Hello bookworms, how’s life treating you? I’m trying to be better when it comes to reviewing books… most of the reviews I post on the blogs are books that I chose to read… but I do get ARCs and some requests so I thought it would be good to keep them appart.
To make a highlight of those and help promote them better, so here we are with two of those books. one was a request and the other an ARC that I got from BookSirens.com
Book: Mesmerized

Paranormal Romance, Vampires
I’m a sucker for Vampire books, and If there’s a good romance story in it even better. So, when I was asked to review this book I was happy to do it. It’s a heartfelt story, Their relationship, their choices, their struggles are very believable and relatable (but you do have to put yourself in their shoes) I liked Violet’s take on vampirism.. It was very interesting and her characters were great.. Particularly Our heroine Who is sassy, strong, independent… There’s also good chemistry between them and The perfect amount of steam… I’ll be checking out her other work For sure..
Give yourself a treat and If you want an entertaining vampire romance Check this one out

Paranormal romance
I received an ARc of this book thanks to Book Sirens and its author.
I love Paranormal Romances, and this book ticked every box to make it a new favorite of mine..
- Intriguing World – Check
- Different races and creatures – Check
- Great banter between characters – Check
- Steamy chemistry – Check
- Lots of action – Check
However the execution of the overall story wasn’t so great, I was left wondering about many of the different creatures that poppped up only to disappear without reason. There’s was little explanation about our main character’s powers or weaknesses or anything really..
I needed a bit more worldbuilding and backstory. It felt almost like an afterthought.
The pacing was okay but I got confused at times, I did loved the humorous banter between many of the characters, it was truly funny and real.. even when they were threatening each other. And there was so much action that it will keep you entertained.
It was an okay read for me but there was certain room for improvement in the details.
