Books Read End of May

Tsunami Blue by Gayle Wilson, futuristic romance. 5 stars. This book was phenomenal! No it wasn't perfect and the ending was a bit weak, so it probably doesn't deserve 5 stars. But I am giving them anyway, I liked it that much.

Dark Lover by J.R. Ward, paranormal romance. 4 stars. Book 1 in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I finally got around to reading it, and it was wonderful! I loved the brothers, their coolness is off the charts! Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

The Beautiful Being by Jessica Inclan, futuristic romance. 3rd and final book in a trilogy. Liked it a lot, 3.5 stars. I would recommend reading the other 2 first or this one could be a disappointment.

Other by Karen Kincy, young adult paranormal romance. Despite being written in Present Tense, I enjoyed this. I do think she should have realized who the killer was long before she did. 3. stars.

The Reapers are the Angels by Alden Bell. Zombie story. I tried to read this. But not only is it written in Present Tense, it also is written like a stream-of-consciousness with no quotes on dialogue. I couldn't deal with it so didn't read more than a few pages.

Warrior by Cheryl Brooks, scifi romance. This is the 2nd book in a series. I enjoyed the first book, but only made it through 2 chapters of this one. It was pretty bad. I doubt if I will read any more of them.

Seize the Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon, paranormal romance. This is Valerian's story and I really loved it. 4 stars.

Double Shot by Allyson James, scifi romance. The volume contains two stories, #2 & #3 in the Tales of the Shareem series. Honestly, I liked the first book, Rees, much better. I give it 3 stars, which means it was good. Just not great.

Master of the Night by Angela Knight, paranormal romance. Book 2 in the Mageverse series. I have read several of the short stories in the series, and liked them a lot. However this one, the first full length I have read, was long on sex and short on everything else. Well written, just way too long sex scenes. Not that I don't enjoy sex scenes, they just seemed so overdone. It seemed like the book was 50% sex. I wasn't expecting erotica from a mass market paranormal romance. I'm sure I will read more in the series but not in any hurry to do so.
