3.5 stars — There were some absolute 5 star moments in this book where Lucas and Tess would settle into this teasing banter, and I would be on my walks laughing out loud, and it was just delightful. But there were also moments that felt drawn out, moments where the development of Tess may have […]
4 stars — I was worried about this one, because I had kind of expected Daisy to have changed a lot given her burns at the end of that last book. But she really hadn’t. We got a look inside her head, and initially I was pretty disappointed. And even O’jek was a bit…brusque. Which […]
3.5 stars — It was definitely cute, but it felt like what it was: a bonus novella to top off a series. I wasn’t expecting the prologue and epilogues, but I thought they worked okay as a way to finally introduce Aubrey and Landon’s story. Aubrey was pretty awesome. I appreciated how smart she was […]
4 stars — This was totally entertaining, and while I bet I would have enjoyed the cameos more if I’d read the original Masters & Mercenaries series, I didn’t feel lost. Just like I don’t think anyone would be lost without reading the Nights in Bliss series, but you definitely got some fun cameos out […]
3.5 stars — The humour of these characters is still absolutely fantastic, but I found that I noticed the lack of progression even more in this one. I think my frustration with drawn out mysteries from the reader was showing a bit more. Annette was also extremely frustrating in her obliviousness…or something. There is a […]
4 stars — This series still contains some of the more hilarious characters I’ve ever met, and it delights me to no end…I just wish the pacing was cleaned up a bit, and some bits just feel really repetitive. Still eminently entertaining, especially with Ms. Odom’s narration. I seriously adore Dephne and Annette. They are […]
3.5 stars — I thought I would give another series by Ms. Dixon a try, and while this definitely went better than my foray into fireblood dragons, it still didn’t quite hit the mark like the IPB series and spinoffs for me. At least this one had better pacing and tempo. The narrators were solid, […]
2.5 stars — Well that was a disappointment. I would have enjoyed this book 1000 times more if it was half the size. I truly don’t know if Ms. Dixon lost a good editor, or if it’s KU padding, but it was repetitive as fuck. I can also say that I don’t think the narrators […]
3.5 stars — I thought I would like this one more than I did, but I was disappointed that Sam never really had plans to open up to anyone else, especially Steph…course, that might change after the book takes place, but I’m still bummed. Sam had a LOT going on with her, and having never […]
4 stars — Oh yeah, this was what I was looking for. I was feeling a bit book slumpish, so I was so excited when the audio came out for this one and I pounced on it. This series always gives me what I’m looking for. Obviously I love some stories more than others, some […]
