Review: Retribution - Sherrilyn Kenyon

-


I've never actually read any of Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter Books as they never had in the past grabbed my attention and I have No Mercy sitting on my shelf yet to read but when Retribution came through at work , I fell in love with the cover - the one on the left and thought I might as well give it a go.

Retribution (Dark-Hunter)
Review: Retribution - Dark Hunter Series Book #20 - Sherrilyn Kenyon- August 2011
As I said above,  for some reason Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series has never really appealed to me but I fell in love with the cover of Retribution so decided to give it a go and I'm mighty glad I did as it was amazing and one of the best books Ive read in a while and as I enjoyed it so much, I might as well check out her previous Dark Hunter novels at the library. In Retribution , we meet Dark Hunter Jess "Sundown" Brady who back in the days of Outlaws in the Wild Wild West, he was one of the baddies until he fell in love and met his soon to be wife Matilda. Unfortunately, fate was going to deal him a bad hand as his friend Bart turned on him and shot him on his wedding day. Instead of dying , Brady sold his soul to Artemis to join her crew as a Dark Hunter to help rid the earth of the evil Apollites and Daimons that her twin brother Apollo had created. Fast forward to 138 years later - Brady is living the life of killing Daimons until he hears news that their is a human living among the daimons and killing the Dark Hunters. He soon meets up with the killer who turns out to be Abigail , daughter of Laura who was the daughter of Matilda and Bart. Abigail believes and blames Brady for the death of her parents and seeks to rid the world of Dark Hunters but when she is caught and Brady seeks to save her , her whole world view is turned upside down as everything she was brought up to believe was a BIG FAT LIE. It seems though that they have bigger problems to fear as Abigail was injected with Demon blood and is transforming. Can Brady save Abigail and which side will she choose and pledge her loyalty with - The Dark Hunters or the Apollites and Daimons ?

    I've just finished this book, and being a SK fan I can say it is a bit different to the other DH books. I still loved it, and I love the way that all the characters re-appear in each other's stories. Bring on the next one!

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
