Torn ( A Wicked Trilogy #2) By Jennifer L Armentrout

Posted on January 13, 2017 | Leave a comment

torn Torn (A Wicked Trilogy #2) by Jennifer L Armentrout.  Published July 19, 2016  by Jennifer L Armentrout.  CDN $4.99 Kindle edition.

Torn between duty and survival, nothing can be the same.

Everything Ivy Morgan thought she knew has been turned on its head. After being betrayed and then nearly killed by the Prince of the Fae, she’s left bruised and devastated—and with an earth-shattering secret that she must keep at all costs. And if the Order finds out her secret, they’ll kill her.

Then there’s Ren Owens, the sexy, tattooed Elite member of the Order who has been sharing Ivy’s bed and claiming her heart. Their chemistry is smoking hot, but Ivy knows that Ren has always valued his duty to the Order above all else—he could never touch her if he knew the truth. That is, if he let her live at all. Yet how can she live with herself if she lies to him?

But as the Fae Prince begins to close in, intent on permanently opening the gates to the Otherworld, Ivy is running out of options. If she doesn’t figure out who she can trust—and fast—it’s not only her heart that will be torn apart, but civilization itself. (goodreads excerpt)

OMG I am totally loving this series. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book!.  It is really hard to gush all over a book I love without giving anything away, but here goes…

Ivy is still smart ass and tough as nails.  I love the fire between her and Ren…and OMG the secret!  well holy smoke in a landmine!  (not giving anything away 😉 ).  This book vamps up the heat in more ways than one.  It gets really intense with the arrival of the Prince and keeps you on the edge of your seat.  I am sooo stoked for the next book!  Jennifer Armentrout never disappoints!

5 stars for me!

The Return (Titan #1) by Jennifer L Armentrout

Posted on July 3, 2015 | Leave a comment

Titan The Return (Titan #1 by Jennifer Armentrout. Published Feb 16, 2015 by Spencer Hill Press. CDN $5.63 Kindle edition

The Fates are cackling their bony asses off… It’s been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life to them. And so far, the jobs they’ve given him have been violent and bloody–which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has something else in mind for Seth. He’s got to play protector while keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most challenging yet. Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy’s deal might be, but it’s a good bet that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is going insane or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is gunning for her. But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing of all. Because history has once again been flipped to repeat. (Goodreads Excerpt)

Well what to say…HOLY CRAP! I LOVED LOVED LOVED this book. I absolutely adored the covenant series and was sad when it ended. I don’t normally like love triangles but I did enjoy Seth in the covenant as an intent…and a bit psychotic love interest/tangled mess. So it was really cool to see him have a book of his own. I have to say this Seth is much more…intense…and a little (just a little) psychotic!

True to Jennifer’s style I love her characters and her worlds and can’t put anything down that she writes. I like that this is a spin off that picks up a bit after the last covenant ends. It makes it easy to sink into the plot and delve into Seth’s mind and his perspective.

Did I say he was HOT?! Oh yeah he is…and I love the connection with Josie who is sweet and innocent and Seth has to calm the F down and figure out how to protect her. I do love how she comes into her own and turns into quite the little spirited aggressive one all on her own. She is a tough girl on the inside and the story brings it out. I am a big fan of two POV so this was right up my alley.

Really enjoyable and can’t wait for the next book. 5 stars for me!

Wicked (Wicked #1) by Jennifer Armentrout

Posted on January 21, 2015 | Leave a comment

22895264 Wicked (Wicked #1) by Jennifer Armentrout.  Published Dec 8, 2014 by Amazon Digital Services    CDN $2.08 Kindle edition.

Things are about to get Wicked in New Orleans. Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life. After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart apart. Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has shaped for her. But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them. There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul. (Goodreads excerpt)

OMG where to start with this tantalizing little morsel of an amazing book! I love Jennifer Armentrout, she is truly and amazing writer. Holy freakin crap…I do have to warn you though that this is NOT a Young adult book….I think it is even pushing the New adult genre and moves right onto amazingly hot and full on adult! Not a bad thing but a lot of her books are YA or NA. so be forewarned…it is called WICKED for a reason!

Ok, now that I have calmed myself (sort of 🙂 ) Ivy, the main character is instantly loveable, not in the charming, sweet way but in the Oh yeah she is one badass, kick ass, drag em out, sarcasm at its finest kind of heroine. She doesn’t need a man, but holy cow the one that she meets is HOT HOT HOT. Together there is action, drama, romance (of the steamy kind) and a whole lotta fae fighting, paranormal stuff going on.

Did I say this book was awesome? Oh yeah I think I did.   LOVED IT!

5 stars for me!

Opposition (Lux #5) by Jennifer L Armentrout

Posted on September 5, 2014 | 2 comments

Opposition (Lux, #5) Opposition (Lux #5) by Jennifer L Armentrout.  Published Aug 5, 2014 by Entangled Teen. CDN $7.99 Kindle edition.

Katy knows the world changed the night the Luxen came. She can’t believe Daemon welcomed his race or stood by as his kind threatened to obliterate every last human and hybrid on Earth. But the lines between good and bad have blurred, and love has become an emotion that could destroy her—could destroy them all. Daemon will do anything to save those he loves, even if it means betrayal. They must team with an unlikely enemy if there is any chance of surviving the invasion. But when it quickly becomes impossible to tell friend from foe, and the world is crumbling around them, they may lose everything— even what they cherish most—to ensure the survival of their friends…and mankind. War has come to Earth. And no matter the outcome, the future will never be the same for those left standing. (Goodreads Excerpt)

Well what can I say now that it is all over? It was quite the ride I have to admit that. I was absolutely thrilled with the conclusion to the series. It was an amazing, tense, heart pounding, on the edge of your seat thrilling and wow…swoon worthy too!

I have become a HUGE fan of Jennifer Armentrout. She has not disappointed me yet and I can’t wait to read whatever she comes up with next. Amazing story telling, world building, character development and everything else that makes a book hard to put down.

It is hard to come up with a review for the fifth book without giving away anything from the previous books so I will leave it at this…

White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L Armentrout

Posted on March 17, 2014 | 2 comments

White Hot Kiss (The Dark Elements, #1) White Hot Kiss by Jennifer Armentrout.  Published Feb 25, 2014 by Harlequin Teen.  CDN $3.03

One kiss could be the last.

Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she’s anything but normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses.

Raised among the Wardens—a race of gargoyles tasked with hunting demons and keeping humanity safe—Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she loves the most. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy, incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she’s crushed on since forever.

Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know all her secrets. Layla knows she should stay away, but she’s not sure she wants to—especially when that whole no-kissing thing isn’t an issue, considering Roth has no soul.

But when Layla discovers she’s the reason for the violent demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her chances with Zayne…it could brand her a traitor to her family. Worse yet, it could become a one-way ticket to the end of the world. (Goodreads excerpt)

OMG! This was me after reading this!

Well holy crap and OMG!  I love this new book by Jennifer Armentrout.  I have to say that I am a HUGE Roth fan!  Demon or not this guy is HOT, STEAMY, SEXY and a whole lot of AWESOMENESS all entangled into one WICKED man.  I kid you not…this guy is TEMPTATION personified. 

I love the concept of this book. Not only do we see a world with SEXY HOT Gargoyles of all creatures, talk about original, but the entire world is aware of them.  Very cool.  I want to go knock on a gargoyle and see if he is real.  Personally I love everything this author touches but this one is fantastic. It is suspenseful, thrilling, captivating and engaging and really draws the reader in.  It is a typical battle of good vs evil, but we don’t really know who is good and who is bad.  The lines are blurred perfectly making the reader second guess everything. 

 I love Layla.  She is smart, funny, fearless, with abilities like no other.  She is everything you want in a MC.  She has her faults too of course; impulsive is probably the biggest since it gets her in trouble.  You have no choice but to empathize with her.  She has lived her whole life with a huge problem…her kiss would suck the soul right out of you. And to top it off, she craves souls like an addict on crack!  Talk about issues…

I’ve said this before, that I am not a fan of love triangles, but this one works.  Layla has been in love with Zayne, a gargoyle forever, but can never have him. Then comes along Roth, whom she can be with if she chooses, but he is an upper level demon…talk about a date with a devil.  And he is full of deliciousness that she can’t resist.  It’s all about choices.  I won’t tell you anymore, but this is an incredible book! 

5 stars for me.

Bitter Sweet Love – Jennifer L Armentrout

Posted on March 3, 2014 | 3 comments

Bitter Sweet Love (The Dark Elements, #0.5) Bitter Sweet Love by Jennifer L Armentrout. Published Dec 1, 2013 by Harlequin Teen.  CDN$2.51 Kindle Edition

Dez wasn’t just Jasmine’s crush. A gargoyle Warden like Jas, he helped her come to terms with her destiny—fending off demons and maintaining balance between good and evil. He was her everything…right until the moment he disappeared without a trace. It didn’t help that Jas’s father had just announced that she and Dez would one day be mated. Hard not to take that personally.

And now he’s back, three years older, ten times hotter, ready to pick up exactly where they left off. But Jas isn’t taking that risk again. Dez has seven days to meet all her conditions and earn back her trust. Seven days filled with terrifying danger and sweet temptation. Seven days to win her heart—or shatter it all over again…(Goodreads Excerpt)

HOT! and OMG I love this book!  I can’t wait to dive right into White Hot Kiss.  I love the originality of this series.  I have never read a book with Gargoyles that come to life and are so hot you melt reading about it.  I love the imagination of Jennifer Armentrout.  I haven’t been disappointed in any of her writing yet and this is certainly no exception.

The interaction between Dez and Jasmine is so real and engaging that you can’t help but love them both.  You see real emotion between them and it feels realistic and genuine.  You just Sigh…and go OMG and I can’t wait to read more.

I also love how we get introduced to a young Kayla, the main character in White Hot Kiss.  This promises to be one great series.  It has everything, action, romance, Gargoyles, Demons…did I mention Hot Guys?

5 stars for me.
