This is a really good book for learning compassion and rescue of animals. I was really impressed with the authors style and the way in which the story is written. There was a very valuable lesson taught and this book is very inspirational. I just wish my children were young enough for this book as I would definitely get them to read this. I really would recommend this book for a child about 8-9. I would like to read more from this author as well in future.

I love falling back to my go to genre. Romance is my favorite genre and this was just what the doctor ordered. I like how the lead is complex. I love how the characters compliment one another and how the story is unfolded. I really like how it has a link to music. There is always a bit of the unseen when there is a bit of the character built on lies but it all works out in the end and that is what had me on the edge of my seat. I just couldn’t put this book down to see how it would unfold. I will definitely read more from this author in future.

This is the first book by this author I have read and it was not disappointing. I have to admit it was not my usual go to genre but I did get drawn into the world created by this author. The story is well written and the world that the author created is unique. I was at the edge of my chair as I got deeper and deeper into the story. There was a just enough drama to draw me into the story and I liked how there was a bit of complexity to the story with the djinn not being what was expected.

I like finding new authors. This is the first book by this author I have read and although not my usual genre I was not let down. It is a book for mature audiences so be warned. I found that the author had created a very unique world and really brought the characters to life. I really felt as though I was right in the midst of the drama.

I did find some of the subject matter a little hard to read but I give credit where credit is due as even with the subject matter it was not off putting. I am more than willing to read more from this author as well as the series. I just also want to just remind every one once again that it is a mature audience book.

I really haven’t read this series in order but that hasn’t effected my enjoyment of it. I find this author to be quite refreshing. I really do enjoy stepping out of my comfort genre. I really enjoy being amerced in the Irish days of old.

I enjoyed getting to have more of a glimpse into Orlagh’s life again. I found that the drama as it unfolded to keep me glued to the pages. I really found myself empathizing with Declan as the story began. I really was glad that Orlagh wasn’t alone and that her grandson was still alive. I found that as the story progressed that the drama was just enough and the flow of the book made it so I just couldn’t put it down. I look forward to reading more from this author and more from this series.

Yet another trip in the the Satan’s MC world and I was not let down. I really enjoy this series and it was even better being able to listen as I went about my daily tasks. Audio books bring a whole new depth to the book and the different narrators add to that. I really enjoyed the point of view format and the mix of a male and female narrator.

There is just the right amount of drama and action mixed in with the romance to balance it out. I find that the author is able to draw the backstory around and bring the characters to life.

I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to explain to their child that they are adopted. The book has a very creative and unique style and the characters are very natural.

This is just a great example of how the adopted child might feel and what questions maybe on their minds. It can be a difficult conversation to have for parents and I feel that this book maybe just an easier or creative way to try and have the talk.
