Wolf of Ashes (Dark Magic Shifters 1) – ARC Review

/ booknerdtassi / Leave a comment

Rating: 4 out of 5.
His dark crown will be mine.
My mother was imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit. She was locked away in darkness, never to see light again. I was born into that darkness, that perpetual night. I learned to survive without sunlight and to thrive on the scraps that were thrown to me.
All because someone didn't want me to claim my birthright.
Now I'm free. And I'm coming for what's mine.
I'll go deep into the nightmares of an empire built on blood and bones to find the man whose name my mother couldn't utter.
A beast who stole my place among supernaturals.
I'll do whatever it takes to slice his empire apart, piece by little piece.
Even if it means making a deal with a man whose thirst for vengeance exceeds my own. A broken king. The darkest of them all.
In return for his power, he wants more from me than I can give.
He wants my heart.
Content information: Wolf of Ashes is a dark paranormal romance, the first in the Dark Magic Shifters series. Recommended reading age is 18+ for sex scenes, mature themes, violence, and language. Ends on a cliffhanger.
Tropes include: supernatural mafia, enemies to lovers, secret identity, fated mates, wolf shifters, dragon shifters, and Norse mythology.

Wolf of Ashes (Dark Magic Shifters 1) by Everly Frost

Hey Ramblers!

Everly is coming at us with another new series (or technically spin-off prequel series) that I think most urban fantasy lovers will be dying for!! I’ll be honest, this one did take me a decent amount of time to truly get me in and I’m honestly not sure why that was but it was a good 60% before I was fully grabbed…but don’t take this to mean that the moments before this point weren’t good, I just might’ve needed more time to sink into this new story! Towards the end, I was lost inside of the budding story and now I really need more information and to see where it all goes! It just came bursting to life at that end point!

A Sky Like Blood (Kingdom of Betrayal 1) by Everly Frost

Ohhh my words I knew I needed this book but I didn’t truly know how much I would crave it! Jokes on me right? coz should’ve figured that one out with Everly. But of late I’ve been struggling to be truly snagged and captivated by a book and this book did all that for me. I’m not even kidding. This series is going to be a new favourite. I just know it.

A Dragon’s Wolf (The Hidden Realm 1) – ARC Review

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

A Dragon’s Wolf (The Hidden Realm 1) by Heather Renee

Some things are better left unknown.

Dawsyn
All my life I’d been nothing more than the alpha’s daughter. After twenty-two years of that existence, I finally leave my pack, intent to figure out who I am.

Except a week into my newfound freedom, I discover that dragon shifters exist. Not only that, but the first one I stumble upon turns out to be my mate. One I don’t want and never asked for.

It’s not like Cillian is bad on the eyes or that I’m repulsed by his grumpy demeanor. In fact, everything about him is rather…appealing. He just wasn’t part of the plan.

Cillian
The realm I call home is under attack and things are only getting worse as the weeks pass. When I decide to do something about that, I get more than I bargained for.

I get Dawsyn Chase.

A wolf shifter with a bite as vicious as her words that also happens to be my fated mate. She’s a distraction I intend to stay away from, but when the world demands otherwise… It could be more than our bond at stake if we’re not careful.

Savage Bond (Den of Shadows 2) – ARC Review

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Savage Bond (Den of Shadows 2) by J.N. Colon

The hunter becomes the hunted. And trusting an enemy is the only way out…

Betrayed and sold to the highest bidder, I’m now a demon lord’s captive. Instead of chains and torture, the alluring nightworlder makes me an offer I can’t refuse.

He’ll break my bond with Fane Maverick.

Dark, twisted, and brutal…I crave Fane as much as I hate him. And he’s promised to ruin me for anyone else.

But as luck would have it, the savage demon shifter is the only one who can tame my deadly beast, and when our past returns to haunt us, we’re forced together again.

If our enemies find out what’s hiding inside of me, neither one of us stands a chance at surviving.

While Nightworld’s fate rests in my hands, mine dangles on the tip of Fane’s tattooed, talon-tipped fingers.

Gaaah I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for this book and I finally got to read and devour it! And boy did I love every second of this crazy journey that now awaits you guys! So are you ready?!

A Court of Debt and Deception (Shadowguard Trials 1) by Samantha Britt

Hey, hey Ramblers!! Welcome to my first ARC read of the year and daaaang was it one that I LOVED and completely DEVOURED!! I was more than a little sad to see this book come to an end.

There was so much to love about this book and I can’t express how much I loved falling back into the Shadowguard world. I remember when the first one came out in 2019? I was lucky enough to get my hands on the ARC of that one too and I just adored how Samantha wrote. Since then, I’ve fallen into each one of her worlds and loved them all. Her writing style and ability to weave a story has always had a way of catching my attention and holding it. And this new series is no different. I can’t tell you how fast I fell in love with the main character, Andie. She’s one you just can’t help but connect with and love. Then add in the other characters and don’t forget about the plot, it’s just the icing on the cake.

Wolfed: Cursed By Love (Wolfed 1) by Leia Stone

Heyoh Ramblers! I hope you are all doing well and keeping out of mischief and staying sane? I have to admit my brain has been haywire and all over the place. Definitely keeping out of mischief, but I dunno about the sane part 😆. Life has been crazy. My body has decided it doesn’t want to play by any rules and is just here there and everywhere, with what it throws at me of late. So much fun aye. 😆

But let’s forget a bit about life for a little while yeah. And this is a great book to do that with. When I say this book dives right in…I mean. Right. In. So if you ask me…

Holy flippin’ Fae wine. That. That was the most adrenaline-pumping, emotionally-stirring, edge of your seat worthy read. And I’m sad to see some of my fav character’s story come to a close…but seriously exceptional read. It was all tied up so perfectly (well outside of the fact that it ended lol…but we can’t have everything, now can we?) And since nothing can really meet the energy of the kid from Incredibles, this gif feels hella appropriate for this book.

Midnight Moon (Alpha Games 1) by Samantha Britt

I absolutely loved so much about this book and the only reason I’m setting it at this score, is because I just know it’s going to get so much better. So it feels wrong, marking it as a 5…because then, in my opinion, it doesn’t show the story’s growth to its fullest. Hence I’m gonna stick with this rating…but my words! You guys have to read this book! If you love Shifter and bonded mates you’ll gobble this one up like you’ve been deprived of your favourite chocolate cake. And you’ll eat it all up without a worry for your safety because nothing else will matter.

G’day my fellow Ramblers. How are you all doing? I hope everyone is managing okay and enjoying the book worlds and their oh so sweet escape. I know I have been using them for this very purpose. Life is playing a crazy game of dodgeball with me and I am not a fan of it lol.

See it’s a very hazardous lifestyle -I’m with the onlooking blonde girl flinching lol

Vampire Vow (Scorned by Blood 3) – ARC Review

/ booknerdtassi / Leave a comment

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well I’ll be damned. I didn’t think Heather could outdo herself like this but daaaang she did. Whilst my emotions are still on the rollercoaster ride that is this story. This is an easy 5 stars to give. A story that can make you feel so strongly and has you blaming onions for your stingy eyes deserves all the stars. Wouldn’t you agree?

So whilst cutting my non existing onions (shh don’t tell nobody that)…I needed a minute to just be like how could you do me like this Heather?! And whilst I’m still all aboard that train I love the fact that she can mess with my emotions so easily. So whilst I’m holding a teensy bit of a grudge against her currently… I love her and the amazing journey this book is. It really is a book about finding your people, your home and that with them you can get through anything. Which warmed my heart so much. Our dear Amersyn started off with nobody and as the series progresses you see her let people in and that’s such a beautiful thing to watch bloom. People accepting you for who you are and making you the best version of yourself. Beautiful. No, no I’m not gonna cry.

This book was just incredible. The characters (oh the characters!) I adored them. So relatable and loveable. The story development and growth was something I truly loved experiencing. It took me a little to get fully invested in this series world but once Heather got her claws into me, I was a complete goner. I truly think this could be some of Heather’s best works yet. I know right?! You’d think that was impossible. But with every story this girl releases, she herself shows so much growth. And I’m here for it all. 😍

With everything coming to a head, the final battle is nigh and players are bringing their all. So be prepared for anything.…anything. It’s time for Amersyn and her friends to take down Viktor and his nest once and for all. With plot twists and turns, expect the unexpected folks. And even then you’ll probably still get shocker punched (I spelt it wrong for a reason lol).

This book I would definitely recommend reading. So do yourself a favour and add it to the list. You guys can thank me later 😉. This book releases on the 20th January but if you want to read now the paperback just went live. (Find here —> Vampire Vow)

Thank you so much Heather for providing me with the ARC of this incredible mind-blowing journey. As always it’s a pleasure being apart of your team, even when you are a little bit evil. 😜 I can’t wait for others to read this awesome story you created.

Anywho, I’m gonna leave it at that and am going to find myself some chocolate to eat now lol. I know I’m complaining but my heart hurts. You’ll understand. But I did very much (or vermicelli as my autocorrect wanted to say lol) like how their story was wrapped up! I’m curious to see what more Heather has in store for us in the MM world.

Til next time. Happy reading Ramblers! 🤍

Ps my computer has decided to move on to its next life (RIP you had a good life!)….so whilst my reviews for a time will be lacking the gifs I hope they still get across my real feels.

Holy flamin’ mushrooms on toast! This was so torturously perfect! 😍 …if I wasn’t already obsessed with this series this book would’ve done it for me. So much so, I think Jena might be starting to regret her beyond awesome-saucy talents…and now everytime I message her she’s probably thinking…

But girl it’s out of my control. You stuck with me now 😂, an Aussie is a hard thing to shake…after-all you only have to look at all the possible dangers we might have to face for the day 🤣🤣🤣… so the worst you can do is kill me off in your story. So I’m pretty okay with that lol. 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

Holy dang demon babies!

I just, really, thoroughly enjoyed this unique and utterly intriguing story that’s being woven right in front of me. So girls, just keep doing what you’re doing because I’m here for all the crazy and wonderful worlds your brains can create. So just keep doing what you do best. And don’t change a thing. 💖😍

And we all know how I loved Demi and Sawyers’ story. But there was just something else about this one and I was pulled in even faster.

Midnight Truth (Shifter Island 4) by Leia Stone & Raye Wagner

Okay, so I’m going to be honest here and say health is truly 100% kicking me around, so this isn’t going to quite like my usual rambles. Pain is high, sleep has been even worse than my usual, and my heads been woozy and out of it…fun times lol. I’m really struggling to pull words from my brain. It’s like pulling teeth without the right equipment. Painful and deeply ineffective. So I’m sorry about that. Please don’t think my lacking words is a bad thing for the book…but let’s move on to more important things…

Awww my sweet shifter heart 😍🥰. The finale for Nai and Rage’s story is just absolutely perfect. I honestly, loved how Leia and Raye wrapped this world up. That ending…and how everything was fixed has my heart all happy. Couldn’t have imagined it any better. My little inner self is totally happy crying right now. But there’s plenty of sad tears too…coz I don’t think I was even a little ready for it to end.

🐺 Cover Reveal! 🐺

/ booknerdtassi / Leave a comment

Eeek, I’ve been so, so excited about sharing information about this book and the time has finally come! Guys, this is a book you have got to make time for. I’ve beta read this book and it’s AHHH-MAZING!! So calling all Shifter and Paranormal Romance lovers …this is going to be right down your alley. But to be honest, it’s a book that’ll speak to most book lovers, just sayin’….because who doesn’t love an angsty, rejected mates shifter book, with intriguing worlds? Count. Me. In. 😍

But first let’s share this gorgeous cover for Heather’s newest upcoming book. Wolf Kissed.

Wolf Kissed releases the 22nd of April and is now ready for preorder!! Yaaaas! You definitely want to #oneclick your copy ASAP!

Preorder: smarturl.it/WolfKissed

Blurb:
Fighting fate isn’t for the weak.

Cait
I am many things, but a supernatural being is not one of them. At least until a crescent mark appears on my wrist and everything changes. I’ve been marked by a wolf goddess, yet no one knows what that means, myself included.
On top of that, I find out my best friend is a werewolf and her pack alpha is my supposed mate. Just like that my future is decided—unless I find a way out.

Roman
When fate sends a human mate my way, I’m certain it has to be a mistake. An alpha is supposed to have an equal at his side. Cait might be strong in her own ways, but what she is makes her an easy target in my world.
Regardless, Cait is mine to protect and I have every intention of showing her this is where she belongs—in my pack, by my side.

This is a dual POV wolf shifter series. It features a strong willed, not-so-human leading lady and a fierce yet loyal alpha who is determined to win her heart—no matter how many times she might reject him. If you love books by Leia Stone, Heather Hildenbrand, and Patricia Briggs, then be ready to devour this new series!

Reborn (Shadow Beast Shifters 3) by Jaymin Eve

Gah, I can’t even. I. Can’t. Even. Seriously guys. This is the absolute best! I stupidly thought I was prepared for literally anything but…alas, I really wasn’t. There is no way to prepare for this, at all. This book had me coming, going and ranging from so many different emotions, that half the time…I probably wouldn’t be able to narrow it down to just one emotion; because I was feeling the whole kit and caboodle. It’s a story that will have you feeling all the feels and sorry, but you cannot escape it…that ball of emotion will chase you down.

it gave me a chortle using this as my first gif lol…coz Mera and Indiana Jones 😆

Who’s ready for round two, in Lost Girl? This story just got better. I’m rating it a 4.8 ⭐️ but I’ll just mark it as 5 since rounding up and all that haha. But oh boy, how seriously unaware and unprepared I was for this book. I loved it so much more than Wolf Girl. The intensity level spikes a fair amount in this one, which I really loved…and downtime? What even is that? It’s an unknown term in this book lol…If it’s not one thing, it’s most definitely something else. And then this ↓ equals me.
