Oubliette Review

Oubliette

By Megg Jensen

Summary

Reychel thought she was finally free. She was wrong. Everyone saw her gift of prophecy as a blessing, but her gift is uncontrollable. No one alive can teach her to manipulate her unique gift and the answers she needs lie buried within a madman’s journals. She’s thrust in the midst of a brewing war and the only uniting factor for her people is their belief in the Prophet.

Will Reychel learn to control her gift or will she be forced to deliver a false prophecy that could lead her people into a violent war?

What I Loved
Series
This is book 2 in the trilogy and I really enjoyed it more than the first. There was so much information that they get, lots of intrigue, back stabbing, betrayal, needless to say it was packed with a lot of good page turning story. I can't wait to read the final book.
Characters
Reychel: I'm so happy with the path her character is going and how her personality is really starting to develop into a strong young woman.
Romance
A little less on the romance in this one verses Anathema, not a lot in both books, but a perfect about.

Didn't Like
Nothing really, it was all enjoyable fast paced read.

Recommendation
Part of a finished series and saga. Great read for those who like fantasy books.

Relentless Review

Relentless

By Cherry Adair

Summary

An Ancient Legacy 

Lately, the gods are not smiling on Isis Magee. How else can she explain the bizarre events that have led her on a relentless high-stakes chase from Seattle to London to Cairo in search of the elusive tomb of history&#8217;s beautiful and enigmatic queen Cleopatra? 

A Hidden Treasure 

Isis has only two leads: a fragmented trail of clues offered in rare moments of lucidity by her father, a once-respected archaeologist whose last dig ended in disaster, and the unique sixth sense of sexy Lodestone agent Connor Thorne. 

The Passion of a Lifetime 

Connor also encountered tragedy in the Egyptian desert not long ago, and as Isis pulls him deeper into her mission to restore her father&#8217;s reputation, he is secretly plotting a revenge of his own. Propelled across wild, untamed sands by vicious unknown forces, the duo is seduced into a labyrinth of secret chambers. When they fear they can go no further, they surrender to their incendiary desires and discover that the prize each separately seeks may be waiting at the end of the same dangerous road.

What I Loved
Characters
Isis: Love her name, but I also love that she is a photographer, made me really want to go out and do some photography as well. Anyways, she is a fun character, I can completely respect her desire to help prove her father right.
Connor: Another brooding sexy man wonderfully created by Cherry. British, who doesn't love a sexy British man. Can kick some major ass and of course add a little bit of broken and you got the perfect romance man.
Romance
As usual to Cherry's wonderful books, always full of steamy, dirty (in this case), sexy romance and sex. Two great fitting characters that compliment each other wonderfully.
Suspense
And of course another perfect Cherry book wouldn't be completely without plenty of gun shooting, car chasing, hand to hand combat, life and death situations all in the exciting and dusty city of Egypt. Which I've always been a bit fascinated and in awe of Egypt's ancient beauty and mystery.

Didn't Like
I really wish there would have been one more chapter of wrapping things up, I know the wrap of stuff would have all been implied stuff but I still would have loved to have read it anyways.

Recommendation
Must read for those romance readers that love a good exciting fast pace book.

Anathema Review

Anathema

By Megg Jensen

Summary

Forget prophecy. Make your own destiny. 

Sheltered from the outside world with no hope for escape, slave girl Reychel dreads her fifteenth birthday - when her master’s symbol is burned on the back of her bald scalp. Her best friend disappears the night before, leaving her to face the branding ceremony alone. She soon discovers nothing is as it seems when people desperate for freedom beg for Reychel's help.

Can Reychel learn to believe in herself?

What I Loved
Story
Very interesting story with lots of intriguing things that we get to find out as Reychel learns about it all. Hidden magical abilities that is just being revealed. Escaping enslavement, being in hiding and learning about the world outside of the castle. Not to mention betrayal and intrigue. Every page brings something interesting and new to our attention.
Characters
Reychel: I'm still trying to figure her out, she is still coming into her strength and I think she will find herself more as the next books progress and she gets more challenged.
Romance
Light on the romance, but some sweet innocent romantic attraction that gets her into a little bit of trouble.

Didn't Like
Nothing really. A quick paced intriguing book. So glad the whole sage is published and I don't have to wait, waiting for the next book would be torture.

Recommendation
Great read for any fantasy reader, especially since the series is fully published and you can buy the whole collection as The Song of Eloh Saga

Hearts of Chaos Review

Hearts of Chaos

By Kira Brady

Summary

To save her world, one woman's fierce quest will put her up against an ancient evil—and a desire too dangerous to deny...

She is betrothed to Seattle's most feared shifter clan leader. Still, the Lady Lucia can never be the dainty aristocratic wife Emory Corbette thinks he needs. And as a malevolent, all-consuming monster plots to take hold of their shattered world, Lucia will risk her untapped powers to defeat it—and challenge the Raven King's seductive rule. 

No one in Emory's many lifetimes has ever defied him. Lucia's courage and strength are shaking his iron control to its core...and making him hungry for all she can give. But their only hope is a wrenching sacrifice that could unite humans and shifters in victory—or destroy everything Lucia and Emory desire most.

What I Loved
Characters
Lucia: In the beginning of the series I wasn't too impressed by her, she was a weak whiny character. By book 2 we got to learn a little more about Lucia and I started thinking ok maybe she does have a little bit of a back bone. By this final book I was way more impressed by her and happy with her personal growth and strength. She still has some moments of weakness that irritate me a little but overall much better.
Emory: We meet him all throughout the other 2 books as well. His character has also been very standoffish and only about being the stone cold hearted leader of his people. Well in this book we final get to understand why he is always so guarded and he finally loosens up a bit.
Romance
Yes lots of romance and lots of sex. But I sometimes felt it was a little too often, I kept on thinking aren't they in a hurry to save the world, but I do think it contributes to there building of trust and there success.
Fantasy
Oh I just love all the fantasy this series has to offer, dragons, shape shifters, God's, humans, magical people etc. Never a dull moment in my ruined city of Seattle.
Trilogy
I also love trilogies. Perfect amount of story to enjoy while not having to wait forever for it to be finished. However I will miss this world Kira has created along with the amazing characters. The story ended well and I'm happy with how things ended. However the epilogue was killer, I'm so hoping for a spin off series to be announced.

Didn't Like
The series has come to an end, I'm hoping for more spin off series.

Recommendation
A must read for paranormal romance lovers.
