REVIEW: The Alpha's Pack by Tate James

Image
Summary: The time has come... I'm Kit Davenport, and this is the end. Title:   The Alpha's Pack Series:   Kit Davenport Book #:  6 Author:   Tate James Approximate Book Length:   315 Pages Recommended Reader Age:   18+ Sexual Content:   Explicit Thoughts: Oh the darkness. Kit and her faithful Hellhound are definitely not their normal selves. Poor River has so much to struggle with. Kit pulls it together with her guardians and is preparing for the fight to save the world from her own mother. The battle itself was bittersweet. It started out cool, but it ended quickly and strangely – good strange, but strange none the less. The thrilling conclusion to Kit’s story was fine and all, but I’m still left wanting more. I’m definitely going to be looking into more from Tate James and hopefully more from this harem. Bottom Line: Full of tension, anticipation, and edge of your seat action, The Alpha’s Pack satisfies with delic...

REVIEW: The Crow's Murder by Tate James

Image
Summary: Well, I just can't seem to catch a break, can I? I bet none of you saw that coming! Here I am, dealing with the events of the last book. Events I won't elaborate on, because that would be spoilers. But trust me when I say, things will get worse before they get better! I'm Kit Davenport, and my heart is breaking. Title:   The Crow's Murder Series:   Kit Davenport Book #:  5 Author:   Tate James Approximate Book Length:   290 Pages Recommended Reader Age:   18+ Sexual Content:   Explicit Thoughts: This book hurt in so many ways. It’s primarily Wes’s story and it is scary, frustrating, and sad. Poor Kit loses so much and endures excruciating heartbreak. She ends up in a pretty dark place. This is definitely not a book to be read out of order and needs to be read when you are prepared to dive immediately into the next book (and not at midnight when you need to be functional the next morning…not that I did that or anything)...

REVIEW: The Viper's Nest by Tate James

Image
Summary: Betrayal has forced us on the run. Evading the very man I considered my family, the organization I once considered good. In hiding, I need to master my new power and find peace with my bonded guardian--or risk exposure. But my heart can't accept the events that led us here. I need answers. Closure. An olive branch is offered and another trap is sprung. While my relationships grow stronger by the day, new tensions arise and ghosts of my past appear. But can anyone be trusted? I'm Kit Davenport and I didn't see that one coming. Title:   The Viper's Nest Series:   Kit Davenport Book #:  4 Author:   Tate James Approximate Book Length:   382 Pages Recommended Reader Age:   18+ Sexual Content:   Explicit Thoughts: I really enjoyed this book.

REVIEW: The Tiger's Ambush by Tate James

Image
Summary: My quest for answers is what’s led me here. Here, to the edge of civilization where shifters are free from persecution and able to live in peace. Or, at least they were until I arrived. In the aftermath of the trouble I brought, one man holds the answers I seek so desperately. Whether he will part with his secrets, that’s another matter. This world is not what I always thought it to be and someone is doing their best to kill us all; when accidents continue to happen I must consider the possibility that someone I love is setting me up. With the fate of the world at stake, I must face the demons of my past or risk being consumed by them. But this time, I’m not alone. I'm Kit Davenport and this is going to leave a mark. Title:   The Tiger's Ambush Series:   Kit Davenport Book #:  3 Author:   Tate James Approximate Book Length:   368 Pages Recommended Reader Age:   18+ Sexual Content:   Explicit Thoughts: A bunch of stuff goe...

REVIEW: The Dragon's Wing by Tate James

Image
Summary: I should have known my quest for vengeance would eventually be my downfall. I should have been more careful, more paranoid--but I'm glad I wasn't. Who knew that getting caught for my crimes would lead to so much happiness? But joy can be fleeting... It turns out, this battle is only just beginning. With ultimate power on the line, my faceless enemies will stop at nothing to capture me, dead or alive. I need to master my abilities, fast, or this could be the end for someone I care far too deeply about. I'm Kit Davenport and this is going to be a bumpy flight. Title:   The Dragon's Wing Series:   Kit Davenport Book #:  2 Author:   Tate James Approximate Book Length:   290 Pages Recommended Reader Age:   18+ Sexual Content:   Explicit Thoughts: This sequel starts off with fun that leads directly into utter terror.

Summary: In his neighborhood, El Martin stands out, and that can be life-threatening. Against the odds, he’s managed to graduate high school and then master IT. Now he’s desperate to get a good job to free his drunken dad and himself from the control of gang leader M2 and the drugs he sells. But with his piercings and his slang-ridden speech, El looks and sounds like a Bronx gangbanger, and potential employers won’t give him a second look.

But Henry doesn’t tell El the truth, a...

What she didn't expect was how much it felt like home, more than the house she'd lived in her entire life.

Title:   All Foxed Up Series:   The Chaos of Foxes Book #:  2 Author:   Emma Dean Approximate Book Length:   206 Pages Recommended Reader Age:   18+ Sexual Content:   Explicit Thoughts: This one has just as much excitement and chemistry as, if not more than the first one. It starts off with a bang and keeps you riveted from there. I fell even more in love with all the characters and was so invested that I couldn’t pass on diving directly into book three if I’d wanted to. One t...
