Trial By Fire


Trial by Fire (Firefighters of Station Five, #1)Trial by Fire by Jo Davis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It's been a long while since I've read a totally human storyline, having been immersed in paranormal stories. This is a great story even as dwelling in Frank Whitlaw's mind was a little troubling. I'd forgotten how pathetic sadistic killers who think they have been slighted to justify their crimes, can be. Loved the camaraderie of the fire fighters and the romance between Kat and Howard is nice to read about even as I wanted to knock Howard in the head a few times. This is one story where the female lead has lesser hangups than the male lead, which is a nice change. Look forward to reading about the rest of Howard's team.

Marked by Moonlight

Marked by Moonlight (Moon Chasers, #1)Marked by Moonlight by Sharie Kohler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was initially very bothered by the indiscriminate hate on all lycans and that all lycans are inherently evil since I am more familiar with stories of good guys existing in all forms of shapeshifters. But it seems like that would change in future books, for which I am glad. Although I almost stopped reading due to my own perceptions on how shapeshifters should NOT behave, lol, I adored Claire and wanting to know how she fared made me forge on with the story. I loved that the lycan virus helped her find herself and finding love in Gideon is, of course, a huge bonus.

Stealing Kathryn

Stealing Kathryn (Gatherers, #2)Stealing Kathryn by Jacquelyn Frank
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the idea that good energy could shed away evil that one has been exposed to for decades. Love how the story progressed though I wish there would have been more interaction with people of Beneath. Really hope she would continue this series. Kathryn and Adrian are just a joy to read about. Always nice to see such tortured souls prevail in the end.
