Release Week Review: To Kill A Shadow(Mistlands #1) by Katherine Quinn

 

Jude Maddox knows nothing of love or even light. He knows only his grim duty as the Hand of Death, to lead the Knights of the Eternal Star into a land filled with nightmares and certain demise. It’s only when he sees her—a young woman with wild, amber eyes who’s as fierce, defiant, and swift as the shadow beasts themselves—that he feels the warmth of life in his blood…

The other knights may fear their lethal commander, with his hard, merciless demeanor. Outcast Kiara Frey sees only a leader, a man who knows how to survive. Someone like her. But wanting him is as treacherous as the shadows themselves…and just as seductive.

With a kingdom on the verge of collapse, the knights must now venture into the darkest heart of the land and uncover the secrets of the misted shadows, where evil will prey upon their minds and feast on their flesh.

It will betray their senses.

It will surpass their nightmares.

Most of them will die.

But they have no other choice. Because the only way to fight the darkness…is to become it.

 What I thought about To Kill a Shadow 

Jude Maddox is one of the Knights of the Eternal Star. He's out searching for new recruits when he meets tough girl Kiara Frey.  There's something about her that's different and it makes him take notice. Jude is focused on his job to bring the sun back to their kingdom, but they'll have to go through a whole lot before that can happen.  There's a mist that is full of monsters in their way! 

Kiara becomes a recruit and their relationship dynamic becomes commander-recruit which I thought was interesting as well as straddling the forbidden.  In spite of the "insta-attraction" their relationship is slow burn which I love. It really works in this YA fantasy / romance.

The author has created a harsh world in the Mistlands and there is quite a bit of world building as one might expect in such a fantasy / romance. Sometimes things get a bit bogged down, but overall, the story moves at a nice pace, and the ending is really terrific. You will want more of this unique world and its characters. The ending will leave you wanting more.

Release Day Review: There Should Have Been Eight by Nalini Singh

In this chilling thriller from New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh, a remote estate in New Zealand’s Southern Alps hosts a reunion no one will ever forget.

Seven friends.
One last weekend.
A mansion half in ruins.
No room for lies.
Someone is going to confess.
Because there should have been eight. . . .

They met when they were teenagers. Now they’re adults, and time has been kind to some and unkind to others—none more so than to Bea, the one they lost nine long years ago.
 
They’ve gathered to reminisce at Bea’s family’s estate, a once-glorious mansion straight out of a gothic novel. Best friends, old flames, secret enemies, and new lovers are all under one roof.

What I thought about There Should Have Been Eight 

In this psychological thriller, childhood friends convene for a reunion that turns out to be a whole lot more.  I've read quite a few of these "locked-room-mysteries" this year and this one does not disappoint.

The story centers around Luna, one of the group who happens to have a medical situation that she's struggling with. She hasn't told her friends about it at all. And she's going to be critical to figuring out just what is going on at that remote mansion where the reunion takes place. 

I really liked the pace of this story.  The story gradually reveals not only what's going on in the present, but what happened years ago to one of their friends.  There are the usual twists and turns as the story is revealed, and I didn't see all of them coming at me.  

As is usually the case, there's plenty of diversity and locations that I'm not familiar with and that is a definite plus.  I thought this thriller was an entertaining read.

Release Day Review: 7 Steps to Seducing Your Fake Fiancé (Bower Boys #5) by Kelly Siskind

7 Steps to Seducing Your Fake Fiancé

(Bower Boys, Book 5)
COMING NOV. 15TH

What's worse than being fake engaged to a woman who despises you? Falling head over heels for her.

Larkin Gray hates me with the fire of ten thousand suns.

We haven’t seen each other in twelve years, but she’s still furious with me for breaking a promise to her…and she’s even prettier than I remember.

But there’s no undoing the damage I caused.

Since I can’t make amends, I avoid her lethal glare at all costs. Until I stumble upon her lying about having a fiancé to her ex, and I lose my ever-loving mind. Suddenly, I’m introducing myself as her betrothed and getting us invited to his wedding.

Predictably, Larkin is intent on making my life miserable, except this barbed banter is kind of fun. And the more time we spend together, the more we discover we have in common.

Then she kisses me to prove our relationship status and I damn near lose my heart.

I’m ready to go all in with Larkin, but she’s not the only one I hurt twelve years ago. Her intimidating brother has every reason to hate me too and doesn’t want me touching his sister. But my lips and tongue don’t count as hands. Right?

Trigger warning: Physical and emotional abuse.

 What I thought about 7 Steps to Seducing your Fake Fiancé

Wow!  This was a series that I started on a whim, just because I liked that 50 Ways to Win Back Your Lover cover and I must say that I haven't regretted a single moment reading this wonderful series. It is really terrific as it chronicles the five Bower brothers and their quest to recapture the lives they lost when they were thrown into witness protection years ago.  They all left people behind, and this story deals with Jake and Larkin. 

What starts out as a possible friendship turns ugly when Jake breaks his promise to Larkin, so he has a lot to make up for in this story and Larkin isn't going to make it easy for him!  But the more time they spend together, they both find their feelings changing.  They share a need to protect which drove this story.  I loved the banter between these two!  This is a story of falling in love in spite of previous hurts and I loved that about it.  It's the best part of romance -- the falling! 

Jake also has to make amends to Larkin's brother, who isn't exactly open to any reconciliation. I felt for Jake here because he is not intentionally hurtful. There's alot about dealing with past mistakes in this book and in this series in general, and I liked that theme.  Sometimes you just have to move forward, instead of back and that is clear in this romance.

The Bower boys are part of Jake's story as well, and he gets the support he needs from them, which helped to wrap up this series in a very pleasing way.  This is one of my favorites this year. Every book is entertaining, and Jake and Larkin are no exception.

Coming Soon(ish) from Sarina Bowen!

RELEASE DATE: May 7th, 2024

On an ordinary Monday morning, Ariel Kelly’s phone buzzes with a disturbing text message. Something’s happened. I need to see you. Meet me under the candelabra tree ASAP. The words would be jarring from anyone, but the sender is the only man she ever loved. And it's been several years since she learned he died.

Seeing Drew’s name pop up is heart-stopping. Ariel’s gut says it can’t be real. But she goes to the tree anyway. She has to.

Nobody shows. But the text upends everything she thought she knew about the day he left her. The more questions she asks, the more sinister the answers get. Only two things are clear: everything she was told five years ago is wrong, and someone is still lying to her. 

The truth has to be out there somewhere. To safeguard herself—and her son—she’ll have to find it before it finds her. And with it, the answer to what became of Drew. 

For fans of Laura Dave and Julie Clark, but with a heart-stopping romance that only Sarina Bowen can execute, The Five Year Lie is a page-turning, spine-tingling thriller that will have you guessing until the very end.

Release Day Review: Next-Door Nemesis by Alexa Martin

Two rival candidates for a homeowner’s association presidency are about to find out how dirty suburbanites fight in this steamy new romantic comedy…

After years of hustling, Collins Carter has finally made it...back to her parents’ house. Between tending to the compost with her newly retired dad and running into her high school nemesis at the only decent coffee shop in town, Collins realizes this subdivision from hell she swore she’d never return to is her rock bottom.

Then the homeowner’s association complaint arrived.

Nathaniel Adams always dreamed of a nice, quiet life in his suburban hometown. Or at least that’s what he thought until Collins moved back and sent his quaint, organized life into a tailspin. He thought Collins was infuriating ten years ago, but when she announces she’s running against him for HOA president, all bets are off.

From secret board meetings to vicious smear campaigns whispered over backyard fences, Collins and Nate sink to levels their sleepy suburb has never seen before. But as hate turns into lust, these two enemies are forced to reckon with the feelings they’ve ignored for years. If only there were bylaws for real life.

What I thought about Next-Door Nemesis

In this romantic comedy from Alexa Martin, writer Collins Carter leaves Los Angeles and returns home after a humiliating break up. Coming back  home after years away isn't an easy transition, especially when high school friends and not-friends are her neighbors, and especially annoying is her former friend, real estate agent, Nathaniel Adams.  He ghosted Collins in high school and she's never forgotten.

Nate is not thrilled about Collins return to her  home, and the war between them is on and escalates when they both run for the homeowner's association president.  This sets up all sorts of nasty competitive maneuvers from both parties.  But you know what's said about love and hate -- there's a fine line between them and Collins and Nate come very close to it as they work out their past and move from former friends and enemies to lovers.

I really liked the light-heartedness of this story. I could tell from the start that Collins had some things to work through in her own life, and Nate was one of them. Her journey is an entertaining one, blending regrets and passions and redemption all in the same story.  I liked that about it as it brings a sense of realism to this story -- who hasn't had to lick their wounds and recover from what life throws at  you?  I really liked that theme in the story as well.

Overall, a very entertaining and satisfying romantic comedy with great characters and a writing style that makes you feel like you know these characters right from the start, thanks to some great banter between them. This is really Collins story, told from her point of view, and that worked for me but there's some nice sexual tension and plenty of flirting between these main characters to satisfy my romantic soul.

Release Day Review: Corrupt (Devil's Night #1) By Penelope Douglas

Dreams might be a heart’s desire, but nightmares are its obsession in the first novel of a dark romance series from New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas.
 
Erika Fane’s boyfriend’s older brother is handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. The star of his college’s basketball team gone pro, he’s more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than he is with her. But she saw him. She heard him. The things that he did, and the deeds that he hid…
 
For years, Erika bit her nails, unable to look away. Now, she’s in college, but she hasn’t stopped watching him. He’s bad and the things she’s seen aren’t content to stay in her head anymore.
 
Because he’s finally noticed her.
 
But Michael Crist knows the hold he has on Rika, how much she fears him. She looks down when he enters the room and stills when he’s close. He knows she thinks only of him. When Michael’s brother leaves for the military, leaving Rika alone and unprotected, he knows the opportunity is too good to be true. 

Three years ago she put Michael’s friends in prison, and now they’re free.  

Every last one of her nightmares is about to come true.

What I thought about Corrupt 

Erika Fane is smart, beautiful and in love with Michael Crist, the older brother of the guy she just broke up with.  She's almost part of the Crist family after losing her father and her mother's declining health.  But she's always had a thing for Michael, and she'd do anything for her chance with him, even commit crimes with Michael and his three friends, known to the town as The Horsemen.

When one of the pranks goes awry, three of the 4 horsemen are incarcerated. They believe that Erika outed them to the cops, and have had three years to plan their revenge. And they really want revenge.  Michael was never arrested, and he's a bit more on the fence with the revenge plot. Does he side with his friends?  Or with the young woman he refuses to admit his feelings for? Because Michael does have feelings for Rika, but his friends are in the way.

Told in an alternating timeline between the present and three years ago on the fateful night of the crime, the story seesaws back and forth telling the story of what happened.  There's secrets to be uncovered as The Horsemen find out all is not what it seems.  And Rika may just get her chance with Michael, too... but there's definite questions about whether it can last.

I loved the fast pace of this story.  Things moved along quite nicely, keeping my attention to the end. I really couldn't put this down until I found out what happens! I did like the way the story was told in the alternating time line since it takes some time to get to the truth of what happened that fateful night, and the ending was explosive and full of terrifying action, which I also liked a lot about this story.  There's also plenty of steamy moments throughout, too!

While at times I found the actions of the horseman to be criminal, the story does illustrate the power of the rich and how they can get away with things others may not be able to. What I liked the most was the question that Michael faced. Should he be loyal to his friends or the woman that holds his heart?  You'll have to read to find out!

Review: All the Little Truths (Finley O’Sullivan Book 3) By Debra Webb

From USA Today bestselling author Debra Webb comes another heart-pounding thriller featuring investigator Finley O’Sullivan, this time taking on a cold case that could uncover new dangers.

Legal investigator Finley O’Sullivan has dealt with her share of shady characters, but the firm’s latest client has an even darker past than most. In fact, Nashville Metro Police seems to think he’s a murderer.

Finley isn’t so sure. Her investigation into Ray Johnson’s history focuses on the unsolved murder of a teenager who died seventeen years earlier. The case went cold, but questions remain. Months after the girl’s death, people close to her started disappearing—her mother first, then Ray’s brother. But why?

As Finley races to solve a decades-old murder, she uncovers new clues and long-buried secrets that could blow the case wide open. But whoever killed the girl all those years ago may still be a threat—and now the chase is on.

What I thought about All the Little Truths

 Finley O'Sullivan is back with another mystery to solve. After solving the case related to her husband's murder, Finley is tasked to find out the truth about the thirteen year old murder of Lucy Cagle, a young woman who wanted to be an investigative reporter like her mother.

During the investigation of the Johnson family for some very serious crimes, her murder is unsolved and a new piece of evidence suddenly becomes available, and it points to Ray Johnson. Finley is tasked to figure out who really did it and her journey takes her through lots of uniquely interesting turns as she uncovers the bits and pieces of the puzzle. I really like Finley, she's smart, tenacious and fearless.

The new case gets more interesting when someone close to Finley seems to be involved. I was really engaged in this book. By the time Finley was putting the evidence together, so was I and while I didn't see all that was coming at me, I really liked how the puzzle all came together.

Overall, another satisfying mystery-suspense that kept me reading and on the edge of my seat.
