Releasing the Demons by L. D. Rose

Hey everyone I hope you are having a good week. I missed last week because of work and interviews but I did actually finish a few books that I just didn't get around to writing reviews for. So expect a few in the next coming weeks, on time of course.
So this is the first book of two that the author was kind enough to send me. I will be reviewing the second one I just don't know when I'll get the time to finish it. I'll try to get it done in the next month as long as work doesn't get in the way.
It's been a while since I've read a sort of romance book with vampires in it. It was nice to read something professionally written in this genre. A lot of people can say that Twilight left a bad taste in their mouth. But this book is by no means Twilight. It is clearly aimed for the adult audience with language and sexual content.
Let me tell you a bit about it:

In our world Vampires have become known to humans. There is a police force that specifically deals with the threat rogue vampires cause to humans. Valerie is one of these people. Along with her partner she tries to solve murders related to vampires.
Outside the police there are other forces working to protect people from the vampires. Blaze is a half-vampire with the ability to set fires. After being kidnapped and tortured by an evil vampire named Cyrus he has made it his life's mission to hunt him down and kill him and all those who follow him.
After being caught up in a murder investigation Blaze and Valerie cross paths. An unlikely alliance is formed between the half vampires and the humans out to stop their kind. Cyrus is back and is intent on ruining Blaze's life once again. The race is on for Blaze and his brothers to find Cyrus and stop him and his followers from going on a killing spree. But Cyrus is only just beginning. And Valerie and Blaze and directly in his path.

I enjoyed reading this book. The characters were well written and it is easy to see the separation between each character and the author, so that each character has their own unique personality. The world was so close to being the world we all live in that it was easy to get into the story and the setting. If you are ready for a good vampire romance this is a good book to check out.
Plot: A-
Pace: B+
Setting: B
Characters: A
Ending: B
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Have a great day everyone and happy reading!

Kings or Pawns By J. J. Sherwood

Hey everyone I hope you are all having a good Monday. This week I was lucky enough to be sent a copy of this book to read. It's about the size of an average book, just about 400 pages online but it is by no means a quick read. Like Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings there is a lot of the lore and different species to learn about. Along with that there is also the add on of other worlds with even more people. My first impressions of the book were that it was a little hard to get into. The cover of the book reminds me of Dungeons and Dragons, which I am a big fan. But as a player I know that there can be a lot to do before getting into the good parts of the story so I sort of felt that the book would be a little like that. I wouldn't say that feeling was far off. But before I get into that let me tell you a bit about the book: In the world there are only two real players: King and Pawns. If you are not a King... well, you know what you are. Even if you are a highly respe

By the Hands of Men: The Old World by Roy M. Griffs

Hey everyone, I'm posting a little late today because... well, I don't actually have an excuse. I was eating McDonalds and then found a funny video online and well... I'm doing it now do there is no reason to go on. A couple weeks ago I received this book to read from the very generous author. It is a Historical Fiction set in World War One from the point of view of a nurse working near the front lines. I love stories from War because they are part of our history and I think it's important to know more about it. This book was also great for me because we had just gotten to the part about World War One in my European History class (both of the ones I am taking). But let me tell you a bit about the story: Charlotte is a Russian nurse who has been working on the front lines since close to the beginning of the war. Her and her friend from America have been working hard and have learned many things while treating the wounded. For a couple of months Charlotte is moved

The World Below by Mike Phillips

Hello everyone I hope you are having a great day. I'm sorry this is coming at you later in the day than usual but I only just finished reading the book a couple minutes ago. It has taken me a while to read the book as a lot of books have lately but it isn't because I didn't like the book it is just because I have been so busy with school. I am off next week so I am hoping to get a chance to catch up on some reading then. Also, I am sure some of you are noticing that I am reading books lately that aren't very well known books. As apposed to the teen books or popular books I used to do I have been doing other types of books. This is because I think it is great to look at other books that one doesn't always see and I am always looking to help out authors when they ask me to check out their book for them.  With that out of the way let me tell you a bit about the book: A man is called to the side of the Goblin King to be hired to retrieve a sword that was stollen
