Cursed Beauty by Stacey O'Neale

 Thank you NetGalley and Phoenix Reign Publishing for allowing me to read a copy in exchange for an honest review.

And a huge thank you to Stacey O'Neale for writing this book. I was hooked from the first page because curses, witches, a sleeping prince, forbidden forest, wolf leader like hello.

I loved this book so much and will definitely be buying a copy of this book. It does not disappoint if you like fairytale retellings, gender reversed Sleeping Beauty, or witches.

I finished this book in a hour because I needed to know what happened.

This satisfied my fairytale loving heart.

Go get a copy for yourself.

Anatomy: A Love Story by Dana Schwartz

 Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to review a copy in exchange for a honest review.

This is not a love story. There is no romance it is all a lie. If you are reading this book for romance then don't, but if you are one of those people who don't mind little to no romance then this is the book for you.

I'm one of those people who was mislead by the title and the summary that it would be a romance. Oh my word, I was bored out of my skull reading this book and speed read it just to get it over with (hence why it took little time to read it).

Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves by Meg Long

 Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.

And another Wednesday Books that makes me think I might give them another shot and it will be a five star book.

Sadly, this is not the case with this book. Sena gives me as much emotion as a dead fish because it is not until the last two chapters where I start to feel something for the book because I thought the wolf was going to die and Sena was actually caring about somebody else for once.

Oh, and in case you miss it it will be told to you about five hundred times that her moms died in the race and everyone abandoned Sena. She is all alone (poor baby) she had an aunt who was not an aunt who tried to help her and gave her a roof over her head even though the poor aunt had many problems.

Also, there is a lot of time spent on the fights and wolves fighting each other, but all Sena cares about is money and getting off the planet. Like I lost respect for Sena with this because you have to be a heartless bitch to watch animals in a cage and you have the chance to heal them and help but all you have to do is complain that it reminds you of the race that made you lose your moms (did I forget to mention that this gets mentioned a lot because I think half the book is her lamenting about the race killing her moms. Also, what is this magical planet where two women can get pregnant without any sperm? There is literally no mention of a sperm donor or Sena wondering who else helped bring her to the world like what kind of world is this?).

I read this book because wolves (who doesn't love them?) but I feel like the book did an injustice to them because for a book title Cold the Night, Fast the Wolves (or if you are like me and could never remember which order it went Night Wolves) it does not spend a lot of time on wolves. I would much rather learn more about the wolves and vonenwolves than about Sena losing her moms. I'm sorry but it gets old really quick and I was ready to DNF this book so many times, but I persevered because some people claimed it was the best book they ever read and others told me it gets better.

People died and Sena had little emotion over someone who fought tooth and nail to make sure she was okay but nope lets turn it all back to Sena and how everyone dies around her because her moms died in the race and she's been struck with bad luck and decisions ever since (if you are annoyed I am only preparing you for the book because this happens a lot).

I wanted to love this book but excluding the last two chapters it felt like kissing a dead fish.

A Christmas Promise by Abby Everheart

  I received a copy of A Christmas Promise by Abby Everheart from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you so much to Abby for writing this darling book. It is an absolute delight, heartfelt, and feels like the making of a Hallmark movie.

You will root for the characters as they navigate through their past hoping to find a better future, and you will definitely be rooting for Juniper that lovable ornament stealing dog to cause as much drama as possible. And if that is not enough drama then do not fear Riley will have you covered because he is the assistant who will put a smile on your face with his antics.

Chris and May's first meeting is so freaking adorable and it is a great precedent for what their characters are going to be like and how they grow as people. My heart is melting into a pile of goo just thinking about those two.

The thing I love the most is that all the characters have issues and it is not just the main characters and the main characters actually try to help the side characters. It is refreshing.

My only complaint is that the person behind the whole sabotage was obvious from the moment we are introduced. I would have liked it to be a little more whodunnit, but for what it is the book is (insert adjective).

All the Tommys in the World by Javier Gombinsky

 Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to review a copy of All the Tommys in the World by Javier Gombinsky.

This book gave me chills and is an excellent zombie thriller book. I'm not a huge horror fan and this is stepping out of my comfort zone and I am glad that I did.

4 out of 5 stars.

The Fallen Guardian by Anthony Chaveleh

 Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to review a copy of The Fallen Guardian by Anthony Chaveleh.

To be honest, I picked this book because dragons. I love books with dragons in them, unfortunately, I never made it past the prologue because between the map, pronunciations, and the massive info dump in the beginning it felt like my brain was going to be fried.

If you love info dumps more than dragons read this book, if you love dragons more than info dumps than maybe skip something at the beginning.

the Death Reaper by Freya Daree

 Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read a copy of The Death Reaper in exchange for an honest review.

It's an interesting story, but seeing as how I read it over a week ago and cannot recall a single detail except it was interesting. It was not memorable to me (I even read the blurb again as a refresher).

Maybe you will have better luck than I did because this is totally a me thing and has nothing to do with the author.

3 out of five stars.
