I was pretty pleased with this weeks selection of books. I guess I do have my favorites as far as genre's go. :)
This weeks genre theme: Fae/Fairy
Ascension by Zoe Parker - 5 Stars *****
Ever get a job that sucks?
My name is Iza Black and my life IS the sucky job.
I mean yeah, there are perks. Live-in maid service, free
food and I get this purple, sparkly aura thing.
But there are way more bad parts.
So many people, so much pain. Sleep has divorced me
completely and I'm living their nightmares now too.
I'm not sure I'm strong enough for this, that I can do what
needs to be done. But I have to. Because it's my job...because someone needs
to. These people need violence to meet violence. Hugs don't always fix things
in our world.
Then there's Phobe. Frustrating, Phobe-the-jerk.
How does he fit into this, you may ask?
Keep reading and you'll find out.
Snake in the Grass by Kimbra Swain - 4 Stars ****
Shady Grove is having a fairy council election!
Grace’s throne isn’t on the ballot until she walks into
town.
Grace Ann Bryant, Queen of the Exiles, lives in Shady Grove,
Alabama, a small one-horse town where the population is mostly fairies. Since
taking over the title as their Queen, Grace has found the job to be an
overwhelming task. So, the citizens decide to hold a council election to
support the fairy population and the natural trouble that arises. However, when
a legitimate challenger slithers into town, the throne is suddenly for grabs.
Amidst fending off the challenge, a Kitsune rolls into town
looking for a mate, and she has her sights set on Grace’s fiancé, Dylan. Grace
has to fight for her throne, her fiancé, and her life, as her challenger pushes
the limits.
If you think human elections can be wild, just wait until
you see how manipulative and vindictive fairies can be! When it’s all said and
done, Grace discovers the true snake in the grass, but at what cost? The true
power she faces is beyond anything she could have ever imagined.
Of Gods and Fae by Tom Keller - 4 Stars ****
You see plenty of strange things when you're a P.I. in Las
Vegas, but even that couldn’t prepare ex-cop Robert Hoskins for what was to
come. At first he couldn't believe that all those stories he'd been told as a
child were true. But hearing that the Fae had taken the casinos over from the
mob was something else. Elves, Dwarves, Werewolves and Faeries were just the
beginning and battling dark Mages, the opening act.
Having banished his enemy to the cold hell of Tartarus he'll
now have to travel to the Fae lands to claim his birthright. Along the way, and
after, there's Demons and Dragons to fight and a trip down the river Styx to
the gates of Hades itself is on the playlist if he'll want to defeat the dark
Fae's minions and undo an ancient curse.
From the author of "Return of the High Fae," this
is book two in the Vegas Fae stories but a standalone novel in its own right.
Sin City will never be the same.
Fae's Choice by Logan Byrne - 3 Stars ***
I was told to choose between three sexy fae men. So I chose
them all.
Kira Frost, fae princess and future leader of the
matriarchal kingdom of Terrandale, must make a choice.
To receive her elemental powers and the ability to control
water, she must complete four harrowing feats representing each of the elements
her people control.
And she must complete them alongside three sexy fae men from
opposite elemental lines vying for her love and affection.
They all want her, but she can only have one—bonding herself
to one man for life in exchange for her powers and her future throne. There’s
only one problem: she wants them all.
She figures out a way she can have her cake and eat it too,
receiving her elemental powers and creating the reverse harem of her dreams.
But first she’ll have to make it happen—while also fighting
off fierce mountain trolls, golems, a manticore, and a ferocious dragon.
Enchantment by Tanya Dawson - 3 Stars ***
One girl. Two bloodlines. One pledge to be made.
When Olivia Whitby’s mother vanishes, a cryptic letter left
at her door leads her to a family she never knew – a family of Fae.
However, the secrets run even deeper, and Olivia soon finds
herself trapped amongst the power struggle between the Fae and the Sabean
Vampires, whom she is thoroughly warned to stay away from. However, the
possibility of finding out the truth about herself is too captivating, as is
Henry, an enigmatic Sabean vampire. To make matters worse, she is also falling
for her guardian, Skylar.
Time is closing in. Torn between both worlds, Olivia must
soon pledge to one side or the other. The balance of the underworld could
depend on it. Will she choose her Fae bloodline, or will those damn Sabean
vampires sway her away?
That wraps another week of good reads. :) I hope you are reading something great.
As always, thank you for stopping by.
