Review: Cursed - Lucy Leroux

Image
Cursed - A Spellbound Regency Novel by Lucy Leroux My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is the second story I've read by this author, the first being a much shorter story included in an anthology, and honestly, I've been asking myself why I waited this long to read more of her work. I'd like to say I'm a lover of historical romances, but in all honesty, I'm pretty picky about which ones I read. Cursed was recommended to me by a fellow book lover as something that I might really enjoy and she was so right. A historical romance with paranormal elements, Cursed managed to capture my attention and keep it. I was drawn in by the mystery of Matteo's malady and the expense hit father would go to in order to help his son. Enter our heroine, Isobel who is hiding a secret of her own that could possibly be the solution to Matteo's curse and the story truly gets interesting. For someone who is choosy about what historical books she reads, I found myself devouring Cursed

Review: Coming in Hot

Coming In Hot Boxed Set by Gina Kincade My rating: 4 of 5 stars I will admit that there were times while I was reading this anthology that I seriously wondered WTF. The grammatical errors and the mistakes gave me serious doubt that it was professionally edited. I put it down several times and picked up other books to read to wash the aggravation of poorly edited stories out of my head. Now, normally this is the point when the book gets either deleted or archived on the assumption that it's just not worth the headache. Thankfully, my OCD kept me from putting this aside for very long though. Otherwise, I would have missed a few gems in this bunch. So why 4 stars if I had to drop it several times throughout the entire thing and move on to something more polished? I paid .99 for it. The way I see it, half the stories were pretty good, at least 3 of them stand out and I would definitely read those authors again. So at that price, it was worth it. Would I read the entire thing agai

Review: V Games - Caroline Peckham

Image
V Games by Caroline Peckham My rating: 5 of 5 stars As someone who is not fond of the genre and is admittedly not a reader of young adult books, I tend to be very picky when it comes to which young adult books I do choose to read. Reading the blurb for V Games had me intrigued, so I figured why not. At worse I'd read an easily forgotten book, at best I'd spend a day reading an enjoyable book. I was so wrong. It is not often that I am surprised or impressed by an author, but somehow this completely new to me author, Caroline Peckham, has managed to do both. From the moment I read the first chapter I found myself pulled into the sad and disturbing life of Selena Grey. Peckham's world-building had my heart firmly lodged in my throat. This paranormal Hunger Games where the participants are anything but your innocent children trying to live one more day, has a little bit of everything. Vampires, werewolves, action, suspense, murder, and even a touch of romance, V Games t
