Review: Silent Threat
By : KSilent Threat by Dana MartonMy rating: 4 of 5 starsAmazon FREE (Kindle Unlimited)
Non Spoiler quick thoughts:
I loved the first encounter between H/h. I can't recall the last author who hooked me they way this first meeting between H/h did.
I liked the mystery bad guy. Why? Because until the reveal I was not sure who it was. The author wove that part of the bad guy really well. I was nervous for heroine on multiple occasions and actually felt the danger she was in.
How did I feel about the relationship between H/h overall? At times I loved, hated and was just okay with it. I thought the Hero was well hot and the Heroine was the one who had to grow on me. I started this book reading along to the audio version but the narrator seemed to drag things on and sometimes the way things were read seemed cringey. In text form it was much less mother earth preachy.
The ending?
Well honestly I expected more. I wasn't unhappy with the ending but I was left a little disappointed because of how things were built up between the H/h.
Overall it is still a really good book that is worth reading.

Still Not Into You by Nicole Snow
By : K
I am torn about rating this book because I like the idea and the author, but I did not really enjoy this story. The writing style was hard for me to get into and I kept waiting for the story to pick up its pace and the action to start going but it never truly did. Plus the conclusion of the mystery to me was lackluster. And two military trained people were surprised by this person? Really?!... I just don't believe it. I liked Gabe and his teddy bear persona but often felt that Sky was portrayed too bitchy and unnecessarily hard. This also sometimes left me having empathy towards Gabe but feeling he was slightly emasculated in instances. I'd say skip it because it has been done before and better.

Review STYXX by Sherrilyn Kenyon
By : K
Purchase Links : Amazon Barnes & Noble
Lets skip the intro and cut right to the chase. Styxx was a DNF for me.
Initially I was enthralled by Sherrilyn Kenyon's ability to make me feel Styxx's pain so vividly. She made me want to cry for him. Protect him. But the pace of the story coupled with all of Styxx's pain, misery & torture became too much for me. I can count on one hand the amount of times I have gave up on reading a book and up until now Sherrilyn Kenyon has never been on that short list. But 100% honesty I could not get past how vividly she made me feel all of the bad that happens in the beginning. It was too much for me. Maybe one day I will be able to finish the book, but I doubt it will be anytime soon. And if I do pick this book up again I know to read it in parts instead of binge reading like I normally do.
While I personally wouldn't recommend this book I do know a few people who think that this book is one of Sherrilyn Kenyon's best work so I chose to include purchase links above so you could see for yourself. This is the first time I was every let down by Ms. Kenyon so it is in no way, shape or form going to stop me from picking up any of her other works.
