Rating: 3.5 starsMelusine is a very difficult book to review, especially for a M/M book blog. As a high fantasy adventure, I would say this book is top-notch. As a M/M romance, I would give it a two thumbs…down. But regardless of how one would tag this story, my recommendation is this: patience.Taki...

Really, really torn about the rating on this one. Beginning was rather abrupt and extremely off-putting with the sadistic rape and torture of the main character, followed by chapter after chapter of Felix being BARKING MAD and seemingly no movement toward Felix's story converging with that of the o...

As with any book that has constantly alternating points of view, I found it distracting at first but eventually I was able to settle into it. (It's a personal preference. It works for so...

I've had several people let me know that I need to read this author. I tried. It didn't work for me. The first chapter didn't pull me in. It looked very good and up my alley. It just didn't work. Probably me, not her.
