I gave up at 45%. Why? Well, it might have something to do with the crappy story. Or the poor writing. I decided to stop torturing myself when the main girl's father died and she decided to go to a concert. Like, your DAD JUST DIED! Nope, done. The story was immature and shallow. There was no dep...
I picked this three volume set up for free and it was then recommended to me by a friend. I found the first book to be interesting enough but almost quit on the second. I just didn't find it all that interesting and the lead character annoys the hell out of me. That sullen whiney attitude need...
An absolute "Snoozefest". I usually will read a book once I start it, but this book I put down and picked up so many times attempting to get into it, I finally gave up. Convoluted story that starts as though you should know what's happening and after 25% of the book was read, I was no further a...
Wow! Here I thought my mama was a pain in the butt, but she has nothing on Eleanor! This is a great sequel to the first book where Seth has to choose sides between the girl he's falling in love with and his hunter family.Just like the first book, this is a fast and action packed read. I wasn't...
I originally got these books (its a three volume series) because of a link from the Free Book Hub. They sounded as if they would be entertaining and I gave them a shot.The author's abilities grow markedly throughout the series, and their ability to handle the narrative improves. This isn't a crit...
These books just get better and better. I breezed through this one in just a couple of hours and couldn't possibly tear myself away from it. Rylie's story is so painful in this third book. She had it rough in the first two, but this one was much worse. Her struggle and pain was so beautifully wri...
Although this is a great ending to the original series, I'm very glad the author decided to continue on with Rylie and Seth's story with the Cain Chronicles. Normally while I'm reading a series, I always end up rooting for the man that first enters the scene, but I can't help but feel that Seth ...
I'm officially hooked on this series, and this book completely changed the rules of the game.Elise will have to choose in the end, and normally she had no problem with that because she's beyond practical, but what happens when the choice is between the practical thing and her dream come true?I lo...
Me gusto lo suficiente como para engancharme un poco y terminar el libro. Aún así, me molesta tener que leer 3 series de 6 libros cada una para entender bien el trasfondo de la historia (que es bastante complicado). Así que, como sólo cuando termine este libro me enteré que las otras series...
Very slow plot development as well as character development. The book mainly show cased the beginning of the problem of a new threat. I felt as though the writing was a filler and you were waiting for some action to happen. Let me take a minute to thank Riley for actually doing something beyond w...
I found this book the most interesting of the descent serie, because of the Union. Reading about the union reminded me of the seasons of the moon books, which I did like. The story itself was kind of boring. There wasn't much of the fighting demons I've come to expect and I have no Idea what Anth...
Not many books throw the main character into the action pregnant with twins. Even worse, whose babies are they? Poor Alpha Rylie has found herself in this weird predicament. I love that the rivals for her love and progeny are brothers who have love for each other, often to their own detriment. An...
(Spoilers)This books went by so fast. It all seemed like set up to a rescue but then the book was over. It was all about James. There was no Elise. But it hardly mattered it was so masterfully done when you can leave out a main character and still have a great book. It answered so many questions...
Excellent ending to the series. Extremely satisfied and would highly recommend this series to anyone looking for something unique and creative with flawed characters and where right and wrong are not always what they appear to be. I was so moved by the emotional depths of the characters on this l...
I have become a huge fan of SM Reine recently, so it is no surprise that I absolutely loved this book. SM Reine is a very talented author. Her stories definitely aren't your typical paranormal books...they have a much harder edge to them, which makes them unique. I really enjoyed this book and a...
Reviewed by NicoleDisclosure: This ebook was provided by the author in exchange for an HONEST and not necessarily positive review. This is the third instalment of Reine’s Ascension series and just like its namesake these books just keep going higher and higher in my estimation. The momentum push...
I hope there is more to this series as I love the relationship between Summer and the Angel Nash. Summer's twin, Abram, doesn't feature in this story as much. I assume we will learn more of his abilities later. Even so this story starts with Aunt Gwen taking care of Rylie's babies in a new land....
Torn by Fury is another great addition to the Ascensions series. Ms. Reine has a fantastic way of spinning this urban fantasy that keeps you on the edge of your seat needing to find out what will happen next. Elise Kavanagh is back to fight in a war against the angels who have built the city of...
I won't be a grammar Nazi, but will say that this book did have FAR less errors than the previous books, so that was good.I only gave this book three stars because I did not care for the ending. It felt rushed and after such a dark series the ending just did not flow for me. I don't want to get d...
“Not now,” he said sharply. “Bekah said Abel’s killing people,” she said. Seth put the truck into gear and roared out of the parking garage. “That’s what Scott said, too.” “It’s not possible. Is it?” His eyes cut over to her. “Rylie…” His knuckles were white on the steering wheel. “I’ve had suspi...
“You owe me a new pair of shoes,” she said, stepping over the arm flopped in front of the TV stand. It was lacerated with a deep gouge from elbow to wrist and perpendicular slices that looked more like tooth marks in the middle.Lucas McIntyre smiled weakly. “Shoes, huh? How about an IOU on that?”...
“I’ll add those drinks to your debt.” She zipped up her bulletproof vest. It was matte black and unmarked. The Union was happy to emblazon their logo on everything they used, but the OPA was slightly subtler than that. Slightly. I threaded a hip holster through my belt and buckled it. “Are you ke...
DON’T LOOK AT that!” Startled, I whirled and swung my fist at the same time. Malcolm ducked under it easily. He hooked his arm around my neck, pulled me down to his level. Reflexively, I wanted to fight and run, wanted to escape the fear. I pushed down the panic reaction, clinging to the knowledg...
I work for a secret government organization that handles everything that doesn’t officially exist. Pretty cool, right? We’ve got a department that handles dissemination of misinformation. Guys whose livelihoods hinge on convincing government officials that their city’s children didn’t vanish beca...
The smallest of Hell’s nine circles, Limbo was still large enough to house millions of demons, a teeming metropolis of jet towers, canals of lava, and armies of shades. The last time Laila saw the place, columns of hellfire had risen from its surface, a forest of them. Today water flooded the sur...
She didn’t know if she should have been grateful for that or not. The argument seemed like such a simple misunderstanding, requiring minimal explanation to sort things out. But she needed his patient attention in order to do that. Marion could forgi...
When she became so exhausted that she almost failed to avoid decapitation by a stray demon, James picked an abandoned condo in a village on the ocean and insisted they take a day to sleep. At first, she refused, but fatigue won. For a few blessed hours, she slept. He studied as she rested, workin...
Infernal magic pulsed over her, making the hair on her arms stand on end and the back of her neck prickle.Alert.The wards smashed down on Elise.She had thought that shooting the House’s walls hurt, but it was nothing like feeling a security breach. Elise collapsed against the desk. She could see ...
Strategy, or maybe even cowardice—two completely normal reactions to being attacked by Hounds in Sheol. It was neither. She was propelled away from Seth and Konig’s fight against the Hounds by a force so strong that she didn’t look back. Two men she...
Dinner and magical supplies were paid for by Joey, who turned out to have a fat wallet. I left the credit cards and his fake FBI identification in the glove box. The cash was ours. I didn’t risk going inside the McDonald’s to order. We went through the drive-through and ate behind the security of...
