Review for Book of Watchers by Mary Ting

Book of Watchers by Mary Ting

Blurb:

Enoch wants to live an ordinary life. He’s content to lie low, skip his college classes, and avoid committing to any one girl. But ordinary isn’t on the syllabus for Enoch because at night, he dreams of demons. Vivid dreams that leave him wanting escape more than ever. When they escape his dreams and attack him during daylight, his reality becomes a nightmare.

As he pieces together the meaning behind the encounters, supernatural creatures emerge. Demons. Vampires. Witches. Angels. And they all want something from him. In a supernatural world he never thought possible, Enoch uncovers a secret that either will destroy him or force him to become much more than he ever wanted.

Review:

I was so excited to read the new series by Mary Ting and she did not disappoint. Book of Watchers is full of mystery, suspense, drama, mythology, and supernatural creatures. What else could you ask for in a fantasy book?

I haven't read a book by her since I read Crossroads series. This book reminded me again why I love her books. Her writing style just draws you in and engages you in the story completely. I also really liked the characters.

I will admit, initially when I started the book I was a little confused with all the different characters and their connections to each other but I sorted it out as the book progressed. I was pleasantly surprised by the turn of events towards the ending of the book. 

Overall, it was an enjoyable read and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the series!

NOTE: I was provided with an uncorrected ARC in exchange for an honest review, so I'm not really including comments on editing and such.

Review for Kiss Me Like You Mean It by J. R. Rogue

Kiss Me Like You Mean It by J. R. Rogue

Blurb:
My love is poison. His kiss is mine.

“The first time he saw me I was shattered glass, and he was a shadow. If I had stayed, he would have just faded away.”

It’s strange how easy it is to tell our stories to a stranger’s eyes. The truth about Connor Stratford and I had always been a sad tale. Over ten years of chasing, tears, lies, vows, and leaving. Two people who never loved each other at the same time, but couldn’t let each other go.

Now here I was telling our story over drinks midday in an airport bar with my old diary clutched in my hand. Telling some version of our story, anyway.

I left him once with no goodbye. Now I was returning home to give him what he needed to move on.

“It’s important. It’s what you’re thinking.”

I knew what his message meant, sent in the middle of the night after I woke from a fever dream.

He was finally ready, and so was I. I just needed to finally give him the kiss he begged for.
The one that meant goodbye.

Review:
This book, just where do I even start?

I loved J. R. Rogue's poetry book that I had read last year Exits, Desires, & Slow Fires. When I read that she had a novel coming out, I was so excited. Then I saw the cover, and come on you know its absolutely gorgeous. I mean look at it! Now that I've finished the book I love the cover even more. It makes me see how much thought the author has put into the book.

I absolutely loved the writing style. It was so beautifully written that it had me hooked right from the start. I also loved the characters, all broken and flawed in their own way. 

What I loved most about this book was the raw quality that comes across in it. It just reads so well and seems so believable. This book by no means is a happy and fun one. Its messy and tragic and heartbreaking. It forces you to see the ugly side of things and makes you change your perspective. 

And the ending. GODS. I. did. not. expect. that. So well written.

Overall, it was a powerful and raw book that will make you feel. Loved it.

Cover Reveal for Entombed in Glass by Stacey Rourke


Entombed in Glass by Stacey Rourke
Genre: YA Fantasy/ Fairy Tale and Folklore
Cover Designer: NajlaQamber Designs
Publication Date: March 29th, 2018

Blurb: 

Mirror, mirror on the wall.
What’s behind that fated call?
He’s the seer of present, future, and past,
Yet remains a nameless face entombed in glass.


Raised as a servant in the underwater kingdom of Atlantica, Alastor worked his way up to a regal member of the Royal Guard. Only as a decorated soldier did he stand a chance of winning the hand of the woman he’s loved since childhood … Poseidon’s only daughter, Princess Vanessa. But, when the war against humans rages, dark magics are evoked to give the mermen a fighting chance. Temporarily granted legs, they charge from the sea into a doomed battle.

Doing the bidding of his masters as a trusted pawn,
The claims of his loyalty couldn’t be more wrong.

Waking on land, with bodies all around, Alastor’s lone goal becomes returning to the ocean and the only life he’s ever known. A plan that is quickly diverted when Hades, Lord of the Underworld, appears with a twisted agenda all his own. Cast to a land far from the lapping comforts of home, Alastor’s sole companion is a troubled misfit named Sterling that soon comes to depend on him. Trained to be a hero, how far is Alastor willing to go to return to the woman he loves? And can he live with the sacrifices he's forced to make?

Each day he schemes to break free from their thrall, and honor a self-made vow … to kill them all.
