I’m reviewing Flying Blind by Deborah Cooke at Smexy Books

Zoë Sorensson is perfectly normal, except she's been told she's destined for great things. Zoë's the one female dragon shapeshifter of her kind. But Zoë is at the bottom of the class when it comes to being Pyr and her powers are AWOL, so she's sent to a Pyr boot camp.
Zoë quickly realizes that she has to master her powers yesterday, because the Pyr are in danger and boot camp is a trap. The Mages want to eliminate all shifters and the Pyr are next in line-unless Zoë and her friends can work together and save their own kind.(Goodreads)

Zoe is your average teenage girl, concerned with school and boys but she also has an added stress. She is the first female dragon shifter to be born in centuries, destined to become the Wyvern. But Zoe’s powers aren’t manifesting and since there is no ‘how to’ manual, Zoe isn’t sure what to do. When she accidentally reveals her powers at school in defense of a friend, her parents send her to boot camp in hopes it will provide Zoe with the skills she needs to claim her destiny. When Zoe arrives at boot camp, she and other young dragon shifters are given clues to solve in order to win an impressive prize. These clues lead them to a remote cabin where the six of them begin to realize that something is terribly wrong. Their fathers are missing and unless Zoe can unlock her powers, the Pyr may cease to exist.

I’m reviewing Shalador’s Lady by Anne Bishop at Smexy Books

 

 

Favorite Quote: “It is better to break you own heart then to break your honor.”

Shalador's Lady by Anne Bishop is the 8th book in her Black Jewels series. It is also the sequel to her 7th book, The Shadow Queen. I adore the Black Jewels series. A deliciously dark and traumatic series that celebrates the triumph of evil. Unequivocal world building sustained by dramatic and inspiring characters has gained this series it’s own keeper shelf. I would not recommend reading these out of order. The arc carries over and feeds itself through each book.

In Shalador’s Lady we see Lady Cassidy growing into herself and slowing bringing life back to a land and the people of Dena Nehale; destroyed by the previous Queens. When an enemy from Cassie’s past returns to try and once again to stake a claim on Cassie’s court, Cassie will have to fight for the land, the people, and her love to survive.

Smexy Books Review-Cruel Enchantment (Dark Magical Series #2) by Anya Bast

Favorite Quote:” How many times had he planned her death? How many weapons now hung in his forge that he’d crafted with the intention of using them on her? Mercy? He’d thought he had none for her.”

Danger Will Robinson!!! This does contain some light spoilers.

To help her race from being eradicated, Emmaline Gallagher must retrieve an object of fae power from a locked ancient box. Only Aeric O'Malley has the forging skills to create a key. But will their tumultuous past stand in the way?
Cruel Enchantment is an dark, exhilarating, sensual delight. Once again we are submerged into the beautiful devious world of the Seelie and Unseelie courts.  Well-plotted and cast with characters that are strong and personable, Cruel Enchantment is filled with tense suspense, delicious betrayal, and dangerous antagonists. A fascinating read that captured me at page one.

In Cruel Enchantment, we are introduced to Emmaline Gallagher of the Seelie Court. Emmaline spent her younger years as the most feared assassin of the Summer Queen. When she escapes the great sweep that imprisoned the courts and most fae in Piefferberg, she walked away from her past life and began to work with the HFF. Her mission? To convince Aeric O'Malley, the Blacksmith, to forge a magical key that will open an ancient box containing a fae artifact. The Problem? Emmaline killed his fiance and Aeric has vowed revenge. When Emmaline enters Piefferberg, Aeric is lying in wait for her. He ambushes her and spirits her off to his home.

Emmaline’s mission must be completed but Aeric has dreamed of having her in his power for hundreds of years and nothing will convince him to set her free. As Emmaline and Aeric begin their battle, striking blows with words as sharp as the finest crafted blade, you hear their memories and see that both were victims of extremely sadistic and selfish people. When old and new feelings emerge between them, Aeric and Emmaline must look to the past if they are ever to have a future. But Aeric isn’t the only one who wants Emmaline dead. Most of the Unseelie court has suffered in some way due to her dubious past and the Summer Queen wants her assassin back.

My New Book Review Is At Smexy Books-The Cost Of Love by Drue Allen

Todays review is The Cost Of Love by Drue Allen

Favorite quote: “If I’m staring, it’s at that ancient Glock. Why not just carry around a rock to whack people with?”

My New Book Review Is At Smexy Books-Labyrinth by Kat Richardson

Todays's review is Labyrinth (A Greywalker Novel #5) By Kat Richardson 

Harper Blaine is a Greywalker. Having spent time in London, Harper has gained new powers. Before she can figure them out though, she arrives home to find her employer is missing and the man who killed her has himself been murdered. Harper needs to find her murderer's ghost for she believes he holds the clues to finding her father. But she soon finds herself entangled in a madman's plans to control the grey. Through her. The only way to save herself is to go into the grey, but with her increasing powers she fears she may not be able to come back.

Kat Richardson's Greywalker series is a dynamic investigative urban fantasy saga pitting ghosts, vampires, and other paranormal entities against Harper Blaine-P.I. extraordinaire. Dark and fluid, the storyline flows through you; rather like slipping through the grey yourself. Full of suspense, Ms Richardson manipulates the storyline like a maze-leaving you to follow a twisting path to discover the truth in the center. But even if you find the center...you still have to get out. This series isn't an "in your face" action story but a more subtle complex mystery with a dark paranormal twist. Labyrinth, the fifth in the series, is the catalyst for all that has transpired in the last four books.
