Feathers and Flame by N.B. Snook

3.0

Wow, what a read.
(3.5 is my rating but you can’t add half stars)

I’m first going to start off saying I honestly forgot what genre this ARC copy fell under. I’m a fast reader, all genres so i joined quite a few and was utterly surprised at how fast I fell for the story.

Feathers and Flames is a urban romance book, and to me was very intriguing. Everything flowed nicely, nothing felt dragged and nothing felt rushed. I was honestly wanting more.
It follows Thora as she works to figure out who she is, what she means to the conduit community while finding out answers about her past she buried deep. She’s also learning to live in a community that nobody knows exists.

I do wish that Snook would have given us more between The main characters Kieran and Thora. I felt like there was so much more potential to make it more romantic but the story in itself is a good book.
I also wish more was divulged about Kieran since we learn so much in depth about Thora.

‘Wolf finishes cutting the fabric off Kieran’s shirt and pulls it off of him, leaving his bare chest exposed. If circumstances where different, I might have found myself focused on the chiseled lines of the muscles in his arms and along his torso, but I can’t look away from the tattoo just below his left shoulder.’

‘Kierans mouth moves. I don’t hear the words, and I’m pretty sure he didn’t speak them aloud, for they where only meant for me. ‘Trust me’ and I do’

I’m very excited to see where she takes the next book, it does end on a cliffhanger. Everything flows together nicely.
If you’re looking for a new interesting witchy read defiantly checkout this book!

The Wild by Jenika Snow

4.0

This is my first shifter romance/ fated mates novel and I’m glad it was by Jenika Snow.
I wasn’t sure what I was expecting and I haven’t read any of the others in the series so this is solely based on this book as a stand alone.

Ohdran and Larkin are fated mates that get thrust into chaos when a group who calls themselves the Assembly steps in to round up otherworldly creatures.

Jenkin had me absolutely captivated at the Scottish lug who fell in love with Larkin.

“I donna see flaws. I Donna see scars. The ugliness we perceive in ourselves doesn’t define us. It shapes and molds us and we become fucking battle gods because of it. Ye hear me, lass? Ye are a warrior who conquered.”

Who wanted want a big burly Scottish wolf lusting after them day in and day out.

“I’m just flesh and bone, a male who is looking into the most gorgeous blue eyes I’ve ever seen, and praying tae whatever gods will listen that they’ll never take ye away from me again.”

Snow did a good job captivating me but I would have loved to see more detail in between the chapters,

Forged by the Past by Aimee Robinson

“Dorothy’s tornado ain’t got nothing on Beth’s nuclear option. Because last she checked, time tracking back to the pre- revolutionary war era couldn’t be solved by clicking one’s heels. “

Hole - e - crap.
This is a first read for me from the author and I was blown away immediately. I absolutely love this book, and was not disappointed.

Robinson takes us on a magical twist as Beth gets thrown into the past in a pretty incredibly thought out way. I’ve never been so frenzied to finish a book to see how it ends.
My only regret was not waiting until my kids were in bed first, I truly didn’t want to set it down.

Very rarely do I find myself feeling emotion towards a book and it just shows how well an author describes their characters backgrounds.

If you want a fresh romance, are into time travel and want more curvy female leads in your books then you need to check this out!

Quick trigger warning; grief, body image, grief, loss of ; wife /‘child.
* it is book 3 but I read as a stand alone and highly recommend it!

I was humble enough to receive an ARC of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Filthy Crown by Eleanor Aldrick

4.0

This book was highly recommended (via Amazon reviews) so I wasted no time grabbing it. I was not disappointed, it was an amazing read although if you’re not one for taboo, age gap, forbidden then this won’t be for you.
Penelope is Jack’s somewhat niece though the line is grey it’s implied.

“You’re my anchor, jack. You tether me to reality when I’m drifting away in a sea of desolation.”

The only reason I gave it four stars was because I felt the ending was very rushed. I wished it would have sprawled out more.
