Review: Alien in the Family by Gini Koch
Product Description
Super-Being Exterminator Kitty Katt and the Alpha Centaurian she loves, Jeff Martini, should be finalizing their wedding plans. But that was before she discovers Jeff is in line to become Emperor back on his home world. Kitty knows she is everything a royal family wouldn't approve of, and is bracing herself for the worst. As it turns out, the royal family is just the beginning. Especially when extraterrestrial Amazonian terrorists are determined to start and end Kitty and Jeff's nuptial festivities with a bang.
This story kept me hanging on the edge of my seat as to what the heck could happen next. This one was another book by Ms Koch that was like getting on the biggest, wildest, roller coaster ride around. She doesn't stop with the action until the book stops lol. And that had to be the funniest, wildest, and craziest wedding I've ever read about. And the end with Martini knowing certain things before she does was hilarious.
I hope Ms. Koch keeps writing books for a long, long time because I will certainly be buying whatever she writes. This series is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I give this book a 5 stars.
This book was purchased for my personal pleasure and if you not read these books you need to run to the book store and purchase them all.

Review: Goddess With a Blade by Lauren Dane
Product Description
Rowan Summerwaite is no ordinary woman. Physical vessel to the Celtic Goddess Brigid and raised by the leader of the Vampire Nation, she's a supercharged hunter with the power to slay any vampire who violates the age-old treaty.
A recent string of murders has her at odds with Las Vegas's new Scion, the arrogant and powerful Clive Stewart. The killings have the mark of Vampire all over them, and Rowan warns Clive to keep his people in line—or she'll mete out her own brand of justice.
Though her dealings with Clive are adversarial to say the least, Rowan is intensely aware of her attraction to him. But she can't let it distract her from her duty—to find and battle the killer before more women die
I love Lauren's take on vampires. Its very fresh and different what with an agreement between the vamps and the hunters. Very different indeed. And with the addition of who raised Rowen and her family history it makes for one conflicted heroine which I liked. And Clive he's very arrogant and sure of himself which makes Rowan either want to kill him or kiss him. Sometimes its a toss up as to which way she'll go lol.
If you like Lauren's other books you'll like this one too. It was a very good story with great characters. I didn't think her characters were as fleshed out as some of her other books and that her secondary characters weren't as good in this book as some of her others like her Chance series but this was still a good book. I give it 3 1/2 stars
I received a copy of this one from Netgalley for review purposes only and no other consideration.

Quick Reviews: Shiloh Walker
Product Description
Nessa lost her memory following a near-death experience. Dominic is a Hunter dealing with his own problems with memory and sanity. When the two are put together to battle the forces of darkness-while trying to restore what they've lost-their all-consuming passion becomes an even greater unknown.
I like most folks who follow Shiloh's Hunters have been waiting on this one forever. I loved Nessa as a character since she was first introduced. But Nessa wasn't what I was expecting. Yes she still was a very capable witch. But with things that happened to her and her loved ones she is very vulnerable and in order for her to reconnect with her lost love who is now Dominic she would have to be. I believe that Shiloh wrote these character how they would have to be in order to get them together but I was hoping that her male character would be a strong enough character to get together with Nessa but unfortunately in this series I don't think anyone fit the bill except Mal and he's definitely taken and any new character would be a cheesy way out of this problem. That being said this was a satisfying read and these two characters fit. I just had a problem with Nessa being more of a wimp that I liked and I hate to say this since I usually love Shiloh's heroine. They kick butt. I give this one 3 stars and I bought and paid for it myself.
Product Description
A rebel army has been established to win back the land from demons-and a one soldier named Xan has appeared out of nowhere to join them. Beautiful army captain Laisyn Caar is shocked by the powerful, all- consuming desire she feels in his presence, but when she discovers the dark secrets of Xan's agenda, she'll have to determine whether the man she's starting to love is a friend of her people-or a dreaded enemy.
This story was a continuation of a book I loved by Shiloh. It was Through the Veil my favorite book by her. Syn and Xan were both strong characters and they had their faults and Xan especially liked to keep to many secrets. My only thing about this book was that being a continuation in a series was that I had already forgotten most of the first book because there was so long between books but after a reread of the first i was completely up to speed so my suggestion is if you like Shi's book and haven't read the first one buy them both and read them in order.
I give this one 4 1/2 stars and I bought this one myself .

Review: Big Bad Beast by Shelly Laurenston
Product DescriptionSeeing is deceiving. And Ric Van Holtz, the wolfishly sexy hero of Shelly Laurenston's sizzling, wildly entertaining new tale, is nothing you expect--and everything you want. . .
When it comes to following her instincts, former Marine Dee-Ann Smith never holds back. And this deadly member of a shifter protection group will do anything to prove one of her own kind is having hybrids captured for dogfights. Trouble is, her too-cute rich-boy boss Ric Van Holtz insists on helping out. And his crazy-like-a-fox smarts and charming persistence are making it real hard for Dee to keep her heart safe. . ..
Ric can't believe his luck. He's wanted this fiercely independent she-wolf from day one, but he never expected teamwork as explosive as this. And now is his last chance to show Dee what she needs isn't some in-your-face Alpha male--but a wily, resourceful wolf who'll always have her back in a fight. . .and between the sheets.
I love Shelly's books and this one was no exception. I wasn't very sure about Dee Ann to start with but the more I got to know her the more I liked her. She's smart, crafty, and mean as a striped snake. And she gave Ric grief which is a good thing cause he smart, sinfully handsome, and way to smooth around the ladies. But you put them together and they just work. He's good to her and good for her and its a good thing he's a wolf because he's sort of like a dog with her as his bone ROFL. In turn Dee Ann needs him and is all his which is what he needs with that family of his. But I'm stopping there cause no spoilers. But dayumn what she does to his brother I loved it. They also learn who's behind the hybrid fights and put paid to that and we also get to see some of the characters from previous books which I love.
I bought this book for myself with my own money and I give this one 5 stars and I'm anxiously awaiting her next book. If you not bought this book you can grab your own copy here.

Review: Crown of Crystal Flame by C.L. Wilson
Product Description
A Song of Love won her heart.
A Song of Darkness haunted her soul.
A Song in the Dance would seal her fate.
Seers had long foreseen an extraordinary destiny for Ellysetta Baristani. Already she had won the heart of the Fey King—the magnificent Rain, ever her ally, eternally her love. She had saved the offspring of the magical tairen and fought beside her legendary mate against the armies of Eld. But the most powerful—and dangerous—Verse of her Song had yet to be sung. As the final battle draws nigh and evil tightens its grip upon her soul—will Ellysetta secure the world for Light or plunge it into Darkness for all eternity? As she and Rain fight for each other, side by side, will they find a way to complete their truemate bond and defeat the evil High Mage of Eld before it's too late, or must they make the ultimate sacrifice to save their world?
Fantastic fantasy series and as far as I am concerned the author saved the best for last in this series. I loved that even though the we've already had Rain and Elly's HFN they get their HEA in this book. And that she and the rest of family were brought back together had me cheering at the end of this book. This book just goes to show becareful what you wish for or at least that was the case for the baddie the High Mage of Eld.
If you love fantasy, strong heroines, Fey, Tairen, shapeshifters, men that are honorable warriors that love with their whole heart then this book is for you. If you like any of these things you definitely need to give this series a go. And lucky you can read the whole series from start to finish. I envy you. I think I'll do that myself. Yeah it was just that good lol. I give this book 4 1/2 stars and I bought and paid for this my own self. I am wishing that the author has more books in this world. There are some secondary characters I'd love to check up on.
