whole new level of EMP and Suspense

Reviewed: 05-20-20 Listener received this title free

Such a suspenseful first book. I was gripped from the beginning. Kyla created excellent characters. The plot of a woman escaping her captor during an EMP strike. Is genius.
This is a whole knew level of EMP and horror . I HIGHLY recommend this novel. The narrator did an excellent job for the characters. I hope she is used again.

unexpected time travel

Reviewed: 03-15-20

I read this book as part of my "book club group reads."
The summary of this book had us all REALLY excited about how these passengers survived. The concept as great. The characters are awesome. The immediate chemistry between our main characters caught us a little off guard.
But what else did, the fact that this is a time travel!?!?! That was a plot twist we weren't expecting. Everything that happened in this novel was a shock. But I enjoyed every last bit of it!
I liked how our main characters decided that they were going to fix their mistakes before the happened.
It only goes to show that our future is not written. You control the outcome of your future. So enjoy your life and pray that you leave a legacy.

We all want this demon

Reviewed: 03-15-20

Y'all. This is such a fun book. I fully enjoyed the growth of our Main Character. Her discovery of family secrets...... and the discovery of a summoned demon. Okay, the demon. I want this demon. His "I don't care" attitude is amazing. his lack of empathy is frustrating. And what is his definition of the word "Protect."
I am dying for a second installment. I need more of our human/demon duo.

Hot and steamy quick bite

Reviewed: 03-15-20 Listener received this title free

This is book one for a novella series. I enjoy the characters a lot. And while the vampire theme is must more darker than your typical vampire book.... I wanted more. It was hot and fast paced. Over all quick and leaves you hanging.
Again I will remind you that it's a novella series, so it will be short, but I want them all so I don't have to wait.
Everett is so dark and screams death and danger. Farah is so sweet. I love how she is more relatable than your typical female lead in this kind of subgenre. She is clearly afraid but her curiosity is getting the best of her. Everett hasn't lied to her, he told her up front what will happen, yet she is willing to except that.
The narrator, you can tell it's rough on her voice to do a lower octave for Everett's POV. I think It might have been better if there was a male narrator for Everett, but she does a good job.

A lot going on

Reviewed: 11-25-19

I received this book and was so excited to dive into this. The overall plot, characters and story was great. but there was a little too much going on. The memories bouncing back and forth is confusing at first. Especially since the memories are jumbled around. I loved Val. Such a great character. Her growth along the way was amazing and she was easy to connect with. I felt her emotions through out the book. The author did a really great job.

fun and full of epic scenes

Reviewed: 11-14-19 Listener received this title free

i really enjoyed listening to Cursed by Fire. the characters were well developed and the plot perfect. i connected well with Ari. Love the shifter James, personally team James. I find paranormal a little out of my usual reads but this made me want to jump back in.
I loved the new concept on how the supernatural was brought into the world. I hope we doscover more of how that happened. The author thought this through. She made it to where her audience felt every emotion Ari experienced. The scenes were detailed nicely. Not to much to make it over bearing and not to little to make it jump around.
The cliff hanger though!!!! I need more!!!

fun and adventurous

Reviewed: 07-26-19

I absolutely enjoyed this novel. the characters are well developed and carefully thought about. I loved the mystery surrounding Olivia and her new found history and inheritance.
The development between Olivia and Sam went smoothly, and I routed for them 100%.
I really enjoyed the whole American learning she's English royalty. This was like a dream that every girl has.
The description of the Estate in England is extraordinary. I felt like I was in the Estate itself.
I believe Barbara O'Neal is a new favorite.
