How to Vex a Vampire by Alice WintersDescription:
This 105k word book contains A creative use for undergarments, unintentional splits, a wolfhound who just wants to be a part of things, a vertically challenged human who still manages to wrap every vampire he meets around his little finger, the best date ever, possessiveness, really awkward dancing, some workplace revenge, and just a bite or two. Or three.
Our Thoughts 💭:
Smexy fun that shouldn't be missedI stumbled across this one while browsing and know this -
This series is now on my must-read list!
Omg 😆 it has a bit of everything. Mystery, suspense, humor, romance, light angst, ridiculous banter, smexy scenes
"for some reason, I feel like stuffing a human body under a rug won't go over very well" - Marcus
" But you don't know until you try it" - Finn
Finn stole my heart. He is seeking answers and the preternatural section of the police force is the only place he will find them. The problem is there is nothing special about him.
But that's not stopping him
Marcus does not want a squishy breakable human for a partner. Especially such a cute one
Easy fix make him want to quit
Famous last words
this was one laugh after another blended into a solid story that kept me engaged and turning pages. One minute I'm gripping my kindle on edge next I'm holding my stomach I'm laughing so hard

Princess of Bael by Lexi C. Foss
A real quick note to the author - how can you possibly threaten to end this series with the next book??? There is so much left to say, to explore, to play with.
Over a millennium ago Ezra used Kay - Went as far as to form a bond with her - to ensure the balance was kept.
Then when he was done needing her he left her in he ll
Now she's back and that saying about a woman scorned?? 😂
You haven't seen anything
Kay's plan to get Ezra's attention backfires and all holy Hades breaks loose
Kay is forced into putting aside (temporarily) her mission to nix Ezra so they can find out who is trying to destroy the veil and stop them before it is too late
Things end up going bum over tea kettle as enemies appear where none can be seen, allies become suspects, tempers flare, chemistry ignites, needs call...
This was packed with action, twists you don't see coming, betrayal, suspense, knives, and lots of friction 😂
One of my favorite fantasy series

Munro by Kresley Cole
This is Kereny and Munro's turbulent and tantalizing tale of "How we met, fought, and fell in love"
I do not want to give away spoilers so I am going to be a touch vague
Munroe knows that Kereny is his mate - or he thinks he does - at times with Kerney's passive/aggressive responses to him even I questioned if his Mate compass was a bit off - but never fear someone knew what they were doing when they hooked these two up
Even if they are separated by a few hundred years or so
This is packed with action, drama, really really bad guys, betrayals that are not always betrayals and some that are, lots of humor, some smoking hot smexy moments, denial, more humor, a lot more denial, and a few "HOLY CRISPY CRACKERS" moments that I did not see coming
I was hooked from the beginning. The story flowed at a tempo that was just shy of "cardio" according to my Fitbit - lol - There were some moments that allowed me to catch my breath while others had me screaming and my children looking at me as though I should be wearing a white coat
I own this entire series in paperback and just recently started listening (audio format) to it from the beginning - So I might be just a touch attached and protective of the characters
Welcome back Kresley

Rock and Troll by C.C. Wood
So she's a bit messy
Slightly anti-social
And fates forbid she should ever have to go into the woods - just because you are a wood nymph doesn't mean you like to rough it in the great outdoors
Maybe finding true love is just not in her stars
Clay has been setup
But it's his mother and he loves her
He will give her a ridiculous attempt at finding him a love match 4 weeks then he can return to the quiet of his workshop and his quiet life
What woman would want a large, at times green, slightly introverted troll anyway?
None
This was a pleasure to read
I adored Clay - he was this giant marshmallow of a man while at the same time he was solid, protective, a straight shooter
Dylan was more demanding than I normally like in my heroines but life made her that way
She and Clay fit each other perfectly - He was there to smooth her rough edges and she gave him a bit of direction as well as something precious to care for
Her heart ❤️
I laughed
I worried (a little angsty suspense)
Overall just had a really good time
Looking forward to the next in series
Heard it might be a Valkerie
Rock and Troll by C.C. WoodDescription:
Dylan is a wood nymph who’s tried everything. Even human dating apps. But none of it has worked.
Surely punching your date in the nose because he can’t keep his hands to himself is a sign that he’s not right for you.
Except there’s a postcard from Mystical Matchmakers in her mailbox. Maybe she can give love another try.
Rock and Troll is the first book in a new paranormal rom-com series by C.C. Wood!

Unlikely Queen by T.L. Smith
She knew of the Prophecy and waited until the time was right to change the future
She's prepared to put a stop to its fulfillment while taking power for herself
I gave this five stars 🌟
Even with all the unknowns
I was enthralled from the first page to the last
The world-building was mystical
The characters were flawed yet bewitching
The story itself was memorizing - a lot is going on and I felt the introductions and transitions flowed quite well for the chaos that was occurring
Small bits and pieces of information and possibilities were carefully placed crafting a substantial foundation for the series
It wasn't a romance in the normal sense
It was a bendy zaggy journey that I wanted more of
Cast:
Wings, Talia, Little Fighter, The future - many names all the same determined heroine
Grim the protector - though we know there is more to Death
Tatiana the ever calm ever vigilant older sister
Bronik the angel - friend or foe?
Valefar - the demon not sure which side he is on either though I enjoyed his dark humor
Patrick the martyr
John the Alpha wolf
Tanya the soft-hearted sister
Viper the dark king
And the queen whose ego is bigger than the crystal castle
An engaging and exciting first in series
With a solid foundation for future books
Great characters
Unique world-building with plenty of action, suspense, adventure, tension, angst, light but steamy romance, and all kinds of misdirection, romantic tensions, and future possibilities
Looking forward to returning the Crystal Castle

The Ruins on Stone Hill by F.P. Spirit
This is the first book in the series
A mismatched band of bumbling, though adept (you will see), heroes set out to save the world
Battling monsters and villains and occasionally themselves as they face the pains of newly adulting
From the opening scene, this was packed with action and adventure, and humor blended with a bit of coming-of-age angst
a solid storyline with a fast pace packed with an enjoyably eccentric cast
I did have a little teeny tiny problem with some over-descriptive dialogue here and there which was why I docked a star
Still greatly enjoyed the adventure

Unlikely Queen by T.L. SmithDescription:
First in a series from a USA Today bestselling author: When a prophecy names her the one true queen, Talia must face a bloodthirsty monarch in order to claim the throne — and win what’s rightfully hers…
Our Thoughts 💭:
Long ago Queenie decided she was superior so she made a deal (we think) with a demon to overthrow the king and force the populace to bow to her whimsShe knew of the Prophecy and waited until the time was right to change the future
She's prepared to put a stop to its fulfillment while taking power for herself

The Ruins on Stone Hill by F.P. SpiritDescription:
What do you get when you mix an elf, a gnome, a halfling, and a warrior? Magic, mayhem, and loads of sarcasm.
Enter a world of magic and adventure in this fun tale of heroes in the making. Perfect for fans of Lord of the Rings and Dungeons & Dragons.
