Devyn Quinn charges in full-steam ahead with this introduction into the world of the Kynn. She throws the reader, as well as the heroine, Rachel, directly in line of bad boy Devon right away and with the tension building from the start, you know things are going to heat up.
However, Sins of Flesh has more going on than the title and cover art suggest. Naughty with just a hint of nice sprinkled throughout, Sins of Flesh leaves the reader craving more! Lucky Stiff by Tonia Brown. Library of the Living Dead Press, Peter Lyles is an average eighteen-year-old college student—studious, boring, and bad with girls. While on spring break in New Orleans, Peter accidently overdoses and dies in his hotel room. Peter learns the ways of sex magic from his Voodoo madam.
He reads her books, learns how to keep himself from decaying in the heat, and he has LOTS of sex. Eventually he is sent out into the world to find his own way and build a life. He leaves and has no other contact with them for a long time. Peter travels from place to place for the next few years. After some time he settles down and goes to work for an escort service. Peter likes his new life and stays longer than he planned…he even falls in love. Through all his years he has kept his hunger for flesh at bay. One fateful night, however his past finally catches up with him and he must face his fears.
Tonia Brown has written a pretty good story in Lucky Stiff. Tonia Brown gets huge props for combining great sex and a zombie. Brown brings Peter back as a zombie is extremely imaginative. The climax—no pun intended—of the story is quite unexpected. However I thought the end of the book was just a little too neat. I like my horror messy, inc luding the end. Adult Content Review by Colleen Wanglund. MaryJanice Davidson's 8th installment of the Undead series also known as the Betsy the Vampire series is written from two different perspectives throughout the book.
Half of the book is written directly from Betsy's point of view and the other half is written from the view of Dr. Mark Spangler, who is one of Betsy's roommates. Betsy, her boyfriend Sinclair, their adopted son BabyJon, and her best friend Jessica fly off to Cape Cod at the start of the book to visit the Wyndham Werewolves. They are on a mission to return the deceased body of their fellow werewolf, Antonia, to them.
The Wyndham Werewolves are more accusing than welcoming, as they can't comprehend how one of their own could have died protecting a vampire! Adding to the stress between the werewolves and the vampires is BabyJon. The werewolves seem to be uneasy around him, but Betsy can't fathom why they would be uncomfortable around a baby. It seems there might be a bit more to BabyJon than meets the eye. While Betsy is away, sister Laura, the Antichrist, has a bit of her own "party" going on.
She has sent their friend Tina away, brought in a group of Satan Worshipers, and has even started killing vampires. Mark is doing everything he can to get in touch with Betsy, but unfortunately every time he sends her an e-mail he types it in text messaging shorthand and Betsy can't seem to translate it. Sinclair tries to call Tina to check in after not having heard from Tina in a few days and finds out that their phone service had been cancelled.
It looks like the only way to find out what is going on is to head home, but they can't do that until they resolve the whole "war" with the werewolves on how it is Antonia died. Just your average Betsy week, right? Once again, MaryJanice Davidson has written a light, fun read that the reader will fly right through and that leaves you wanting more. The quirky dialogue is always what I most look forward to in a Davidson book and this one is no different. In this particular book, I think some of the funniest lines were in the emails sent from Mark to Betsy where he was using the text messaging shorthand.
Betsy was having a lot of trouble figuring them out, but it was fun sorting them out. I mean, come on I am definitely ready to see what happens next with BabyJon and Laura so would like to have had a longer book in that sense, but it'll be well worth the wait for number nine! MaryJanice Davidson's books are always a joy to read and are usually a one or two sitting read. I just can't put them down! Jonas, Fred's best friend, who insists on dragging her around to help plan his wedding, which Fred hates! And to make matters worse, her boyfriend, Prince Artur, proposes to her! Now Jonas is all excited at the prospect of planning a royal wedding for her.
Can things get any worse? This is Fred we're talking about. Of course they can! Thomas Pearson, marine biologist, and the guy Fred chose over Artur. Fred's long-lost father, Farrem, who she has never met and who all the other sea folk think is their worst enemy. How's a girl supposed to cope with everyone in such close quarters It's a shame that this is the end of the series, as I have really enjoyed the characters in this trilogy.
Get A Copy
Davidson definitely could have continued on with this series a while longer as there is much more potential, so I'm hoping that more will come from these characters in spin-off stories somewhere down the road. Dialogue is definitely Davidson's strongest suit and this book is filled to the brim! Jonas had some of the quirkiest lines in the book and Fred's foul mouth makes me think of times I want to say something to and don't.
I admire her for being so outspoken. She is never afraid to speak her mind, and that shows in this book, as she spoke up to several of the head people, including her own father. It's amusing as well, as they all tend to just laugh at her when she goes off on a tirade instead of getting angry with her. I'll miss hearing about Fred, but I did like the way that Davidson ended this book. I thought it was a good finish. I think all readers of the paranormal romance genre will enjoy this fun, fast-paced read. In Kate Douglas' latest release in the Wolf Tales series, we learn about the lives of six young, new, Chanku.
In the beginning of the book they are split up. Three of them go to stay with Ulrich and Millie in Colorado and the others stay with Anton Cheval and his pack in Montana. A chunk of the book takes place in Montana where there is still a fear that, after the attacks from book seven, all is not quite "right". When an intruder is discovered and identified, will the Chanku give the person time to explain the reasoning for spying on them, or will they just go ahead and kill them?
In the meantime, in Colorado, who is really teaching whom more, the elders or the new youth? This book was a "growth book" for all intents and purposes, and a lot of lessons were learned by both old and new Chanku. I can't wait to see what Douglas will have in store for us with future releases in this fabulous series. A dream sequence featuring Anton Cheval starts off this seventh. In his dreams, he is in capable of moving and calling out for help yet he realizes that both his mate, Keisha, and his daughter, Lily, are in trouble.
Sensing his struggle within his dream, Keisha wakens him and offers him comfort, but Anton chooses not to tell her about the dream in order to avoid worrying her. He is unsure if it is just a recurring dream for him or if it is a premonition, but soon attacks on the Chanku start, and Anton starts taking the dreams more seriously.
He calls all the Chanku together, thinking that united as one they might be able to figure out who is behind the attacks and stop them. Douglas has developed some very sympathetic and likable characters throughout the series, and readers who have grown attached to them may find this book difficult to read.
I don't want to say any more than that for fear of spoiling the book for future readers, but it was an extremely emotional read and showed another area of writing that Douglas excels at. She stumbles into an old friend, Mei Chen, who is in a bit of trouble, and decides to help her out. The experience leads Eve to believe that Mei might be Chanku, though something seems a bit "off". Missing her packmates and wanting help with Mei, she calls "home" for help. Adam, the man she left behind, as well as Oliver, jump at the chance to come see Eve again, not knowing that there is another woman in the picture.
Of course, Oliver is more than ecstatic to meet Mei when they reach Florida. Adam and Oliver agree that they are picking up something different about Mei though. Is she really Chanku? If so, what is it about her that makes her stand out from the rest of the pack? Kate Douglas does a great job at building compelling characters.
Adam is one intense guy! This particular book has some jaw-dropping moments. I really wasn't expecting where Douglas went with Mei Chen's character at all. Let's just say, this book was very full of surprises! Readers will enjoy being able to absorb themselves in the magical world of Wolf Tales VI. It would be amazing to be surrounded by people like the characters in her books every day. But, since that obviously isn't going to happen, I will count on Kate Douglas to keep my fantasies rolling.
Here, two more women are added into the mix, Manda and Millie. Scarred from the cruel treatment she has endured in her past, she fears being around others, not knowing how they will treat her. Baylor Quinn, feeling lost without a mate of his own, takes it upon himself to seek Manda out in hopes of helping her. While Baylor is off on his "mission", Ulrich Mason is off on one of his own.
Anton Cheval has requested that he seek out a woman by the name of Millie West, who he believes is Chanku, and help her make the transition to wolf. He thinks that Ulrich is the only one to do it and that this could possibly be a new mate for him. Can Ulrich finally move past his wife's death and take a new mate? I loved the way Baylor explained everything to her and how she was so shy and naive. It was like he was talking to a child the whole time rather than a grown woman.
It truly was a magical story between the two of them and I was happy that Baylor got his "happy ever after". Overall, this was a very powerful book, as it had a lot of depth and emotion to it. Douglas made a lot of connections between characters that I wasn't expecting and had a lot of surprise twists. The series just keeps getting better and better! Lisa resides in Colorado and works at a wolf sanctuary. At this particular sanctuary, wolves have been turning up missing and Lisa's boss has been pointing the finger at her, because he has seen her out late at night in areas she shouldn't be in just looking at the wolves.
She can't tell him, but the reason she is out there is because she feels close with the wolves. Once Tinker gets to town he helps her understand the attachment she has to the wolves. Tinker and Lisa, with the help of Pack Dynamics, a Chanku Detective agency, solve the case of the missing wolves. This is the most action-packed book in the series yet. There are lots of subplots, and Douglas comes from all angles with little plot twists and surprises to keep readers on their toes. I was on the edge of my seat for quite a while in this book, not knowing how the wolves were going to escape when they were "caged" at one point.
It was very suspenseful! I was also really happy to see Tinker finally find himself a mate in this book after being the "third wheel" in previous books within the series. I know he was greatly loved by the others in his pack, but he was missing that extra special bond between mates. I love how Douglas keeps the balance flowing between erotic scenes and the rest of the storyline. Readers will also appreciate how she keeps adding onto the storyline without using awkward flashbacks to provide background.
At the beginning of this novel, Shannon has a male visitor over who is about as boring as a wet noodle in bed. She excuses herself to take a shower, while hinting that he shouldn't be there when she comes back. Luckily for her, Jake pulls up and sees her attackers smuggling her into their vehicle. He is able to knock them out and steal her away from them, and their wild adventure begins, with Shannon wrapped in nothing but a blanket, knowing nothing of Jake Trent but his name.
The first scene in this book had me rolling with laughter as it brought back memories of past experiences I've had in life. It was definitely a memorable scene in the book and I have to give kudos to Kate Douglas for that chuckle straight away. Going beyond that, yet again, she has kept my interest piqued tremendously with this series. Not only are new characters introduced to and intermingled with the previous cast, but there is one character that comes into play in this book that you wouldn't expect to be Chanku at first, but it's a pleasant surprise and actually quite a powerful addition to the Chanku.
Eleanor still had her smart mouth and I enjoyed reading her brash comments. Daniel and Eleanor become really close during their time together.
It was nice to see Eleanor come to the realization of what she gives up being involved with a priest and how she can't have her lover freely like she could with a man like Daniel. Another perfect tiny glimpse into the lives of Ms. Reisz's main players is what these short novellas gives the readers.

A Quick, Captivating Read! I've been wanting to begin this series for quite a while now and finally, just dived in. This short, prequel novella focuses on the events of a single week. During this week, Eleanor's master has "loaned" her to his friend, Daniel. Begrudgingly, Eleanor agrees to spend a week with this stranger, who has been celibate for the three years since the death of his wife.
In no time, the relationship between the two heats up. I have to admit that I struggled with the idea of Eleanor just submitting to being loaned out between these two guys so casually, like a power tool or something. That whole concept is just bizarre to me. I guess I wouldn't make a good submissive, because there's no way in hell that would have ever happened.
So, I'm still struggling to wrap my head around such a foreign notion. Aside from the fact that I seemed to struggle more with Eleanor's weeklong fate more than she did, the story was great. I was surprised at how intimate and emotional the relationship between Daniel and Eleanor was, in such a short span of time. Talk about evolving quickly! However, it never felt forced or rushed and the storyline progressed at a good pace. I cannot wait to begin the next book in the series and am hoping that I'll be seeing more of these two. This novella was incredibly hot and has left me wanting more of this story.
If the rest of this series is half as good as this short prequel was, then I'm in for a treat! View all 4 comments. I've read and reviewed this before but I've since read The Siren and The Angel and know Eleanor so much better, I felt the need to go back and revisit. Daniel is a reclusive, widowed dominant who has been grief-stricken and living the life of a hermit since the death of his wife and submissive. She is at first a real bitch to Daniel but she soon submits to his will - he is quite clearly a commanding dom.
They spend a week having sex and re-organising his impressive library. Eleanor will always go back to him and Daniel will leave his self-imposed exile from the world. This novella take place some considerable time before the events of The Siren but I highly recommend you read it after The Siren. It meant so much more to me the second time around.

I'll be honest I would never have picked this book from the blurb I just don't like the idea of someone being given to another for a week but it worked. This was so much more than the quick smut read I was expecting and apart from one eye watering scene I really enjoyed it. Eleanor is a trained submissive and when her master goes away for the week he loans 3. Eleanor is a trained submissive and when her master goes away for the week he loans her to his friend Daniel for seven days.
Eleanor isn't happy with the arrangement but what can she do? I didn't like the loan or Eleanor's master because he would do that I also didn't like that Eleanor just went along with it. But I found myself hooked and loving it, it totally worked, I liked Daniel and Eleanor together and this book turned out to be more than I expected, much more. Sep 12, Sarah rated it it was amazing.

However , I strongly suggest that you read at least The Siren first, to get the full impact of her character and this story. You really need to know where Nora is in her life now, to understand what came before, in my opinion.
My heart bled for him and Nora is just what he needs to move on to live and once again. She brings him back to life. It is sensual, passionate and Daniel's grief o Excellent!!!

It is sensual, passionate and Daniel's grief over his wife's death, was quite evident with his words and actions, and as heart-breaking as it was, it was lovely to see. Til death do us part Although the sexual interactions with Nora are enjoyable to read, and only done as Tiffany Reisz can do, it's the time that they spend talking , particularly in the library, that made this book so special. For a short read, it was immensely satisfying!

Now Nora has come along to hopefully get him to start to live again. She forgot her name, forgot where she was This was a fantastic prequel to The Original Sinners series. At first I thought it was too short, but the more I think about it, if it was any longer, I would have fell more for Daniel and Nora as a couple. I was not expecting to feel emotions for this character, when the book was only a few pages long. Yes, I got teary eyed while reading. Even though this is a 0.
In my opinion, I would not read in its chronological order. I liked knowing what was going on in the latter books before I tackled this one. I highly recommend reading this if you are a fan of The Original Sinners series. It's quick, yet very deep. It made me love Nora even more. View all 18 comments.

It's a sheer act of bravery to write in these themes and Ms. Reis Unique, unique, unique! Reisz does it like its the most natural thing in the world. As dark or irreverent as it may seem, the writing doesn't feel manipulated. This is no adrenaline kick for the author.
This is no act of rebellion. The is remarkable and poignant storytelling. While my intellect was piqued and my body was seduced, my belly was gently laughing. I effing loved this reading experience.
