review 1: I read this prequel with the idea if I liked the story, I would continue to the series. I liked some of it and have decided to not go forward with the series. I love this author, but I think this particular series is a little too dark for me. There's one thing that bugs me ... I ...

review 1: There are small kindnesses in Dead Man's Deal. They are few and far between, and come in unexpected places, but they are enough to turn small tides for wizard-cum-hero, Gage Powell. All he really wants is peace, love, and understanding. What he gets is the responsibility of th...

review 1: Why is this three books? Why? I really like the Asylum Tales, I really do. But this feels like it was rushed and should be in a longer novel. The previous two were a reasonable length. I will admit the vast majority of my problem with this, is the length. I dislike the rushed fee...

review 1: This is obviously a series that is only intended to be complete at the end of the series--each book doesn't read like a standalone story at all, just one more step in the overall arc. So, it's fine, but it's going to be hard to judge until it's all over. The developing relation...

review 1: I could probably quote my review for the last book verbatim. Again, it felt like no real ending but just the end of another chapter.Though I have to say that it's starting to get on my nerves how many people Drake keeps introducing that the reader is just supposed to simply accep...

review 1: While it was a nice change to read the things from Danaus perspective, the overall novel still had the same faults I already mentioned in my last reviews. No closed plot and new secondary characters that were only there for a few pages but for those, we treated as if they'd alway...

review 1: 5 stars for a novella...from a new-to-me author and series? Crazy, right? What an interesting start to a new series. Magical tattoos, interesting mix of characters, and even with this being so short, there was nothing missing with any of the characters. Certainly some backstory, ...

review 1: I still liked this book, but I felt like this one had more problems than the others in the series. The biggest being that it felt alot like the author was trying to rush to end the series. There were at least two different story lines that had gone through the entire series tha...

review 1: Mira is the Fire Starter, a nightwalker with the unique power to control fire. While some may think the naturi are earth loving fairies, Mira knows better. She's the world's only hope to save it from them. But at what cost?A fantastic fast-paced and exciting urban fantasy. A good...

review 1: This was a great book. I read the whole series and loved each and every one of them. Jocelynn Drake develops the characters nicely and keeps things interesting by adding new dimensions to them as the series continues. The series is full of action and romance and there are eno...

review 1: Pray for Dawn is the fourth in the Dark Days series about vampires, well, mostly vampires. As with its predecessors, it is entertaining enough for me to finish out the series, mostly because I am waiting to read about the two main characters hooking up. You get a little preview i...

review 1: This series is on my 'auto-buy' list, so I picked it up and started reading without even checking out the back cover or flipping through the pages, as I usually do. So I was completely surprised to find this written from Danaus's perspective. At first, I was disappointed because ...

review 1: An interesting concept, but not well written. The writing style was irritating to me - the protagonist is shallow and reactive, and as a result I never invested emotion in their survival or otherwise. Many potentially interesting side-character interactions are ignored, presuma...

review 1: Note: only read Jocelynn Drake's Of Monsters and Men.Read this pool-side at the Vdara in Las Vegas. Like other books in this series, it is entertaining without being engaging. Let's put it this way: while I was reading the young women directly behind me noticed that the man dir...

review 1: Favorite Quote: “I’d make this world safe for my love. Or I’d make it burn.”Fans of Drake’s Asylum Tales will rejoice in the fact Drake revisits Low Town and our favorite warlock slash tattoo artist-Gage Powell. Book two, Dead Man’s Deal, left readers with a few questions as to o...

review 1: I loved the rest of the books. But this one did not do it for me. First off the last three books should have just been one book. Next this book felt rushed. It did not have the same discriptions as the rest of the series. I feel like the last three books (mostly this one) was a c...
