i did think that book #2 was a little weaker than book #1 - the plot was a bit less believable, some of the reveals were kinda ridiculous, and whit did NOT do enough groveling. come on inez, make him work for it girl.
but nonetheless, isabel's writing style is so captivating and easy to read, and she always sweeps me up into her stories and doesn't let me go until they're completed. i loved the combination of historical events based around egypt in the 1800's, ancient magic, plot twists, and - as per usual with isabel ibañez - insane chemistry and swoonworthy romance.
so much fun, a unique and interesting plot, brilliant romance! a really enjoyable read....more

but other than that, this was addictive, highly amusing trash, and the characters were fun. plus some of the plot concepts were pretty interesting! now i await book 2......more

this was a cozy, sweet, fun read! very much lacking in the zombies though - but that's on me for having high hopes, i knew going in that it wouldn't be a survival/post-apocalyptic story (but a girl can dream).
light and fluffy, heartwarming to the max, and i loved hart's obsession with mercy. entertaining for sure! plus adorable family dynamics and hilarious talking animals. cute!...more

addictive, so easy exactly the tessa hale charm i needed!! one of my favourite rh writers for sure. this was the brilliant escapism trash i required.
addictive, so easy to read, entertaining. i liked our fmc - she was less innocent than the usual tessa hale heroine, and i enjoyed her determination and strength. the mmcs varied, from the adorable cutie patootie precious hacker, to the eternally suspicious emotionally tortured shithead mate! a glorious range, to be sure. cliffhanger was brutal, but when isn't it!...more

anyway, this was entertaining as hell, addictive, ridiculous, trashy goodness. this author always writes the best guilty pleasure reads. men were obsessed (except for whatever tf is happening with finley - i hope to get a bit more of him next book), and there wasn't really a plot, but i was entertained nonetheless.

it certainly didn't really have the enemies-to-lovers or the slow burn vibes that i was hoping for, but the love interest was satisfactorily swoonworthy and obsessed with our fmc, which is always fun.
i also thought that the fmc, despite apparently being some incredible, vampyr killing, badass huntress was... frighteningly weak. she seemed to lose an awful lot of fights, even when she was trying to win, and just kept getting rescued. kinda disappointing.
all in all, an easy, addictive, quick romantasy read. nothing stood out, but it provided some amusing entertainment!...more
