Review: PROMISES by Aleatha Romig!

 

My Review: This is the perfect ending to this series. It just fits so perfectly, and felt so right. And man, it was certainly a journey to get to this point, so thank goodness this was so satisfying. Honestly, I wasn't even sure I would survive everything up to this - I mean, Aleatha Romig made my heart hurt more than once - heck, more than a dozen times! But I made it, and I'm so glad I did.

There is no way for me to discuss the best parts, my favorite parts, without spoiling this book or the previous ones, and I would never do that to someone. There's something so refreshing and shocking about going into this series blind, and I wouldn't want to deprive anyone of that. So just trust me - you need to read this series. Do yourself a favor and get the Web of Sin trilogy onto your kindles (or any other designated reading device) ASAP!!

Cover Lovin': Fits beautifully with the rest of the series.

Recommendation: You *HAVE* to have read the previous two books first, this is a direct sequel.

Final Rating: FIVE out of FIVE stars (5/5)!!! What an epic finale! I think I might go swoon from being all overly emotional now.

Review: SECRETS OF THE STONES, Issue 1 by Sabrina Kidd!



About the Book: A secret worth sharing...

After suddenly awakening, completely alone and with mysterious injuries, Christine has no recollection of who or where she is. She finds herself pursued by dragons, rogue magicians, and an heiress hell-bent on revenge. Through her own instinct and intuition, Christine must try and piece together the story of her life. Who is a friend and who is a foe? Who had she been and who will she become? Sometimes it is only in our most vulnerable moments that we are able to find our true inner strength. [From Amazon.com]

My Review: I love graphic novels, so of course I jumped at the chance to read and review this. And it was definitely a quick and entertaining read. This is only an issue, not a full graphic novel, so it is much shorter than one might expect. And also, for that reason, it's hard to get a full grasp of the story because the more you get into it and the faster you flip through it - the end becomes a pained reminder that you'll have to wait for more.

That said, despite the length, this had a very entertaining and intriguing story. I wanted to know what was going on - it raised questions that had me curious, rather than annoyed like some issues of comics tend to do. And the art is truly beautiful. I love this style, the coloring - I'd gladly keep reading for the art alone, but the story holds its own against it as well.

I also want to throw in how much I appreciate the little shorts at the end. It added a bit of levity and humor right when I was getting a little sad that it was over so soon. Hopefully there will be more to come before long!

Cover Lovin': Very well done, attractive cover.

Recommendation: You'll be eager for the next issue!

Final Rating: THREE POINT FIVE out of FIVE stars (3.5/5)!! A very good start to what seems like it will be an entertaining series, but the length does leave something to be desired.

Release Day: FINDING ALEXEI by Kendall Ryan!

 
He’s bossy, moody, and overprotective. He’s also a pro athlete who needs to focus on winning games and staying out of the headlines. I’m fiercely independent and need a man like I need a second period each month. So when our worlds collide, I never expected him to be the one to jump in and save me. Especially not when my roommate disappears, leaving me with her baby. I’m clueless about babies—and it shows. Good thing Alexei isn’t. With six nieces and nephews and an apparent hero complex, the dude is both sexy and more than capable. It’s a combination that makes it easy to forget we’re just playing house.
