Alpha's Claim book review

A book review of the novel: Alpha's Claim: Urban Fantasy Romance Standalone Book 7 of 9 in the Kingdom of Wolves series written by Amelia Hutchins.

Theme: Werewolves, Shifters, Vampires, Demons, Strong Heroine, Alp    es, Pregnancy, Escape, Hiding, 

Rating: 3 stars out of 5. 

If you've read any of the other series of the author such as the The Fae Chronicles then it's pretty much the same except that instead of Fae you have shifters. Also, the author pretty much copied and pasted the bio's of all the characters even intermingled some names, and added a similiar plot line but with a twist: girl doesn't want guy hurt so she lies to save life & rejects his mate claim, years later he returns with full vengeance to make her pay, they of course argue & f*ck, in fact there is lots & lots of sex with the two main characters even though they supposedly can't stand each other. Then something happens and he thinks she's even more awful, convinces her pack too so everyone hates her, she gets really, really hurt, more sex, still hate, more sex, still hate, more sex, she runs away, he hunts her down after finding out she really isn't a bad person, makes her come back, with of course, one more bad thing and then bammmm, they all live happily ever after. No grovelling. No forgiveness need.

...ugh, past me the puke bucket.

Oh, should be we talk about the 'book stuffing' at the start of this book or is everyone else ok with clicking through 21 pages just to get to chapter 1. ????

Grab the book here in the USA or here in Australia.

Hexed & Vexed book review

 

A book review of the novel: Hexed & Vexed written by Rebecca Royce.

Theme: Weak Heroine, Alpha Male, Witches

What the book was about:
A witch without any powers who was stood up at the alter. A strong Alpha witch who wants to win her heart.

What the book actually contained:
"The worst witch in witching school" was just trying to make a life for herself after being dumped at the alter. She had her own store, was living her life without magic and was just trying to fit in as an 'unwitch' in a 'witchy world'.    Then a strong alpha male comes along and needs her help, which of course she gives and will they have a happily ever after or will everything get in their way?

Was the book worth buying/reading?
Yes!  I loved the plot, the 'witch who wasn't really a witch'. How she kept bumping into her ex all the time. Those damn cookies that her mother made her eat every week that were god-awful but she ate it anyway to be polite. The twin sister and her new husband. The way the Alpha male was introduced, how she helped him and his honest 'please pick me' confessions that he kept using throughout the book.
I'm definitely looking forward to reading more in the series.

Rating: 5 stars out of 5.

At His Will book review

A book review of the novel: At His Will written by Trent Evans. 

Theme: Alpha Male,Bully,Wealth, Humiliation, Dark Romance, Spanking, Punishments, Betrayal, Blackmail, Thief, Sick Child

This book is about a girl who needs money desperately, so she steals it from work but she gets caught then she ultimately gets blackmailed by her boss: do whatever he says, when he says or go to jail.

He punishes her, humiliates her as expected. 

There are some good scenes within the book but then there are some scenes that let the book down. 

First off, I don't like how he takes controlf of her in regards to her child which is actually kind of a minor thing and towards the end of the book but it still bugged me.

Then there was how, at the end of the contract, he declares his love and she immediately accepts it bla bla bla, yet only a few pages ago he was still calling her a whore.

The last chapter had the nanny but why? Her contract was up with her boss so she shouldn't be in the story anymore, it just didn't fit.

The Epiloque was just weird and didn't fit in with the timeline and actually made the storyline that much weirder, it left an odd feeling about the book and honestly, I don't think I'll ever be rereading this.

Rating: 4 stars out of 5.

The Alpha's Oracle by Merry Ravenell

A book review of the novel: 

The Alpha's Oracle by Merry Ravenell

This is book one in the series IronMoon and it's full of tough fighting Alpha males whom you hate at first read but then slowly begin to like as you understand more about them.

The book is based around the Seer/Oracle, Giana and how she was claimed against her will by the brutal alpha Gabel.

He's rough, tough, mean and brutal.

How will she cope? She's removed from her home, marked against her will, humilated and just wants to go back home.

I loved this book. It's a rough & tumble werewolves series, no lovey dovey stuff here!

Five out of Five stars for me!  I'm clicking straight over to buy the second book in the series.

No Alpha by G. Bailey

A book review of the novel: No Alpha written by G. Bailey.

Theme:
Werewolves, multiple Alpha's, weak Heroine... or is she?

What the book was about:
This book had potential, a great plot - a weakling female wolf shifter who nobody wanted. Three buff Alpha males to her rescue or well, to actually kind of abduct her. Rape, well it kind of wasn't but hey, it was. What would happen to her? Would she find a happily ever after?

What the book actually contained:
A rushed storyline, especially at the end. It ended on a supposed cliff-hanger but hey, I didn't actually care at that stage as the last chapter was too rushed, too much thrown in and I lost all 'connection' with the female.
A confusing era - when was the story actually supposed to be set in? The females wear corsets and they ride in horse drawn carriages yet their speech was modern and this well, when can you actually squeeze a glass bottle? (see image below).

Was the book worth buying/reading?
Well, no.
If the writer had taken her time to flesh out the characters a bit more and didn't rush the story line then yes. If the writer had shown more maturity within the writing itself and had stuck to a game plan rather than meeting a wordcount and finishing it off as quickly as possible, then yes.
If the writer could choose an 'era' in which the story was set and stick to it, then yes.
The main character was totally naïve and her constant 'talkback' to the scary Alpha's didn't fit with her character.
Yes, there was a twist at the end but not one that engaged the reader because by at this point the author was stuffing as much as she could into the book with minimum, making it rushed & very shallow.
There is a second book in this series but heck, I'm not even going to bother reading it as I'm guessing it'll contain the same rushed plot, thin characters and weird-ass happens that don't really fit in with the actual story.

Rating:
3 stars out of 5.
