The End of Hatred by Rebecca Hefner

The End of Hatred (Etherya's Earth Book 1)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The End of Hatred is the first part in a series which takes the readers into a world created by goddess Etherya. This world consisted of four species namely, the Slayers, the Vampyres, the Deamons and the humans. There was a time when the Slayers and the Vampyres used to live peacefully with each other, however, because of one instance their truce ended and the species were at war. Both Miranda and Sathan aspired to bring peace among their kinds and to end hatred. However, there were too many obstacles to overcome to achieve this goal and they fought valiantly to overcome those obstacles.

I loved how different yet so alike Miranda and Sathan were. Sathan was stable to Miranda's impulsive nature and the calm to her storm. Sathan had an aura about him that made him very intriguing and likable. He was authoritative when needed to be, level-headed and practical. Miranda was fearless, passionate and at times a little impulsive but that just added more character to her personality. She was strong and courageous and was willing to do anything for her people.

I loved how Miranda and Sathan's story developed both individually and as a couple. Sathan loved Miranda even though he was reluctant to admit it and it showed in their every encounter. I liked seeing how Miranda grew a lot as a person throughout the book and a large part of it was due to Sathan. Sathan was always there for her even when she lashed at him and of course him being sexy-as-sin made him more appealing. Both Miranda and Sathan had to go through some horrific tragedies to reach their goal but as they say life isn't always a bed of roses.

The supporting characters added charisma and intrigue to an already intriguing book. Heden and Arderin were adorable. Kenden was a warrior, strong and silent. I had my suspicions about Darkrip from the beginning which turned out to be true but I never would have guessed to motive behind it so kudos for keeping the readers hooked with that. The only thing I can say about Latimus and Lila is that I can't wait to read their book.

I think Rebecca Hefner has portrayed everything so clearly and beautifully that it actually feels like you are in Etherya's Earth which is a feat in itself. I am excited to read everyone else's stories and would definitely say this book is a MUST READ!

Securing Brenae by Susan Stoker

My rating:  5 of 5 stars Securing Brenae is Rear Admiral Dag Creasy and Brenae Creasy’s story. We first met Dag in Securing Caite and even though he played a small part in that book, it intrigued me enough to want his own story and Susan Stoker definitely did not disappoint. This book is different from others written by Susan Stoker because it focuses on a couple that has already been married for 30 years and how despite of all odds and hardships they still love each other as much as they did when they first met if not more. Dag and Brenae first met when Dag was a student in the Naval Academy and Brenae was a waitress. I loved how confident and honest Dag was since the beginning. He was strong and he radiated power without pulling his rank. The thing that I loved about him was that even though he was so strong and responsible, he didn’t hesitate from being vulnerable in front of Brenae. Brenae was the perfect partner for Dag. She was smart, supportive and understanding and never ...

Welcome to New York by Luana Ferraz

My rating:  4 of 5 stars Welcome to New York was a refreshing change from angst-filled and action-packed novels. It is on the longer side which helps the readers develop a better understanding of the characters. Harry and Alana have scars from their past that led them to leave their homes and come to New York for a fresh start. When they meet each other for the first time, they connect and as time passes they grow closer because they start to recognize that maybe they are not that different from each other. They start to recognize each other’s scars. Harry and Alana were both likeable characters although I think what Alana did to Brandon and how she treated Brandon for most of the book was not justified, even though she redeemed herself in the end. I think she should have given Brandon a chance to explain. I felt Brandon’s story could have been explored a little better. Harry had all the traits of a hero. He was loving, supportive, rational and to top it all, he was handsome. Ala...
