Sarah's Reviews: Faythe Reclaimed (Hanaford Park Series #3) by Lisa Sanchez

Running through a strange forest with a bloodthirsty demon hot on her heels wasn’t Taylor’s idea of a rockin’ evening. Then again, neither was soaring backward through time and space. Time travel chafed and left a rank, nasty aftertaste. So, when she finds herself floundering amidst a sea of Commandment-loving holy rollers who fling accusations of witchcraft and bedevilment like hotcakes in a diner, finding her way home jumps to the top of her to do list. Too bad she can’t remember who she is or where she came from. And if that wasn’t bad enough, Taylor has to fall for the mysterious Latin warlock living on the edge of Salem Village and who comes to her rescue, Gabriel Castillo.

Battling an identity crisis and lost in a time that’s not her own, Taylor is determined to find her way back to twenty-first century Hanaford Park. But first, she and Gabriel must work together to uncover the dark scourge lurking in Salem's shadows, and in doing so, save their own lives, and the lives of countless innocents from a lethal date with the hangman’s noose.

Sarah's reviews: Eve of Samhain (Hanaford Park Series #1) - Lisa Sanchez 

Sarah's reviews: Pleasures Untold (Hanaford Park Series #2) - Lisa Sanchez

You have seen my previous reviews on the other Hanaford Park books and you'll know I loved them and have been itching to read the next part. Well here it is - Faythe Reclaimed. Possibly my most anticipated book EVER and I couldn't wait to get reading this!

The book starts straight after Pleasures Untold and is told in both Gabriel's and Taylor's points of view. This is a great way to get both sides of this story as Taylor is now back in time with no memory of who she is or where she's from. Gabriel also goes back in time too and they both are in Massachusetts in 1692, the place and time of the Salem witch trials. Gabriel is under some kind of curse that means Taylor becomes impossible to be with. This doesn't stop him from wanting to help her of course... this is love after all! Taylor still unable to work out who she is soon takes on the name of Faythe as the villagers believe that's who she is, then she meets Gabriel and has a connection with him. Soon rumours start flying about them and people become wary of them. The odds really are up against them with demons also after them and now the village is turning too.

I couldn't put this down once I'd finally got the outside world to realise that I needed time to have time to read my book! From the series so far this is the more darker and she really knows how to push the characters through real physical pain. Such descriptive pain that I felt sore reading the words and wanted to protect these two from any more pain. Sanchez lightens this all up with humour, Taylor might not know who she is but she's not lost her ability to say exactly how she feels. Some of these moments are pure laugh out loud moments and then bang you're back feeling sorry for her and the plight that her and Gabriel are now in. Also the steamy scenes are extra steamy this time around, you won't be disappointed! 

Absolutely loved this book and it didn't let me down at all and fully deserves the rating below! Now get reading it and if you haven't yet read the other Hanaford Park stories then get on it. Hurry, you won't be disappointed.

Lethal Rider {Lords of Deliverance #3} by Larissa Ione

 

They're here. They ride. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Born of a match between good and evil, four siblings stand between hell's minions and everything they want to destroy. They are the Lords of Deliverance, and they have the power to ward off Doomsday...or let it ride...

Thanatos, the most deadly Horseman of the Apocalypse, has endured thousands of years of celibacy to prevent the end of days. But just one night with the wickedly sexy Aegis Guardian, Regan Cooper, shatters centuries of resolve. Yet their passion comes with a price. And Thanatos must face a truth more terrifying than an apocalypse-he's about to become a father.

Demon-slayer Regan Cooper never imagined herself the maternal type, but with the fate of the world hanging in the balance she had no choice but to seduce Thanatos and bear his child. Now, as the final battle draws closer and his rage at being betrayed is overshadowed by an undeniable passion for the mother of his child, Thanatos has a life-shattering realization: To save the world, he must sacrifice the only thing he's ever wanted-a family.

*NO SPOILERS

Larissa Ione has done it again! Lethal Rider is a fantastic romance with incredible fast-paced action that will leave you breathless and break your heart.

With every book I read from Larissa Ione, I am more and more amazed with her ability to write with the perfect balance between HOT Romance and an Action packed adventure. I can honestly count on one hand’s finger how many author have that incredible talent. Every single book I read by Larissa Ione feels so effortless and is absolutely impossible to stop reading for a second!

Lethal Rider is the story of Thanatos, the Horseman of the Apocalypse also known as Death. Than’s road to happiness started back in Immortal Rider, but we get the whole of it in Lethal Rider and what an amazing ride it is.

Than is damaged, to say the least, and after 5 thousand years of life, a terrible curse, uncountable deaths and losing a brother to Evil, Happiness is the furthest thing from his mind and heart, regardless of how much he might desire it.

Regan is a Guardian/Warrior of the Aegi, the human organization that hunts demons. Ever since the dominos have started fallen and the Apocalypse has become more imminent, the Aegi has been changing its ways, allying with Demons and Vampires with like minds and trying to find a way to save the World.

When Regan follows an order from the Aegi in accordance with a prophecy, her fate interconnects with Thanatos’ and both their lives will never be the same. Regan is just as damaged as Than, she just has had a shorter life span. Born from an Aegi Guardian Mother’s coupling with her Guardian Husband while possessed by a Demon, Regan has incredible powers that the Aegi fear and therefore treat her like a freak.

Feeling unwanted from birth, Regan has only the Aegi to call her own, but when her fate joins Thanatos’, life as she knew it will never be the same and it is time for her to create her own destiny.

One of the most incredible things about Larissa Ione’s novels is that they are never just about the Happily Ever After of a couple. We have so much going on and so much fast-paced action that it is impossible not to be enthralled by the stories Larissa weaves. Not to mention her talent in making the Demonica and the Lords of Deliverance series almost one and the same by giving

us glimpses of our favorite Demonica characters! All I can say to that is: YAY!

Lethal Rider is the perfect addition to the amazing Lords of Deliverance series. If you have yet to

read this series or author, get off your butt and so right now! If you are a fan like me, you will absolutely LOVE Lethal Rider!

Bear Meets Girl {Pride #7} by Shelly Laurenston

  

He's big, burly, and way smarter than your average shapeshifting bear. He's also about to get trapped by own his game. . .

Lou Crushek is a reasonable, mellow, easygoing kind of guy. But once someone starts killing the scumbags he works so hard to bust, that really gets under his fur. Especially when that someone is a curvy she-tiger with a skill set that's turning Crush's lone-bear world upside down--and bringing his passion out of hibernation. . .

As a member of an elite feline protection unit, Marcella Malone has no problem body-dropping anyone who hunts her kind. But Crush is proving one major pain in her gorgeous tail. The only reason she's joined forces with him is to track down the wealthy human who's got her entire species in his ruthless sights. It sure isn't because Crush's stubborn and contrary attitude is rubbing Cella in all the right ways. . .

It is very rare a book is laugh out loud funny, but Shelly Laurenston is one of the authors that always gets me laughing so much it hurts. I found myself having to put the book down for a couple seconds to catch my breath, that’s how funny it was. But, don’t be mistaken, Bea Meets Girl is not just funny, This a hilarious book that is also able to be action packed and sexy as hell at the same time. I honestly don’t know another author that could deliver something as awesome as Shelly Laurenston is able to, time and time again. I love the world Shelly Laurenston has created and the shifter species and subspecies are the flavor that makes this series so amazingly fantastic. Bear Meets Girls just is the nail on the coffin that proves that Bears are my favorite species in the Pride series. They are hilariously curious and their logic can drive even the most centered person insane. One thing I found very interesting in Bear Meets Girl is that for the first time in a PNR, the couple didn’t really have many issues keeping them apart. It was just a matter of them getting together, getting to know each other and falling in love. Which left a lot of time for awesomely fun action and very funny parallel scenes with secondary characters that will definitely get the spotlight in future books. I am not saying that the main couple wasn’t great, because OMG they definitely were. Crush is such a goody-goody and afraid of change that you can imagine how a Tigress like Cella, who thrives in creating chaos, drove him crazy from the first moment they met. Their interactions was so funny and sweet at the same time, that it is impossible not to fall in love with them. I have to say that one of my favorite parts of Bear Meets Girl was getting a glimpse into other characters of the series that have already gotten their HEA. I am talking of course of the sweetest basket case that is Blayne. Her appearance in Bear Meets Girl just makes me re-read Beast Behaving Badly so much! If you are a fan of the Pride series, Bear Meets Girl is such a great addition to the series that you won’t regret stopping whatever you are doing to read it. However, if you have yet to check out this series, I seriously urge you to do so, you have no idea what you are missing!

Fair Game {Alpha & Omega #4} by Patricia Briggs

  

They say opposites attract. And in the case of werewolves Anna Latham and Charles Cornick, they mate. The son-and enforcer-of the leader of the North American werewolves, Charles is a dominant alpha. While Anna, an omega, has the rare ability to calm others of her kind. 

Now that the werewolves have revealed themselves to humans, they can't afford any bad publicity. Infractions that could have been overlooked in the past must now be punished, and the strain of doing his father's dirty work is taking a toll on Charles. 

Nevertheless, Charles and Anna are sent to Boston, when the FBI requests the pack's help on a local serial killer case. They quickly realize that not only the last two victims were werewolves-all of them were. Someone is targeting their kind. And now Anna and Charles have put themselves right in the killer's sights...

*Minor Overall Series SPOILERS

Charles and Anna are back and the first thing that comes to mind is YAY! Patricia Briggs is one of the most consistently amazing authors out there. she has yet to disappoint me and with Fair Game she continues with her winning streak. The Alpha & Omega series is a spin-off of Patricia’s awesome Mercy Thompson series, with a couple as the protagonists instead of a single character. Anna and Charles are amongst my favorite couples ever and the series takes a different approach to the Paranormal Romance spectre. Charles and Anna’s “HEA” happens in the short story published in the anthology “On The Prowl” and the rest of the series is about what comes after the HEA is established. Since they are wolves and the HEA was pretty fast, you can imagine that the road won’t be without obstacle, specially since Anna and Charles both have their own personal issues to deal with. Fair Game is the fourth book in this fantastic series and it is an incredible addition to an already awesome story. We get ton of Charles and Anna moments along with a compelling and thrilling storyline that will keep you on the edge of your seat and unable to put down your book until you are done. If you have yet to check out the Alpha & Omega series, get off your butt and do it! You won’t regret it!

A SEAL in Wolf's Clothing {Heart of The Wolf #9} by Terry Spear

Her instincts tell her he's dangerous... 

While her overprotective brother's away, Meara Greymere's planning to play—and it wouldn't hurt to find herself a mate in the process. The last thing she needs is one of his SEAL buddies spoiling her fun, even if the guy is the hottest one she's ever seen... 

His powers of persuasion are impossible to resist... 

Finn Emerson is a battle-hardened Navy SEAL and alpha wolf. He's a little overqualified for baby-sitting, but feisty Meara is attracting trouble like a magnet... 

As the only responsible alpha male in the vicinity, Finn is going to have to protect this intriguing woman from a horde of questionable men, and definitely from himself...

*NO Spoilers.

Terry Spear delivers another amazing installment in her Wolf series, Heart of the Wolf. I so love this series. The smex is always hot, but there is also an interesting plot to keep you entertained and glued to the book.

I love how her characters from different books end up being interconnected in some way, even if they never meet. not to say that you should not read A SEAL in Wolf’s Clothing without having read the previous books, but I honestly think you’ll enjoy it more if you do. I feel only a couple of books in the series are really completely disconnected, the rest the threads of family or pack can be found between books, easily.

Now back to A SEAL in Wolf’s Clothing, we met Meara in the third book in the series, To Tempt The Wolf. She is the sister of that book’s hero and was fascinating even then. I remember being intrigued by her spunk and sauciness and was looking forward to reading her story. We finally get it in A SEAL in Wolf’s Clothing.

I bet it was so hard for Terry to create a character up to Meara’s standard, but Finn definitely fits the bill, ten fold if I may so. He is hot, smart, strong, determined and understanding. Despite being an ALPHA male he does know how to respect Meara’s wishes and tends to steamroll them in much lesser degree than most ALPHA males would.

I loved this couple and how much they fit each other, even though it took them long enough to figure that out. The intrigue surrounding them made for a very compelling plot as well and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.

A SEAL in Wolf’s Clothing is a great addition to such an awesome series not to mention that it introduces more characters that I hope Terry Spear will not leave behind LOL.

If you are as much as a Paranormal Romance lover as I am and just can’t help loving wolves, this is definitely a series you should check out. if you are a fan, A SEAL in Wolf’s Clothing should NOT be missed!

By a Thread {Elemental Assassin #6} by Jennifer Estep

  

When killing people is your job, there’s no such thing as a vacation. 

Then again, how often does an assassin live long enough to enjoy her retirement? In this line of work, you either get lucky or you get dead. And since I destroyed my nemesis Mab Monroe a few weeks ago, all of Ashland’s lowlifes are gunning to make a name for themselves by taking out the lethal Spider—me, Gin Blanco. So I’m leaving behind my beloved barbecue joint and heading south with my baby sister, Bria, to cool my heels in a swanky beach town. Call it a weekend of fun in the sun. 


But when a powerful vampire with deadly elemental magic threatens an old friend of Bria’s, it looks like I’ll have to dig my silverstone knives out of my suitcase after all. Complicating matters further is the reappearance of Detective Donovan Caine, my old lover. But Donovan is the least of my problems. Because this time, the danger is hot on my trail, and not even my elemental Ice and Stone magic may be enough to save me from getting buried in the sand—permanently.

*Overall Series SPOILERS

YES! This what I’ve been hoping for this series and Jennifer has delivered it in spades!

I was worried where this series was going after such a huge arch had been finished and I am psyched about what Jennifer Estep has done in By a Thread.

The big bad of the last books is dead, so now what? Well, Gin’s life is far from being peaceful, since all the wannabe big bads have decided she needs to go and all that is taking its toll on our dear Assassin.

Gin goes on vacation, but instead of finding some peace and quiet, she not only finds more trouble than ever before, but also a blast from the past that could have stayed buried.

I loved this book! I believe this is my favorite in the series so far. My only grip with the series has been that it was feeling a bit repetitive, but Jennifer has come through with By a Thread and delivered a fantastic piece of Urban Fantasy.

Action-packed and full of heart is the best way for me to describe By a Thread and after this fantastic installment, I can’t help but have high hopes for the next novels to come.

If you have yet to read this series, I utterly recommend it and if you are already a fan, you won’t want to miss By a Thread for anything!
