Review: Dream of Me by A. Star

Review: Dream of Me by A. Star

On Tuesday, I reviewed the first book in The Djinn Order, Wish for Me, and I really enjoyed it. If you haven’t read that book yet, bear in mind that this review will contain some light spoilers! I’m going to be honest here and say that I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the first. I was still able to read it easily and quickly, and I did enjoy it, but it wasn’t the same level of enjoyment. Some of the things I loved about Wish for Me were just taken a bit far for me in this book. For example, […]

Snap Review: Wish for Me by A. Star

Snap Review: Wish for Me by A. Star

Wish for Me was hilarious, exciting and oh so sexy. What more could you ask for from an NA fantasy romance? Glory and Irving were stellar characters, casting the other characters in shadow, which was a bit of a shame. Their chemistry was sizzling, with tantalising banter (‘LOL’ is appropriate here) and a rather seductive power struggle in and out of the bedroom. Glory was so kickass, and I loved that she didn’t fall into the same traps as other heroines. For example, when Irving grabbed her arm to stop her from walking away (why is there always grabbing???), she CALLED HIM ON IT. I […]

Review: Anatomy of a Player by Cindi Madsen

Review: Anatomy of a Player by Cindi Madsen

I loved this book. Anatomy of a Player had a sexy college hockey player, a career-oriented aspiring journalist, plenty of humour and delicious sexual tension. I could fall into both Whitney and Hudson’s heads and believe what they believed – mostly that they were perfect for each other, even when they didn’t see it. While the plot was overall predictable, how Madsen filled it out was fun, emotional and filled with enough surprises and treats to more than satisfy me. Work was torture because all I wanted to do was keep reading! Best and worst The best thing about this book: THE CHEMISTRY The […]

Review: The Lightning Prophecy by Emily Cyr

Review: The Lightning Prophecy by Emily Cyr

The Lightning Prophecy is an enjoyable, if a bit predictable, new adult paranormal romance, told from the perspectives of Delaney (a lightning witch) and Reid (a private investigator with a predatorial side). The story was exciting and different, and the chemistry was hot, hot, hot! However, the book was held back a bit by the lack of editing and some unbelievable emotional reactions. This is a good start to a trilogy that I will be following up on! Best and worst The best thing about this book: The overall plot was fresh and exciting. The worst thing about this book: There was […]

Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

Quick review A Court of Thorns and Roses is not just a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. It is an incredible, rich story about the lengths a person will go to for love. Sarah J. Maas brings to life interesting and detailed characters in a vivid world filled with humans and faeries, doomed unless Feyre, the main character, can break the curse placed on the ‘beast’, Tamlin. The book is filled with unexpected twists and characters you can’t help but grow attached to (or hate). It gave me one of the worst hangovers I’ve ever experienced, and I can absolutely say […]

Review: Amber Smoke by Kristin Cast

Review: Amber Smoke by Kristin Cast

Quick review Amber Smoke is a great start to a guilty pleasure New Adult series. It combines Greek mythology with crime, swapping focus between Alek (Mr. Hotstuff Immortal Greek Warrior), Eva and a pair of cops trying to solve the mystery of a dead girl. In true NA form, there is a hint of steaminess, though not too much or too explicit. The focus is more on everyone running to or away from each other. It is a relatively quick read and sets the series up for more monsters to come. Read this if you: a) enjoy crime shows like […]
