Review: Born of Fury (The League #7) – Sherrilyn Kenyon

Review: Born of Fury (The League #7) – Sherrilyn Kenyon

Born of Fury totally lived up to my expectations after reading the other The League stories! These crazy alien assassins and their mates truly made the story excellent! My Born of Fury review: Born of Fury is quite the brick of a book, but what a beautiful brick it is! I love the characters in The League series, they are aliens, living in a far-away galaxy, in a far-away future. And the male main characters are all warriors, fighting against a corrupt government organization of professional killer. However, they also have their families and loved ones to take care of, and they see their brothers-in-arms as true family as well. Hauk has always been treated as a lesser male by […]

Review: Magic Slays – Ilona Andrews

Review: Magic Slays – Ilona Andrews

Holy cliffhanger! And what an amazing story Magic Slays was! I love learning more about Kate. Curran is so great I want to purr when he arrives on the page! My Magic Slays review: In Magic Slays, Kate has started her own PI agency, and the first case she and Andrea got was a very strange one, only to be followed by one that was possibly even stranger. The danger was lurking everywhere, and the magic played havoc on Kate’s senses as she had to figure out how wards could completely disappear, both on her crime scene and closer to town. There are many things making these jobs difficult, but as usual, Kate has her eye on the prize – […]

The Sunday Post #32 Jet-lag

The Sunday Post #32 Jet-lag

The Sunday Post #32 – Weekly Wrap-up Welcome to my Sunday Post. Thank you to Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. It is the perfect opportunity to share what happened here on my own blog, as well as some of the happenings elsewhere in the Blogosphere. I arrived back from Dallas and an intense and fun week at RT15 on Monday evening. It’s taken me more or less the whole week to feel like I’m in the right time zone, I’m just so tired! Especially because I had to go to work on Tuesday morning… luckily my students were happy to see me again, and they were very nice, quiet and hard-working. This week’s posts: […]

Review: The Angel – Tiffany Reisz

Review: The Angel – Tiffany Reisz

The Angel continues to show the strange world in which Nora evolves, surrounded by both friends and enemies. My The Angel review: One of the things I really loved in The Angel is that while Søren and Nora can still be seen as the main characters of the story, along with Kingsley, I also got to spend a lot of time with Michael and Griffin in this instalment. Michael was Nora’s angel in The Siren, and seeing him gain confidence and find love was nothing short of amazing. Once more, I was amazed at Ms. Reisz’s beautiful prose, because even when I was reading stuff that made me uncomfortable, I was frantically reading, pushing the ‘next page’ button on my […]

Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts #16

Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts #16

Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts #16 Welcome to Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts, an original weekly meme hosted here at (un)Conventional Bookviews. So many of the books I read have food or drinks in them, some I’d love to try, and others I’d never ever want to taste… and I thought it could be interesting and fun to share some food and / or drink quotes…  If you want to participate, you can grab my logo if you’d like, or you can make your own, but please link back to me in your own post. The idea of Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts is to share a quote with food or drinks that showed up in a recent read, as well […]

Review: Nowhere But Here – Katie McGarry

Review: Nowhere But Here – Katie McGarry

Nowhere But Here was like a double-hit: one to the gut, and one to the heart. My Nowhere But Here review: I’m not sure I’ll be able to explain what I loved the most in Nowhere But Here, the characters were amazing, both Emily and Oz were well fleshed out, and their parents were very much present in their lives. Very different parents, though – Emily grew up with her mother and her adoptive father, not knowing much about her biological father apart from the fact that he was high up in a motorcycle club. All Oz wanted was to be a part of that same motorcycle club, and he didn’t have much to do before he would finally be […]

Review: Magic Bleeds – Ilona Andrews

Review: Magic Bleeds – Ilona Andrews

Magic Bleeds features many fights and plenty of heartache and I completely and utterly loved it all! My Magic Bleeds review: Kate Daniels is one of the best kick-ass heroines I’ve had the pleasure to read, and she confirmed this in Magic Bleeds! She is strong, dedicated, loyal and fierce. She is also a woman who would love to be a part of something bigger, have someone to love, and someone who loves her – just for her. Of course Saiman is making life difficult for Kate, just because he wants to make life difficult for Curran, but Kate outsmarts Saiman this time, and the hotness that ensues made my kindle fume, at least I think so, because my glasses […]
