Awesome character growth!

*I received a free ARC of Dark Skye from Gallery Books via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review*

Thronos and Leanthe have such a complicated relationship its a wonder they actually even talked to each other at all. Dark Skye seemingly threw them together at a very inopportune time, but of course, soothsayer Nyx had something to do with that, and she showed up more than once to my utter enchantment. Thronos having searched for Leanthe for centuries made me really feel for him, even if he also acted like an ass for a long time. In a way, I enjoyed him for that as well, because it allowed for his character to grow so much. Leanthe was no innocent  in any way  and I loved that she had a very relaxed with her body and her enjoyment of it.

Another thing I really enjoyed in Dark Skye was the fact that Thronos was a virgin, he could not sleep with anyone but his mate, even if he wanted to. I always think its amazing when the typical romance tropes are reversed, so to see that Thronos was the so-called innocent in their relationship. The story took our two heroes on a heart-wrenching trip to several different planes, first to a demon-plane where Thronos mysteriously could read the demonic writing on the wall As they struggled to survive, they learned a lot more about each other, and this helped them overcome the past and the way they had never understood each other before.

As Leanthe and Thronos traveled across the planes, Dark Skye managed to make me feel like I was right there with them. The writing is beautiful, it showed me the places Leanthe and Thronos visited, in some instances, I could almost smell what they smelled, and I certainly was able to see what they saw. From being vindictive and a little scared of each other, as well as not trusting at all, both Leanthe and Thronos slowly let their walls down and dared to truly get to know each other, and finally realized how much they meant to each other.

If you are a fan of the Immortals After Dark series, Im sure I don't have to say anything more  go get your copy, its released today!  and if you're not, I have to say Im wondering what you are waiting for! The mythology in this series is really good, and the story-arc is so well done. Even if each book follows one couple, there are overall stories as well, that span over several books, and I was amazed at one clue that was delivered in Dark Skye.

We get to meet another Druid in this book; Atticus' archdruid, who trained him way back when. And what a character! Renamed Owen to fit in with the modern world, he's a crusty, no-nonsense man who isn't afraid to cut Atticus down to size and put him in his place when needed. Loved that!

In this story, Atticus takes turns narrating with Owen and Granuaile. The multiple points of view were easy to follow and added a nice depth to the story. Unfortunately, it took me much too long to catch onto the fact that each chapter heading had a symbol to let you know who was narrating that chapter. d'oh!

Really enjoyed Owen's introduction to the modern world, although he took several things in stride that I thought would stump him. It was nice to see the old Druid hold his own without Atticus having to babysit him!

And while Oberon the wolfhound will always be my favorite character, I was thrilled that Granuaile got her own wolfhound as now Oberon will have a playmate! Looking forward to these two getting to know each other.

Really enjoyed this one, but think it would be best enjoyed if you've read at least some of the previous books. The author is very talented and has come up with some great characters! Can't wait for the next book!

It's a great story- and while I won't spoil it, it does neatly tie up some loose plot threads from prior books. As the books go on, it's easy to see the author's experience. Where the first book was a slightly unpolished gem, with a solid concept and fun characters, this one brings character growth to the forefront as Minerva Banks faces some of her biggest obstacles yet.

More moral greyness than expected, given prior books, but it makes sense given the nature of the "protagonist" and her maturity. Lord if I didn't want to slap Victor and Co. a few times, though. Definitely worth a read! I've bought every book so far in the series, and I can't wait for the next one in April!

Great second installment. Gavin totally went crazy and I loved every second of it. He was so dark and brutal, but managed to be likable. Lila also had quite a bit of change, I like her harder. We also get to see more of Blade in this novel and he is slowly becoming one of my favorite characters. We get a lot of new people and I am really excited to see where the author takes it next!

This review was originally posted to GoodReads.

In this book, we are introduced to a new character, Teagan, who is eventually revealed to be a distant relative of Ariana and Asher. Teagan comes from a world where magic no longer exists except in the form of stories, but she has the potential to bring it back.

I liked Teagan of Tomorrow in how Mann used her to really introduce the reader to the world, and also as a way to hilariously show the 'normal' world through the eyes of magical beings. I also feel like Teagan of Tomorrow takes a couple steps out of Coraira for a bit and introduces a new story/character arc that continues the plot brewing in the previous books, but also adds new twists and turns that will keep readers turning the pages.

loved this book almost as much as the first in the series. Developing on from the first book it sees the introduction of new characters and the enhancement of others. Really enjoying this series and cannot wait for the next installment!

Seeing the world of Alorin expand even further into all of the realms of light and more brings an even larger sense of scale to this fantastic story Melissa is sculpting. With so many characters left handing from the prior book, it took a little while to get my legs back story wise. Just as I was gaining comfort for where our favorite characters left off we are introduced to many new characters, from the World of Shadow to the council of realms. We learned of some new bad guys to revile as well as changing perceptions of allegiance to Bjorn's grand plan. I won't delve too much into what occurs during the book, but we see some parts come together as well as new storylines open up. The book ends with an extremely sought after and well done resolution to some of the characters relationships with each other which I admit made me a little ready eyed. I am bummed we will have to wait yet again for the continuation of this epic battle. If you enjoyed the first 3 you can't help but love this book as much if not even more.

In book 3 of the Ivy Granger series, you can really see the growth that Ivy has made since she first started accepting fae clients in her investigative business, Private Eye.  She is much more accepting and the story just brings more and more different types of fae.

Ivy has made some pretty tough bargains over the course of the first two books, and it seems like they are all coming due at the same time.  For the first bit of the book, I was a bit overwhelmed at all that was coming at Ivy at once, but despite Ivy claiming Jinx is the organizing guru, she is able to pull together with her friends and come up with a plan that will keep her friends safe from the plots.  She really puts herself out there and takes on a couple of pretty dangerous missions to put out the most urgent fires.

Forneus is by far my favorite character, but Jinx, Ceff and well, most of the side characters really have me won over as well.  I tend to be more attached to these side characters than to Ivy herself, and I can't wait to see what happens with Forneus and how Ceff and Ivy make their relationship work!

Burning Bright is a fun adventure proving the series just keeps getting better and better!

I love the character's learning about their individual talents and the power they can achieve as a team. I'm very excited to read the next books and experience the characters maturing and the events to unfold.

I have to admit that I had low expectations for the sequel, as I did not think that B. Justin Shier would be able to surpass the first book.  I was so wrong, I really enjoyed this installment and feel that it did an excellent job establishing the framework for what I am sure will be an excellent series.  I really enjoyed Dieter's growth as a Magus over the course of the two novels.  I liked that he didn't become the baddest wizard on the block over the course of the few months that he's been a wizard,  and that he has to put in time to improve. I also really loved the character development done with Rei; it was nice to learn more about her in this novel.  I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series.

I really enjoyed this book and th series so far. I was a little disapointed in what felt like a lack of character development, I didn't really feel like I knew the main characters any better by the end of the book than the start. It would be great to see more around this in the next book. I did love that there was a further expansion of world building in this novel. Thanks for a great book :)

Love this one, and can't wait to read the rest of the series! Margred was a great character, and I really enjoyed her transformation from selkie to human. Kantra delves into a lot of great themes in this book, not the least of which is what it means to have a soul. Highly enjoyable read!

I loved seeing how much the author grew while write this series, how much more in-depth her writing became. At first, it was difficult to get into because of the short choppy sentences....but it grew so much more depth. Character development was wonderful. Truly imaginative. I loved this series.
