Review for Bound by Darkness (The Alliance Book 3) by Brenda K Davies

Bound by Darkness

The Alliance Book 3

Brenda K Davies

Blurb:

Determined to rescue Simone from the vampires who took her, Killean must become one of the things he’s spent his life fighting—a Savage. As he sinks further into a world filled with death, Killean struggles against his growing bloodlust as he vows to do whatever it takes to save Simone from becoming a monster like him.

When Simone looks up and sees Killean in the middle of her prison, she believes she’s imagining things. Soon, she realizes that the vampire who is supposed to be fighting to stop the Savages, and whose kiss made her feel so alive recently, has succumbed to his darkest urges and become one of the things holding her captive. 

It’s not until Killean tries to rescue her that Simone realizes things aren’t what they seem. Even if Killean can save them from the vampires seeking to turn her into a Savage, can she save him from the darkness devouring his soul before it’s too late?

***The Alliance Series is a spin-off of the Vampire Awakenings series. You do not have to read the Vampire Awakenings Series in order to follow the Alliance Series, but it is recommended.*** 

Recommended Reading order for The Alliance Series:

Eternally Bound (Book 1)

Bound by Vengeance (Book 2)

Bound by Darkness (Book 3)

Review:

Well just when I think this series can’t get better it does! It holds a certain brutality to it while capturing the romance between Simone and Killean. It’s a beautiful balance of the two and I can’t help but admire them both for the sacrifices they make and the trials they go through for each other and their friends. Joseph is just brutal and this book definitely shows that. The ending was very gripping! Watching Killean embrace that inner savage was really something! 5 out of 5 stars!

Consumed

Vampire Awakenings Book 8

Brenda K Davies

Blurb:

When Mollie awakens to find herself in a cage, she doesn’t remember how she or her sister got there, but she also discovers they are not alone in their nightmare. After their captors take her sister, Mollie vows to do whatever it takes to rescue Aida. The only problem is, she has no idea how she’s going to break free… until Mike arrives.

Imprisoned together, Mollie and Mike join forces to break free, but they soon discover life outside of captivity is even deadlier and more horrific than anything they could have imagined. Frightened by her newfound knowledge of vampires, Mollie’s forced to accept what Mike is while they hunt for her sister and his friends.

Despite her reservations about him, the more time they spend together, the more their feelings for each other deepen. Will they live long enough for their love to grow, or will the horrors they face consume them?

***Due to sexual content, violence, and language, this book is recommended for readers 18+ years of age.***

Undone (Book 5)

Fractured (Book 6)

Ravaged (Book 7)

Consumed (Book 8)

Review:

This book really starts off with a bang. And it ends in a similar fashion. The connection between Mike and Mollie is there from the beginning, but their bond is forged in the fires of tribulation. Their captures lead to some very unsavory circumstances. It’s a very dangerous situation and there are several times I found myself holding my breath wondering if they would get out of it alive. The ending is not only very emotional but it leaves you wishing for more! Much more! And there will be more. I can’t wait!  5 out of 5 stars!

New Release & Review: Into the Abyss (Hell on Earth #2) by Brenda K Davies

Into the Abyss (Hell on Earth #2)

Brenda K Davies

Blurb:

Amalia

Born behind a seal, I never experienced anything beyond those four walls until the jinn were freed from our prison. On Earth, the other demons see us as nothing but monsters; however, the demons don’t know the jinn as well as they think they do. I’m beginning to realize I don’t either.

When the jinn unleash a trap ensnaring most of the palitons in the Abyss, I find myself torn between loyalty to my kind and the anguish of those who remain free. Unable to walk away without at least trying to help, I offer to do the one thing I know could turn the jinn against me...even if it means joining with a demon I can’t resist.

Magnus

The last thing I expected when returning from a hunt with Corson, Caim, and Raphael was to find most of our camp caught in the jinn’s trap. Nor was I expecting to capture the fiery beauty with the multi-hued eyes and jinn blood. Even knowing what she is, something about Amalia calls to me in a way no woman has. 

When she offers to help us, I know better than to trust a manipulative jinni. However, if I have any chance of saving my friends, I must follow her into the Abyss. As we travel deeper into the jinn’s twisted world, I realize there is far more to it than meets the eye, but just what secrets do Amalia and the Abyss hide?

Reading Order for the Hell on Earth Series:

Hell on Earth (Book 1)

Into the Abyss (Book 2)

Review:

Such a great read!  Into the Abyss was no disappointment in this second book of the Hell on Earth series.  The connection between Magnus and Amalia was immediate, but there were so many things in the way.  Including prejudices against the jinn and what they have represented in the past.  What he and the others don't know?  Not all jinn are the same.  And that makes a huge difference. It changes their views, especially Magnus's.  The fight he puts up against his feelings for Amalia is admirable, for sure.  Amalia, on the other hand, seems almost in need of protecting, but she exudes a quiet strength about her.  Not only did I enjoy their connection, but I really loved the danger and suspense that added many more layers to dig through in this book.  Definitely intriguing! 5 out of 5 stars!

New Release and Review for Ravaged (Vampire Awakenings Book 7) by Brenda K Davies

Ravaged (Vampire Awakenings Book 7)

by Brenda K Davies

Blurb:

Since the day he stopped aging, Aiden has struggled against the darkness trying to claim him. He no longer denies he’s fighting a losing battle, he’s just hoping someone kills him before he gives in to the savage nature dwelling within him. Just when he believes he’ll lose the battle, he encounters Maggie, and for the first time in years, he has hope for his future.

Having grown up without a stable home, Maggie enjoys the security she’s worked hard to attain. Everything changes the night Aiden ends up in her ambulance. Now, not only does Maggie stand to lose everything she’s achieved, she’s beginning to think the mother she considered insane might not be. 

With everything she knows torn away, Maggie realizes the more she loses, the more she might gain if she gives her trust to Aiden. However, when circumstances force them apart, Aiden is unsure if Maggie will be enough to bring him back from the darkness ravaging his soul.

Review:

I knew Aiden's book was going to be intense. It had to be considering how much he struggled. But this might surpass even my expectations of just how intense it would be. Maggie is awesome. I love her name: Magdalene. She just takes everything in stride. She straps on that helmet and keeps plugging on no matter what happens. I love the big secret about her. It explains so much and it's a nice touch. Maggie has had a bit of a hard life, but she's done the best she could with it. Aiden though, his struggles are epic in proportion and Maggie has no idea just how bad they are for quite some time. I loved the ambulance action! And the end...I was a bit nervous on how it would turn out. This is not something I expected, but it turned out well!

5 out of 5 stars!

New Release and Review for Hell on Earth by Brenda K Davies

Blurb:

Wren

It’s been fourteen years since the gateway to Hell opened and life as I knew it ceased to exist. Taken in by a group of humans, I’ve managed to survive in the Wilds. Now I have a chance to do more than survive while building a better life for all Wilders. Unfortunately, it means doing the one thing I never believed I would do—joining with the demons I’ve always considered my enemies.

Working with demons wouldn’t be a horrible prospect except it means dealing with Corson. The irritating demon who manages to get under my skin until I’m not sure if I’d rather kill him or kiss him. The closer I get to him, the more memories of my long-buried past slip free, leaving me uncertain of what’s real and what’s not…or even of who I am. 

Corson

I’d thought joining with the Wilders to hunt down the creatures that escaped Hell was a job I’d enjoy. Not only do I get to kill my enemies, but I also have a chance to get closer to Wren. I wasn’t expecting the stubborn woman to go out of her way to avoid me. 

Cut off from our allies, Wren has no choice but to work with me. However, the more time we spend together, the more I realize that though she would prefer me dead, there’s nothing I won’t do to keep her safe. When a lethal new threat rises, I begin to fear keeping Wren alive may be impossible.

Review:

If Lucifer still existed in this book I would have said that Earth had become the Devil's playground.  However, he's not.  But that doesn't mean that Earth is no longer dangerous.  Because it is.  All of the demons released by the seals falling are now roaming free and not all of them want to play fair.  In fact, they fallen angels are still there and regrouping quickly.  Corson, the demon, and Wren, a Wilder, are just part of a group that are out scouting for the fallen as well as any troublesome demons that do not want to submit to the new leadership and obey him.  If they pose a threat, they must be taken out.  In the midst of all of the danger, Corson deal with his growing feelings for Wren and attempts to get to know her better.  Wren is not as receptive though due to past trauma.  Because of it, she is as hard as nails on the outside, but Corson brings out a side in her that was long buried and she had hoped to keep it that way.  He makes her feel like no other ever has, but he's a demon, someone who used to be the enemy.  I really loved reading this book!  Corson and Wren's story is not only one of love, but of the ability of man to survive whatever may come.  We survive and adapt.  This book also had it's rather scary moments that read almost like a horror story.  I loved the spin to it though!  Earth has no doubt become the demon's playground!  (I would recommend reading the Road to Hell Series first to become better acquainted with the characters.)

5 out of 5 stars!

Review:

This. This book tore me up in places. It was absolutely gut wrenching at times. Full of action and suspense, the last in this particular series will not disappoint! And to be honest, it seems like every hope and possibility that Kobal and River get comes with some terrible consequence or revelation. And there are some serious revelations in this. Be prepared for loss, shock, and amazement!

New Release and Review for Eternally Bound (The Alliance Book 1) by Brenda K Davies

~*~*~*NEW RELEASE*~*~*~

Eternally Bound (The Alliance Book 1)

by Brenda K Davies

Blurb:

Over the centuries, anything Ronan once found pleasure in has faded away to be replaced with blood, death, and the ever-constant battle not to give in to the more savage side of his vampire nature. Every time he wakes, he questions if that day will be the one he succumbs to the beckoning darkness.

As a born hunter, Kadence has been sheltered from the world for her entire life, never allowed to step beyond the walls of her home. It’s not a life she’s happy with, but it’s one she’s come to accept. Everything changes the day her father is slaughtered by a vampire and she escapes the walls that have kept her caged.

After she’s attacked by the monster responsible for killing her father, Kadence is unsure how to react when she’s rescued by Ronan. Though raised to hate vampires, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to Ronan as she slowly begins to realize that everything she’s been taught over the years may not be true. Now, she must decide what she wants more; Ronan, her family, or the elusive freedom she’s finally found.

***The Alliance Series is a spin off of the Vampire Awakenings series. You do not have to read the Vampire Awakenings Series in order to follow the Alliance Series.***

Due to violence, language, and sexual content this book is recommended for readers 18+ 

Review:

"I imagine someone could live for all of time and still get things wrong. We were born to be flawed after all."

Well...I loved it! The author brings in some serious unknown factors into this book that I fully expect to see more of as the series progresses. Ronan is the oldest vampire around and he's a purebred from generations back. Meaning? He can kick serious butt and no vampire comes close to the amount of power he has. Kadence has been under lock and key her entire life. Being a female hunter means your life is planned out for you. You learn how to be a good wife and if you're lucky, a mother. And that is basically all their existence entails. Not yet resigned to her fate, she escapes and follows her twin brother on the hunt for the vampire that killed their father. Because of that one act, it sets into motion events that no one could have foreseen. I love how hard Ronan seems to be and yet, he can be so caring for Kadence. And she turns out to be something entirely new. This book does end in a cliff hanger. Things aren't really resolved. But I can't wait for book 2!

NEW RELEASE AND REVIEW FOR Fractured (Vampire Awakenings Book 6) by Brenda K Davies

Blurb:

In this gripping Vampire Awakenings Series novella, David finally meets his match.

Freed from the chains and the vampires that once held her, Mia struggles every day to come to terms with her captivity and the aftermath of what she endured.

Knowing that she can’t stand the touch of another, David will do whatever he can to help Mia while she tries to figure out who she is now, and how to handle the deepening bond between them. 

However, just when Mia starts to think that she may be able to find happiness again with David, a danger she never knew existed rises up and threatens to take it all away from her once more.

Due to language, violence, and sexual content this book is recommended for readers 18+

Review:

I'm bouncing between 4 and 5 on the rating for this one. David is an awesome vamp guy. He's sweet and protective, and oh so patient when it comes to Mia. She has some serious issues that really started way before she was captured. She's been alone for many years until David comes along. He's the only man she has ever felt a real connection to since she was thrust into a very unkind world years before. This book is more of a relationship building story; maybe more so than the author's other books. It was a bit strange to read a book with more relationship building and sexual content than action. There is a bit of that too but not as much. Still, it's a great read and delves deep into the mind of Mia, and that was really cool. 

4 out of 5 stars!

New Release and Review for The Road (Road to Hell Book 3) by Brenda K. Davies

NEW RELEASE!!  

The Road (Road to Hell Book 3) 

by Brenda K. Davies

Blurb:

River,

Standing at the edge of the gateway, I understand two things. One, I have no idea what I’m doing. Two, the gateway to Hell is not closing. Now, there may be only one option left to me, to all of us. I may have to enter the one place I’d hoped to avoid throughout this journey. I may have to enter Hell.

Unfortunately, a change in events takes the choice away from me.

Kobal, 

I always knew the idea of River entering into Hell could become a reality, but I expected her to be by my side when, or if, it happened. I expected to be there to protect her, but she’s gone in alone. Now, not only am I trying to catch up with her, but I know Lucifer will soon learn of her entrance into my world, and he will be after her too. 

I just don’t know which one of us will reach her first. 

***There will be at least four books in this series. Not all things will be resolved in this book. Due to graphic language, violence and sexual content this book is recommended for readers 18+ years of age.***

Review:

Intense! Things only become more and more intense as the series goes on! More secrets are spilled causing River some doubts and causing Kobal to rethink his strategy when it comes to keeping things from her "for her own good". Some serious fighting happens and super surprising moments. Yeah, they follow the road down into hell and it is hot. And loaded with danger. Then there is this super creepy carnival...oh yeah. That part could give me nightmares. Coming from this author, the level of creeptasticness is surprising and cool because she definitely pulls it off well! 

5 out of 5 stars!
