My Review!

Ryan is back in the fourth installment of this page-turning, favorite new YA Vampire series and the stakes have never been higher!


Followers of my reviews know that I am all about the NO SPOILERS in reviews, so by book 4 it gets a little tricky but I can say that this book literally ripped my heart out, stomped on it a few times, and then handed it back to me in pieces. At times I literally find myself questioning why I am torturing myself like this but the answer is these books are just so damn good I can't help it.

Book 5 is at least available for pre-order but as I used to say all the time about True Blood - WAITING SUCKS!

As I have said before, If you love vampires, in particular books such as the Vampire Academy, then you should pick this up. Well actually you should pick up book 1 first so that this one makes sense, and as the eBook is FREE right now on all platforms you really have nothing to lose!

Another easy 5 stars from me and this is 100% Melanie's Muses Certified!

New Recommended Release - The Siren Saves The Billionaire by Kristen Painter!

4/6/2021

Comments

 
Kristen Painter is back with her awesome Nocturne Falls series where every day is Halloween and the Supernaturals can hide in plain sight ...... and book 13 brings us a Mermaid! This was another awesome 5 star read from me! 
​
  If you haven't read any of the Nocturne Falls series - Book 1 is FREE! You don't NEED to read them in order but I think they are better if you do.  The links to ALL the books, including the short stories, are below.

​Official Blurb -

​Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the town that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year. The tourists think it's all a show: the vampires, the werewolves, the witches, the occasional gargoyle flying through the sky. But the supernaturals populating the town know better.
Living in Nocturne Falls means being yourself. Fangs, fur, and all.
Custom-aquarium specialist, Undrea Seeley, is supernaturally good at creating made-to-order fish tanks for her customers. Probably because she loves what she does. And because she’s a mermaid. She also loves living in a town where she can be herself. Well, the version of herself everyone thinks she is. But then, who isn’t harboring a secret, right?
Tech billionaire Ethan Edmonds is an open book. Hard not to be when the media follows your every move, something they’ve done pretty much since he made his first million at seventeen by selling an app he’d created. Now he’s sold his biggest company for an even greater profit and he’s ready to disappear a little. At least enough to focus on a project that has nothing to do with money and everything to do with helping people.
But when his self-appointed fiancée decides he needs a majestic centerpiece aquarium in their new home, she has no idea things are about to spring a leak. Ethan has never met a woman like Undrea and is instantly captivated by her free spirit and fun-loving ways.
Undrea understands his attraction to her, however. It’s driven by magic she can’t control, but she’s still determined not to harpoon his relationship, despite her growing feelings for him. Then she realizes there’s something fishy going on and it seems Undrea’s not the only one hiding her true identity.
Saving Ethan from the dark forces out to get him could mean revealing the truth she’s been trying to hide. But will that secret sink them both or will she sacrifice herself to protect the man she fallen in love with?
PLUS - The Jayne Frost Spin-Off novels (that do have a little crossover with the main Nocturne Falls series) are available to read for FREE right now with your Kindle Unlimited Subscription! ​

Official Blurb

The Stolen Empire series is a decadent journey through the eras of Russia's most scandalous queens, Catherine the Great and Empress Elizabeth. Beginning with the humble origins of young Sophie—the girl destined to become Catherine—and culminating with her coronation, this series offers a fanciful glimpse inside the life of the dynamic, strong young woman who won the hand of a king, the heart of a nation, and, ultimately, sacrificed her own innocence on the throne of an empire. The trials and tribulations of court left their scars on young Sophie, but she faced down every obstacle with the courage and grace of a queen.


But before Catherine was great, there was Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great, whose claim to the sovereignty of Russia was thwarted at every turn. Passed over time and again, she battled a corrupt council, distant and unhinged relatives, and even her own desires to seize the throne that should have been hers.  Surviving personal tragedies, unimaginable losses, and political sabotage, Elizabeth clawed her way to the top, becoming the first woman to lead the Romanov Empire—but also the one who laid the groundwork for its eventual destruction.


Don’t miss this scandalous series about the tenacious women who rose up to rule in infamy, and, in doing so, changed the fate of Russia forever.
My Review

I LOVE this series.  When I heard they were making "The Great" for Hulu I was excited, because I love this story, but ended up being disappointed because it just wasn't as good as this series.  Seriously for $0.99 for the WHOLE series? You can't go wrong! 

This is an excerpt from my original review of Queen of Someday when it first released in 2014 and I can tell you the ride just kept going, until it ended up full circle.  Amazing!


"Loosely based on the history of Catherine the Great this YA historical novel hooks you from the first page.

Fans of the tv show Reign will devour this series and with good reason. The characters are vibrant and demand you give them attention, the setting is royal and the history is ......... Well there's some history in there ..... But if I wanted accurate I would read a history book. Think more along the lines of the Tudors than a documentary and you won't be disappointed."
