review 1: If you like fluffy silly PNR, grab this book. If you prefer meatier or darker story, think about it.I'm a fan of Terry Pratchett, so humour is not a problem. At all. I love the way he writes and highlights our shortcomings. But what he writes about is never really something to laugh at. Here there's simply a forced fluffiness, a freak child of Kitty Kat and a Lord of the Underworld.If you want a funny romance, go for books like Touched by an Alien. I can't say I loved it, but I read and found nice the first in the series. In it you won't find tragedy and personal dramas. Here you'll find them amid the laughing stock. They are not touched with lightness, but stuck in the middle. And you can't take them seriously nor root for the characters. I haven't' read the first book, s... moreo nothing made much sense. You can overlook this, but I couldn't overlook the void. At 50% this book and I parted way. In a friendly manner. Like two strangers forced on a conversation with nothing in common to talk about. Except the weather. Yeah.
review 2: This is the second book in the Soulfire series by Stephanie Rowe. Jarvis, Guardian of Hate, is trying to say the world from himself. Hate is building up in him and too much can cause him to explode. literally. If that happens all the hate that he has held onto will be leaked out into the world. With the help of his friends, Nigel and Blaine, they try to find his brother Cameron, Guardian of Love. Cameron is the only one who can contain hate if his brother dies and place it in another host. Along the way we meet Renia, Grim Reaper, and her friend Trinity, Blaine's girlfriend. Renia is trying to save her sister's soul. Her sister Natalie was bitten by a deebub and is due to die soon. If she can place Natalie's soul in another body when she dies, her sister can "live" on. When Renia meets Jarvis and the guys things become complicating., They realize that Jarvis is the only person not affected by Renia's Grim Reaper powers. And that Renia is the only person to touch him and not become consumed by hate. In all this can love conquer all? Will Renia touch if she dares? I'm not spoiling that for you. One of the best things about this book for me was the comedic parts to it. Paranormal Romances can get too dark at times and the comedy in this books brings you out of that with a laugh or two. I love Jarvis' obsession with knitting. It's funny how a guy the size of a wrestler wants to knit. I liked the story. It reminded me of Gena Showalter's Lords of the Underworld with a touch of Shannon K. Butcher's Sentinel series. Even though I never read the first book and just started with the second, I didn't feel confused or behind. Mrs Rowe did a great job of catching you up from book one. So I would give this book 3 1/2 out of 5. less
