LONDON: A Double Gun Dealer Novella by Rue Volley


My review for: LONDON by Rue Volley
My rating: 5 out 0f 5 stars
Shanna Roberson

*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

Another amazing book in the land of demons and their hunters! I am completely taken with the idea of a full circle series and Rue Volley knows what she is doing!

In this installment, we are taken back to London, 1948. Ethan was born into a life of a whore. His mother was one and his father a repeat customer. So he had no problem with selling his body for money. He was good at it; actually pretty friggin’ great at it. He was attentive and sexy as hell. For the most part, he was okay with his way of living.

Until a stranger called him out on it, making him feel like utter garbage. In ten minutes, this woman basically knocked him down and destroyed his ego. She got him in a way that was painful real and it totally pissed him off to no end. But that was her job. She was a tracker and it was time for Ethan to wake up.

I am so madly in love with this world and the sexy hunters that are determined to protect it. With each book, we get another piece to the puzzle and the more I read, the more I want! I love London and his ‘screw all attitude’ and Izzy. Oh, I can’t wait to learn more about this tracker! She is such a ball of fire and ass-kicking awesomeness. Keep them coming, Rue Volley! I am looking forward to the next one but dreading the end of this amazing series!

LIN: A Double Gun Dealer Novella by Rue Volley

 
 

My review for: LIN: A Double Gun Dealer novella by Rue Volley
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Shanna Roberson

*I received an e-ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Wow. They just keep getting better and better. I am so madly in love with this series and all the hunters.

In this installment, we met Marcy, a sexy but mouthy girl tending bar in Lindenberg, Germany. She has modest flat and if you don’t count the creepy next door neighbor, she is fairly happy. With her dreams becoming unbearably lucid, she finds herself a little flustered to say the least.

Enter London, a sexy demon hunter with not only a pretty face but a fierce intelligence that makes Marcy’s toes curl. Nothing sexier than an intelligent guy. Curious in more ways than one, Marcy agrees to go with him to a diner a few blocks from the bar.

But she gets more than she bargains for when the demons catch up to them. Battling an innate instinct deep inside her, she must decide if this amazing stranger is worth the danger of demon hunting or will she deny herself her destiny?

Just brilliant, Rue Volley! I can stress enough how amazing this series is. It has it all from sexy heroines and heroes, crazy ass villains and the hottest sex around! So have you been bitten by Rue bug yet? If not, what the heck are you waiting for?

Sirocco (Forest Magic #2) by Diane M. Haynes

Review for: Sirocco (Forest Magic #2) by Diane M. Haynes
Anne Nelson

I couldn‘t wait to read this book, and I purchased it pretty much as soon as it was released. Thanks so much Diane for the wonderful opportunity to read Sirocco. I finished it that same night and am now feeling well enough to sit at my computer to type up a quick review for it.

I loved Rift Healer, so I was anxious to get into this one. And to find out all the adventures with the twins is as exciting and hair pulling as it was with Rift Healer.

But the adventures must continue and that they did! Now I can't wait to see what they all get into next in the next book. I sure hope that it comes out soon.

Diane has definitely kept this amazing story captivating for all of to follow, with the way the storyline flows continuously. So smoothly as the characters develop and grow with the story.

Sirocco has taken first place for me with the immense, action packed adventures, keeping you turning the pages until you reach the end, then as you reach the end you realize that you are then going to have to wait for the next book to come out! At this point it’s not a good thing that I have read the book so fast.

Well done once again Diane for this amazing book. Now hurry up and feed us your faithful readers some more of this gripping story. PLEASE.

This is a definite read for anyone.

Recommend: YA and up

SALEM: A Double Gun Dealer Novella by Rue Volley


My review for: SALEM by Rue Volley
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Shanna Roberson

*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest opinion, but with that said, I will be buying a copy once it is released. Yes it is that good.

It’s official. I am addicted to this series. Rue has mastered the art of storytelling from any angle including from the male POV.

In this installment of Double Gun Dealer, we find out more about how Salem became a hunter or rather how Brian became Salem.

Brian is like most twenty-something guys but he has an above average IQ and a coveted position at a top-notched Biotech company. Keeping to his self most days, Brian longs for deeper connections but his delusions and lack of sleep makes it hard to act normal. With his delusions getting worse by the minute and his hearing painfully keener, Brian is just trying to keep his job and not lose his head completely.

But when someone he cared about takes a nose dive from the top floor of her building and lands on the hood of his car, he knows things have finally reached a tipping point.

Now with the cops thinking he is a murderer and the hellish glitches in his mind become a constant, he is ready to disappear. He is coming to terms with the fact he has probably lost his shit completely now. Then enters Ava, with her pink hair and guns blazing like a goddamn gothic angel. And with that entrance, Salem is born and everything changes.

I am totally enamored with Salem and the more I learn about him, the more I love. I can’t wait to hear all about the hunters. I am officially hooked and I am okay with that. Keep the crazy sexiness coming, Rue. I am so game.

AVA: A Double Gun Dealer Novella by Rue Volley


My review for: AVA by Rue Volley
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Shanna Roberson

Wow. Give me a second, I am still reeling. I didn’t think it was possible to love another series as much as I love Rue Volley’s Hunter’s Blood series but look here . . . Rue has done it again!

Ava is a smart-mouthed waitress in a dirty 'little hole in the wall' diner. Orphaned earlier on, she has always kept others at arm’s length. And she was content. Well, sort of. There was always something missing and not just the ability to dream. It was a deeper need and she didn’t know then but she was able have a crash course into what she really was and what’s been missing in her life.

And after an odd conversation with a deliciously hot stranger on her lunch break, she hadn’t a clue of how much her life was about to change. Enter Saigon, a dark and seductive specimen of a man and all hell breaks loose. Literally. And now Ava has a choice to make to accept her destiny and give in to her true nature or pretend this sexy stranger didn’t just kill a winged demon in front of her. Oh, not a chance.

Rue delivers an action-packed, fast paced journey with a sexy hero and an even sexier heroine. I haven’t fallen this hard for a fictional character since Hunter from her Hunter’s Blood Series. Ava’s crass tongue and quick wit won me over just as much as Sai’s seductive presence. AVA has it all. It will leave you breathless, toes curled and begging for more!
