Ciara Graves

The quality of writing is good, even really good. The plot hangs together well enough and the suspension of belief is not over the top. So why have I given it 2 stars? Because I disagree with making the demonic and the supernatural, specifically the evil part of the supernatural into something that seems sort of cozy, sexy, fun. The pair of protagonists both have a history of abuse which tends to make them sympathetic. At least, I hope that abuse victims get a sympathetic vibe out of the person who meets them. But, the big issue for me is that making the devil sympathetic is hugely wrong on many levels.
There are other stories that go against my beliefs, the core of who I am in other ways, but I refuse to read more of this for that one reason.

If you like the magical realm, I suggest Artemis Fowl books, Harry Potter books (although that rubs up against the edges of acceptable for me too...for the same reason as here, but most of the evil personages there are recognizably evil so...) any ways, 'nuff said.… (més)

Ninna Harvard has found she is the new Historian of the elves after the death of her father. She has been taken from her human world by Alred Lightvale, an elf, who is her protector. This world has elves and goblins fighting.
This was a fun and different read for me. My only problem is it ended too soon and the story was not complete; there are more books in the series.
Ninna is not sure it she wants this new role for her and to make matters worse, her friend has been captured by the goblins.
One chapter is first person by Ninna and the next chapter is first person by Alred. I liked this as it gave different views.
I will give the book a 4 star because I did like it. I downloaded ot from Amazon to put on my Kindle.… (més)

This story follows Mercy Temple, a bounty hunter in a world where human, demon, vampire, etc all know of each other but attempt to remain mostly segregated in zones of human or supernatural referred to as supes. Her background is a bit of a mystery that slowly comes out through this first book. This is the first of a series. In the first book she runs up against a Federal agent that is also a demon when both of them are tracking the same wanted mage. Their interaction becomes more and more entangled as they attempt to work at a common cause although for conflicting outcomes. Good story and kept my attention throughout and the sample chapter of book 2 is good to pull you into the next chapter.… (més)

Got this book free on Amazon. I'm glad I decided to read new books to me this month because I've come up with some really good reads. This one is definitely on top.

This book is about a bounty hunter named Mercy, she gets a bounty that is going to pay a high amount, well she comes across a demon named Raphael. And an interesting pairing comes to light.

What I love about this book, is that it's super easy to get into, and honestly, I did not want to put it down, two the heroine and main male didn't instantly get into the sack. They're building up into something, what it will become will be fun to read. But the best part is that they both have some kind of history that they tend to keep on the back burner, and I love how you find little details here and there.

I cannot wait to read the next in the series.… (més)
