Blaize and the Maven by Ellen Bard

-

I started this book with high hopes that I would love it. I have to say I did not totally love it but it was a good book anyway. There were times when it was slow and others that it almost went too fast. I feel the author could have expanded some of the scenes especially the action type scenes. Just when you were getting to a good part, the author would rush through it and be on to more building of the characters or scene.


With that being said it was still a good book I would have read whether I was asked to or not. I am not sure if I would reread it but it was still worth it to read it the first time. And I believe I will try reading the second one in the series. It did still leave me wanting to know what is going to happen next. I just wish it was a bit more balanced of a book. A little less world building and a little more action and romance.

Gravity (Mageri Series Book 4) by Dannika Dark

I found Dannika Dark by doing searches through Amazon when I got my Kindle years ago. It was a bit different of a story than I usually read but figured I would try it. I have to say I am glad I did. I have read all books in this series and I have to say Gravity has been the best so far! It is gripping, emotional, and at times you want to jump up and down in your chair pumping your fist and screaming WHOOO HOOO!! At others you want to grab those tissues and ball your eyes out! There was not a moment in this book where I skipped through due to non ending detail or non gripping reading. She keeps you glued into the book at every page turn and you just don't want to put it down. This book answers a some questions from the previous 3 books in the series so be sure to read all the previous books first! Way to go Dannika and I am anxiously waiting the next book in the series!! https://www.dannikadark.net/

Damon (The Protectors Series) Book #1 by Teresa Gabelman

This book started out strong and continued on strong. It has a lot of action while not being overpowering on the action. I liked that the main female character was strong and not a wimp or whiny. Surprisingly, while the male lead character Damon was strong and down right sexy, I was actually rooting for Nichole to go with a secondary character Jared. The romance of the book was actually nice and not overpowering and did not leave you feeling like it was fake. I felt that the author has a good writing style. She was descriptive by not overly so. This was yet another book that I did not have to skip through to avoid boredom and did not have to go back to remind myself what someone looked like or who they were. The only real complaint I had was that the end of the book seemed a little rushed. I think the author could have extended the ending a bit and it would have flowed better. But other than that a GREAT book I would definitely recommend to read! I look forward to reading the next book

Chemical Reaction by Christina Thompson

Chemical Reaction is a book about a man and woman who work together to try to bring down a deadly drug and the people who want to distribute it. This book is not normally in a genre I would read but since it is based in Michigan I wanted to read it. I have to say I am glad I did. This book was definitely a good book. I loved the interaction with all the characters. And in all actuality, I preferred the interaction between the lead female character Madeline and the FBI team of her Fiance Joe. The banter between all of them and the humor they had was very fun to read. I also loved that this book was not a sex fest. I tend to read very sexual books even sometimes erotica and every now and then its nice to read something that is more centered on the action and the story than the characters getting it on. This book does just that. There is definitely lots of action in this book. There is also some mystery which was refreshing. I would have to say the only thing I was not real big on with th
