This is book 5 and definitely needs to be read in order. It is not a standalone. There is a new adventure for the gang and more bad guys to read about. I did get this from the author as an ARC.

This was a fun and cute story! I just loved the characters so much! It's a shorter book, so a faster reader can read it in two to three hours easily. This was a fun and cute story! I just loved the characters so much! It's a shorter book, so a faster reader can read it in two to three hours easily. I usually don't like pirate books, but the description sounded like I might like it. I'm really glad I did because I smiled throughout a good bit of the book. There are some darker moments in it, so be sure to read the trigger warnings if you have any. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a spicy, pirate fantasy romance.

While this was a fast read, it wasn't one of the better books I've read. It tried to be funny, but honestly, it fell a bit flat. I felt no connection While this was a fast read, it wasn't one of the better books I've read. It tried to be funny, but honestly, it fell a bit flat. I felt no connection with the character. He whined through the first half of the book. I started skimming because I was just over it. I really wanted to like this because I have a wicked sense of humor that is a little on the dark side. So this SHOULD have been right up my ally. I did finish it, which is why I gave it three stars, but I do not recommend this for anyone looking for humor in their stories. If you like reaper stories, maybe give it a try. I got this as an ARC from Booksirens. These thoughts and opinions are my own....more

There is another cliffhanger at the end of this one. It was such a good book, and I can't wait for the next one to come out! I have grown so attached to the characters and love the romantic parts of it. It's very well written with lots of adventure.

What really pushed my rating from three stars to four stars was the fact that one of the main characters had something wrong with her. Unless the writers meant for it to be a similar disease, it sounded just like the symptoms I suffer with Dysautonomia. It was very accurate, so it makes me wonder if one of them or their family has it. Disability is so seldom shown in books, so it was wonderful to show how an invisible illness can affect someone. I would very much like to continue the series. The story was kinda slow and hard to get into until midway through when things started to pick up. It ends on a cliffhanger, and it's going to be tough to wait until the next comes out. I got this as an ARC from Booksirens. These are my own thoughts and opinions....more

I did skip some of the long self chattering in the book because it bored me. I just couldn't connect with any of the characters. There wasn't a big suspense or any big reveals on who the killer is. The book just didn't feel finished, I guess. It definitely was no thriller. Thank you to Netgalley and the author for the opportunity to read this book. These thoughts and opinions are my own....more
While I didn't really enjoy book one, I still gave this one a try when the opportunity to be an ARC reader came to my email. I like some of her other While I didn't really enjoy book one, I still gave this one a try when the opportunity to be an ARC reader came to my email. I like some of her other books, so I was happy when this one did not disappoint me. Even though it's an erotica monster romance, don't let that fool you into thinking it's mostly s*x because it's heavy on the romance. Which was a surprise. If you've read her other books and like monster romance, give this one a try. You won't regret it. I got this as an ARC from the author, and these opinions are my own....more

Although the first book had an ending, there is an overall story arc that picks up where the first book ended. Book one should definitely be read before this one as it could be a bit confusing if you don't. There was lots of adventure and mystery to keep the story going.

This was not even a loose retelling, and I've read alot of them, along with fairytale retellings, and never been annoyed like this. I wish I wasn't so annoyed by the names because I did like the story and would like to continue the rest of the series, but I don't know if I will or not. I got this from Netgalley but ended up having the Amazon book also. These opinions are my own....more
