March Reads & Reviews

Hello fellow book-a-holics! Last month was pretty busy, but I still managed to read a good many indie books. Who doesn't love indie authors? Here is what I thought of them.

Siren Slave
by Aurora Styles

Rating: 5 Stars

Review:
Do not judge this book by its "typical romance" cover! This story has a goofy princess who loves alliteration, an OCD pirate into BDSM, a lusty sea witch who has a potion for everything (including manly problems), a fey "god" who loves bloodshed and wears a loincloth, a villain who dresses in drag and has a bit too much affection for livestock, mermaids, unicorns, and more. This magical adventure is a non-stop laugh fest with a dash of romance and politics thrown in for good measure. I highly recommend getting swept away on this voyage.

Kissing the Rain
by Jen Winters

Rating: 4 Stars

Review:
A nice, short prequel to Kissing Demons told from Alex's point of view. We see his constant struggle with the two forces warring within him and feel his fear about his father's call. I enjoyed getting in this character's head and hope to read more from this author soon!

Souls of the Reaper
by Markie Madden

Rating: 4 Stars

Review:
This book was hard to put down! I enjoyed the first book in the series and the second one is even better. Though there were many instances of repetitiveness when it came to Lacey's past, I could overlook it because of the intriguing story. The characters were well developed and the pace perfect. A great read!

Something Borrowed
by Kimberly Kincaid

Rating: 5 Stars

Review:
This story had me laughing and falling in love with the characters from page one. I love a book that draws me in so completely in just a few paragraphs. I definitely recommend this one if you want a short, sexy, but sweet read.

Undefined
by Sylvie Nathan

Rating: 3 Stars

Review:
This was a nice little story about a girl who realizes that she is a lesbian. The realization came on rather quickly but was well done. However, I would have liked the characters fleshed out a bit more so I could truly relate to their struggles. Overall, an okay read.

Up in Flames
by Shyla Colt

Rating: 4 Stars

Review:
A sweet, short story with a happy ending. It was enjoyable, but I would have loved more. A chance to delve more into the character's lives before the crash would have been great.

Roommate Menage
by Harmonie St. James

Rating: 4 Stars

Review:
If you are looking for a short, sexy ride that will leave you hot and bothered, this is it. An unexpected event finds Chad invited into a threesome with his roommate and his roommate's hot girlfriend. Is this a one time deal? Will things be weird afterwards? You have to read to find out!

Looking Into the Abyss
by Various Authors

Rating: 4 Stars

Review:
An interesting collection of varying short stories. Each author brought their own unique style and I enjoyed discovering a few new authors.
My favorite stories would have to be "The Elephant" and "Bad Cadet".
A great read for a wonderful cause!



That wraps up last month's reads and reviews. Stay tuned for exciting news coming this month and happy reading!
