UNTOUCHABLE DARKNESS by Rachel Van Dyken Review









To love a Dark One is to invite death...

It is wrong to love her.

It is worse to want her.

It is sin to consume her.

I desire all three.

I've been given thirty days to prove my love to another immortal--as a human. Cursed to use nothing but the side of myself I've always despised to win her affection. I am Cassius, the King of the immortals, A Dark One.

And today I tasted fear for the first time.

How can I win her when my human emotions over take every ounce of logic I possess?

A darkness is brewing.
One I cannot stop as a human.
One that Stephanie, my loves visions, have shown, will be my end.
Thirty days ago I was King of the immortals.
Today I know fear.
Today I know how I will die.
By her hand. 
The woman I love.​







REVIEW


Untouchable Darkness (The Dark Ones Saga, #2)



Many of the characters have undergone huge changes in this book compared with how they were in the last. Decisions of who is good or bad, strong or weak are constantly adjusting in this series.

Untouchable Darkness is the story of Cassius and Stephanie. The reader follows both on their given paths with flashbacks from the long existence of Cassius and scenes of the battle inside Stephanie's mind. These pieces eventually tie together.

This author has a special gift of combining groups of people and making them family. The pain, humor and love are easy to feel, and I have fallen for each guy.

So much detail was given in the mythology of this universe. I'm eager to see where it heads next. Also, I can't wait to see the other guys with their mates.

Careened: Winter Solstice in Madierus by Bey Deckard Review



A Baal's Heart short, following the events in Fated: Blood and Redemption 


Plagued by terrible dreams, Jon begins to distance himself from Baltsaros and Tom. Perhaps a little holiday cheer is just the thing to help the three of them find common ground again.








AUTHOR NOTE

I had a dream almost two months ago where Jon, Tom, and Baltsaros were in a Christmas special together... something like one of those Hallmark holiday movies. It was ridiculous... there was even a laugh track, if I recall.


So I ended up writing a story very loosely based on that dream... Very loosely.

If you're not into holiday stories, this one's not necessary to make sense of the next chapter in Baal's Heart (hopefully Summer 2016). It's just a bit of silly holiday shenanigans to put some smiles on the faces of my pirates, and hopefully, the fans of the books.

REVIEW


Careened: Winter Solstice in Madierus (Baal's Heart, #3.5)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I love this series, and I've missed these men tremendously. For us fans, this novella is the perfect Christmas present.

Just when I think I've seen all the sides the trio has to offer, they show me more. Oh, Tom. I always love Tom. He's as amazing as ever. Jon had me worried for awhile. I've always understood Jon more and loved Tom more. Baltsaros has always scared me a bit. I never quite know what to expect from him. He totally surprised me again. All three men gave me heart pains, but the Captain actually made my eyes start stinging.

The guys and their relationship are a beauty to behold. Careened is a total treat of love and play. I definitely recommend it.

PART & PARCEL by Abigail Roux Blog Tour Review





About Part & Parcel


Nick O'Flaherty and Kelly Abbott had their happy ending in sight when a friend’s call for help almost ended with them losing it to the blade of a knife. Now, in the aftermath of near-disaster, both men are trying to heal and move on.


Moving on together, though, is harder than either of them realized it would be. Kelly struggles with simply being a lover instead of the Doc, while Nick is mired in his recovery. The distance between them inches along in stilted silence.


Desperately seeking solace, Nick finally gathers the courage to sort through the possessions his dear friend and fellow Sidewinder teammate Elias Sanchez left him when he died. Instead of comforting memories, Nick and Kelly find a stack of letters and strict instructions from Eli that prompt them to send out a call for assistance. With Eli’s letters in hand, Sidewinder sets out on one last mission together, seeking peace and absolution from beyond the grave—and from each other.

REVIEW

Part & Parcel (Sidewinder, #3)



This book has a different feel from the others set in Cut & Run/Sidewinder universe. We don't get the explosive atmosphere they're usually in, but we're given a deep insider look at our guys instead.

I loved taking this journey with them. I lost count of how many times I teared up. I chuckled at their silly antics plenty also. Part & Parcel is about the whole gang healing and finding their brotherhood again. It's also about Nick and Kelly getting right in their relationship.

I enjoyed every word. I loved and laughed and commiserated every step with them. I feel a bond with every member now including Eli. This book really helped to catch me up on the present and past of Sidewinder. It's like an emotional cleansing for the guys and the reader.

The bonus Brick & Mortar scene at the really pumped me up for what's to come. I'm so thankful the author is continuing to write stories about the men I love. Yes, I recommend this story.

4.5 stars
