Amazing!
A big step up from Hooked in the spicy department and I love it!!
Tristan is an absolutely sex pot! From the tattoos to the *cough cough* herbal remedies, he is great all round. He has a soft side too which is shown on his relationship to a young boy called Simon. It was a nice balance from the dark sexual content and violence that he dishes out throughout the book.
I love love the female MC Sara who gives as good as she gets. She’s mentally and physically strong and compliments Tristan’s character really well.
Although as good if not better than Hooked, i didnt like the addition of making it apparent that there was a little racial hostility in this novel. While not a massive issue, i was a little peeved that considering this is a Lion King retelling, the inclusion of brown people was still quite derogatory which it could have done without. While the ending sooorda makes up for this, i still didnt think it was necessary.
Cant wait for more in this series though, author is great for making you question what spice you really do like!

I really liked this!
Some dark themes, a little choke play, a little saliva in the booty but all in all, a really fun, yet very loose re telling of Peter Pan/Hook. Great to spot all the easter eggs throughout and its just written incredibly well. The smut is smutty, the villain villainous and for once, (spoiler alert) doesnt change his ways. The Danny Zuko trope is deliciously ignored and i looove it!
Onto the next one and I really hope the author writes more!

Convoluted and weak
The female mc is annoying, unlikeable and completely unrelatable. The male mc while marginally better is still a bit of a one trick pony with no real bedroom finesse to speak of and the plot - or lack there of - is weak.
Overall its not written very well with inconsistencies in scenes and the worldbuilding is shoddy. Fae having to feed through sex element wasnt thought through and so its basically 447 kindle pages of rape threats and abusive males.
The smut was fine enough but just too crass for me with no emotion behind their couplings and just lust

Dish drying dull. Terrible unnecessarily complex plot and boring characters.
Love love LOVED!
I've usually got my head stuck in a Fantasy books so it was really refreshing after a few heavy books, to have something fun and light to get stuck into and smile at!
In short, a guy fancies a girl on a train and sends an ad/message to her in the Lonely Hearts kind of column in the paper. What follows is a series of near misses (some more believable than others imo) in which you are stuck on the will-they-or-wont-they rollercoaster which was soooo much fun!
What i really enjoyed with this other than the cuteness overload is that the male MC Daniel was a really likeable and sweet-without-being-a-dullard Nice Guy. I was rooting for him the whole time, more so than the female MC Nadia, who while wasnt a real problem in any way, was just a bit toooo clumsy and woe-is-me for me. Nothing terrible by any means, i just wanted her to be a touch less sappy but thats just me.
Other than that, it was such a cute read, set in the well to do world of young-ish Londoners who have cool friends and do cool events and can actual afford to live here LOL
I really liked it and the only reason i dont give it 5 is because i wanted an all the trimmings HEA! I wanted the wedding, the kids, the grandkids even to wrap it up all nicely in a bow! :D
Definitely check it out if you can, i think i've got diabetes from how sweet this whole thing is, especially when they finally meet! omg omg, i was soo HAPPEEE! haha

A bitt too tame for me in that this was very light, ver predictable so just very boring. No spice, no danger, no twists. I read it just to complete the set but it was i credibly dull.
I really enjoy the creativity, cleverness and research within this book.
While the surface story is witches v vampires, the second instalment featuring Mercury Amell, really upped the political tension of the book and I really respect and admire it.
Mercury is now the leader of a powerful movement that is against that of the witches council and members of his family. His struggles with this is written so incredibly well, that while you want to be on Merc’s side (and are a lot of the time) the opposing views show how reckless he is/can be, which makes for great tension, conflict in the novel and in yourself as a reader.
Amanda has done so well with this contemporary work that exposes the racial tension and injustice that is oh so prevalent in the world. I highly recommend this series and this writer for such an interesting and thought provoking work.

Sorry to say (not really) but this one was worse than the first one. I was kinda excited to get to it since the guy on the front is basically Khal Drogo lool but it didnt live up to any of the hype.
With the addition of rape references (but no actual scenes etc.) its pretty much the same outing as before, only this one goes on for a little too long. I skimmed alot of the end cause it just got incredible dry and same-y.
She denies she loves him. He doesnt. He’s redeemed. Cue new horseman.
Once again, smut wasnt that great although War does seem to eat a mean
