Brand new Hidden Angels series
New release: Captive of the Darkness

On Riley’s 18th birthday, she is told she’s a demon hunter, like the rest of her family. She shrugs the news off in disbelief but that very night she unwittingly enters the lair of a powerful demon and her whole world is turned upside down.

She meets a stripper nicknamed Cupid, who states he is prisoner of the demon. He is a graceful ballet dancer forced into slavery but yearning to escape his dangerous master. When she sees a glowing aura around this young man, she realizes he isn’t just any ordinary lad, but something very special. She knows she must try to save him.

Captive of the Darkness by Kasper Beaumont is up for sale via Amazon.
The book was published on 14 December 2019.

Book review: Merry Gentry series by Laurell K Hamilton -Romance, Faeries

3/9/2019

0 Comments

Merry Gentry Series blurb:
Note: this series is for reader 18 years and over
Laurell K. Hamilton's bestselling series of novels featuring Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, established her as one of the hottest new writers of dark fantasy and erotic horror. Now, in a thrilling adventure of unbridled imagination, Hamilton turns her talents to the glittering, myth-drenched lands of Faerie and brings them brilliantly into the postmodern age. Enter a thrilling, sensual world as threatening as it is beautiful, replete with the titanic passions of immortal beings once worshipped as gods or demons. Full of earthly pleasures and dazzling magic, Laurell K. Hamilton's A Kiss of Shadows will hold you under its hypnotic spell.

My review:
I really enjoyed this series and would give all the books 5 stars except the final book A Shiver of Light, I would give this 4 stars.
The series is the first in this genre I had read and it hit all the marks for me:

Independent young woman who is very capable of defending herself.
Not at first what she seems. Merry is a detective who solves crimes of the paranormal kind.
Multi-layered characters (well mostly, as the series go along you suspect some of them are just there for the sex LOL)
Gorgeous faerie men and more than one
New-to-me world building and faerie-type characters
Conflict and battles
Magic

Overall, I found it to be well-written and an enjoyable series to read.
I did find the last book dragged and could have been punchier. I suspect that was Laurell K Hamilton's loss of interest. Can't really say much about the last one without giving things away, but there was less in the romance department for obvious reasons. I do wish now that they are finished that she had more of an emotional connection with the character she claimed as her greatest love. Merry did spend a fair bit of time rescuing and caring for him but I didn't feel that she had the strongest connection to him out of all the male prospects. There certainly were some great guys in the mix. Overall I loved this series and look forward to re-reading them.
I recommend you take a look.

Review of Cherry Pickers sci-fi by Bonnie Milani @homeworldnovel #amreading #scifi

5/12/2017

My review of Cherry Pickers: On the women's penal colony of Sisyphus, 17 year old Nikki has a one-track mind and that is to get her gun licence to impress her mother. The only way to do this is to lure a man from a passing space ship, to pick her cherry. Not quite a romantic coming of age, but a promising synopsis for a speculative fiction novel. Being a penal colony, it's a kill-or-be-killed world, in which having just a machete is really not conducive to survival.

An interesting concept from author Bonnie Milani, is the house bugs, AKA giant hairy spiders, which can be quite the docile type, but can also be aggressive and murderous. There is the whole Black Widow, death-after-mating thing going on here, so it's no wonder there aren't many guys hanging around. Another Sissy planet nasty is the man-eating Nosher plant with its deadly tendrils.
The most enjoyable character for me was Sam, the spider who lives with Nikki, kinda like an eight-legged creepy-looking brother type. Sam is actually really sweet, loyal and noble. He is the only person who is nice to Nikki in the whole story. Unfortunately his future is pretty bleak, with him likely to be mated and eaten in the near future.
The story begins with Nikki searching the house for the book of Grimms, the only book on the entire planet. I didn't really get hooked in by this beginning and ended up having to re-read the first chapter to take in all the alien world-building. There is plenty of information at the start as Milani draws you into her world. Once I got into the story, I found it well-paced and enjoyable. Other interesting concepts included the click speech of the house bugs and the chron implant, which was mentioned briefly. There is action aplenty and a few surprises to keep you guessing. I did find it a little tricky to figure out who was a human and who was a spider, as the personalities seem rather similar. On the whole, I enjoyed Cherry Pickers and would recommend it to new adult readers.
I bought this book on Amazon and this is my honest opinion of the novel.
