Icons Andrew's has never disappointed me. This is no exception. Well written, laughs, love, magic, what more could one want? Read it!
I read the first books in Ione's Demonica series, I for some reason never considered reading any of the books in the spinoff Lords of Deliverance. I should have started these a while ago. These sit perfectly with the books I normally read. Glad I waited though, this definitely pulled me out of a reading slump.
I love that the characters from Demonica also appear in this. It was nice to get updates on them. I do think I may reread those books because I feel I have forgotten bits of them.
This seriously put me in mind of Showalter's LOTU books with the demon possessed Ares, a good thing in my opinion considering they are among my favorite books.
This is has everything you want in a paranormal romance. The unique characters, the smutty sex, the hero with a bad side, etc. I tend to not love books in this genre where one of the main characters is human, but Ione's found a way to make the human unique and really drag her into thus world. I like how the female Cara grows into what she becomes but also holds true to her roots.
Bravo! Thank you book for pulling me from my slump. On to the next book just so happens I have a copy I rescued from a trash can at the airport about a year ago, still even smells like pickles.

This one is full of twists and turns, both heart breaking and heart warning moments, and in the endd really ties this series together. I am saddened that this is the last book in this series, but am very glad that I decided to finally read this. On to some more of Frank's books.
This book made me cry but also as a child it made me realize I was not invisible. Whenever I was considering doing something stupid and dangerous this book came to mind. It was kind of like my good fairy sitting on my shoulder. To this day at the age of thirty-two I think of this book even though it's been over 20 years since I read this.
NOT AGAIN. I stinking did it again. I need to make it a rule that I at least rate every book read. This a I made to 60% before I realized I had done it again... unknown re-read.
This is the second book in the Elder Races series. We have Tiago and Niniane (aka Tricks). I like em both! Niniene has just inheritated the dark fae throne after years of keeping her identity hidden. Tiago had the hots for her in the first book, but didnt admit it to himself until he went to her rescue after someone made an attempt on her life. Sparks fly, then stupidity and denial raises its head and love is ignored for the good of a race, then amends are made, happily ever after!
I like the writing, I like the story. On to book three.
This is good, but obviously not very memorable. I didn't realize until one of the last scene that I had read this a while ago. Oops.
In this humans and others, the Elder Races, live together knowingly. Our main character, Dragos, was created before the Earth, but was something unlike what he now is. He has watched species come and go. I find this very interesting. At one point there is talk of the Earth being a living being itself, made me think about it for a bit. I love when a book unexpectedly does that. The female character is way younger than Dragos, in her early or mid twenties, but she is wise beyond her years in certain aspects. She is unique, just not aware of how unique she actually is until further in the book.
This is like a lot of other paranormal romance available, but it has its own flare. I like it. Hope the series continues well.
This book surprised me. I went into this fully expecting a DNF, but I LIKED it! I am pretty picky and have lately been having a very difficult time finishing books I start read. This one kept my attention and I read it is a single day.
In this We have an array of paranormal and mythical type characters: vamps, demons, demigods, witches, gods, and more. I found all the species so awesome and interesting to read about. The romance was one that built with time where trust had to be earned. The characters were unique and I really liked them. There were a few times in the beginning of the book where I had to glance back to refresh my memory of who was who, but that could have (most likely) just been my over abused brain.
Recommened to fans of Kenyon's Dark Hunters and other paranormal romance or urban fantasy with romance.
I read this book a while ago when it was titled GLAMOUR. It had so much potential but needed edited in a BAD WAY! I accidentally ran across this book and recognized the author's name. I hoped it had been through a rewrite. This story has so much potential but it is not there yet. I will read the next in series hoping for improvememt.
So disappointing. I had such high hopes and it started out great. The first 2 to 3 chapters were amazing, then it falls apart and reads like an after school program.
I read this book when I was younger. I am now reading it to my children and they love it. My six tear old son has never liked to be read to but hebis actually enjoying our one chapter a night routine. I think he has developed a slight crush on Beezus. He comments on some of the things that Ramona does to irritate her sister by saying things like ‘Ramona shouldn't be mean to Beezus'. It's funny because he does similar things to his sister.
It's been obvious for the last couple of books that these two would be paired up. I really did like this book. I just really wanted to see dee Ann with someone a little more alpha.
I picked this book up at a yard sale when I was about six. The man I bought it from told the title,I thought he had said something like: A Donkey Named Oaty. Well needless to say my young mind thought that just sounded awsome and the size of the book, big plus...bedtime stories forever. After about a week of begging my mom (passed away in 2012 at 50 years old, too young) finally started ‘reading' this to me. It wasn't until I had to read this in my first year in college that I realized she had made up every story about Donkey Oaty and his sidekick Serventzo.
Well, today I decoded to stop at a yard sale and fund the exact edition my mother used to pretend to read to me.
My mother's version was much better.
I have always disliked that women are not as remembered as much as men who did the same thing as them in history. I do understand that women were not as empowered as they are today, but I also know that there had to be some awesome ladies who do awesome things. This book is abou those women during he Second World War.
I enjoyed reading this and sharing it my children. My son was really impressed by how amazing some of the women featured were and how important some of their accomplishes were. For my daughter this gave her a sort of I can do everything you can do, only better for a few days, secretly I like this, but it was slightly annoying for a few days.
Highly recommended. Would be a great addition to any library.
Enjoyed this better the second time around much more than the intial read about two years ago. I had forgot most the details. I was really into books with loads of romance at that time, I am happy to say that I didn't miss it this time. Yes, there is some, but not like my usual reads. Tastes are changing.
I love this. The Mar family reminds me so much of my husband's family from West Virginia, ha! I really like how tough Cerise is and William is great too.
I have had this series on my tbr for some time. I kept putting it off. For some reason I had it in my head that I didn't care for the Andrews' writing. I was mistaken. Funny, suspenseful, and set in an interesting, magic filled world. Not a lot of sexy times, which a year or so ago I would have considered a drawback, but now I prefer.
Great paranormal romance. Strong females, delicious, flawed males. This author writes pretty good action scenes.
This is awesone. I thought I list my copy from childhood but found it today in a cookie jar in my parents basement (no clue he it got there). Oh Happy Day!
This is nice. The graphics are nice, I do wish that had been a bit brighter. I am very happy to say that there sees not to be any missing parts of Alice adventure. I applaud that they were Abe to accomplish this. It greatly reminds me of Disney cartoon version, only a bit older maybe.
I especially liked the depicting of tea time with the Mad Hatter and the Hare. The Caterpillar on the mushroom was nice too.
This to me seems like a much easier to read version for younger readers. I remember read the original at nine years old. It was a daunting task, but being the book nerd I was (and still am), I tackled the task head on. I was an unusual child though, and I think this will be a better choice for children not up to the page length and story, but who want to experience these adventures in written style. My seven year old son and I really enjoyed this together.
I recieved a copy of this through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is not as good as I thought it would be. I feel it lost so much of what made the story so good. Too much bouncing around. It has been a while since I read the book, over two years. I was lost on who was who, what was what. The graphics were good, not great, just good. I haven't read manga in a while, but when I did read it, I was really into it. I will give the second installment a chance, but if that doesn't spark more interest I will not continue.
It felt like it was missing half the pages. I really thought I would enjoy it. The first chapter or two was nice but it was all down hill from there.
I really enjoyed this paranormal romance. It had just the right amount of romance, adventure, action and a great array of characters. I loved reading about the different worlds and how they were sort of magic and non magic copies of each other with a kooky ass strip called The Edge between them. Really liked the lady lead, bat shit crazy and smart.
This is the first book I ever read alone as a child. Now it is my son's favorite. We read it together at least once a week at bedtime.
I like these. I listen to these types of stories via podcast on my way to and from work via Spotify or some other service.
This one has some grit. Quite a bit of grit. I like grit. The story follows 2 sisters. One hate vampires one is drawn to them jealous of their ability to live in the world rather than hide in fear. One is a soldier fighting the vampire from killing off humans, the other stays within walls feeling helpless. Boy does this story take the things they dispise and make them see other sides of it. It makes them choose between instinct and loyalty. I liked it. I do feel though there is definite room for this type of audio story to grow into so much more as the format grows. I can't wait to listen to season 2 which is out already. I just need to wait til my drive to and from work and sporting events with my son. This one made me take the long way home a few times.
