    Scorched by Darkness [Eternal Mates #18] Book Review

    Oh boy, I do like the dark ones. And the elves.

    Welcome, dearies! 📖

    It is a new day for a book review about Eternal Mates, this time book 18. If you were here when I started with these, you have followed the progress with me.

    If you arrived at Avenged by an Angel book 16, you might know that I read 3 of these books in a row. 16, 17, and 18. I was building myself up to this one to be honest. I could have jumped from Unchained by a Forbidden Love to this one, but I decided to follow the order.

    I am glad I did, and at the same time a bit disappointed because it was a journey that veered off from what I was expecting.

    The thing about these books as that you could read them as stand-alone but at the same time, not, because there are some details let’s say from Kissed by a Dark Prince, Book 1, that you might need for this one book 18. So, I read more of these but at the same time could have skipped some parts.

    Hello, dearies! 🏝️

    Welcome to the blog and a new review in the world of Eternal Mates, this time for Seduced by a Demon King, which is book 17 in the saga.

    The saga that I didn’t I would keep on reading for so long, yet, here I am because it seems I am a fan.

    Being Seduced by This Demon King surprised me 😄. Why? Because I didn’t think I would like it better than others, but I did.

    First things first, though, the general book details.

    Series: Eternal Mates Book #17

    Genres: Demons (duh). Paranormal. Hell. Fantasy. Between Worlds. Drama. Romance.

    Author: Felicity Heaton

    Page Count: 393 pages (felt like less)

    Rating: 5 out of 5.

    10 Book Characters from Romances to Go Back to

    Male Characters that is… 😏

    Hello, dearies! 🙃

    Because of a post on one of my favourite book characters, I realised that I haven’t updated or done a book characters from romances in like ever, I have never done it.

    So, here we are… I’ll try to keep it short… even when we know that it is not my forte. 😆

  • Beautiful Burn: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #4)

    Beautiful Burn: Book Review (The Maddox Brothers #4)

    Hello, dearies! 🧑‍🚒

    Welcome to 2025’s first finished book, but that came from 2024 because I started reading in December.

    Beautiful Burn is about the burn, nah, that’s a bad joke. It is about two people who like each other and would walk through fire for their love, in the end, and if there was a fire Tyler would burn for Ellie.

    Now, a quick note. The only thing that I agreed with Ellie on this book was that Jim was a former detective and Abby was smart and so they would have to know that what the Maddox Brothers said they did for a living was a lie. 🚒

    Bull$ts and Bonfires: Book Review

    I couldn’t wait for the book to be over. I’m proud because I finished it, but disappointed because I let Booktok trick me into reading it. 🥹

    Hello, dearies! 📖

    Not all that you read on those descriptions of books on TikTok is accurate, always keep that fresh in your mind as it is true, and it is not the first time that it has happened to me, just that other times I don’t follow through, but this time I really thought: hey, this Bullets and Bonfires might be interesting.

    And it was, but not quite what I was expecting of the book.

    All of that said, I enjoyed parts and bits of this book, I did not fall for the main characters neither the “hero” nor the “heroine”, there were instances that I cringed, and that has not happened to me in… ever, I think, if it has I blocked it out, some parts I basically skimmed, say a page because I didn’t find it completely relevant or worth it of the story, I know it was, this was when Bree was talking to Teller, and to be honest all the side characters got my attention more than the main two.

  • Unchained by A Forbidden Love [Eternal Mates #15] Book Review

    Unchained by A Forbidden Love [Eternal Mates #15] Book Review

    If it is not an easy 5, I have to give it 4.

    Book: Unchained by a Forbidden Love

    Series: Eternal Mates #15

    Author: Felicity Heaton

    Page count: 290

    Genres: Fantasy. Romance. Paranormal. Fae. Shapeshifters. Dark Elves.

    I wanted to give this one 5 so badly, and the first 10% to 60% I read non stop, there it was the juicy part and the angst, the falling for the characters.

    Hello, dearies! 💜

    I started off this one without any greeting but I had to get it out first. Well then… what was missing in Unchained by a Forbidden Love? What made me rethink and not go for the top rating? Probably the repetitive moments or long internal dialogues.

    I get it, they were necessary at some points to convey the dilemma of Fuery, not so much with Shaia, she was a bit annoying to be honest.

    Possessed by a Dark Warrior [Eternal Mates #9] Book Review

    Maybe I set my expectations too high.

    Perhaps I thought too much while reading it.

    Or simply Bleu was not what I was expecting but this had all the potential.

    Book Title: Possessed by a Dark Warrior

    Book Series: Eternal Mates #9

    Author: Felicity Heaton

    Genres: Romance. Demons. Shapeshifters. Paranormal. Fantasy.

    Page Count: 453 pages

    4 ⭐

    4 stars and I am being generous. I have a soft spot for elves as you might know from my other reviews of these series. And I like romance fantasy, however, there was something not quite there and I cannot wrap my finger around it.

    Marked by an Assassin [Eternal Mates #8] Book Review

    Well, that was anticlimactic.

    Welcome, dearies! 📖

    I have finished reading another Eternal Mates book, number 8 this time. Marked by an Assassin. At first I was not going to read this one, but I wanted to know something so I went back to it, I should, maybe, perhaps, followed my first instinct.

  • Drums of Autumn: TBT

    Drums of Autumn: TBT

    Author: Diana Galbadon

    Genre: Fantasy, Time travel, Romance

    Series: Outlander (Book #4)

    OMG! It’s July already!😲 Almost August! 🥲

    Hard to believe but half the year already, I need two months back.

    Anyway, have you read the Outlander books? I read up to this book, which is book 4, then started book 5, and… I stopped without meaning to, I really should go back to it.

    But today’s throwback is about Drums of Autumn, which is book 4 and it introduces so many characters in a deeper way.

    Brianna. Roger. John.

    Back in DoA, It’s life in the past but what I liked about it was Brianna’s journey. Alright, that’s spoilers if you haven’t read any of the books and you have no idea who anyone is other than Jaime and Claire from the show, and that if you only watched season 1, which is book 1 (Outlander). I don’t blame you if that’s all you watched though, it was a good season and a great start, but there’s more to it.

  • Taken by a Dragon: Book Review

    Taken by a Dragon: Book Review

    Series: Eternal Mates

    Author: Felicity Heaton

    Genres: Dragons, Fantasy, Romance, Drama, Urban

    That title sounds a bit stronger than the book actually is…

    It took me a while to finish to be honest.

    But the last 10% it came rolling back to life.

    Also, one chapter was dedicated entirely to introducing a new character and get your attention to another book. It was too obvious but it did the job because I added that book to my TBR 😅😆. I’m a sucker for fantasy, angels, and romances. As I have previously stated on these reviews about the Eternal Mates Series.

    Hello, dearies! I might end up reading all 19 books one day. For now, I’m mixing and jumping among them, even when I usually like to read books in order, this particular series can be read like this almost without problem.

    Well, it hadn’t been such a problem so far until this one where there were some characters that I knew who they were but didn’t know they ended up together, so spoilers for me. 🥹🥲 But it’s alright, I brought that on myself for skipping books.
