Tiffany Reisz - The Auction (The Original Sinners - Standalone Story)

The Auction by Tiffany Reisz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm just so happy to be back with the Original Sinners.... Kingsley, Eleanor, Soren, and the infamous "club". Back to those original feelings we had in the beginning of this series.

If you have read the short story The Seven Day Loan, then you will know who Daniel is. It's not absolutely necessary to have read it, because we are given enough backstory to refresh everyone's memory. And if you haven't read any of the Original Sinners series, well your missing out and I can't help you. Start at the beginning, but if you are not a "kink" reader, then this may not be for you.

Daniel has returned from his 18 month trek while trying to get over his 2nd love, or who he thought was his 2nd love. Just to find his true 2nd love. Though nothing is easy in the world of Kingsley. You have to go thru alot of missteps to get where you truly belong.

Anya is trying her very best to make a better life for her siblings. How she wound up in Kingsley's realm is a mystery. But the old saying, right place - right time, is never truer than when she opens the door to a very dirty and disheveled Daniel. Love at first sight? Hmmmm, let the games begin!!

Darynda Jones - Beguiled (Betwixt & Between #3)

Beguiled by Darynda Jones
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So many questions....
So many wonderful cliff hanger questions ...

Some mysteries are solved, new mysteries leave us hanging, needing the next book now.
These characters reminded me of the "vibe" that the Charley Davidson series had between the characters. But now they are all unique to me and I love them all. This is a series to read for all Darynda Jones fans.

Beth Flynn - Tarnished Soul (Nine Minutes Spin-Off #4

Tarnished Soul by Beth Flynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There are just those series that stick with you years after reading them.

Nine Minutes is one of them, including the spin-off's.

Brooks & Lucy are the perfect analogy of opposites attract. They couldn't be more different. But in their own way they are the dark/mc version of Beauty and the Beast. She quiets his demons, helps him make sense of the world and gives him something precious to protect. Something that is just his. She finds the protector in him to be something that makes her feel beautiful and wanted for once in her life. They have been waiting for each other for a long time.

Not saying their life is a fairytale come true with no violence and drama, but they seem to balance each other in a way that makes it's all seem lighter in the world of dark he roams in. And they make me want to re-read the series again. I miss all of the characters .....

Shantel Tessier - Make You Beg

Make You Beg by Shantel Tessier
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm speechless.

This went so far beyond my expectations. The short story was just a tease as to what the full story really is. Secrets, lies, sex, violence, and in the end ... love.

I actually miss Henley and Law. There was so much to this story. And everything that came to light in the end was twisted and mind blowing. Don't go into this thinking you can handle the dark environment. If this is not your usual genre, this is not the one to jump off into.

I hope we get the remaining Reapers stories.

Kimberly Loth - Circus of the Dead complete series.

Circus of the Dead: The Complete Series by Kimberly Loth
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Completely spellbound by this series.

This series is not what you think it is. Yes, it's paranormal, with voodoo, spells, witches, zombies, ghosts, and an island full of trapped people. That should be super creepy scary, but it's not. It's really quite funny, and sweet at times (in between all the magical wars).

I kind of equate this series to a paranormal Nancy Drew mystery. Lot's of things happen in rapid fire sequence. And just when you think it's all done, no, another piece of this enormous puzzle shows itself. The cast of characters are unique with their own backstories, and they all fit into the grand scheme of the island. And let's not forget we have a villian to this story (not going to give that surprise away) who tries to stop our Heroine from everything she tries to do.

So don't go into this series expecting a horror/scary/spooky story. It's not truly that, it's a story of good versus evil with a 16 year old Heroine who goes up against alot of paranormal things to accomplish her goals (not revealing that secret either)

So give this a try, go in with a blank mind and just enjoy the ride. I don't think you'll be disappointed. This series is on Kindle Unlimited at time of review.

Colleen Hoover - Layla

Layla by Colleen Hoover
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bizarre Love Triangle

I really love the premise, it was unique. And in it's own paranormal way, a true love story. Leeds and Layla are characters that connect in that unusual way that you just know it will be a forever love story. True soul mates. But that's all I'm going to give away.

I will say that the story moved a little to slow for me, I did have to fight my urge to walk away. But that's me. I need a more fast paced storyline. Do I think it was all worth it in the end, sorta. I think the ending could have had a little more spark than say the "riding off into the sunset" feel I had. But I don't regret reading the book, it was that unique of a story.
