Read wRite Run
I was very excited to get my greedy little hands on Guardian Demon by Aurora Ascher (yay for fellow Canadians!). So when I had the opportunity to jump on getting this ARC you bet I was right on it. As someone who loves the morally grey characters in pretty much every book, of course demons were going to be a huge draw, because who’s more likely to have a bit of a dark side than a demon?
I jumped on the chance to read Wedded to the Warlord based on the description (I love me an only one bed trope) and a desire for something light to read after a bunch of intense books. The description convinced me this was just the book I was looking for, hopefully with plenty of romance. Wedded to the Warlord is the first book in a series, with each book being something of a stand-alone following different couples.
Home Before Dark was a whirlwind. I mean that in the best possible way. The emotions this book made me feel were unexpected and all over the place. This entire book was a ride and I loved every minute of it. I’ve read quite a few of Riley Sager’s books recently, actually that’s putting it lightly, I’m on a bit of a marathon with his work but this one is hands down, without a doubt my favourite. I’ve really enjoyed all of his books so far, but this one just took it to the next level and wow, I don’t know how it’s going to be topped.
I don’t even know where to start with my thoughts on this one, in large part out of fear of not doing justice to what I just read. Blood Mercy completely snuck up on me, in the best possible way. I just stumbled across it searching through book suggestions on kindle unlimited so I had zero expectations going into it.
A huge thanks to Simon & Schuster and Netgalley for the e-arc.
I’ll start by saying this was definitely an enjoyable book, I just didn’t necessarily love it. It was nice as a different little read but didn’t quite end up being what I expected in the end in a way that wasn’t for the better as far as my tastes run. Not to discourage anyone from reading, it just wasn’t quite to my taste, but it was still well written and had a very interesting concept.
