Review: Magick Weaved on a Samhain Eve by V.J Chisholm

Reviewer: Bex
V.J Chisholm's concept for her novella, Magick Weaved on a Samhain Eve, is sexy and pretty sassy. The build up to the action, as it were, is fairly well developed, this is a novella after all. The character Alexia is quickly established and we get a clear sense of her character.

The events move very quickly up the the pinnacle of the novella, and when we get there unfortunately the story is pretty much over. Considering the very sexy nature of this novella - the concept and the build up - what was somewhat frustrating was that V.J Chisholm didn't fully follow through.

The main plot leads us to expect one hot amazing night, yet 'The Night' was lacking. Please do not misunderstand, for a novella of this caliber it's not necessary to heavy and graphic love scenes, yet the characters didn't have enough depth to be able to support itself fully. Plus, considering the descriptive build up in the novella, I was let wanting more.

Magick Weaved on a Samhain Eve has great potential to be so much more; it would make a superb book where the characters could be fully explored and the reader left satisfied, especially because I really liked V.J Chisholm's descriptive narrative. Overall, I enjoyed it, but I did expect so much more.

Goodreads Synopsis

Review: Embraced (Enduring Kiss #4) - C.E. Black

Embraced by C.E. Black Ann's rating: 5 of 5 stars Read as a standalone. This is a fantastic book. It is an easy read but don’t start reading it too late at night or you will probably end up with a book hangover. It is very difficult to put down. Sean is a lost wolf. The woman he loves has married another man, and he is heartbroken. To relieve his suffering, he decides to get out of town and have a drink or two, then he meets Sarah. Sarah is a business owner of a bakery called Decadent Delights and her life seems to be going just the way she wants…until she meets Sean at the bar. Instantly there is an overwhelming attraction and she takes him home with her. Hot animalistic sex occurs (pun intended since Sean is a werewolf). But Sean leaves after one night. He can’t stay because Sarah is human and humans don’t mate with wolves. Two months later, Sarah has a major surprise and goes looking for Sean. And then the fun really begins. This story has sorrow, angst, anger but als...

Tour Review, Post & Giveaway: Shudder - Samantha Durante

Reviewer: Bex Rating: 4 out of 5 Fairies Shudder is a strong follow on from Stitch, a book that I thoroughly enjoyed. What I particular enjoyed and thought that the author managed extremely well was the multiple viewpoints that she built in with the narrative. Not only did this allow us extra insight into the characters, but also the varying points of views added lovely depth to the novel. Samantha Durante's craft has improved and developed since book one. On the whole, her writing is tighter and flows that much easier. There were still a few moments within the dialogue that I felt was a little awkward, yet others could easily disagree. I’m just a stickler and very particular with dialogue. Yet again, there’s a fabulous twist that Durante mastered with skill and ease. This one wasn’t quite as much as a shocker as Stitch, but it still successfully made me do a double take just to be certain. Just the same as Stitch, Shudder left me ready and most definitely eager for t...
