4/5⭐

A wickedly seductive new series with a ruthless, jaded elf and a bewitching human hiding a powerful secret—unlikely soulmates whose passion will test the boundaries of life and death.

Nothing could make Yasmin return to Shaldorn, the place of nightmares. But when she’s caught stealing, she’s given an ultimatum: take Ravi over the Dangerous Peaks to the stronghold or face imprisonment.

She has no choice but to agree, though she intends to escape the elf as soon as she reaches the mountains. Yet, as they battle nature itself, the two enemies find common ground—and an all-consuming passion.

Can they prevail in their dangerous heist, or be torn apart by a betrayal?

My Review
In the beginning, I felt that the main characters were very boring and very bland. It took quite a while to get to know them and for me to feel that I was invested and interested. We get to follow Ravi and Yasmin on a very dangerous mission. They are brought together against their will and it takes a very long time for them to get used to and accept each other. Halfway through the book and I was hooked! I was hooked on the characters, the plot was very good. The atmosphere between our two main characters just got better and better. The tension between them just kept increasing!

The plot consists mostly of Yasmin and Ravi getting from one place to another. Along the way, various obstacles and challenges appear that they have to overcome. Yasmin was forced to come on the journey with Ravi because she's the only one that know how to get both in and out of the place. The book consists very much of traveling, which may not me for everyone. I'm intrigued and really want just want more, where it all will take them!

The book has relatively short chapters which makes the book very easy to read. It was a really fast read! I had a hard time putting the book down once I got invested enough. 

I love the tension that has formed between the main characters and I just want more! Im so intrigued about what will happen in future books and I am so looking forward to continuing to follow Yasmin and Ravi.

Review: Blood Mercy by Vela Roth

Image
Blood Mercy by Vela Roth My rating: 4 of 5 stars One human. One immortal. Will their alliance save the kingdom, or will their forbidden love be a death sentence? When Cassia seeks out a Hesperine, he could end her mortal life in a heartbeat. But she has no fear of his magic or his fangs. She knows the real monster is the human king, her father. If he finds out she’s bargaining with his enemy, he’ll send her to the executioner. As a Hesperine diplomat, Lio must negotiate with mortals who hate him. Cassia is different, but politics aren't why she captivates the gentle immortal. He wants more than her blood, and if he can’t resist the temptation, he’ll provoke the war he's trying to prevent. I liked this book, however, the pace was a bit too slow to maintain my interest, it took a long time for me to get through the book. It took a long time for the book and the plot to get going. After about 250 pages, the action took off. This book also offere...

En del kommer det en man dit som vill ha hennes hjälp att laga sin android. Cinder hjälper honom gärna med det men vad hon inte visste var att det var självaste prinsen som kom och bad henne om hjälp. Samtidigt sker det en katastrof i byn, pesten bryter ut och många blir drabbade och många dör. Personal i det kungliga forskningscentret jobbar för fullt för att kunna hitta ett botemedel. Under tiden blir Cinder utsatt för många prövningar! Kan hon hjälpa till? Eller ska hon bara rymma? Om jag ska vara ärlig så hade jag lite svårt för denna bok. När jag läst ungefär halva så kände jag mest bara för att strunta i den. Sen tänkte jag att eftersom att jag ändå har läst så pass mycket som jag hade så bestämde jag mig för att läsa klart den. Och tur var väl det! Andra halvan av boken var bet...

Bookreview: Dark Heart by Donna Grant

  Title:  Dark Heart Author:  Donna Grant Series:  Elven Kingdoms Series, Book 2 Publisher:  DL Grant, LLC Release Date:  November 12, 2024 ISBN/ASIN:   B0CWX5Q9RP Format:  Kindle, E-ARC Book Pages: 406 4/5 ⭐ Deepest passion. Darkest betrayal. Once, she was my world. The only one I loved. Then it was all ripped away—including my freedom. Vengeance kept me alive. It paved every step, shaped every plot. Until I finally caught her. I learned that line between love and hate is wafer-thin. Where once my dreams were filled with revenge, now that I have her, all I think about is the intoxicating passion we once shared. But there’s no turning back the events her capture has set into motion. It unravels a carefully constructed world, one where enemies surround me. Everyone, that is, except her. Now, we only have each other—and the love that once united us, to fight our way to long-buried truths that will change everything. (From Goodreads) My Review T...
