When a trip into the city goes wrong, Avalon must find the courage to help a stranger.

Avalon Clementine was born from dragon blood, but having just turned fifteen, she’s still struggling to master even a small part of her air magic.

When she ventures into the city with her friend, Jericho, to watch a match between the hellhounds and white tigers, nothing goes right.

Instantly, they’re separated, and Avalon finds herself alone in a place she’s not familiar with. But a helpful stranger comes to her aid, so when he’s attacked, Avalon can’t just stand by. But with her unpredictable magic going haywire, can she help him, or will she just get herself in trouble, too?

The beautiful cover immediately caught my eye. It is one of my favorites from September to December 2020.

The synopsis made me want to read this prequel. We discover a little this world where there are shifters. I like dragons shifters

.It was too short. We don't have time to get to know the characters well. I want more because there are already several questions that I ask myself. I wait impatiently for book one.

Sometimes the road ahead twists in unexpected ways.

Adelita's new life was supposed to be easier, now that she left the village. But the normal life she craved doesn't last for long. The Kalku won't stop until they have her in their clutches, making any sort of freedom impossible.

While escape seems like the best option, Adelita knows that the time is coming for her to stand and fight for the family that found her...

...and the family she didn't know she had.

I wanted to read this title so much that I almost chained book two and three, except that I realized that it was not necessarily easy for my little French head. From now on, I will always read another book between two books of the same series.

The story start about a week after the end of the previous volume. There is always this succession of quiet moments full of hugs with more eventful scenes.

The author offers us new surprises and a scenario not very predictable except for the end which did not really surprise me.

The characters are still pleasant to follow and Cruz begins to appear more sympathetic to me (it almost pains me to admit it). The relationship between the characters evolves. Do we go to a trio or something else? No idea but for the moment I totally agree.

I continue my adventure with this series. It's rare that I'm so enthusiastic after several books.

Life in the village isn't as safe as Adelita thought it would be.

With a new family ready to take her in, Adelita still isn't quite sure she belongs, bringing danger ever nearer to her one safe place. Though she's beginning to fall into a rhythm with the three warriors, their protection has some serious setbacks whenever she questions the formidable Cruz.

The Kalku haven't stopped hunting her down. They are determined to steal her strength at any cost. When Adelita realizes the protection the village offers might be at risk, she knows that even though she wants to remain with them, if she wants to keep them safe, she has to leave them all...

...Even the ones who have stolen her heart.

I am delighted to find again the author's Hispanic universe. On the other hand, mythology question, I am very little served. I stay on my hunger.

We begin this second book a little after the end of the first. It's less hectic in the first part because we are in the village but in the second we go from surprises to surprises and we are again in road trip mode.

I still have the same opinion on the characters. I still cannot appreciate Cruz even if I was able to discover his past. Between Adelita and Santos, it's almost fusional. Rafi shows his vulnerable side.

I didn't expect this reaction from Adelita at the end of the story. I wish I had the next book to continue my reading.

The author's pen is still so fluid. The pages scroll without us realizing it.

I don't know if the third book will be the last in the series but I can't wait to read it.

Fae freak. Killer. Abomination.
I’ve been accused of terrible crimes.
And I’m far from innocent.

My uncontrollable powers earned me a cell in Wayward Fae Penitentiary where the inmates have it out for me and the guards turn a blind eye to every bit of violence. I’m here for one reason only, and that’s to assassinate the ruthless unseelie prince.

Viktor claims he’s going to break me, make me wish I never set foot in his prison. If that were true, why does he keep saving me from the dangerous alpha shifter salivating for my blood?

W.F.P. is not your average lockup. The prince has more authority than the warden, creatures roam the halls at night, and a war between unseelies and shifters is brewing.

When I’m viciously attacked, Viktor brings me back from the brink of death, but no one could have foreseen the consequences. How could I go through with my mission now?

If I kill him, I’ll become the monster everyone thinks I am.

If I don’t, innocent blood will spill.

It is the beautiful cover that made me want to discover this title. The summary confirmed my choice.

The universe is very interesting with a mix of fae, shifters, elves and daemons. Something to delight paranormal and fantasy fans.

The characters are mostly pleasant, some irritating: we need to have some to hate. I immediately loved Sloane and then Vik. Each of their confrontations is delightful, it blows hot and cold.

The story leads us to make discoveries about the world that Sloane discovered as well as about different characters.

If my reading had to be described in one word: wow! I hung from start to finish. There is action, almost no downtime and no risk of getting bored. It's an addictive reading and I fell in love with the characters and the author's pen.

I will of course read the next book. December seems far away to me, but it's always better than waiting a year or two, as it's the case for some series published in France.

I didn't know J.N. Colon but I'm going to take a closer look at her other titles.

Adelita Corazón knows her secret ability can't remain hidden forever, but when a rebel faction hunts her down, everything she thought she could handle goes up in flames.

When three men from a warrior tribe collide with her attackers, it's all Adelita can do to hold on to her secret, and what's left of her heart. There are many things the warriors are known for, but kindness isn't one of them. Yet the longer they travel together, the more Adelita realizes there's more to them than muscle and magic... and more to her than her secret.

When her abilities come to light, Adelita isn't sure if the guys can offer a safe place to hide, or if the trouble they bring might be worse than a life without their protection. Though she knows she has to leave them, her heart tells her to stay...

...Even if it means certain death.

It was first the cover that attracted me to this title. The woman on it is Latin so that changes nicely. I like diversity because it is diversity that makes the world nicer. The summary convinced me to read this first book.

The universe created by the author is well constructed and coherent for what I could see. Exactly in my favorite genre with novelty on the mythological side. I am waiting to discover more to have a better view.

If the beginning seemed a bit chaotic to me, I was quickly drawn into the story which is more like a survival road trip.

The narration is being carried out by several characters, it is good that the author has thought of notifying us who it is at the beginning of each chapter. I find it helpful to have different points of view.

The characters are all very interesting even if I have a lot of trouble with Cruz. Many times he makes you want to kill him in his sleep. I much prefer to follow the evolution between Santos and Adelita.

The ending is literally grrr. You clearly want to know the rest given the way it ends. What I want and will do when it will be published.

My reading was pleasant and the author's pen fluid. I want strongly the continuation.

I didn't know Mary E. Twomey before reading this title, but being French, I discover English-writing authors almost every week.

Caly
Do you dream of ridiculously hot men? Okay, maybe you do. (And yes, I'm well aware I should lay off the romance books before bed.) But do you actually ever meet those men you dream about in real life? I didn't think so. That's probably a good thing though because I have... And these men from my dreams have done nothing but pull the rug of reality out from under me... which was how I fell and ended up in a world that I thought only existed in romance books.

My name is Caly (AKA Callie) and I'm just an ordinary single woman living the LA dream... paycheck to paycheck. Except whose dream is it? I'm not really sure... but it's not my dream. Especially because I have really weird dreams... like really weird. Then again, everyone has weird dreams, right?

Blake
I am an alpha wolf shifter and leader of Orion's Order, a pack of... well, not wolves. We're an unconventional pack of highly skilled specian hunters that do one thing: hunt the evil in our world. And we were hired by SILE (Species Investigative Law Enforcement) to hunt a bloodthirsty criminal who is infamously untraceable. That was until an irresistible female brought an unexpected twist to our hunt and set things in motion... a motion that has left my pack and our world forever changed.

I saw the cover on BookSirens several times and it was the cat's eyes that called out to me every time. I finally wanted to know more and I went to read the synopsis.

I hesitated for a long time because the number of pages scared me a little in the face of the time I could devote to reading and that I did not know the style of the author. I still fell for it and I said to myself to not be scared if I'm a little late. A late review is better than no review at all.

The universe created is unlike anything I've read before and all the characters are interesting, even Felix.

Calypso suddenly discovers a world like she never thought it would be. Trials will await her but she will emerge stronger.

I liked the story from the start. There is everything I love about the genre. The only small negative point is that there are a few too many sex scenes.

The author's style is very fluid. Only the abbreviations remain a mystery to me. It's a bit annoying.

I plan on reading the next book so that I can find out more about Keena and Rhyker.

ALEXIA RAINE NEEDS TO BE RESCUED BY A WEREWOLF.

Not just any werewolf either, but the top enforcer in the Bryant Pack. Which is why Neil Duran is pulled off a major case by his High Alpha to retrieve this unknown daughter of their most valuable member, or their entire wolf pack in the Pacific Northwest will lose all hard-won territory, shifting the balance of powers.

But convincing this feisty woman to come with him poses its own problems.

First, Alexia Raine never knew her real father.
Second, she doesn’t know that werewolves even exist.
Or that she herself might be one.
Or that their rival wolf pack will stop at nothing to acquire her for several unspeakable reasons.

Worse, she’s the most aggravating, infuriating, intoxicating woman he’s had the displeasure to rescue, and he may very well be falling in love with her.

It was on Booksprout that I discovered this title and its author. The summary having pleased me very much, I let myself be tempted by this ARC.

We are in a world where there are shifters and humans. In the Bit-Lit genre, one of my favorites.

I easily entered the story where I followed Alexia in her discovery of a world she did not know. I liked her very much because she has a strong character. She also has a flaw: she rushes headlong.
Neil seems impenetrable at first, a stubborn kind of guy, but we come to understand him little by little.
The only character who hasn't convinced me is Erik.

There is no sex scene but, as I have said for other books, it doesn't bother at all. Quite the contrary.

 I was so immersed in the book that I read it almost in one go. I would have liked to know a little more, particulary on the "grade" that Alexia will have.

I will read the next book which will be with Jake. I just discovered that there is novella prequels which explains more certain things. I'll see if I can find them (=> found it).
