Release Day Review & Giveaway: Releasing the Wolf (Eye of the Storm #1) by Dianna Hardy

Releasing the Wolf by Dianna Hardy is a passionate paranormal fantasy with an effective build of suspense, drama and sexual tension. It was immediately obvious after reading the first few pages that Releasing the Wolf was going to be a hot read; I just didn't realise how hot and spicy it would be! There are an array of wonderfully crafted and well-developed characters ranging from the independent Lydia to the multitude of sexy men that come into her life. Did I mention how god damn hot they are! Hardy has created an interesting concept for her werewolf book. Whilst it follows several conventions that we'd expect from a shifter book, she has successfully manged to make Releasing the Wolf an original and unique read. The ending is set up beautifully for the next book, one that I'll be clambering to get my hands on.   Goodreads Synopsis Lydia Martin has always had dreams, the weirdest and hottest of them all involving a faceless, muscle-bound man that speaks l

Review: Dead Embers (Valkyrie #2) by TG Ayer

Dead Embers picks up immediately from where Dead Radiance finished.  And trust me it was heart wrenching!  This book takes a darker turn than book one and it makes the book.  The dark undertone takes nothing away, but gives everything to the plot.  This book takes you further into the world of Norse Mythology and takes you on a thrilling dark twisty ride that will leave you breathless and on the edge of your seat.    The romantic parts of the relationship are now flowing a bit easier and are more believable.  This is a great follow up to book one!  This book is full of emotion and action that anybody who likes books based in mythology will love!  A Solid 5 stars! Goodreads Synopsis Valkyrie-in-training Bryn Halbrook just can't catch a break. With her boyfriend stuck in Hel and the taunting laughter of Loki still ringing in her ears, she struggles to concentrate on her training and duties in Odin's realm. The last thing she expects or wants is more adventure—but

Review: Cascades of Moonlight by Amy K. McClung

Reviewer: Bex Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Fairies The opening of Cascades of Moonlight by Amy K. McClung immediately piqued my interest. This is not simply because I love shifter books, but I really liked the concept for Cascades of Moonlight. The idea that a girl has to cope with theses changes by herself intrigued me. Initially, I warmed to Parker's character. I liked her resolve and her focus. With the first introduction of Quinn, I enjoyed their relationship interactions and the range of plot twists that were hard to second guess. This really enabled me to continue enjoying reading this book. However, my attitude toward Parker did change somewhat as the book progressed. In the end, her reactions irritated me a little; they certainly frustrated me. Although, it could be easily interpreted that Amy K. McClung has therefore created a very realistic teenager! At times the storyline progressed at an unrealistic pace. Events or responses would happen that were a little too coincid
