Painter of the Damned (Painted Souls, #2)Painter of the Damned by Rob Samborn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I had a hard time believing that this book would be better than the first since it was so amazing, but Painter of the Damned was absolutely stunning! I was engrossed in this book from the very first page to the very end.

Nick and Julia leave Venice with hopes of returning to a somewhat normal life after their terrifying ordeal called their honeymoon. With peace of mind setting in as they start heading home, they are apprehended before they can truly start their journey. They find out the person behind their capture is Salvatore, their worst nightmare. Salvatore intends to use Nick to obtain an all-knowing powerful book. Julia tries to help keep her husband sane in midst of this horrendous experience, but is her love enough to keep him tied to this world?

I can’t recommend this series enough! The author has woven an intricate blend of history and other worldly things that command your attention to the last word. You won’t be disappointed picking this up!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This sci-fi book is incredibly unique and though it took me a little bit to get into it, I enjoyed it. The flow of the story can be a little bumpy at times, but it was a great read overall. I loved the characters! Nialla and Bishr were truly fascinating, and even though this is a futuristic read it remains relatable. They explore their independence, enjoy life, and jump wormholes…but they end up making a discovery that could mean big changes. This was different from most sci-fi that I have read, and I can’t wait to see what the next book will bring. I highly recommend picking this up for an eccentric time-traveling adventure!

This was a very heartwarming, funny, and emotional read for me. I haven’t read anything from this author before, but I will be picking up other books from her because this was uplifting.

She finds herself alone more and more as the twins get older, and after they move out, she begins discovering herself again. Will the new changes push her back into her shell, or will she realize that she is more than her duty as a mother and widow?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book so much! Naomi Valkyrie has created yet another mesmerizing story, and I just can’t get enough of it. This paranormal romance is filled with steamy vampires, magic, and plenty of action.

Quinnlan has three days to take a mate, or he goes back to purgatory forever. When Quinnlan finds Garrett bleeding out, he has a choice to save him or let him die. If he chooses Garrett and gets rejected, he risks heading back to the one place he doesn’t want to go. Can he really let him die, or will he take the chance for true love?

Weep, Woman, WeepWeep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Weep, Woman, Weep was the second book I have read by this author, and I am not disappointed in any way. Maria DeBlassie knows how to grab you in the beginning and take you on a whirlwind adventure throughout her short stories, and I love it!

La Llorona is a spirit that is said to pull women to their deaths in the river, and no one knows how to stop her. The only line of defense they have is to ignore their sorrows and stay away from the river at night. Mercy and her best friend Sherry decide they will break their generational trauma once and for all, but after Sherry becomes inconsolable, the Weeping Woman comes for them. Mercy somehow makes it out alive, alone, but La Llorona is deeply unsettled and wants Mercy’s soul for no one should escape her deadly grasp. Will Mercy be able to break the trauma that holds over their community, or will the river woman finally get what she wants?

I love that Mercy finds her way through plant medicine, as I love anything with witchy vibes and this sure had a ton! I can’t wait to see what the author has in store next. Weep, Woman, Weep is a shorter read but it will still take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I highly recommend picking this one up!

Dia’s Lure was the first book that I read in the series, but I’ll absolutely be going back to read the first two now. This adventure was amazing! Dia has been trying to keep herself and her family safe, but her tribe ends up being slaughtered. Dia herself is captured and discovers she is being held with her ex-lover, Carver. She is faced with all of the hurtful past again and wants to escape immediately. Carver knows he is far from perfect and has tried his entire life to right his wrongs, but seeing Dia again throws gas on his fire of guilt. Milos is an unexpected third in this triangle, but they all need to rely on each other to survive. Can they do it, or will guilt and distress cause them to make a fatal error?

Catherine Peace is a marvelous author! I cannot believe I’ve never read any of her books before. I’ll be picking up the rest of this series and seeing what other adventures she has to offer. I highly recommend picking up Dia’s Lure!

This is literally one of my very favorite series I have ever read! It is by far my favorite series of the year, and that is quite a big accomplishment in my eyes. Sometimes it is difficult to get back in the feel for the next book in the series, but Kay L. Moody pulled it off flawlessly.

She believes she is fighting on the right side of this war, but after finding out why mortals want Faerie, she has a harder and harder time staying on that side. She is split down the middle between her own kind and the kind that she loves.

They both think the other deserves more and takes a bit of intervention to help them see the truth.
