The story was good except that there were some gaps that bothered me just a little bit. And I wanted more except that it was the end of the story already. Overall this was entertaining and enjoyable with a strong warlord and a smart and feisty h in a world full of danger with beasts and the unknown with traitors in their midst with a plot to wrest power from the warlord.

This is the best audiobook so far. It's a production! Just like listening to a drama on the radio (the way they did it ages ago, so old fashioned now) with several different voices, some sound effects, some background music. Listening to it I think gives another layer of upping the feels because of the brilliant narration and all that. If I would recommend an audiobook for a newbie it would be this one. What a breathtaking ride this book gave me.

398.2 You convinced me. What's the best way to get an audiobook? 8y

I love KA. I love her writing style, characters, the way she makes them talk and move, how she builds up their connection. I'm a fan because her books had never let me down. I'm not sure how I feel with this one. I love her alpha heroes and this alpha-sub I'm just not used to it. But I didn't dislike this either.

An unforgettable love story. I knew there was a twist, but didn't see that ending coz of all the feelings, so heartwarming even with the tragedy. How lucky to be loved like that! I'm so glad I got to experience this book.

She's on the run coz some people think she knew too much and they want her dead. Just when she started to hope she can stop hiding everything got worse. Her path intersected with 2 brothers and now she's not the only one being hunted. There is romance growing which seems hard to believe in their situation. It was riveting watching them dodge their killers, their planning to turn the tables on the conspiracy against them.

This is truly a wonderful series. It's about man coexisting with nature and all the other living things we share this earth with. How man allocates and control more than they're entitled to that they destroy the homes of other creatures and their food. How nature fights back in retaliation by bringing out weather changes, storms, floods, extreme heat, earthquakes. If only man would learn not to complicate things and be content with a simpler life.

One True Loves | Taylor Jenkins Reid

I think finding your one true love is a blessing. When you lose it and finds it a second time, it's like winning the Lotto twice. But the pain and heartache that she had to go through, it made me pause and think do I really want to go through that? It disappointed me that the love of her life didn't last forever. The circumstances might not have given her a choice. I was glad when she found love again and he found love again too. Mixed feelings.

The only reason I'm not so enthusiastic about this book is because I was left feeling bleak. Maybe because of too many trials, betrayal, and hardships for the MCs and the demons seemed to be stronger than them. Despite having a common and greatest enemy (demons), man insists on fighting each other. But this is only the first book in the series, so maybe it will get better?

This is nice if you're in the mood for a man who lives a dangerous life, a woman who had just lost her husband. She's still grieving and doesn't know how to move on. He keeps a lot of secrets. Her husband kept a big secret from her. Then she moved into that world where loyalty is the most important and she has to choose whose side she is on...choose to live or die.

Love this! Not as dramatic as the first book, this is fun and lighthearted. Then there's the swoon moment at the end (again), the brothers really know how to bring out the romance. The perfect book for times when I want something fun and to be giddy with falling in love.

Coast (Kick Push 2) | Jay McLean

A story about broken people, how the abuse from the past define their present, a story about getting up and fixing what is broken, surviving and finally living the life that they have chosen. "Choose to be happy. Fire truck the rest." My heart is hurting. I feel the story had given me too much raw hurt that it was hard to recover, so even after finishing the books I still feel ? even with the happy ending.

I was Team Tucker all the way! I wasn't impressed with the h still, but at the end she was a hero. This is young love and all its intricacies...innocent, naive, insecure, prideful, but capable to last when it's true.

She's supposed to be special (as she's the MC), but she's so slow (to pick up) a lot of the time. She wants to know everything, but then she's always in denial, only reacts when it's too late. And self-centered. It was only at the end that things began to pick up again which perked me up, so I'm going to see this to the end.

Making Faces | Amy Harmon

This is beautiful and an ugly cry book for me. So emotionally disturbing and uplifting at the same time. I don't think I can find the right words about how I feel. I felt constantly choked up, my heart squeezing, my throat clogged up. The words were just so beautiful together that it pulled me in, making me feel what they were feeling, making me hurt with them, making me laugh when they were happy, making me sad when they were hurting.

She begins her reign as queen, but she has a lot of problems. A murder to solve, a council who wants to control her, a plot to dethrone her, and a war looming. She can only find comfort and safety with the king of the bears, but any kind of relationship with him is forbidden. A lot has happened and I can't wait for the next book! #fantasy

“How did two healthy people produce as many tears as they did? By ducking all the important stuff,”

Yep I think this sums up the root of their problem. This was a fun read..I was giggling and laughing all the way and some moments that squeezed my heart. The h is the one who's broken and he made her whole again. A feel good book for me.

Yes I was entertained. I loved book 1, intrigued about the dynamics between the angel and the teenaged girl. Their world is bordering on the end of days, a forced apocalypse by power hungry angels. Angels full of their own superiority and politics versus humans doing whatever they can to survive. The story seemed promising at first, but it didn't deliver what I was expecting. Still it was entertaining enough for me.

Both of them guarding their hearts so thoroughly, afraid to open themselves again to relationship and love. He was rude the first time they met and she hated him. And then the slow burn begins. I had tears in my eyes and smiling at the end.

Book 2 is okay ?but book 3, Siren's Song, is not. It seems "forced" somehow and it didn't sustain my level of interest.

Practically strangers with an attraction. Their love story was really a modern fairy tale. Kept me entertained. Books like this is the reason why I keep escaping to the book world.

My first from this author and I feel overwhelming joy to find a treasure of words in this book. Just ordinary words, but she has this way of stringing them forming sentences making them into an awesome 👏 story. This book, the characters consumed me, all my thoughts. It was such a wonderful ride, surprised me some, took me to places I had never thought to go when starting this book. Made me think about coincidences and destiny.

A Sorceress of His Own | Dianne Duvall

I miss being in the world of the Immortal Guardians. The gifted ones are featured in this book; only Seth and Roland appeared for just a moment and it highlights the connection between the gifted ones and Immortal Guardians. A beautiful love story between a fierce and feared warrior and an advisor and gifted healer, a nobleman and a commoner. Can love find them, a warrior feared by all and a maiden who has to hide her true self to survive?

Gave me all the feels. Made my ❤️ sing with the joy of hope, new life, young love. Made my ❤️ bleed with the anguish of loss and separation. Made my ❤️ thump with the agony of insecurities, loneliness, anger, rage, hate, violence. Made my ❤️ full with the beauty of forgiveness, acceptance, sacrifice, pack/family, mate/love.

“What was worse than losing you was when you started to hurt me. Your words and actions made me hate coming to school. They made me uncomfortable in my own home.”

I hated him and what he had done to her. Despite that their coming together was sweet. I believed them when they revealed what was in their hearts. Not 5 stars for me but I read this in 1 sitting.

Bittersweet, that's how I feel. After reading the book, I'm left with still so many questions. I'm still wondering what's going to happen next. Still, while reading this I was mostly on the edge of my seat. I didn't want to finish this book right away. I wanted to prolong it. I wanted to savor it. This is what usually happens when I'm in the Fever world. So knowing this might be the end...yeah, bittersweet.

Everything I love in books are here..magic, shifters, fae, strong alpha female & a queen, stronger alpha male & a king. They both rule their own kind, but they have never mixed. Then a seemingly dark force, unknown enemy simultaneously attacks them. Either they have to join forces for a stronger chance to defeat them or stay with tradition. Anything growing between them is forbidden, I'm not sure how this will turn out. I'm so excited! #fantasy

Too much details, too much information, too many loose ends not tied up prettily or neatly enough...although maybe because it's just the start of a series? The way the story unfolds, unfortunately I didn't "connect" with the characters or their issues. Not quite 5 ✨ for me. #shifter

The Kissing Game goes like this Shortcake. Press, retreat, tilt, breathe, repeat. Use your hands to angle just right. Loosen up until it‘s a slow, wet slide. Hear the drum of blood in your own ears? Survive on tiny puffs of air. Do not stop. Don‘t even think about it. Shudder a sigh, pull back, let your opponent catch you with lips or teeth and ease you back into something even deeper...The aim of the game is to do this for the rest of your life

Breathtaking actions, nail biting scenes, violent fights "to the death," and then the healing, resting, sweet moments between Griffin and Cat.

Griffin wants to rule all three places and make them one. Cat now finally understood what the prophecy was all about and her role. Not to destroy, but to unite.

At the end, they became King and Queen of two...and then there was one. I can't wait for the next book. #fantasy

Love how this author writes. Another love story that's such a slow burn, but oh so good...and the feels and the laughs and some tears. So funny listening to her thoughts and her running commentary to herself. I was glued to the pages wanting to know what's going to happen next. Slow but steady he wormed himself to my heart with his thoughtfulness, his caring, his faithfulness, his awesomeness. At the end, I really can't help but love him.

Love an alpha female werewolf, totally an equal match for one of the elite SWAT. Her heroic efforts are recognized, but she wants to feel accepted, important, and to find her place in her world. He offers all of that and more. Another action-packed, police work book 2 of the SWAT series. #shifter

Now I am #currentlyreading #WaitForIt and it's turning out to be again a slow burn. I've already 😂 and giggled and cried.

I had just started to join Litsy and as it happens I am #currentlyreading #TrialByBlood. The first 2 trials kept me interested, so I am excited to find out what happens next. The third trial is with the vampire, the second with the fay, and the first with the werewolf. Going into the third trial, I'm still not sure who's going to be her mate, the leader (so must be the good guy), and the bad guy (if any?)
