The beginning of this book started when our smart, quick-to-get-w-the-program heroine Ryn is saved by her mother's sacrifice so Ryn can get out of the city unharmed. And what does Ryn, queen of deduction and smart choices do?? Runs back so she can hurl her body over her mothers corpse, makes a huge scene in front of the guards that were hunting her, and gets herself captured and imprisoned. The exact thing her mom sacrificed herself to avoid happening. This is about the time I started realizing

To see this review and more, considering taking a peek at my first in series YA book blog hereBlood Oath is a devastating new release written in tandem by Raye Wagner and Kelly St. Claire. It is a must read for fantasy lovers who are looking for intricate characters, a bit of romance, and plot twists of the most delicious kind. I was blessed with an ARC of this precious, and not gonna lie, I went in expecting one thing and got something completely different. Not BAD different, just different. I

FULL HOUSE!Look I am gonna be honest with you I have never read anything like this. Who knew dark fantasy was a thing? Why didn’t I know this 😭?? I SHOULD have known this! Okay, okay, back on track, Josie 🤦🏻‍♀️I was tremendously captivated by this story. The characters were dark, intriguing and so complex. Ryn was so nice to follow. So strong and kind and her sassy comments were to die for. The whole idea behind the Drae and Phaetyns are insanely good. I NEED more of these kind of things ! Becau...

I really liked this. Like way more than I thought I would, for some reason. There's just the right amount of fantasy and humor, blood and romance thrown in. A super quick read if you're in the mood for some dragon-shifter fantasy goodness! Book 2 is out and book 3 will be out soon--for those who worry about that sort of thing (me)--so there's no long wait for a conclusion.

★ ★ 3 Stars ★ ★✰ Initial Thoughts ✰I wasn't really planning on reviewing this book (or writing a long ass review), but after finishing it I couldn't not say something! First things first, Blood Oath is really not as bad as people keep saying. Now the complaints are valid and I share a few of them myself, but that said this book was highly entertaining. However, this stance I'm taking may or may not be highly influenced by the fact that I was assured by Cece (and her review) that book...

2.5 - 3 StarsIt took me a while to get into this book, which is crazy as it has dragons in it. And ya'll know how I feel about dragons... I will pretty much read any book that has them in it.Period. So you can imagine my excitement when I saw that, not only were they in this book, but that they were a central character focus. And yet... The beginning of this book trudged along at what was for me the pace of molasses in winter. There was a lot of torture. Lots of ambiguous "who is actually the ma...

In the interest of full disclosure, for the past month I have been oscillating between fever, cold, sinus infection, and right back to being feverish again so I may have actually hallucinated how amazing this book is. However, I can claim that to my addled mind, this book was done really really well despite my skepticism, I thoroughly enjoyed it.Theme Song for Blood Oath: Change by RM and Walehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rAyp...Blood Oath is about a young woman who has been starving, poor, a...

“Please show her mercy. I’m just the soap queen. I don’t know anything important.” I came for the blurb, stayed for the drama. Blood Oath is definitely not the book I expected it to be and I'm not sure if this is a bad or a good thing. It's dark, twisted, full of gore and tears and moments that'll have you gasping (good thing), but it's also filled with a little too much forced humor (bad thing) and the kind of crowded romance I've only encountered before in the House of Night series (very ba

I caved under the pressure! *wails*I saw this book reviewed by my friend Renatta and she loved it and what with Dragons and the cover and all of that put together it's a no brainer. Now the thing about series and me is, when I think I'm really gonna get deep in the book and it's part of a series, I always check if it's complete or if it's a stand-alone in a series. I don't do incomplete series even if I have to wait only like a month for the last book. My suffering is excruciating. The latter is...

i am amazed it took me this long to discover this story and shocked that only 25 of you guys have this added to your books. so do me a favour and click the 'want to read' button right now. dont let the cover fool you - you wont regret it.i actually feel if this had the right promotion/publishing, it would be wildly popular and successful. and maybe it has and ive just been living under a rock. lol. regardless, im here to spread the word.i had no idea what to expect when i picked this up, and did...

Heavy amount of swearing ahead, because I just can't with the rage this book put me in.DNF at 22%, because life's too short and there are endless awesome books I must discover stillI can't! I'm sorry, I just can't. She's too fucking dumb.What the fuck is this? There's just no way I can read one more page of this bullshit. What the fuck?!  Ok so, I need to calm down!I absolutely loved Kelly St. Clare's Tainted Accords series. It was an awesome fantasy with a capable heroine, wonderful world-build...

Normally when a fantasy-romance book has a 17 year old girl as a main character, I expect it to be kind of light on the torture/deaths front, but man, this book did not hold back. Holy crap. This book was very light (and clean, and a little insta) on the romance front, but dark pretty much with everything else. Some things annoyed me, like the fake news headlines or whatever those were supposed to be that she kept thinking up at random moments. But overall I kept turning the pages, long past whe...

The Darkest Drae is absolutely ridiculous, and not in a good way. Sadly, it reads like a 12 year old writing fanfiction rather then anything worth being published; which sorry to say is probably the reason it's listed on Amazon unlimited rather then by its own merits (Sorry amazon unlimited, there are actually some good authors on there if you can manage to wade through this mess). Believe it or not by summary alone it has everything I could possibly want in a book. Shape shifting hot dragon men...
