Don't Know What to call this...

Queen of Zazzau by J. S. Emuakpor is one of those books that I did not quite know what to do with because the premise intrigued me. I thought it would take place somewhere in Africa or around that area, but my problem is that I have no clue if the world was supposed to be real or fictional. I had no evidence if the story was supposed to be historical or made up. I ended up DNFing at 31% on my Kindle because after a specific character's death I could not give a damn about the characters. The first 10% of what I read was action (like she was given a quest in the first chapter). However, it petered off rather quickly and left me wondering with what the heck I was reading and thinking oh god how am I going to make it to chapter fifty. I made it to section 13, and that is when the book lost all meaning for me, and I was going to cry if I had to read another chapter.
Things I liked about the book was the whole War God, and the main character is the reason the world is going to end in war.
Warning: Do not read if you are a prude like me or cannot handle vivid sex scenes. If you can manage that kind of thing, then you will love this book. The sex scenes were often and so vivid they had me blushing and wondering what the heck I was reading.
1/5 stars

Werewolf Pleased

Night of the Hidden Fang by T. James Logan is an incredible book. I fell in love with the characters and the world from the very first page. It is one of those books that does not disappoint, and if you pay attention to the small details, you will be able to figure things out before the main character does.
I loved the premise around the book, and it is sort of like a werewolf apocalypse, so if you are into that kind of thing, then this is the novel for you.
I would highly recommend this book.
5/5 stars.

Mixed up Fairytales

Snow White Learns Witchcraft: Stories and Poems by Theodora Goss is a love-hate book for me. I love the stories, but I wished there was more to the stories. I kept feeling like the stories were incomplete, but I loved all the characters. It's complicated.

4.5/5 stars.

Horror or Humor?

Selected Stories: Horror and Dark Fantasy by Kevin J. Anderson is not what I would call horror. Trust me I cannot read horror stories and I blitzed through these. They were most definitely dark, but it's also witty. If you are into a quick read with dark humor than this is the book for you.

5/5 stars

Demons Lie or Humans?

Demons Lie by Sherry Ficklin is an adorable read. I want to wrap Ben up in a bubble sheet and tissue paper before putting him in a box and placing him high on a shelf. The author can have him back when she agrees to not kill him. Ugh, I fell in love with the characters the moment I met them especially Ben. I will not spoil it, but you must read this book to understand what I mean about a tasteful way of doing a sex scene between characters. I laughed so hard over Aria's discomfort. My only criticism is that there was a perfect opportunity to use the condoms at the beginning of the story and the author never took it. I could not put it down.

5/5 stars.

Nighthawks by Jeremy Flagg

Nighthawks by Jeremy Flagg is a wicked, wicked book. One good guy tries to stop the evil from coming and ends up creating it instead. There are more twists and turns in this book than a roller coaster. I did not want to put this book down. Definitely, recommend this book.

5/5 stars.

Short, but Incredible

The Blood of Four Gods and Other Stories by Jamie Lackey is phenomenal. I fell in love with all of the stories and characters. It's a quick read that does not disappoint magic fans or lovers of mythology. Definitely one for the bookshelf.

5/5 stars.

Faery Disappointing

Daughter of Light and Shadow by Anna McKerrow sounded terrific with a Faery King and witches. However, it took 40% of the book to reach the point where Faye meets him, and it was so full of disappointment for me. I was hoping for mischievous faeries, but yet again it is not until near the end of the book that you get some mischief. As for the witches, I was hoping for more magic or something. Maybe that's my problem: I expected too much with this book.

However, if you love erotica, this book is for you. It was mostly one awkward sex scene after the next. Why do authors think putting moist in a sex scene is going to work? There were quite a few moists and ripe being used in the sex scenes.

I'm feeling generous 3/5 stars.
