<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/84136">Fantasy Lover</a> by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4430">Sherrilyn Kenyon</a><br />
My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/304604126">5 of 5 stars</a>
<br /><br />
five stars....<br />i loved this book from beginning to the end. just loved it.<br />grace you are the luckiest girl in the planet...a Greek man like Julian was exactly what you needed and you were exactly what he needed. my god...i loved it.<br />this book was amazing...<br />
<br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">After rereading this in 2023 I have the following to say:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Grace Alexander, is a strong, likable protagonist who's on a quest to uncover the truth about her mysterious and alluring dream lover, Julian of Macedon. Sherrilyn Kenyon has a gift for weaving together elements of ancient Greece with modern-day society to create a richly imagined world that feels both familiar and new.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">The characters in this book are incredibly well-developed, especially Grace and Julian. Their chemistry is palpable, and the way their relationship unfolds is both heartwarming and intense. The plot is full of surprises and keeps you on the edge of your seat. There's never a dull moment, and the action-packed climax will leave you breathless.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;">Overall, I highly recommend "Fantasy Lover" to anyone who loves fantasy and romance novels. It's a must-read for anyone looking for a thrilling escape into a world of magic and love. If you're a fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon, you won't be disappointed. And if you're new to her work, prepare to be swept away. This is a book you won't be able to put down.</span><br /><br />

So, ladies and gentlemen book two is a much netter read than book one. And I am so here for it. so happy.<br /><br />Iloved this book more than the first and it could easily show with smile that was plastered on my face as I was reading it. I knew there was somethign wrong with Tamlin from book one and it all came to light in this book. Hey Rhys, I knew why I liked you from book one. you sneaky man...almost made me swoon. Feyre, you are definetely what we need. Go girl!<br /><br />I want to write more but I have to start book three.<br /><br />Excellent read.

And somehow u have come to love Alessandro and catalina even more than before. <br /><br />I spent the whole day reading this and its was a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful reading. <br /><br />I was invested emotionally and physically. The story kept me hooked and I loved every bit. I love that I saw nevada and mad rogan. Aww man it was a good read. <br /><br />And honestly, I cannot wait for the next book. <br /><br />I had not realised how much I missed ilona's writing until I read this one. I hope the next ones comes sooner...

Rhysand is still my man. Elain was doll and I cannot wait to see what will happen with her and Lucien. Oh talking about Lucien, Bruh...your story is going to be interesting. I am getting overwhelmed with the sheer thought of it.<br /><br />Cassian. Hellooooo to you honey. would you like to be mine? Azriel...so many people to like in this one. Even Eris, i liked him at some point. I am not goin to talk about Tamlin but he is forgiven.<br /><br />Anyway, the story was great. I enjoyed the plot to the very end.

<br /><p class="MsoNormal">So, I finally finished this one after such a long time and I
am happy I somehow managed to get to the very end. Also, I am a bit more
excited for book two. Is it Rhysand? Possibly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I started this book earlier this year and at 40 percent, I stopped.
Then today I decided to get back to it and it was a great read. Now, this is my
first time reading any of this author’s books. I like her writing style. It’s
good. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The characters:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was rooting for Feyre and that is what I search for most
when I am reading a book these days. If I am rooting for you as a character
then it means I connected with the character. This is good news! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tamlin: I should read book two to have any judgment on you.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rhysand: there is something about him that captivated me. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The plot was significantly good. The trials were a bit
unexpected and that third trial, I was half convinced she would fail. I like it
when there is good plot. We all do!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Well, let me go and read the second book. <o:p></o:p></p><br />Nyabhuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03760501930411952065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394572564013074746.post-38680031278996712782021-11-04T12:12:00.000-07:002021-11-04T12:12:29.298-07:00Review: Wolfsong

I do not understand what happened. I liked it in the beginning and then I got lost somewhere. That was it! Nothign was the same. It is book one unfortunately which means the rest of the series is not going to be something I read.<br />Argggghhh!<br />Anyway, till next time!

<br /><br />
So I finally got back into reading JR Ward and I do not know what happeneed. I was enjoying this book in the begining and loving it but then suddenly "poof" I was in a bubble. And unfortunately the bubble made it impossible for me to continue giving the book love.<br /><br />Any how, the least I can say is "atleast I finished it" HEHE!!<br />

Tiktok made me read this one and yes it is pure smut.<br /><br />*awkward laughter*<br /><br />You see I LOVE ME SOME SMUT but this was not it. It was not the aliens that made me look the other way but maybe the plot in general and the writing. I am not really sure. This book has been sitting in currently reading pile for almost eight months. The way the sun is setting it look like I am not going to finish this one! <br /><br />Bye Bye Aliens.<br /><br />GIve me a better plot and some well written angst.

And my heart and the butterflies living in my stomach said AMEN. This book was exactly what I was waiting for and exactly to my heart’s content. <br /><br />Every time I take a deep breath, I realize that I am still hooked by the characters in the book. I am very hooked and happily so. It is amazing how a good story can live in your head and dismantle your current reality.<br /><br /> I loved every bit of the story. How they met (that pool game and the drinks my mans West “Buck” knew exactly what he was doing and my girl had no chance.), how the story progressed, and everything. West aka Buck thank you for being a cool ass character. There was that one time that I really got annoyed but I forgive you. Clara, oh sweetheart you were perfect.<br /><br />To the author, thank you for taking me back to the old you. I was so messed up emotionally with this one and it is all I aim to be when I read a book. Cheers.<br /><br />I want to write something longer but this is where I end it. <br />Five freaking amazing stars!

Dnf<br /><br />Dear future me,<br /><br />I know you are wondering why you did not finish this book and hoping maybe when you read it for a second time, shit will make sense. Let me tell you something DO NOT BOTHER. Having doubts? <br /><br />Let me give you some of the reason this book was not for you. <br /><br />You did not connect with the writing at all. You did not connect with any of the characters as much as you tried and you certainly did not connect with the story.<br /><br />You did not understand the premise of the story and most important it was very difficult to keep up with the realm. You definitely had questions. Lots and lots of questions which unfortunately remained unanswered because you could not read the whole story. It bored the shit out of you.<br /><br />It is unlikely that you will reread this book. <br /><br />So, as I said earlier do not bother giving it a second go.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Past me on 25th March 2020.<br />

The two stars are strictly for VIG. <br /><br />But below are some of the issues I had with this book :-<br /><br />1. Too much information at once <br />You know my major problem with this book is that I was introduced to so many things at once that it was difficult to keep up. Yes, it’s the start of a series and as an author, I’m pretty sure her intention was to let us understand her world. <br />It was TMI that we did not need.<br />The best solution would be to introduce us gradually to it. You know like how Kresley Cole does in her IAD series. <br />Half of the time I did not remember who the hell was who and it was bad.<br /><br />2. Too many characters <br />This goes hand in hand with the first issue. <br />There were too many characters. And what sucked, even more, it was difficult to realize who the main characters were. They did not get as much on-screen time. This being a series, some of the non-essential characters could have been introduced later on. in upcoming books. <br /><br />3. MAIN CHARACTERS' CHEMISTRY<br />As I read a story, I need to feel connected to the main characters. It is essentially the fuel that powers up my reading mojo. I need to like the characters. I liked VIg to some extent but I just could not bring myself to like Kera. Too tightly wound up.<br />And I felt like they were not in love LOVE. <br />No angst. No powerful emotions flowing. NO caveman type of feelings. MH… <br /><br />4. Maybe it's just me!!! I promise to try it another time. I could be the one tightly wound up at the moment. especially with the coronavirus aka COVID19 pandemic ruing a lot of things. <br /><br />

<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/71811">Moon Called</a> by <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/40563">Patricia Briggs</a><br />
My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2290269268">4 of 5 stars</a>
<br />
<br />
I read all nine books in this series back to back. (The nine available because I know for sure that the series is ongoing and dear book ten I am anxiously waiting for you.) the back to back thing is also the reason I had to write a general review of the series rather than go book by book. I just could not put this series down.<br />
<br />
Somewhere in the middle of reading book one; I had to chastise myself for not getting to this book sooner. It is an awesome book and I am very happy with my boredom as it allowed to me to get my hands on such Excellency.<br />
Patricia Briggs, you are a superstar.<br />
<br />
Does this just happen to me? I take a book, read the synopsis and think myself this book is not my taste. Then when someone forces me to read it or my boredom forces me to read it I start thinking how stupid I was not for reading it in the first place.<br />
<br />
The lesson here ladies and gentlemen is that do not judge a book by its synopsis. Let’s judge it after the first few chapters are read.<br />
<br />
Anyway, back to the review… I loved the series. So far it is going great. It has kept me hooked and I have no doubt that if I was hooked then you will be too. Give it a chance.<br />
<br />
The characters. I loved every one of them…Mercy you are doll. Adam you are the man..Samuel you give me shivers. The rest of you, I love you all.<br />
<br />
Fae. Werewolves’ and vampires plus other magical creature all roll themselves into this series with each of them finding a way to my heart.<br />
<br />
In short, This was a good read.</div>

<br />
Well I just got the second book in this series and thought to myself that I needed to write a review of the first one before my mind messes things up.<br />
<br />
Anyway, this review ought to be short because I don’t want to sit here remembering all the reason this book was a mess yet still a good read.<br />
<br />
Kristen writes good books and the alpha men always pull me in and they story itself…well the story I just it. Fantastic!<br />
<br />
But this book felt more like a sex exploration book than just a story. So it won’t fall into my best reads.<br />
<br />
Anyway, hope book two is more of a story than just sex.<br />
<br /></div>

<br />
Again, I think I just have fallen more in love with this author than I could think possible. Holy God of Israel now this is the book that I have always wanted to read.<br />
<br />
It had everything I wanted it to have...<br />
<br />
A second chance romance that drove me so wild it had me begging to not end and at times for it to end so I would just know how it all finishes, you know???<br />
<br />
Oh my god. <br />
<br />
Have I mentioned R.J.Lewis is going straight to my all time favourite authors list? None of the book I have read so far written by this author have taken a nosedive nope...they are all stars shinning fucking brightly in heaven if I might say..<br />
<br />
Fucking shinning brightly stars...<br />
<br />
Are you kidding me?<br />
<br />
Can you write a bad book? really?<br />
<br />
This book though...the feels.<br />
<br />
The fucking feels!! <br />
<br />
I need a Jaxon in my life for sure. The way this man loves aisee... I want some of that...okay I just want all of that. I need all of that. that man loves to the ends of the fucking rainbow and to the ends of the moon. <br />
<br />
Sara you extremely lucky girl. <br />
<br />
I just worship this book. Now on to book two! cause I need to figure out what happen next. Such a sweet story.</div>
