Review: The Sin Eater by Jennifer Harlow

Title: The Sin Eater 
Author: Jennifer Harlow
Series: F.R.E.A.K.S. Squad Investigation #5

Publication: May 23rd 2017 by Devil on the Left Books
Genre: Urban Fantasy, Paranormal, Mystery
Purchase Links: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository | Kobo
Rating: 4.5/5

The long anticipated installment of the best-selling and critically acclaimed F.R.E.A.K.S. Squad series is finally here…

CLASSIFIED: The Exiled F.R.E.A.K.

What’s a F.R.E.A.K. to do after all her hopes and dreams literally died in front of her? Telekinetic Beatrice Alexander went from flying around the country in a private jet, saving innocent lives from monstrous threats to living in her grandmother’s house, playing video games and drinking too much. Directionless, hiding from her problems and trauma, she will do anything not to confront her deadly actions that fateful night in North Carolina three months before. Any distraction will do.

Enter Lord Connor McInnis.

Drawn to the sexy, powerful ruler of San Diego, Beatrice soon loses herself in the passion and luxury of the vampire’s world. But when she finds herself caught in the middle of a centuries old vampire rivalry, Beatrice must decide: how far is she willing to go for those she loves…and for herself?


I kind of forgot to post this review after I read the book because I read the book and wrote the review when I was on vacation last year so it was still hiding in one of my notebooks but I finally got around to posting it. Phew! Initially I was a little nervous to start this book because I knew it was going to be a little different from the previous four books. And it did actually end up being quite different but in the best way possible!

It's been a while since the book before this one but I remember how the end really broke my heart so I knew the main character, Bea, wouldn't be in the best state of mind in this story. But it only showed how very human she really is. I don't want to give too much away but she ends up being in a relationship with a rich and powerful vampire named Connor, which really surprised me because this didn't seem typical at all for Bea. She was grieving the loss of the love of her life so I did understand her reasoning concering all her actions. She made some rash and bad decisions, sure, but I can't say I blame her for it.

Speaking of Connor... I never really knew what to really think of him when he appeared in a previous book or was mentioned. He was a major character in this book so it gave me time to get to know him more. I liked him but there were also moments when I was reading the book that I felt something was really off about him. I was going back and forth a lot with him. The story kept me guessing whether he was to be trusted or not, which is something that I actually loved. 

Compared to the other books this one was really steamy and also a lot darker. That was yet another thing I loved about it. You know me, I'm all about the darker books. And of course there was Oliver, my favorite character from this series. He's just so wonderful and he was amazing in this book. I love how well he knows Bea and how well she knows him in return. I'm not sure if she actually deserves him but I do want them to be endgame (although I'm not sure if there'll be another book but a girl can dream) They have a real and strong connection. I was also really glad that he made Bea see sense eventually. 

So overal I loved The Sin Eater by Jennifer Harlow. It's definitely one of my most favorite books by her and a very powerful story as well. I can't recommend this series high enough. It also features different paranormal creatures and people with various powers.

Review: Darkness at the Edge of Town by Jennifer Harlow

Title: Darkness at the Edge of Town
Author: Jennifer Harlow
Series: Iris Ballard #2

Genre: Thriller
Publication: November 14th 2017 by Alibi

Purchase Links: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Google Play | Kobo
Rating: 4/5

A complicated, charismatic forensic psychologist tries to rescue her brother from the clutches of a maniacal cult leader in this edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller from the author of Beautiful Maids All in a Row.

After catching an infamous serial killer, Dr. Iris Ballard has become a TV sensation. Exhausted from her appearances on the talk-show circuit, she’s looking forward to some quality time with Luke Hudson, her former FBI partner and on-again, off-again lover. The last thing Iris wants is to get pulled back to her dying Rust Belt hometown, but after the frantic call from her mother, she doesn’t have a choice.

Iris is a disgrace in Grey Mills, Pennsylvania, but her twin brother has gone and outdone her. Billy has abandoned his fiancĂ©e, drained their checking account, and quit his job to join a cult called the New Morning Movement. Expecting to find something sinister at play, Iris is eager to destroy the quixotic hold they have on her brother. And that means outwitting the cult’s cunning, sadistic founder, Mathias Morning.

Iris has logic and reason on her side. But Mathias doesn’t play by society’s rules. Just as Iris begins to lose hope, her investigation leads her to cross path with the DEA. And now she needs to save Billy’s life before they’re both caught in the crossfire.


Darkness at the Edge of Town is the second Iris Ballard thriller by Jennifer Harlow. I think I preferred the first book a little bit more but I still thought it was a great thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

This book felt more personal to Iris because it involved her twin brother Billy, who joined a cult and disappeared on his girlfriend Gia and his own family. To find her brother, Iris infiltrates the cult, which is not without its dangers, obviously. I really liked that this story involved a cult because it made for a nice change from the first book. I really dislike it when thrillers keep being the same theme with each book so it made everything pretty intriguing. 

I'm also glad to say that I also still am a big fan of Iris Ballard. She's one of my favorite heroines from this author's books. Iris is not a perfect person at all, but I totally love her sarcastic and witty side. I was also glad to see her relationship with Luke grow a bit more through the story, especially towards the end. I've been shipping them since the first book.

I have to admit that there wasn't as much suspense as there was in the first book. Don't get me wrong, there definitely was suspense but it wasn't on the same level as the first book, in my opinion. The writing was also really great, just like in the first book. Not that this was a big surprise to me becaue I've always loved the author's writing style.

Overall, Darkness at the Edge of Town by Jennifer Harlow is a thriller you definitely need to read. I really enjoyed the story, the characters and the eerie feel of the cult.

ARC Review: Beautiful Maids All in a Row by Jennifer Harlow

Title: Beautiful Maids All in a Row
Author: Jennifer Harlow
Series: Iris Ballard #1
Publication: October 11th 2016 by Alibi

Genre: Thriller
Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Google Play | Kobo

Rating: 5/5

In this white-knuckle thriller for fans of Lisa Gardner and Karin Slaughter, a brilliant, troubled forensic psychologist finds herself matching wits with a frighteningly talented sociopath.

Dr. Iris Ballard’s glory days are behind her, so when Luke Hudson, her former FBI partner and onetime lover, asks for help constructing a psychological profile of an elusive serial killer who murders single mothers and dumps their bodies in the woods, Iris turns him away. She just wants to be left alone with her infomercials, her German Shepherd, and her vodka. That is, until she gets a peek at the case files.

The media has dubbed him “the Woodsman.” But after Iris learns the sickening details held back from the press, and as she sets foot onto the scene of his latest crime, she assembles a portrait of a more complicated, enigmatic, meticulous man. Control is his motivation. He thrives on it. Soon he even tries to manipulate the investigation by contacting Iris, hoping to rattle the woman he considers an intellectual equal.

The game is on. Iris thinks she has a read on her target, enough to push his buttons, to make him lose control. But when the Woodsman gains the upper hand, Iris faces the most painful reckoning of all—with her own violent past.


I've gotta say out of all the books Jennifer Harlow has written, this one is definitely one of her best (I feel like I say this about every new book she writes lol). She writes the best heroines. So it's no surprise that I absolutely loved Iris Ballard. She definitely was flawed and a total wreck when the book started, which made her more realistic to me, so I loved how once she got back to work with the FBI when Luke Hudson, her former partner asked her for help with the Woodsman killer case. Her inner thoughts and humor were actually right up my alley. She made me laugh a couple of times out loud with the things she was thinking about and said. And also, she doesn't take shit from anyone. Gotta love that!

The cat and mouse game between Iris and the killer was really suspenseful, even when she knew who he was. The way the author wrote this guy was raising the hair on my arms. I never knew what was going to happen from what moment to the other so the unexpectedness of it all made this story even better. 

I also really liked the relationship between Iris and Luke. They have quite a lot of history and chemistry between them, which made the dialogue between them always fierce. I'm definitely rooting for them. The ending was sort of abrubt and explosive so I can't wait for the next book in this series to find out where things are going next for Iris.

Overall, I don't read a lot of thrillers but when I do I like them to be just like Beautiful Maids All in a Row. It was well written with a protagonist who is sharp tongued but also flawed who went up against a arrogant yet intelligent sociopath where I wasn't sure what he wasn't going to do next. It was suspenseful right until the very end and I loved it all. I can't wait for the next book!

Review: Fall of Heroes by Jennifer Harlow + Giveaway (INT)

Title: Fall of Heroes

Series: Galilee Falls Trilogy #3

Genre: Adult ~ Urban Fantasy
Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo

"Show me a hero; and I'll write you a tragedy." -F. Scott Fitzgerald

Hero and Villain.
Good and Evil.
Love and Hate.

Would that the world were that simple. Nothing is ever simple in a world filled with superheroes and villains. She may not wear a cape or have superpowers, but no one would say Joanna Fallon isn't a hero. At great personal cost she's saved the city of Galilee Falls from two supervillains, but has finally found a measure of peace. But whatever rises often falls, and even the city's champion may not be able to fight the cataclysm about to befall not only her city but the whole of the world...or even want to.

Read the conclusion to the critically acclaimed Galilee Falls trilogy from the imagination of the IPPY award winning author Jennifer Harlow.


Fall of Heroes was a spectacular ending to the Galilee Falls Trilogy! I really think Jennifer Harlow is the queen of plot twists. She really is. The suspense, the action, the romance it all had me on the edge of my seat!

I absolutely adored the prologue of the book. I don't wanna give too much away but I remember shouting, I KNEW IT I KNEW IT! With a few f-bombs thrown in there as well. So let's say yes, it was a fantastic start. The story just got better and better.

I must admit that I didn't always liked Joanna in the book. I do admire how tough she is but still sometimes I wanted to shake her and ask what heck she is thinking. Still, she's a great character to read about. And I absolutely love her with Jem. I think from all the guys in the book, he is her perfect fit. 

The action started when a bunch of supervillains are taken from the prison they're in. Alkaline being one of them. Nobody has an idea who took them, only that it can't be good news. I had a suspicion who it was and I really went back on forth on who this person could be. In the end I was right so it was yet another I KNEW IT moment but still fun to read about.

There were a lot of moments where I thought it wouldn't end well for Joanna and Jem. I had expected a kind of bittersweet ending with the way it was going towards the end of the book. 

The writing, as always, was so great. The author never disappoints me with it. And yeah, quite a few plot twists never made the story boring. I loved it!

Review: Witch Upon a Star by Jennifer Harlow

Title: Witch Upon a Star
Author: Jennifer Harlow
Series: A Midnight Magic Mystery #3
Publication: March 1, 2015
Genre: Adult ~ Urban Fantasy
Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository | Kobo
Rating: 5/5

 

He's come for me. My savior, my heart, and ultimately, my devil.

As a child, Anna Olmstead is rescued from her life of poverty and drugs by a vampire named Asher. Over the years, she grows to love Asher, first as a father and later as a lover. But soon trouble interrupts her once-perfect life. While Anna wants to settle down, Asher wants a more voyeuristic, party-driven lifestyle.

When Anna leaves him, Asher does everything he can to bring her back to him--including murder. Even as she finally escapes and starts a new life with a special agent of the F.R.E.A.K.S., Asher makes a new move to kidnap Anna and her children. This time, she may not be able to escape him.


I'm not sure how to review Witch Upon a Star. So much happened and I've been thinking about the story ever since I finished the book.  Lately I don't give five stars to a book easily, at least not unless I'm truly blown away by it so obviously I loved this book. I've read every book by Jennifer Harlow so far and though it took me a while to finally get started on the book, it is absolutely a top favorite of mine by her. 

This book felt really different to me compared to the other two book in the series. I can't really put my finger on it but it was just unique. The story starts with 29 year-old Anna Olmstead who's happy with her life, husband and two little boys until a man tries to kidnap her and her children. There are some flashes, where you just know something happened to Anna in her past, that she escaped someone. The next chapters go back in the past from the moment Anna is 9 years old up, when she meets Asher, a vampire that's over 800 (if I remember correctly) until she's 19. We read about her when she was 9, 11, 13, 15 and eventually 19. Always on her birthday. Usually I'm not a fan of books that take you back to where a character is a child but I actually loved it with this story. I wanted to know Anna's past and the way Jennifer Harlow wrote it was just so captivating. From the moment I started reading, I was pretty much enthralled by the story and characters. I barely stopped reading until I finished. 

I have to say that I don't think this book is for everyone, though of course I hope everyone will give it a shot. It's pretty dark at times and there were some moments where even I was disturbed. But even so I was intrigued by Anna, the way she grew from the 9 year-old girl who was so enthralled by Asher to her 19 year-old self who finally saw what Asher was really like. I'm not sure what so say about Asher. Some scenes with him and Anna sincerely brought tears to my eyes. And I did like him when he was good to Anna. But to be honest, they were obsessed with each other from the moment they met. Asher wanted a good life for her, gave her everything she wanted, gave her the best teachers and tried to do the right thing for her when she was young, and eventually they ended up being lovers. This story is actually pretty tragic but I thought there was a sort of beauty to it too, at moments, especially the ending. 

Now, there are a lot of references to Jennifer Harlow's F.R.E.A.K.S. series. I'm a huge fan of tha series, especially of Oliver, a vampire who's been kind of forced to work with the F.R.E.A.K.S. And this book actually revealed how Oliver happened to join the F.R.E.A.K.S. There were some hints about that in that series, but I'm so glad to actually know the full story of that. And I must say that I loved the start of the book where a certain main character from a certain favorite series of mine appeared. *wink wink* 

As for the other characters, aside from Anna, Asher and Oliver, I also really liked Nathan who ends up being Anna's husband eventually. He might not be in it much, not until the end, but I adored him and he's exactly what Anna needed that Asher was not. Her two little boys were also too damn cute. 

Like I said before I thought the ending was actually pretty beautiful. Sure, it was sad and tragic, but there was a certain elegance to the way Anna ans Asher ended up saying goodbye to each other. Even now, thinking about it, makes me a little emotional. The story was that good and affected me quite a bit. 

What more can I say about this story other than that I adored it? The story, the characters, the way it was written so perfectly, in my opinion - it all was incredible!

Review: High Moon by Jennifer Harlow

Title: High Moon
Author: Jennifer Harlow:
Series: A F.R.E.A.K.S. Squad Investigation #4
Publication: September 16th 2014
Genre: Adult ~ Urban Fantasy ~ Romance
Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository
Rating: 4/5

Review copy provided in exchange for an honest review.


CLASSIFIED: A F.R.E.A.K.S. LOVE STORY

Telekinetic Special Agent Beatrice Alexander has fought hordes of zombies, psychotic vampires, and even a troll. But now she faces her greatest challenge: love. Fully recovered from her holiday from hell, Bea has returned to the F.R.E.A.K.S. with a mission, to gain the love of her werewolf teammate, Will Price. Of course nothing is ever easy when it comes to love and war. And when the killing fields of a pack of murderous werewolves is discovered in the wilds of North Carolina, the situation goes from complicated to deadly. Because though Bea always seems to get her man or beast in the end, this time she isn’t sure she will survive with her love intact. Or with her life…










As much as I liked High Moon, it wrecked me. It really, really wrecked me. My heart is still hurting from it. But it was awesome, though. Only really great books can make me feel so much.


I loved the previous books but starting this one I really didn't know what to expect. So yeah, I'm really glad I liked it so much - even with that awful ending. *sniffles*


Bea is an awesome main character. I love her spirit and how she never gave up on Will, no matter how much he pushed her away. And I must say she's grown a lot since that first book. She can fight, she has awesome powers and she can even pick locks now! And yet she has some human flaws, on the inside as well as the outside. I think it's so great how the author created her like that, not a super skinny model-like woman with perfect sizes but someone who like every woman has flaws in her looks and is sometimes insecure about her body. I want more characters like that.


I really love the set of secondary characters in this series, especially Oliver. I love Oliver. I love love love him to bits and pieces, even when he wasn't on his best behavior in this book. I was never much of a fan of Will but I do wanted him and Bea to be together because they went through so much and it's about time! Did it happen? I won't tell, you'll just have to find out. ;)


This book was, to me, a bit different in some way. It's hard to explain. It wasn't a bad different because I really liked this book. I guess it was more focused on Bea and Will than the other books. But aside from the romance, there was also as always a lot of action, drama (so much drama!) and witty dialogue. These books just crack me up.


As always there's a case the FREAKS are working on, which adds some mystery to the story, which I love. I always catch myself trying to solve it along with them, but of course I never can. Still, I like a good mystery and it's fun to try! The only minor point to me was that the first 20% of this book was all about Bea and Will and the romance, which eventually started to get a little boring, but that's probably just a person issue. Aside from that I thoroughly enjoyed this book.


I mentioned the ending before and I feel like I have to get into that more. It was shocking. And when I say shocking I mean really shocking. I hadn't expected that to happen at all. Also, I teared up so badly (which I almost never do!), that I had to get tissues. I just want to say, why? Why would this happen. It was so awful and yeah just wow...  I do hope there will be a fifth book soon because this killed me. Damn authors!



All in all, High Moon was another great F.R.E.A.K.S. book in an equally amazing series. Jennifer Harlow really surprised me with this one. That ending, my god! I would recommend this book as well as the series (if you haven't read the other three books yet). Get to reading them now!




Favorite Quotes:

"Some things are worth fighting for. They make no rhyme or reason to anyone but you, but you just know. It's outside logic, it's outside reason, it's just something you sense in your very core. And if you don't listen to it, if you allow it to slip through your fingers, then you spend the rest of your life regretting it. You spend the rest of your life an empty shell. If that's not worth a whole damn war, let alone a fight or two, I don't know what is."
"I'm sorry to be rude, but why is the FBI interested in an animal attack?" Tobin asks.
Ugh. Every darn time we show up people ask us this question. I just want to shout, "Because we're the mother f-ing FBI and we do what we want, that's why!" It hasn't happened yet. Getting close, though.
I glance back at Will, whose nose twitches like a rabbit on cocaine.

Review: Verity Hart Vs The Vampyres: Part Five by Jennifer Harlow

Title: Verity Hart Vs The Vampyres: Part Five
Author: Jennifer Harlow
Series: A Hart/McQueen Steampunk Adventure #5

Genre: Adult ~ Steampunk ~ Romance

Cover Rating: 3/5
Overall Rating: 5/5

KEEP CALM AND STEAMPUNK ON

The whole of Victorian London knows there is something not quite right about the Lady Verity Hart. She may be the daughter of an MP and the sister of famed inventor Lord David Hart, but she is a spinster whose own father threatens to send her to the madhouse every fortnight. Because Society is correct-Verity Hart is no lady. If they suspected how quick with a quip she is, let alone the majority of her brother's ingenious machines were her design, the sale of fainting couches would double.

Verity requires one herself when her beloved brother is kidnapped by vampyres in the dead of night. With the aid of an aggravating, rude American bounty hunter with a secret of his own, Verity takes to land, sea, and even air to rescue the only person who could ever love and truly accept her. Or is he?

Part Five of Five Includes: 

Chapter Thirteen- To the Manor Born, then Dead, then Undead
Chapter Fourteen- The Gloves Come Off







Verity Hart Vs The Vampyres: Part Five was brilliant! The last two parts were a bit less for me but I really liked this final part. It was full of action, witty banter and finally Jamie came to his senses. What more could I have wanted?

What I loved the most in this part was, of course, Verity finally being reunited with her brother, David. About time, right? I'm so glad he's safe. I just love him and Verity. They have this relationship where they take care of each other and it's just really sweet. I wish I could've read more about him. I hope he gets his happy ending too. 

Verity was brilliant in this last part. I love her wit and how she knows she isn't a lady and owns it. She's really a heroine I'd love to see more in books. And I love her complete trust in Jamie and how she knows he loves her back even though he couldn't admit it to himself yet. Like Jamie would say; she's one hell of a woman.
And Jamie... what more can I say about him. He's awesome. Even though sometimes he needs a little push by Verity. 

Overall, the finaly part in this serial was the best so far. I loved the action, romance and chemistry between Verity and Jamie. I would definitely recommend every part for people who love steampunk, paranormal creatures excellent writing and storytelling and strong heroines. It's been so amazing to be able to read and review these stories. I'm a fan for sure!

Or is he?

Part Four of Five Includes: 

Chapter Eleven- Irish Hospitality 
Chapter Twelve- In A Den of Wolves







Verity Hart Vs The Vampyres: Part Four was definitely interesting as Verity and Jamie close closer and we get to meet Jamie's werewolf relatives which causes all kinds of intrigue and trouble. This part has only two chapters but they're pretty long so it's not like it's too short or anything. It's just right.

In the first chapter not a whole lot happens except that Verity wants Jamie's relatives to help him. He, of course, is not up to this idea at all but he lets her talk him into it anyway. I just think it's adorable because I can totally see how Jamie just can't say no to her. There's more sexual tension and I'm glad Verity knows what she wants; him. If only Jamie saw it, too.

The second chapter was all about Verity and Jamie getting to the Roarke's. They actually live in a castle. Pretty cool. We get to meet a bunch of werewolves, most are Jamie's family. His grandmother is pretty cool lady so far. His uncle, however, is a total creep. 

But anyway, all in all, this part wasn't the best (again) but also not the worst. It was nice meeting Jamie's family and how they live as a pack. It also gave us some more insight on Jamie's parents. So yeah it was a pretty nice part. There's only two more chapters to come in the next and final part. I can't wait for them to go kick some vampyres butts and save David!

Go Verity!
