Book Review: Assembly

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐


Too long

Ugh! I want to LOVE this book, but it’s really just okay. It’s like Stephanie Meyer meets CN Crawford. Unfortunately, unlike them, Erica Woods spends too much time repeating the same internal dialogue repeatedly.

In this book, Hope and the pack go to the Assembly and compete in games. We still don’t find out what Hope is, but we glimpse a few clues. We find out more about Ash and Lucien 😉 and we find out more of Hope’s story.

The sex scenes are easily ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! So, if you’re reading this for that, then YES! Go for it! If multiple males for one female are also your thing, then YES AGAIN! Haha, if that’s not your thing, then this definitely isn’t for you.

Hmmm…I’m not sure if I recommend starting this series, but now that I’ve started, I need to finish and find out Hope’s secrets. You might get sucked in if you start it too. Happy reading y’all!

Book Review: Hunted

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐


So hot!!

Oh wow! I have a thing for the paranormal and shifter claiming. There’s something so hot about it! Mates 😍

Quick Re-cap:

Hope was tortured the majority of her life and escapes her tormentors. While running away, she runs into a pack of shifters, but knows nothing about who or what they are. She doesn’t even know much about herself other than she has a monster inside her. She starts to develops feelings for the shifters and a mated romance is born.

My Two Cents:

I really enjoyed most of this book! The intimate scenes (no sex quite yet, but there will be) were really HOT! Like grab your vibrator (or other nearest relief) hot!

I struggled with so much inner dialogue. There was too much. I can only listen to so much self doubt before I start skipping major portions!

Besides the self doubt, you have to be okay with what happened to Hope to read this book. She was surrendered by her mother to the Hunters when she was 6 years old. They started torturing her when she was an early teenager. This wasn’t just verbal abuse. It was the kind of torturing that involves stripping skin and pulling out organs while she’s awake. If you’re a parent, or deeply sensitive person, then this isn’t the right series for you.

I’m going to continue reading this series, because now I feel like I have to know how it ends. I want to know what Hope is, because she obviously isn’t Human. This might be worth the read if you can handle the inner monologues and handle the abusive situation Hope was in. Happy reading y’all!

Book Review: Midlife Ghost Hunter

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Midlife Ghost Hunter by Shannon Mayer
Hot, steamy, and not finished yet

I have lost so much sleep to reading this series! It’s hot, sexy (without actual sex), and I can’t put it down!

Breena is arrested for Alan’s murder. She must escape prosecution and head to New Orleans to save her Gran. She must decide who are true friends and who aren’t. If she decides wrong, she might be facing her death. If she decides right, maybe she will create her own family and find love.

I’m constantly amazed at how hot and bothered this book can make someone without there being actual sex. Congrats to the author for that! In fact, congrats to the author for allowing me to feel every emotion Breena feels. I cried when she cried, worried when she worried, and laughed when she laughed.

There isn’t a dull moment here. I couldn’t put it down. I stayed up late, woke up early, and read every second I could. I can’t wait to read the final book in the series! I really hope Breena and Crash wind up together.

This book has so many funny moments! My husband often asked me what I was laughing at. I love that Breena is a little older than me and I can totally relate to her accidentally almost peeing every other minute. When I feel a sneeze coming I run for the toilet, hoping I make it before I actually sneeze. It’s a real thing folks.

This is a must read story for anyone who enjoys fantasy romcoms. I hope you give it a try! Happy reading y’all!!

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Midlife Demon Hunter by Shannon Mayer
The excitement keeps coming!

Set aside some serious binge reading time for this series. It sucks you in and won’t let you go!

A very quick overview:

Bree accepts a job with a goblin. Bree meets with the council and befriends an old man who they keep around, but don’t think much of. Bree and Crash get closer. The King of the goblins steals her friends and Bree needs to get them back.

There is action to the very last word. I really couldn’t put this one down. The only downside are all the characters. There are so many that sometimes I forget who is who.

I absolutely love how this author writes from Bree’s point of view. It’s like Bree is telling us this story as she’s living it. It’s more intense than a normal first person narrative. I feel what Bree is feeling. When her heart soars, mine is right there with her. And when she nearly has her heart broken, I want to go drown my sorrows in whiskey along with her.

This is a fantastic series! Seriously dedicate some time to it. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Midlife Fairy Hunter

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


BETTER THAN THE FIRST!/strong>

Wow wow wow! OMG – I’m going to combust from all the sexual tension between Crash and Breena!

I thought book 1 was really good, but this was even better. It had that can’t eat, can’t sleep, IT factor and I couldn’t put it down!

Quick overview: Crash buys Breena’s grandma’s house and asks her to move in to keep Feish company while he does a job. Breena accepts a job from a Fae Queen and forms her own version of the Hollows with her friends. She also stands up to a few foes and discovers a little bit about her own family lineage.

Really this is a MUST READ series. I hope the next book continues to improve on the really good foundation the first 2 books have provided. I need to stop writing so I can start reading the next book. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Midlife Bounty Hunter

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐



40 and kicking ass

Nice fantasy/sci-fi adventure book! I’m looking forward to reading more in this series!

Breena is a 40+ year old recently divorced woman who returns to her hometown of Savannah to get back to her roots. Her ex has stolen her grandmother’s house and she is trying to earn money to buy it back.

I really liked how Breena is starting to gain confidence and own herself in this first book. I love when she cops an attitude and kicks ass.

I’m nearing 40 and totally get all the body aches and pains that you don’t have at 20. I can also sympathize with a lot of Breena’s thoughts about the younger kids.

Even with all this good there were a few things that annoyed me. I didn’t like how Breena kept referring to her ex as Himself. I wish she would have used a different nickname or explained it a lot earlier in the book. Also, I got really tired of heard how old and out of shape she is. She did too. Lol.

Overall, this is a solid book and I’m looking forward to continuing with this series. If you’re looking for this type of book you might enjoy it. It’s worth the try. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: The Promise of Hades

Image via: https://amzn.to/3rpWYGW

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Yes yes yes!!

This whole series is phenomenal! I think I’m going to continue to read these books until I’m sick of Greek mythology. Haha.

In this book, Persephone faces her final trials. Her brother Sam comes from the mortal world to Olympus with her. Persephone and Hades discover who is after her and what their end game is and we find out who will be Hades’ new bride.

Everything about this book was done so well. We even got to see Buddy come back for one final scene. The writer(s) did a great job of bringing everything together and tying up most loose ends, but allowing room for spin offs and sequels.

If you enjoy Greek mythology, you should be reading this series! These are quick reads that you won’t be able to put down. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: The Passion of Hades

The Passion of Hades by Eliza Raine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It keeps getting better!!

Wow! This series has me hooked! I can’t wait to start the next book!

Persy moves onto round two of the trials and regains some of her previous power. In this book she faces some scary sea monsters and endurance tests. She also starts regaining her bond with Hades. Yay!!

There was more sex related scenes in this book than the last. I have no doubt that if this book continues on its current path, there will be some sex scenes in our future.

There is so much action, adventure, romance, and mystery in this book that it’s very difficult to put down! Luckily, it’s also short, so you won’t be lacking sleep for too long while you stay up reading it. 😂

Give this series a try if Greek mythology is your thing. This is definitely worth it! Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: The Power of Hades

The Power of Hades by Eliza Raine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yes Yes Yes!! This a great quick read fantasy book! I’ve already moved onto the second book before writing this, because I couldn’t take the time to stop and review this one. I had to start reading the next one now!

Knowing a little Greek mythology might help you in this book, but it’s not necessary, because Persephone (the leading female) doesn’t remember her own history. So, we’re all learning the history together.

In this book, Persephone (Persy), is a human living a normal life in New York, when she’s abducted by Zeus and taken to the Underworld. There, she’s forced to compete to be Hades bride. However, she quickly finds out she was previously a powerful and feared goddess who was married to Hades. In order to live, she must compete in the trials against gods and demigods who all have powers, while she’s still a human.

There’s a fair amount of grammar mistakes throughout this book, but there aren’t enough to detract from the overall book. It’s been a while since I’ve read a book with this many though, so I feel like it’s worth mentioning in case you’re put off by that.

There aren’t any sex scenes, but there are a few scenes that start to look like they’re heading in that direction. Maybe in some future books there will be some? It doesn’t really need them, the plot and writing is great on it’s own.

Overall, this is a fantastic book! Kudos to the authors! If you’re a fantasy reader, definitely consider adding this to your must read list. Happy reading y’all!

Book Review: Born in Fire

Born in Fire (Fire and Ice Trilogy, #1)Born in Fire by K.F. Breene
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m pumped to read more!

This is the first book in the series, so we spend quite a bit of time meeting the characters.

There’s our mystery female lead, Reagan. We find out that she’s a bounty hunter who doesn’t want people to find out her lineage, because if her Dad finds out about her, then life will become difficult.

Next is the handsome, vampire male lead, Darius. Yummy! Strong, fast, sexy, and has manners to die for! Yes! These two team up to take on a mystery person who is trying to amass an army to take over and gain power.

In short, we have a fun little plot and good characters. We throw in good mages Dizzy and Callie for kicks and giggles and this is an enjoyable first book in the series.

I’m excited to read the next. I enjoy the swears this author uses. They’re creative and funny. I hope you give this a try. Happy reading y’all!!

Book Review: Cursed Prince

Cursed Prince (Night Elves Trilogy #1)Cursed Prince by C.N. Crawford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Exciting first book!

This is an exciting opening to the Night Elves Trilogy! Ali is an assassin for the Night Elves and it’s her job to return an object hidden away in a safety deposit box. While on her mission, everything falls apart and she winds up in jail where she meets Marroc. Ali and Marroc escape and go on their own mission to free Marroc from his curse.

It’s always hard to learn a new world and new people. This author does a good job of introducing enough people so you have more than just the main characters, but not enough people that your head is spinning. There’s adventure, magic, a budding romance, and many other wonderful parts to this book.

I do have to throw this out there, because ever since I watched House of Wax when I was younger, I have issues with people losing fingers in books. I know a finger is a benign thing to lose compared to an entire arm or leg, but it unsettled me for some reason.

Anyhow, this is a great first book and I’m looking forward to reading more in this series. I hope you try it! Happy reading y’all!

Book Review – Sin & Surrender

Sin & Surrender (Demigods of San Francisco, #6)Sin & Surrender by K.F. Breene
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Happily Ever After


Wow! What doesn’t this book have?! Love, danger, adventure, mystery...it has it all and it’s been done perfectly. I laughed, I cried, and I couldn’t put this book down.

Here’s a quick synopsis: Alexis and Kieren go the the Summit and establish themselves as leaders not to be messed with. We find out who Harding really is and meet the real Harding. Daisy meets someone who makes her heart flutter. And finally, we reclaim someone we lost and find truths about others.

This feels like the conclusion of the Sin series with an opening for a series with Daisy. I couldn’t imagine a better ending and I really hope we get to experience a series with Daisy. She really has grown on me during this series and I would love for her to have a happier (because this is already her happy) ending.

Overall, this is a great series and if you haven’t started it yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? Start reading this today! Happy reading y’all!!
