I went blind into this one and I'm happy I read it.
Infatuation is a sweet second chance read with one hot H, who knows what he wants and does everything to get it. I also liked h and sympathized with her situation and her fear of history repeating itself. What their 'parents' did to them when they were young was just cruel and I doubt any loving parent would do that to their child. Thankfully we get to see the couples HEA.
A great read. :)
Safety-gang:(view spoiler)[ There is no cheating at all. H/h know they want each other, so it's a safe read. There is one of H's exes at the wedding, who thinks to spend time with H again but H makes it clear he doesn't want her. That doesn't mean she gives up that quickly. Also at the wedding night in H's POV there was a sentence that really bothered me while he was having sex with h: "I’ve never taken someone so intensely or savagely before, and it’s amazing." I could have gone without this reminder. (hide spoiler)]

When I saw this one was up for graps on NetGalley I was super excited by the blurb and was really looking forward to reading this book. I mean who doeWhen I saw this one was up for graps on NetGalley I was super excited by the blurb and was really looking forward to reading this book. I mean who doesn't like firstly the cover and secondly strong men with guns and an action packed plot, right? So after reading the first few chapters I can say that I really enjoyed the story but then came the freaking questions. I drove me nuts, I mean, I get it, if it's only a few times and on various scenes but to have a person you are talking to reply to you every single time with What happened? No, did that really happen? He did what? He was what? What, what, what? I FREAKING GET IT, OK!!! You tell me once and I'm totally going to understand you. I'm not brain dead or something. And that continued to happen through the whole story. So that was definitely a bummer for me and I admit, there were times where I wanted to give up and just stop reading.

In the end I guess I can also blame my high expectations for the story, since I was really happy to be reading this book. But oh well, it's still a three star read, since not all was that bad.
I liked Cap and Michelle, they were my favourite characters. Yes, I know I'm horrible for not liking the main characters more but what can I say. I loved how Cap has this no bullshit personality and how Michelle just knows what she want and is one super cool chick that doesn't easily freak out. If there is going to be a book about those two, I'm definitely reading it!

Now Terra and Michael were a mess but a beautiful one. Their relationship is now a 'normal' one, since their past and true identity still remains a lie, at least on Terra's side and one that all comes to light, there is going to be a big bum! But for the most part, I find their journey to finding each other real sweet. There are ups and downs but in the end they manage to overcome that and also the epilogue and their new pet, just soooo cute. That added to their story for sure.
All in all, I would say that I liked this story but it could also be better, specially the writing style (question and all that). Also I'm not sure I'm going to be reaging the sequel but who knows, maybe I will, maybe won't. So, if you feel like you like the blurb, then go for it. Read the story and who knows, it might just as well pleasantly surprise you. :)

And now I'm actually feeling sorry that I did in fact read it so fast, because a good book is so hard to come by. Anyway, the author stays true to her writing style and the overall story plot. I feel like we got a lot of answers and new question in this one and now I am already looking forward to reading the next book in this series (that hopefully comes out soon). ...more

Wow, what a let down... I really expected more from this story, since I really liked the first book of this series. What happened to Callie? She went Wow, what a let down... I really expected more from this story, since I really liked the first book of this series. What happened to Callie? She went from a great character to this powerless, whiny and weak character. It's like she had to be saved by Des so many times, it's ridiculous. I mean, why do authors do that? Seriously, what's going on in their heads that they think the readers will like such a character, huh? But thank god for Des and Temper, they saved the day! Literally in this case and multiple times at that! About the writing... The plot was barely there. The second part was kinda all right but truth to be told I really felt stupid when reading the story. You get all the answers pretty early on in the story and then you have to read how the story drags out and about until miraculously the characters figure it out. And that is of course at the very end... Like come on, I want a story to grab my intellectual attention. Otherwise I just get bored and have to stuggle to finish the book. And also, the author should've read the previous chapters she wrote and only then proceed with writing more chapters. There were some parts where she repeated what was already been told previously and then just added a sentence. I mean...you for sure can do better than that. Don't add unnecessary things to the story just to make it longer. Sometimes less is definitely better. So to sum it up, this did not reach up to my expectations. The book had potential but the execution wasn't quite there. It just didn't deliver what it should have. Sure, there are some enjoyable parts of the story but for me it just wasn't enought to make me like the story. ...more

Aaaaand that sums up my feelings perfectly. I mean wtf?!!! I skipped the first part, cause it was boring the house! And the second part was all right, till the 70% marker. Then it just went downhill, again. And don't even get me started on the ending. I mean seriously?! What the hell was the author thinking, huh? Totally not cool or acceptable. And it's no secret that I'm not fond of Cadence's character. What a twat. A goddy doer in the worst kind. And totally too trusting. She's just a horrible character that I wanted to kill, preferably by beheading and blowing up. But just when I thought I got my wish when she fell in the volcano, nope, my hope was shattered. If she's in the next Legion of Angels book I'm done! I do have a feeling that she's going to be the word mother in law, that's for sure! Damien can stay, the rest of this book characters', except Pandora and Nero of course, can take a hike straight to hell and stay there indefinitely! Thank you. ...more

It's nice to get to know Nero's parents and how they met and what adventures they had together. As expected from this author you get lots of action, the right amount of humor and sass and of course a bit of romance that makes you want to read the rest of the books. Would I say that I loved this book as much as Leda and Nero's stories...no but it came pretty close. I did enjoy Cadence and Damien's story and I'm currious enough to read more of what happens to them. It's a great story for sure. Tho I would advise the readers to read the Legion of Angels series first, since both series compliment and interact with each other, especially the third book in this series. ...more

I had problemI had high hopes for this story, since I know this author can write amazing books. But this time it felt like the whole book was rushed. I had problems with the timing, like when Cadence finds out that her whole life she has been lied to. She went from crying to immediately sassy and acted like that moment never happened. It was trippy to say the least and it made me feel like I missed something. I did like Damien a lot tho. He was dare I say perfect. Also the plot wasn't so bad, full of action and romance and we also get a scorching scene. So all in all, I liked it but was expecting more. I hope the next book will be a bit more put together. ...more

I don'Well, let me just start with saying that it wasn't what I was expecting from the main characters, especially not from the "broken" Hummingbird. I don't think it's a spoiler that she's quite the opposite from the past woman we've been reading about. It's like she's all of a sudden a whole new personality and I liked that for her. But at the same time, it felt like it was just to sudden and to fast forward, without a real clean transition from the past her to the present. To me, at least, it felt a little rushed but then I was just going with the flow of the story so it wasn't so bad. As for the plot and the rest of characters, I liked it but didn't love it. I missed the action and to me the plot felt like a changeover to the next book and where this series is going.
All in all, it's a good story and I think that any fan of this series will enjoy it. ...more

I loved everything about this story. From the plot, the characters and illustrations. everything just fit together and made the story really enjoyable and simply a fun PNR read with so many magical creatures. I wish this was a series, since I would really like to know more about these two main characters lives and how their journey continues. But as it is now, is also amazing. We get ending we wish and all is good. To be honest it's been awhile since I last felt so good about reading a story that really made me feel so much joy.

Well that for sure was a fun, short read that left me wanting for more. That cliffhanger at the end, I tell ya, did not like it at all. Now all I want to know is what happens next. I've read more than thousand mangas and it never gets old. I love the artists style for this one and the story itself is not bad. It definitely keeps my attention. Although I find the heroine a bit naive, but overall not dull. Not to mention the hot new guy.

When I saw the blurb I was really intrigued by the plot, since nowadays everything is so focused on social media and we forget more and more that just a couple of years ago we would still write letters and have a more personal connection to each other. I think that the author's approach to tell this story was unique and fresh, since she starts the story by basically showing the reader the letters between these two characters, which I enjoyed reading. But what happened next, and I don't know, if this is this authors debut book, was that the story abruptly changed course. One minute these two characters are writing these letters, having obviously never met in person before and the next they both fell in love with each other. That emotion came, at least to me, completely out of the blue. It went from zero to hundred in a flash. And that's why I think that the author could've spent more time building up the emotions and the story, so that when they did happened they would be believable. The same with the rest of the plot in the sense that the flow of the story could've been more controlled and not cut from one scene to the next. That being said, it's not a bad story and while I did enjoy reading about the characters journey, it's just not that greatly executed. I wished there could've been less day to day showing and more focus on the potential that this story had to show. So all in all, did I love the story? Not really but I would still recommend it to others since they might enjoy it more than me. For me this one was sadly just not my cut of tea. ...more
So... There are a couple things that I liked and there are a few that I didn't. It was just an all right read for me. And since this is my fourth bookSo... There are a couple things that I liked and there are a few that I didn't. It was just an all right read for me. And since this is my fourth book that I've read in a row I think I'm starting to see the authors type of writing and thinking and I'm just not impressed by it. Sorry, but it's the truth. The whole thing with everyone underestimating and not having Kate's back is getting old real fast. And also, where were her friends when she needed them, huh? What happened? In the big battle there was only Curran that had her back. Everyone else was not even mentioned, aside from Andrea. Also, I was not impressed by her behaviour at the end. Now the chapters at the end, just low what the pack did to Kate, really. I don't know why the author won't evolve the characters personalities, it's like they are frozen and with each book you only get a new action plot and that's it. That being said, the best part of this story was definitely and by far Kate's family. To me they are the only thing that makes me want to read the rest of the books. Everything else is just flat and boring. I know that with every book Kate will be treated like dirt, she will still want to save everyone - no idea why, just let them die and she will still be an outsider (to the pack, the humans and so on). I'm disappointed with the author's lack of vision for her characters.

So with all that being said, will I read the rest of the books? No clue, maybe. Truth being said I'm bored and since I've not yet found another book that I would want to read, I'm thus reading this series. Any suggestions about great PNR books would be highly appreciated. ...more

By the looks of it I think we'll also get to know more of her family, not sure that's a good thing or not but we'll see. All in all a great read. ...more

I really liked everything about it. Well... in the beginning Liam is an asshole but in the end he did win me over. And not to mention the plot twists, wow. The one at the end, just insane. Did definitely not see that one coming. Talk about a cliffhanger. But thankfully the next book will soon be out, so I can read about what happens next in Eve's crazy new life. And not to mention all the paranormals. I don't think I've read a book that had them all in. Even Lilith, yes, The Lilith. Lets just say this book is very entertaining. What I wished were perhaps different is the slow burn romance. We get only one hot kissing scene in the whole book, so that was a bummer. But I hope we get lots more of them in the second book.

This book was quite all right and I liked it but I don't think I'm going to continue reading the rest of the series. Why? Well some parts of the plot were just too slow for me and I just wished more from her potential lovers. I adored Tye and Shade but Coal and River were just mean jerks that had their walls so high up that I do doubt Lera will ever be able to tear them down. Other than that I liked the plot for the most part, it's fresh and has a lot of potential. I also liked Lera's character. She was fun and brave when needed. I do wonder how she'll evolve in the next book. Maybe I'll read it but it for sure won't be right now. ...more

3,5 STARS
I confess, it's been awhile since I last read this series and I forgot some of what was happening but the more I read the story the more memories came back. So I would definitely recommend to read all of the previous books in this series, just so you don't get lost in what's happening plot wise. And that brings me to the plot of this story. It was all right but I was quite disappointed that nothing really happened with the big picture. The mission Bradach was given by Death, as he is one of her Reapers, was that he finds and I suppose also saves one of Usaeil's aka. the evil queen's prisoners. And that's where the plot let me down big time. Because guess what, nobody gets saved, we get more questions than answers and also half of the plot was wainting on Rhi to save the day, which would be great if she was actually even in the book.
[image]
But no, all we get is, at least with what I assume will happen, the premise for the next book. This story felt more like a filler to me and while I enjoyed the romance between Bradach and Maeve, I wished for more. Maeve is a great character and I quite like her, so that's why I give this book a three and a half star rating. So will I be reading the next book, well I honestly don't know. Maybe if it's about Rhi but probably not if it's about someone else....more
