, #2)

Claiming His Mate (Crescent Moon, #2)Claiming His Mate by Savannah Stuart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Picking up this book was no hardship especially since I read Tempting His Mate..So this being said and the fact the Alpha Werewolf stories really do it for me this book was hard to put down!

If you are like me and love the animalistic behavior of a man that only a woman can surface then you will be thrilled by this book!

Max McCray's wolf has been strung-out and feisty and maybe a tad bit horny ever since he encountered Lauren 6 months ago. Lauren Hayes happens to be a sexy jaguar and equally putout since meeting Max...this unexplainable restlessness has her inner cat surfacing. Now put these two in a situation that involves breaking and entering some stolen jewelry then sit back and watch the shit hit the fan...lol

With sex on the mind and nothing but time these two are destine for some rough and tumble. I enjoyed the twists and turns that sprouted throughout the book. Just when I thought I have read it all then the Crazy surfaces (you'll see) and I thought what a great spin!!! Which is yet another great example of why you should read this book.

Delirium (Reveler, #6)

Delirium (Reveler, #6)Delirium by Erin Kellison
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

#6 in the Reveler series picks up with our favorite man in a duster Harlen.
Harlen and Sera are balancing their affiliation with Chimera and their friendships with the rouge Revelers. You need operatives on the inside of Chimera to help ferret out the Oneiros hiding with in the system.

In this segment of the journey you see how far the Oneiros are willing to go. What the risks are being on the good side and without a doubt the loyalty shown between the Revelers on the run. As usual you have some heated passion. The love and devotion Harlen and Sera have is so pure I cringed every time I thought their number was up... I was like oh shit please don't let anything happen to either of them. The suspense in this book eats at you...you have no idea who the enemy is.

As this story comes to an end you get more info on how deadly a threat the sandman will be and more important the wait is over.... almost!

I personally love the build up and cliffhangers in each book. The series seems to be unfolding quickly each book rapidly follows the other and I wouldn't have the structure any other way.

I think the unique way the story picks up with a different couple and their trials and tribulations is a fun exciting way to get so much more for your $$ when it comes to series and books. The creative wholeness this series represents makes me feel like the author knew right where she wanted to take us and the ride has been a desirable one. Each book is crafted to perfection with rounded characters that are all different yet have qualities in common that you would want any hero to have: Determination.


This book was gifted in return for an honest review.

Flight from Hell (Otherworld #15.5)

Flight from Hell (Otherworld #15.5)Flight from Hell by Yasmine Galenorn
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Like other likeminded paranormal book lovers who doesn’t enjoy a D’Artigo sisters book?

Flight from Hell is a novella about Shimmer an outcast Blue Dragon that is sent to Earth as a punishment. With no powers to defend herself she soon falls prey to an elusive vampire (a upcoming enemy to the sisters if you ask me). Menolly is on the hunt for the vampire siring all the wreck loose vampire that are leaving a trail of blood in their wake, when she is asked to look in on Shimmer as a favor. This is when the shit really hits the fan.
First there seems to be an uncharted vampire taking up residence in Seattle. Alex Radcliffe, funny he runs in similar circles as the D’Artigo sisters, they know a lot of the same allies. I have a feeling he will be of great use in the future books. Working together the sisters and Alex pinpoint their nemesis.

I have loved these books in the past I found this one to be extremely descriptive. Like pages for the back drop and pages about the park and pages about how they all run in similar circles. Yet Shimmer doesn’t show up again until around 70% percent of the book has been read. That was what brought the stars down for me. It was all searching and chatting and then a brief moment of action followed by more question building for the next book. I hoped this was a standalone novella I was left unfulfilled. The good thing is if you have read this short story you can use it as an introduction to these new players in the D’Artigo sister’s books.

Unseen (Unborn, #2)

Unseen (Unborn, #2)Unseen by Amber Lynn Natusch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unseen the second book following up after Unborn where Khara the only surviving female child of Ares decides that the only answers she is going to get are waiting for her in Hell. Where is her mother? How did she fall? Why was she given up? How convenient The Dark One Oz is willing to transport her there for a price of course. Yet after his last deception who knows what Oz’s agenda has in store. One thing for sure is after finishing the book I am no closer to that answer….lol

Amber Lynn Natusch has this poetic rhythm ever present in these two books. This dark steady wordplay, that is a bonus as far as I am concerned. Not sure if it is just for Khara’s character (since I have only read these two books). I love the simplistic yet directness that is Khara. Her unwavering black and white world is forever shattered now that she “feels”. I personally think Unseen was the perfect title for this book. (So much is Unseen) Feelings are a tricking thing to live with if you ask me…a solution may be present and can make sense yet if you feel against it your judgment may sway. Basically Khara seemed cold (yet curious) in the first book but had this steadfast attitude, she was very confident. In Unseen there is sooo much going on that it is hard to see the enemy. All these emotions Khara has, her new self is questioning and motivated by her love and this new heart ache that has taken up in her chest since she stole away from her brothers.

Love is blindness.

It can and will change the way you see people.

Khara is a force unlike anything imaginable when it comes to protecting her family. Her actions speak of this clearly; I only hope it was worth the consequences. . This blindness was calculating and patient much like love. Also it totally bit her in the ass.

The Oz and Khara relationship is still a battle of wits an even though Oz has proven (in my eyes) where his heart and loyalty lies I can see why she is so cautious. One thing is for certain he has shown that he will be a safe harbor for her fall in. Also when he does claim her OMG it will be a thing of beauty. The chemistry and attraction that is building between these two can only lead to a crescendo of fireworks.

Sad to say there is no hanky panky in this book…sniffles. I do have a feeling it will be worth the wait! What the book lacks in actual sex it makes up for with intrigue and desire. Still a win! Nail biting anticipation for the next book. Things I have to know, like the necromancer was she in on it? WTH is up with Deimos and Hades. Will Drew get his head on straight? Damn it will Oz kiss the girl already…?!So much to come and so many days to wait.

I received this for an honest review. I can honestly say this series is more than meets the eye! Love it!
