Drivel! Absolute drivel!

"I'd only made it this far because of dumb luck, because of my boobs."

An earthquake causes a zombie apocalypse and also opens up an underground world filled with chisel chested, well-endowed grey men. One of these grey men saves our main character, learns English by listening to steamy audiobooks, and spends the entire book groping her as they make their way through a zombie infested land.

The End.

Book 4 in my Zombie-a-thon!

CW: Coarse language used to describe body parts… (més)

Collette spent most of her childhood being abused. As a half wolf- half witch hybrid, she never quite fit in anywhere. After being captured and tortured by a warlock, Collette meets Griff, a werewolf who she bonds with. Griff's pack rescues them and Collette finally finds a home with Griff's pack. However, as Collette turns 21, everything is about to change. Thanks to a curse placed upon the werewolves by witches centuries ago, a werewolf will know their true mate by scent when they are both 21. Collette quickly learns that her true mate is not Griff, but a wolf named Hunter from a southern pack. Collette hates to leave her family, but is determined to make things work with Hunter no matter how difficult it may seem. Complications arise when Collette learns that Hunter's pack are witch hunters and does everything she can to hide that part of herself as she gets to know Hunter. Just as Collette is feeling ready to complete the mating ritual with Hunter, she is captured by a witch who has plans to use Collette in order to control the werewolves and bring herself to power.

Hexed Hearts is a new-adult paranormal romance with star crossed lovers, witches and werewolves. I was captured in the very beginning as Collette is held hostage and Griff helps her survive. I do wish we could have seen a little more of Collette and Griff growing up together to cement their bond. They were obviously shared more than surviving being captured together. I was very interested in the curse and why witches would curse the wolves to know their true mate, since this didn't exactly seem like a bad thing to me. We do find out more about the curse later on when the witches enter the scene, but I still feel like I was missing some backstory. Things heated up when Hunter and Collette found one another and Collette had to leave her pack. There was a lot of tension as Collette was taken away by a pack and mate that she didn't know and could potentially be a threat to her as a half-witch. I'm glad Collette and Hunter got to know one another and eventually trust one another, and this is the bulk of the story; however, nothing exciting happens until almost the end as Collette is captured. In Collette's confinement, we finally learn a lot about the witch and werewolf feud and Collette learns to harness her powers together. The ending wrapped up quickly and I was a little confused by Collette's actions, but I'm glad for where she ended up.… (més)
