The Heart of Dread series is very off beat to begin with because it’s a post apocalyptic fantasy series. That is there are two worlds linked by magic, Earth and Vallonis. Vallonis has magic and elves and dragon riders—er drakkonryders. Earth is in an ice age with humanity barely surviving under the military rule. While […]
Frozen by Melissa de la Cruz and Michael Johnston
September 20, 2013Can I just start with: I absolutely loved this book? It’s not perfect, the pace is off, more heavily loaded in the back end making it feel rushed. The leads are a little too perfect and powerful at times. But there are pirates, and dragons, and psychic/magical powers, fae, and it’s all set in a […]
Gates of Paradise by Melissa de la Cruz
September 6, 2013Okay, are you ready for the last one? Spoilers ahoy, because there is no way, at all, that I can talk about this without talking about everything. So below the cut… Tweet
Lost in Time by Melissa de la Cruz
September 4, 2013If you’ve been following my reviews of de la Cruz’s Blood Bloods series so far you know that they’re either completely irritating or completely lovely to me. The decision to split the point of view and the story into different facets is probably what kept me reading the series. Lost in Time is a perfect […]
Review: Misguided Angel by Melissa de la Cruz
April 23, 2013Like with Bloody Valentine I found Misguided Angel far more interesting when it focused on someone other than Jack and Schuyler. It opens with them, though, so I will as well. Jack and Schuyler have discovered that the Countess’s protection is more like jail and plan to escape. In the process (that is by the […]
Review: Wolf Pact by Melissa de la Cruz
April 12, 2013Bliss is my favorite character in Melissa de la Cruz’s Blue Bloods series, so a novel starring Bliss and werewolves? Yes please! While the Blue Bloods books are about teens facing a series of really big issues (serial killers, redemption, true evil) Wolf Pact covers different territory. The wolves are hell creatures, raised to be […]
Review: Bloody Valentine by Melissa de la Cruz
April 9, 2013Bloody Valentine isn’t a full book in the Blue Bloods series. It’s a side book, fan service and an effort to fill in some empty blanks in the story. There are three novelettes between these covers. Just Another Night in Suck City deals with Oliver, his struggle to fight both the bond between he and […]
Review: The Van Alen Legacy by Melissa de la Cruz
April 5, 2013The van Alen legacy is easy: find the gates to the underworld and protect them so Lucifer can’t escape. Of course since the attack in Rio, where Lucifer tricked Lawrence van Alen into killing an innocent and thus releasing Leviathan (before Lucifer killed Lawrence) finding and protecting the gates is something Schuyler van Alen is […]
