Darkest Heart by Juliette Cross- 5+ Stars [arc review]

This is my favorite work by Juliette Cross so far. Dommiel was a hard demon not to fall in love with...

Are you looking for a great paranormal romance? You have found it!

Darkest Heart may be a romance story, but it is also a lot more than that. It is a story of redemption and forgiveness. We all make mistakes, and we can all bounce back. In this case, starting with our demon Dommiel.

Dommiel is considered a traitor to both kinds, a fallen angel, and a traitor to demons. He has a very dark view on life and a cocky know it all attitude to go with it.

Then he is pared with miss goody two-shoes in a mission to find a missing angel. It was hilarious and heart warming at once. He is a traitor, he acts as if he cares for nothing. And yet, no one better dare touch 'his' sweet angel.

And as Anya gets to know him, so do we. It soon becomes very clear there is more to Dommiel than first meet the eye, things are not black and white and Dommiel falls very much in the 'grey' category of things...

Anya is a walking contradiction, she is both one of the most sweet and innocent characters I have read in a while and a fierce warrior no one should cross. And just when you are about to roll your eyes and go 'another perfect little girl' protagonist she does something that will shock you. It shocked her too. Dommiel was the only one to think it natural! LOL

Their romance was slow burning, there was an immediate attraction for sure but they both had their reasons to at least try to keep away.

The plot was also very well written, there was a natural flow to it. I wish I had read her other series before hand because some of the secondary characters clearly have a history. That being said I didn't feel like I missed anything, there was enough on them to make the story complete, it just made me want to know more. Which I suppose if you are trying to sell your books is not a bad thing at all!

Last but not least I loved how all Dommiel physical flows were written in such a positive light. He was not depressed because he was missing an eye, or angry because his hand was not a human hand. He just was. He made no excuses for it, had no shame because of it. I thought that was awesome! It doesn't bloody matter how he looked, he was imperfectly perfect.

Darkest Heart, Juliette Cross

Promises and Pomegranates (Monsters & Muses #1) by Sav R. Miller

I was very excited about this read. The reviews are good, the people recommending it were people whose recommendations I have liked in the past. And in the end, at did like this one. But I will confess from the start that Promises and Pomegranates did not blow me away. Blurb: Elena To most, Kal Anderson is a villain. Harbinger of death, keeper of souls, frequenter of nightmares. Doctor Death. Hades incarnate. They say he stole me. Usurped my fiancé and filled the cracks in my heart with empty promises. Imprinted his crimson fingerprints on my psyche and tried to set me free. They’re not wrong, per se. Except it was my choice to stay. Kal To most, Elena Ricci is an innocent. Goddess of springtime, lover of poetry, angel of my nightmares. Little one. Persephone personified. They say I ruined her. Shattered her virtue and devoured her soul like a succulent pomegranate. Embedded my evil as deep as I could possibly get and tried to set her free. They’re not wrong, per se. Except it was...

Crow and Reaper by A. Zavarelli (Boston Underworld #1 and #2)

Crow and Reaper by A. Zavarelli (Boston Underworld #1 and #2) @glimpses_of_my_books These books are (to me at least) two VERY different books and the reason you should never give up on an author after just one book. I did not like Crow one tiny bit. But I absolutely loved Reaper . One is a 1 star, while the other is a 4... Let's start with the good first, Reaper . Ronan is likely to break your heart. Throughout the book we get snippets of his past, accounts of everything he had to go through before Crow and his mother find him and save him from the horrible life he was leaving. In a way, although I wasn't a fun of Crow in the first book, his love and care for Ronan had made me like him a little better. Ronan is not quiet, moody, and broody by choice. It is a consequence of all the things he has been through, the things I mentioned above that will break your heart... He is caring and loving, but he has no idea how to put those things in action. He is, in a way, one of the mo...

Cruel Prince (Royal Hearts Academy #1) by Ashley Jade

Continuing with my newest obsession, bully romance, we now have Jace. Insufferable, hateful, vengeful Jace. Blurb: I never thought I'd step foot in Royal Manor again. But four years later, here I am... back to finish my senior year at Royal Hearts Academy. And forced to face Jace Covington. My first friend. First crush. First kiss. The one I left behind. Only—he isn't the same boy I gave my heart to. This new Jace is as cruel as he is gorgeous. And he's determined to make my life a living hell. Along with the rest of his glorified family and crew of tyrants. They expect me to worship the ground they walk on like everyone else, but I'd rather eat dirt. If Jace Covington wants me gone...he'll have to try harder. Because I've never been the kind of girl to play by the rules. Jace is cruel. Not as cruel as some of the other bully romances I've been reading lately, but he is definitely not a nice guy. Burnt by his past, still hurting from everything that happened...
