Her Dark Love by Isra Sravenheart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This series keeps captivating my interest. The author has done a very commendable job taking tropes and genres we have become accustomed to and making them filter through a new lens. For best appreciation, I do recommend you read the books in series order to truly grasp the character development. That said, this book can be read on its own. Fantasy lovers should enjoy the imagery and character development. Another satisfying afternoon read.

Avenging Devil Part 2: Satan’s Devils MC San Diego by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I. Just. Can’t. Even.
I don’t know how the author does it. I don’t like cliff hangers – basically because I don’t like waiting to read more. And it killed me to wait for this book after part one. But let me just say – this was worth every agonizing moment I didn’t have this book in my hands. The MC universe doesn’t get recognized for the depth it holds and Mellett is a master at bringing so many characters to page that you feel like you know or definitely wish could meet. Just an amazing story. Beautifully written. Just. Wow.
