My Review

Dangerous Beauty

By Melissa Koslin

Rating: 4.5/5

Wow. Talk about a book holding onto you and not letting you go. This story hooks you from the start and delivers a beautiful story of redemption and healing. Definitely not your typical read.

This is my second book from the author and she delivers a romantic thriller that will make you want to read more. As someone who is passionate about the war on human trafficking, I loved how the author wove a story of triumph that was filled with swoony romantic moments and thrilling action! Her faith was also woven into the story in a way that was not preachy but hopeful.

Loved this story and highly recommend if you enjoy Christian romantic suspense!

About the Book

Title: Supernova
Series: Fallen Legacies #4
Author: Julie Hall
Genre: YA Urban Fantasy
Release Date: October 20, 2022

Supernova is a standalone enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, redemptive love story told from Nova’s point-of-view that is a continuation of the Fallen Legacies world intended to be read after Unleashing Fire.

Some lines are meant to be crossed.

Three months ago monsters breached the barrier between realms and poured from the spirit world into the mortal one, intent on enslaving humankind and angel-born alike.

The world is a different place and all I want is to manifest my angelic powers and fight beside the other Nephilim warriors, but when I find myself stranded on a deserted island with Thorne—public enemy number one—I may not live long enough to see that happen.

Even though Thorne helped us defeat his evil mother and stop the Fallen from spreading beyond London, he’s still a ruthless killer who almost brought upon the apocalypse. He may be the most attractive guy I’ve ever met, but he’s definitely the last one I should ever fall for.

I always thought there were lines I would never cross, but I’m learning just how wrong I was.

My Review

Supernova
By Julie Hall
Book 4 in the Fallen Legacies series
Rating: 4/5

As someone who has read and enjoyed the first three books in the series, I was excited that the author decided to write a story just for Nova and Thorne. I loved every moment. Such a great story that was packed with action, romance, humor and redemption! You will swoon, laugh and cheer on the main characters as they seek for truth about what is really happening. They will also employ the help of some familiar friends and I was excited to see their progression too. I really would love to read more in this fascinating world. 

P.S.  Cleo was a favorite. 

PG-13 for violence. No sex scenes. 

Highly recommend if you enjoy clean urban fantasy with romance, humor and lots of action with a feisty and strong female lead and morally gray male lead.

My Review

Defending Honor
By Lynette Eason and Kelly Underwood
Book 3 in the Elite Guardians Collection 
Rating: 4.5/5

As someone who is a huge fan of Lynette Eason and the Elite Guardians series, I was super excited to read this next installment and it did not disappoint. I’ve read the first two books in this series and they keep getting better and better. 

First, the cover is stunning and so eye-catching!

Second, the premise is one of my favorite tropes – fake marriage. 

Third, their chemistry and backstories were interesting. Flawed people coming together. 

Fourth, faith is woven seamlessly throughout the story. 

PG-13 for some violence but it’s not too graphic. 

Highly recommend if you enjoy nonstop thrillers with strong female leads and lots of action and romance.
