Hunting Fiends for the Ill-Equipped ( The Guild Codex: Demonized 3) by Annette Marie

Hello to all!

                   Starting week 3 of confinement, not fun really but lot of time to read make it so much better today i'm sharing with you my opinin on the new Annette Marie book that release this week ... you can't imagine how excited i am for all these releases now.
However i must point out that starting now both the Guild Codex series Spellbound AND demonized entertwine a lot so if you you want to enjoy it to the fullest it's better if you get up to date in the spellbound series first......both series are wonderful so you would only be gaining from reading both.

Now my thoughts on  Dominized book 3:

Happy Reading!!!

Description from goodreads :

  I thought I understood power.

My parents taught me that magic attracts equal danger, and everything I've seen since becoming a demon contractor confirms it. I've witnessed how power twists and corrupts--and I've tasted power no human should wield.

I thought I knew greed.

Ambition and avarice drove my family into hiding. My parents died for someone else's greed. I've never hunted anything in my life, but now I'm hunting their killer--with my demon's help.

I thought I'd seen evil.

But with each step closer to my parents' murderer, I'm uncovering a different sort of evil, piece by hidden piece. I've stumbled into an insidious web that silently, secretly ensnares everything it touches. My demon and I came as the hunters...

...but I think we might be the prey.

--
Author's Note: The Guild Codex includes two series, Demonized and Spellbound, which can be read and enjoyed all on their own; however, this book contains spoilers for Demon Magic and a Martini (Spellbound #4). If you were thinking about giving Spellbound a try, I recommend reading it first.

My opinion:

          FABULOUS!!!! This book is simply fantastic! but  i must confirm that to get the full experience you do need to have read the guild codex spellbound series as starting now the two series really intertwine together sometimes we get the same scene but in each series from a different point of view or sometimes we get explanation from one series in the other so  i can't recommend you enough to read both it's really worth it!

Now about this book it has everything !!! Lo of action, humour and part to make you swoon  like crazy!  We are leaning more about  Robin 's ancestor and also about the demon world and Zylas clan . A great bonus .....we get a large dose of Ezra to satisfy us until the next release.

The rhythm is fast  and it grip you since the beginning so you will be reading this easily in one sitting  (and if in confinement then barking at those trying to interrupt you)  it's a total page turner!!!

We do get answer but then also some more questions and a little cliffhanger (arg) so i definitively can't wait for the next book .  A must read when you need escape from reality! to recommend without the lightest hesitation

Score:  4,5/5 ( only because of the cliffanger)

Description from goodreads :

 Truth can be ugly and part-time waitress, casual PI investigator, and half-fae shifter, Raven Crawford, can’t deny she owes the Lord of War a favour. If she defaults on her debt, she relinquishes all her power to a man who doesn’t know the meaning of mercy. And she thought her bank loans were bad.

With her new role in the Underworld contending with her debt to a dictator, a budding romance with the Lord of Shadows, and her need to pay the bills, Raven is in serious need of balance. But the moment the dark fae walked into her diner months ago, she’s been off-balance.

It’s time for Raven to pull up her big girl socks and prove to everyone she’s no longer the burnt-out waitress with a nifty parlour trick.

She’s the Queen of Corvids

My opinion:

          Great book! Really all went up in this instalment more action, more fights, more fun , more violence ( then dark fae are violent) and more steam! It's just wonderfully written to have us hooked right at the beginning.

Raven is trying to adjust to her new position of Queen of Corvids while staying alive and pay her debt to Bane...but she still has a lot to learn despite having Cole as an advisor as well as a lover....I loved to see her think about her relationship with Cole because it's true it went fast but she does reflect on it and dig deeper. Also Rouke show a new side of himself which is wonderful and funny

It's a non stop action with enemies in Mortal realm and others among the fae but not only. we also discover a new side  " Roller" thankfully more neutral because Raven has really a lot on her plate and she doesn't realise all her abilities yet.

This is a funny,  full of action, story but it make sense when read in order more as we can see the evolution of the characters  i was eager to learn more about the universe and this book offered us that  with an excellent intrigue

Raven is courageous, loyal and she has a good heart.  The only thing that bothered me a little is that i had the feeling one group got it too easy....i understand the why with Raven personality but still i wasn't happy about that  otherwise it's simply perfect.

to recommend

Score:  4,5/5

 Welcome to Normal, Kentucky~ where nothing is normal.

Who served up the murder at Normal Diner?

A beloved resident of Normal, Kentucky is found dead on the floor of the Normal Diner, leaving the entire town on high alert. Faster than the short order cook can say order up... the laundry ladies are in the scene.

News spreads fast about the murder and Detective Hank Sharp is hungry for answers.

Mae West along with the Laundry Club ladies come up with a list of suspects and the evidence is piling up faster than a juicy double cheeseburger.

Who murdered the beloved citizen?

Was it a hit to score some extra lunch money?

My opinion:

          While the culprit was evident for me since the beginning is till got immersed into the story and i was definitively more interested by Mae's past. We learned a bit about her past in precedent book but this time we get a real sight of part of it and it only brings more question which mean i can't wait to read next book..

This is really a great cozy mystery with a good read to keep you entertained until the last page and just leave you wanting for more. The characters are funny,  the feeling is good , the romance is cute really it 's a good instalment.

In fact this one could even be read as stand alone without trouble.

If you need a good cozy mystery during these difficult time, this is one you could binge on without hesitation or regret.

Phoenix ( Linear Tactical 8) by Janie Crouch [early review]

Hello to all,

Since the rain isn't stopping , i enjoy reading even more and today i've decided to share with you an early review so you can have the opportunity to preorder the book to get it on release day to enjoy!.
I loved the Linear tactical series since book 1 but this one ( number 8) may be the most emotionnal so....

Happy reading!!

Publisher: Calamittie Jane Publishing

Publication: 2020

Genre: romantic suspense,military romance

Violence: mild
Language: normal

Public: 18+

Description from goodreads :

 Adrenaline junky.
Adventure traveler.
Extreme sport sensation.

They’re all labels Riley Harrison—known to the world as Phoenix—wears as easily as the tattoos covering his body.

But it’s his role as undercover operative for Linear Tactical’s kidnap and ransom unit that makes his blood sing. Riley uses his celebrity status to help infiltrate locations and situations nobody else can get into.

In. Out. The fight is usually over before the bad guys know it’s begun or that Riley was involved.

But his skills and celebrity status won’t help when he discovers the woman he loves is keeping unbearable secrets and in a danger he never could’ve imagined.

She wants Riley to stay far away from her.

That’s not going to happen.

But he’ll have to be willing to lose everything to save her. To save them.

Phoenix will learn you have to burn before you can rise.

My opinion:

          Really a great instalment, we get a lot of action, the romance but also we focus on characters feelings, their fears, their hopes  so we get deeper into their psyche and for both Riley it was something more than interesting. then we also get to see the other linear tactical members so it's simply the perfect mix.

The tension is high, the rhythm is fast as the WAR competition isn't to be taken lightly but  the missions on the side are more dangerous and with a tight timing. As a result we get immersed into the story immediately and  we can't stop before the last page even if in my case i guessed the culprit too early for my taste i still wanted to see how both Riley would react.

Really that's an excellent romance suspense with a view on how genetic illness can affect people ( or not) , so quite a few emotional moments,  and with a real feeling romance that will leave you swooning.

To recommend! ( Would work as stand alone too but the series is too good to miss it ^^)

Score:  4,5/5

Wish by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

Hello to all,

Since i got a big cold, i was stuck inside and in those times tehre is no better remedy than a good book! I was lucky that the author released her book early in this case so you can already get it.
Without more delay here is my opinion on the new Mimi Jean Pamfiloff book!

Happy reading!

Description from goodreads :

  From New York Times bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes a sexy standalone Billionaire Romance.

My ex was a con artist who left my life in shambles. But am I going to let that break me? No.

I’ve got a plan. It’s a long shot, but with some hard work, I’ll pull my life back together.

Only, just as I’m in the thick of it, I find an unusual bottle with a note inside: “You get one wish. Make it count.”

Har har. Someone’s idea of a joke?

Apparently not.

And nothing could prepare me for the screamin’ hot man with piercing blue eyes who shows up at my door. He says the note is his and he wants to give me true happiness. Money is no object. A wish granted from a billionaire.

Uh, is he for real? And why me?

I should slam the door in his sex-god face, because this guy has trouble written all over him. But the more time I spend with the demanding, arrogant man, the deeper I get into a twisted history that pulls at my heart.

Suddenly I do have a wish... Him.

My opinion:

          This is really a good and funny romance with a touch of dark events, i loved it and had to read it in one sitting.

For her first standalone this author does it's wonderful! The story is great , a message of hope with well buit characters.

Ginnie is  a strong woman, she was deeply hurt but she is moving on, independent she put others before herself and she is an artist. When offered a wish she simply can't believe its'( true and even if it is she doesn't have one, in her eyes you must work to deserve something.

Mr Wish... he is mysterious, generous but buried behind that there is something traumatic too. He is partly broken even if he refuses to admit it

together they make a great pairs with their difficulties, their hopes and their feelings growing.

Really i loved this story and if you want an excellent contemporary romance this one you can grab and simply wish for the best.

Score:  5/5
