That was a bit of a spicy addition to the Ravenels series.

Having a horrible memory means that I find books on my Kindle that I don't remember uploading and also I don't remember what the book is about.  This was one of those books.  Honestly, I kind of love going in blind and see how it turns out. 

Vespertine very much felt like a Joan of Arc inspired story with an undead twist... and I loved it.  But knowing how Joan's story panned out, I was wondering how Artemisia's story would go.

I found Jake a little hard to like for some reason - he was admirable in his persistence, but I don't know something about him felt a little abrasive.  It was the story about the dragons that kept me hooked.

I was a bit surprised (and confused) the story went further - that it didn't stop when Lois and Dragonhaven was safe.  It totally made sense when Martha and Katie got pregnant.  The whole bonding scene was pretty sweet.

I love Arachne - she's so knowing and cool.

Also, Sonder is kinda bad ass.

 

It was so obvious that she would be in danger after finding out that the barghest was drained of magic.

Definitely totally obvious that it would be because of Luna desperate to rid herself of the curse.  Same that Martin was Bad News.

But I did not expect a dragon. A bit deux ex machina, though still kinda cool?

I'm glad Alex has worked out the whole mentorship vs romance thing with Luna.

Really enjoyed this urban fantasy world - interesting magic mechanic and Luna's curse is terribly fascinating.

Not sure about Alex and Luna being love interests, but guess we'll see how it develops.

I love this retelling of Beauty and the Beast.  Mixing gardening in really appealed to me, but I think it's  more because I'm starting to get into plants *looks at all the plants in my study*.

The growing affection between Bryony and Beast is so cute.

I wasn't paying attention and thought this was a sequel to Legends and Lattes.  Mildly confused for the first chapter (then a bit bummed), but settled down for Viv's backstory by the third chapter.

Pretty cosy story, but not sure what to make of the (maybe?) multiple love interests.  Maybe I'm reading too much into things.

I. Love. Satchel.  Totally would read of their adventures.

I love reading about Celehar's work - the mini mysteries, sometimes murder, a lot of detective work.  As expected, some were pretty sad.

Osmin Temin so completely awful. I'm glad she got her just desserts, though bummed it was at the cost of Celehar's gift. Oof I wonder if they will get it back...
