BOOK REVIEW: A KINGDOM OF FLESH AND FIRE by Jennifer L. Armentrout
BOOK REVIEW
BOOK: A KINGDOM OF FLESH AND FIRE
SERIES: Blood and
Ash, Book 2
AUTHOR: Jennifer L.
Armentrout
MY RATING: 5 Hearts
SYNOPSIS:
MY REVIEW:
This review is not going to be as long and detailed as my
review for the first book because of spoilers.
A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire picks up literally right where
From Blood and Ash ended. Poppy has been
lied to her whole life and betrayed by pretty much everyone she knows. The Dark One has succeeded in kidnapping her
and now she is coming to terms with everything that has happened. She does not know what the truth is anymore
and what are lies. She is conflicted by
her feelings for The Dark One, Prince Casteel Da’Neer and is constantly
battling herself and him.
This book does move at a slower pace than the first, but it
is worth it to stick with it and keep reading!
It still has all the action, adventure, violence, gore, romance,
betrayal, mystery and LOTS more secrets!
Some have been revealed and some are still a mystery.
The ending of the book is insane, and I cannot wait to find
out what happens in the third book, The Crown of Gilded Bones. If that book were released already, I would
have devoured it as well. This is one of
my new favorite series!
I give this book 5 Hearts!
BOOK REVIEW: FROM BLOOD AND ASH by Jennifer L. Armentrout
BOOK REVIEW
BOOK: From Blood and
Ash
SERIES: Blood and
Ash, #1
AUTHOR: Jennifer L/
Armentrout
MY RATING: 5 HEARTS
A Maiden…
Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has
never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched.
Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure.
Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards,
fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy
by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.
A Duty…
The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders,
something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has
a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor
bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled
with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she
believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.
A Kingdom…
Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom
is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs
through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer,
the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is
not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods,
but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together
begins to unravel.
The first book/series I read by Jennifer L. Armentrout was
Wicked and I quickly became a fangirl. I
devoured all 3 books in 3 days, and it is one of my all-time favorite series
now. I was hesitant to read From Blood
and Ash because it is a High Fantasy novel and I am more into the Romance genre
than Fantasy, but, with all the hype I decided to give a try and HOLY
HELL! I am OBSESSED now! This also being the first High Fantasy book Jennifer
L. Armentrout has written is extremely impressive!
From Blood and Ash is a suspenseful fantasy, that at times, in the beginning, can be a little slow, as there is a lot world-building with Gods, Cravens, Vamprye, Descenders, The Price (also known as The Dark One), Atlantians and Wolven but it picks up quickly. Then you have the whole mystery of what happens during the actual Ascension when she is given to the Gods? There is SO much to this story. It has action, adventure, violence, gore, romance, betrayal, mystery and LOTS Of secrets. I just could not get enough! I read this book and the second book within 3 days. All the side characters were just as interesting and likeable. The end of the book was fast paced, and had some crazy events that broke my heart into a million pieces. I cannot give this book a high enough review! I absolutely love it!!
I give this book 5 Hearts!
BOOK REVIEW: WRAITH by Franca Storm
BOOK: WRAITH
SERIES: Iron Kings MC, #1
AUTHOR: Franca Storm
SYNOPSIS:
MY REVIEW:
Franca Storms Wraith is Book 1 in her
Iron Kings Motorcycle Club Romance series. This is Wraith (Finn) & Ashley's
story! The book cover caught my
attention and as soon as I read the blurb I knew this one was for me!
Finn is ex-military, one of the
deadliest black ops there is. After
being betrayed by his team and critically injured he was taken in by his old friend,
Scott (Spartan) Tate, the President of the Iron Kings MC. He protected him and provided medical care
for him. While Finn was recovering,
Scott’s daughter Ashley helped take care of Finn and their attraction started
from there. Finn is the silent but
deadly type LOL. Once he lets the
monster out it is hard to reign himself in and that scares him. After recovering, Finn started a new life
living off the grid. Scott comes to Finn and asks for his help
protecting his daughter Ashley. The
Rogues, a rival gang that killed Scott’s wife years go is now going after Ashley.
Ashley, the Club Princess hates
the MC lifestyle. She is a strong woman with a big heart that always tries to
do the right thing. She moved away from home because her father constantly
suffocated her and didn’t allow her any freedom. She now works at a Tattoo Parlor in another
city and has worked hard to build a new life of her own and loves her freedom. When Finn shows up at her tattoo parlor, the
Rogues are already there and trying to kidnap Ashley. Finn stops it and takes Ashley into
hiding. I like that Ashely didn’t fight Finn
or act like a spoiled “princess”. She
knew that her father’s lifestyle would end up messing up her life again
eventually and she is resigned to that.
You can feel the chemistry between
Finn and Ashely. Ashley has had feelings
for Finn since she was helping to care for him.
Finn did as well but since that is his friend’s daughter, he tries to
avoid his feelings, which is hard when he is protecting her 24/7 and she is
living with him. He is also
significantly older than she is. I
really like that the indecision of should he, shouldn’t he be with her wasn’t
drawn out too much. Once Finn realized he
didn’t want to ever be without Ashley, he gave in to feelings.
This book has everything! Action, violence, revenge, angst and some seriously steamy romance! I highly recommend you check out the Iron Kings MC Series!!
I give Wraith 5 Hearts!

INTO TEMPTATION
(Book II:
DELIVER US FROM EVIL TRILOGY)
Monica James
Monsters are real…and that monster is my father.
Ten years ago, I surrendered. I thought I was doing
the right thing. But lies and greed have once again destroyed my life, leaving
me to deal with the aftermath.
This life has always been a curse, but the world as I
know it has changed. Belfast isn’t what it used to be.
Alliances are broken. Kingdoms have fallen. But those
who remain loyal see me as their rightful king.
With
secrets unraveled, my need for vengeance grows stronger every day. However, ten
years is a long time. People have changed. I have changed. But the one thing
that remains untouched is my love for Babydoll—I love her…even if she doesn’t
feel the same.
I will take
back what’s mine.
My kingdom.
My name.
And my
girl.
Every
monster is scared of somethin’…and that somethin’ is me.
No more hiding in the shadows because I’m huntin’ you…Father.

Shifter's Sacrifice
An all wolf-shifter police force has been the only thing between humans and an unknown evil for centuries, but the pack is in danger of dying if they don't find their promised mates soon.
Trevor Burbank is a shifter cop in a world of humans who don't know the evil
that wants them dead. If he does his job well, the humans will never need to
know, but he feels like he's working against the clock, because his pack is
about to die. The females have all been killed, and the half-breeds they make
when they mate with humans aren't usually skilled or strong enough to fight.
Gabriela Carmi has lost almost everything that means anything to her way too
fast and now she feels like she’s losing her mind too. On a quest to find
something that won't reveal itself to her, she feels as if she’s pining for
someone who may not exist. So when an evil presence begins to follow her, she
isn't sure if her mind is slowly falling apart, or if the impossible is
actually coming true. And when an instant attraction sparks between her and the
dangerously sexy police officer sent to help her, it makes matters worse and
better at the same time.
It's a race against time to find the angel/human hybrid One True Mates that the
pack's spiritual leaders say truly exist. Saving the all the shifter clans is
on everyone's mind, except for the chosen, the One True Mates, most of whom
don’t even know who or what they really are, or why they seem to be slowly
losing their minds.
AVAILABLE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED OR ON SALE FOR $0.99
One True Mate 2: Dragon's Heat
Dragon love burns bright, can she survive the flames?
Graeme made his way to Serenity for one very specific, hopefully-deadly reason,
but a few friendly wolf shifters on the Serenity Police Department almost made
him reconsider his centuries-old death wish. His body, however, remembers it
well, acting upon it when he is unable.
Heather Herrin has just received news that threatens to change everything for
her, but when she sees a half-naked beast of a man in a hospital bed, he takes
center stage in her thoughts, giving her some relief. Until he runs hot then cold
so often she almost gives up on him, having no way of knowing he's someone that
will make her entire life make sense.
Are Graeme's reasons for turning down what he thought he'd never be blessed to
have enough to keep them apart? Or will Heather manage to break through his
walls in time to save them both?

Shifter's Dream
Troy was a man trapped in a wolf’s body for three decades,
until a nap changed his life forever. Now that he’s a wolf trapped in a man’s
body, he’s not going back. Food? Good. Partying? Better. Women? Best. With one
brother missing, one brother overwhelmed by parenting twin engels, and only
distracted Mac to keep him straight, Troy is fulfilling his every desire, never
sleeping, rarely working, refusing to reel it in.
Until he sees her.
Reed has many rules, but the biggest one might be, never date a cop. There’s
also never kiss on the first date. Never tell anyone your business. Never go in
the forest. Never-
But then that cop walked into her bar. The one with the wild eyes and the
chiseled jaw. The one who devoured her every time he stared at her.
Don’t go in the forest, Reed. Never go in the forest.
That’s where the wolves live.

Shifter's Homecoming
Trent Burbank is a wolf shifter who has never shifted into a
man. He’s on a mission—send the beast home. He’s given his word that the beast
will be coming home, and Trent always keeps his word.
After a devastating trauma, his plans are interrupted. Trent is yanked away
from the life he knows and charged with a critical task that only he can
complete.
Now his vow has changed.
But when he discovers keeping his word could mean losing his mate, Trent
prepares to fight...

THIS MUCH IS TRUE
A smart and sexy romance
about a grumpy single dad on a mission of revenge, and the girl he can’t leave
behind by USA Today bestselling author Tia Louise.
Hope
I blame the alcohol.
I lost my restaurant business, was forced to sell my dad’s cherished 1967 Chevy
Impala, and I got a little drunk.
Now I’m waking up with the hottest, angriest guy I’ve ever seen, speeding down
the highway like a bat out of hell.
Ice-blue eyes hit mine with stomach-clenching force…
And he swerves onto the shoulder, ready to kick me out.
Needless to say, our romance doesn’t start out sweet.
J.R.
Two years ago, I hugged my little boy goodbye and told him I’d be right
back.
Next thing I knew, I was arrested and sent to prison for a crime I didn’t
commit.
Until they let me out early…
Now I’m headed home to confront the man who put me away.
A lie put me behind bars, and I’m ready to find the truth.
I don’t have time for a sexy girl with pale blonde hair and bright blue eyes
stowed away on the backseat of my new car.
My mission is to get my son back and clear my name.
Love is not on the agenda.
It never is, though, is it?
(THIS MUCH IS TRUE is a single-dad, opposites attract, stand-alone romance. No
cheating. No cliffhangers.)

Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor.)

Twist of Fate
A friends-to-lovers,
second-chance, stand-alone romance by USA Today bestselling author Tia Louise.
To be “just friends” with a guy, you’ve got to follow The Rules:
Don’t touch him unnecessarily.
Don’t share your intimate dreams with him (even if he asks).
Don’t kiss him, and definitely don’t sleep with him.
Scout Dunne and I have been “just friends” since childhood.
He’s everything you could want—sexy, charming, confident—every girl’s wet
dream.
Until we broke The Rules.
We broke them in the ocean, in my aunt’s bathroom, in my bed…
It was the hottest week of my life.
I’m one of the few people who knows the first-round NFL draft pick wants more
than a life of sports.
Because we’re friends, right?
Not anymore.
Now he’s gone, and I’m trying to get my career back on track.
Mamma said a guy would never put your dreams ahead of his.
But the twist of fate?
It’s something you never see coming.
(TWIST OF FATE is a STAND-ALONE friends-to-lovers, accidental pregnancy
romance. No cheating. No cliffhanger.)

TEMPTATION
The Hunted Series, Book 1
MORE THAN 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE
Shy student Penny Taylor always follows the rules. At least, that’s how it
appears to her classmates. But she has one illicit secret – she’s fallen hard
for her professor. And she’s pretty sure he’s fallen for her too.
Everyone loves Professor Hunter. He’s tall, dark, and handsome. And completely
unobtainable. But it’s the secrets hiding behind his deep brown eyes that
allures Penny. Secrets darker than she could ever imagine.
James Hunter gave up his billionaire lifestyle in NYC last year to become a
professor. The easiest new rule to follow: don’t fraternize with the students.
It’s easy to follow because he’s become quite the recluse in his new town – the
only way he knows how to keep his secrets buried.
But he never expected to be teaching such a beautiful student. He has to resist
her. He needs to walk away. Penny deserves better than a man with his demons.
But she’s daring him to cross the line. And he’s never been one to resist
temptation.

EMPIRE HIGH UNTOUCHABLES
Empire High, Book 1
Now a Top 10 Amazon Bestseller
Matthew Caldwell is the definition of NYC’s elite.
Charming.
Gorgeous.
Wealthy.
Untouchable.
That’s what everyone calls him and his friends - the Untouchables. The nickname
probably comes from the fact that they’re ridiculously wealthy. Or maybe the name
just refers to the fact that they’re so beautiful it’s almost hard to look at
them.
No matter the reason for their nickname, it’s an ironic one, because I really
want to touch. I just don’t know whether I want to slap him or kiss him.
Because one minute he’s my tormentor, and the next he acts like my savior in
this new city I don’t belong in.
Yeah, I’m definitely going to slap him right after he kisses me senseless.
Screw you, Matthew freaking Caldwell.
