Enslave Me Sweetly (Alien Huntress, Book 2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After her parents were brutally murdered, young Eden Black was raised by Michael, the head of an ultra-secret alien assassination agency that eliminates aliens that prey on humans. Wounded on her latest assignment, Eden still wants to go after her target, but her step-father partners her with Lucius Adaire, an agent she comes to totally detest at first. However, he also pings her sexual radar with an intensity Eden has never before experienced. Bound together to complete an almost impossible assignment, Eden learns that her enemies aren't the ones she has to fear the most: it's her partner, dark and brooding Lucius who sets her on fire.
Gena Showalter is one of the new young lionesses of contemporary romance, paranormal romance and YA. She's burst onto the scene with a handful of books and as many worlds that beg exploration. When she's not mapping out a future where some aliens view humans as merely prey or traipsing through an Atlantis where magic is real and comes with shapeshifters who are always more than they seem, she's writing contemporary romances with a touch of wonder.
ENSLAVE ME SWEETLY starts out like a bullet, and the trajectory never slows down. Eden is a great heroine, the kind of woman who can take care of herself in any kind of situation. And she's drawn to Lucius Adaire, a dangerous, physical man who's been hurt and betrayed in the past enough to last a lifetime. To get to Eden's latest target, she has to pair up with Lucius, and it's a partnership that neither of them want. The prose just sings along, pulling the reader through the adventures and the romance with the familiar comfort of a favorite sweater. Readers who have the time to read it in a single sitting will devour it.
Fans of J. D. Robb's (Nora Roberts) Eve Dallas series and of futuristic romance will love this book. As another of Simon and Schuster's Down Town Girls book line, ENSLAVE ME SWEETLY delivers spicy romance that will amp readers up to the nth degree.

Night Shift (Jill Kismet, Hunter, Book 1) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Jill Kismet is a Hunter with a Hellbreed mark. She is a former prostitute pulled from the streets by her deceased mentor and lover Mikhail. She polices the Nightside, fighting demons that cross over from Hell. In this new series by Lilith Saintcrow we have many similarities to Dante (Danny) Valentine. Jill has a mark same as Danny. She uses a whip instead of sword. Her silver charms in her hair tinkle and the ruby at her throat sparks whenever danger approaches, much like the sparking tattoo on Danny' face. However, I found this book much easier to read. Jill is tough like Danny and not quite human. She meets Saul who is a were cougar and works with the FBI. Saul is helping track a rogue were. A were is needed to track rogues but are not good against hellbreed. A hunter tracks hellbreed but are not good up against rogues. Overall, I found the story to be very entertaining. It had non-stop action and a little romance. Hopefully, this romance won't go the same way Danny and Japh went. The next book is in my wish list. I liked this new series very much and if you liked the Dante Valentine series I think you will like this one also.

Flesh Circus (Jill Kismet, Hunter, Book 4) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Run by evil hellbreed and their human Trader partners, the Cirque de Charnu (Circus of Flesh) uses flashy trappings and promises of pleasure to lure suicidal humans to their deaths ... or worse. Under an ancient agreement between the Cirque and the hunters -- humans who protect their fellows from supernatural evil -- there will be no interference with the Cirque as long as it only consumes those who come to it voluntarily. The Cirque guarantees its good behavior with a hostage whose life will be forfeit if the Cirque steps out of line.
The Cirque has returned to Santa Luz after an absence of nearly a century, and though hunter Jill Kismet is none too happy to receive it, she knows the rules. Sanctuary minder Galina remembers that something bad happened the last time the Cirque was in town, but she can't recall what it was or who was involved. When someone or something attacks the hostage, threatening to throw the Cirque into dangerous chaos, Jill is reluctantly forced to defend the Cirque and track down the attacker. At the same time, a rash of non-demonic possessions, zombie attacks, and gruesome murders alerts Jill that one or more practitioners of "voodoo" are running amok in her town. Could there be a connection between the events of the past, the voodoo of the present, and the attacks on the Cirque?
FLESH CIRCUS follows the same formula as the previous books in this series, mixing supernatural creatures, violent action, noirish private-eye cliches, gross-out humor, romantic tension, repetition (she describes her werecougar boyfriend Saul as Native American beefcake at least three times), and a bunch of seemingly unrelated narrative threads that get tied up in a neat little bow at the end. This novel improves on REDEMPTION ALLEY by being more coherent and more inventive. On the other hand, it does very little with the rich possibilities of a hell-tainted circus. Worse, the use of voodoo (and the interest of the loa--the non-demonic voodoo spirits) are entirely unmotivated; why voodoo and not, say, kabbalah or mundane old black magic? In the end, it's a typical book in the series, likely to appeal to anyone who enjoyed the earlier volumes.
