A Cold Day in Hell (Life is Hell #5)A Cold Day in Hell by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I continue to find this author to be such a unique and wonderful voice within the paranormal genre. This series has been just such a wonderful journey and I LOVED this latest installment. Each character is so unique. The stories weave together beautifully but can be read as standalone without much problem. However with the brilliance from this author you will want to read them all. ASAP!

I really enjoy this author and love the culture exposure I get when reading about sports I’m not quite as familiar with. Another great read from start to finish, I’ve found this author to be reliable for a good book, relatable characters, steady pacing, and all around delightful time spent. Added bonus if you enjoy a good contemporary piece with some sports thrown in. Pick it up – you won’t regret it.

Speechless. Just speechless. I don’t know how the author ties it. Makes me so mad to be left standing without the second piece of the story and loving her all the more for it. Emotional and raw, this book – no words. I’m going to be reading this over and over until Part Two arrives. Major book hangover!

Reis as a witty way with words and this book is no exception. Somehow I missed the second book of this series – still trying to figure out how that happened – and I jumped into this third installment eagerly. I didn’t feel I was at a loss picking up where I did however I know there were plot points I didn’t appreciate as much having missed book two. That said this book was a fun romp with fantasy creatures and gods. I thoroughly enjoy the author’s storytelling and look forward to picking up the book I missed.

Holmes continues this series in the way in which I expect – beautiful detailed history that comes to life in every page. If you are a fan of expertly written history, particularly ancient Egyptian lore, Holmes’s series is an immediate must read. Each story stands well on its own but for full enjoyment of character development I would recommend reading in series order. Another stellar work.

Holy cow! This book – I couldn’t put it down. Detwiler does an amazing job crawling into the mind of the arsonist and drawing you in with her. I always enjoy when a thriller is written in first person; that is to say, when it is done well it is very effective. It forces the reader to experience the journey first hand. And boy did the author ever deliver a riveting read. I couldn’t put it down once I started. This is the perfect escape for thrill seekers. Loved every single page.

The author continues to bring just the right amount of suspense and romance in this latest installment of this page turning series. Each book can be read as a stand-alone but does have characters that are discussed in more than one part of the series. But it does not keep the reader from following the plot or enjoying the book. Dunn kept me glued to my seat and I couldn’t put this quick read down until I had finished the whole thing. Just another fantastic book. Definitely recommend.
