Such Violent Delights

I absolutely adored Such Violent Delights for a multitude of reasons. The first being some of my favorite authors are apart of it and as always Amela Hutchins, S.L.Jennings and Stacey Marie Brown did not disappoint. Another aspect i enjoyed was that most of then a short stories that tease you for the making of a new book or continuation of story. It was a great way to sample other authors. As a result i added a few new authors to my TBR list. Finally it put me in the holiday spirit in a good way. I definitely liked some stories more then others but all were worthwhile reads. I thought all the stories were unique and clever. It does leave you dying for more in the best way.

After finishing the collection of paranormal stories in Such Violent Delights, I’m reminded how much I adore other worldly story lines and the kickass heroines and hot as hell heroes who are part of paranormal realms.

Stacey Marie Brown – Descending Into Madness (A Winterland Tale)

This is quite a unique story. I never imagined that Alice and Scrooge would work in a book, but for some reason, Brown sells that idea and leaves me wanting more.

Chantal Fernando – Suck Me

Who doesn’t love a good vampire story, and the fact that Fernando pens this tale about a royal blood sucker and a heroine who goes head-to-head with him makes it an intriguing one. I’ve read a lot of stories by Chantal Fernando but I’ve never read one in the paranormal realm, so I’m excited to see where Fernando takes these characters and if they’ll exude the same kind of personalities that her dominating heroes and kick butt heroines have in her other series.

Jessica Florence – Hero Holiday Trials

I’ve never read a Jessica Florence story, so this gave me the perfect excuse to check out her writing and storytelling. The title definitely fits the events of the novella because the trials AJ must face to prove he’s worthy for the ‘one’ are the focus of Hero Holiday Trials.

Amelia Hutchins – Oh, Holy Knight (Wicked Knights Series)

Hutchins’ Fae series has one of my absolutely favorite book couples of all time, so I loved getting a look at what’s ahead for the paranormal worlds that she’s so good at creating. It looks like another feisty heroine and one heck of an alpha male are headed readers’ way and I can’t wait!

S.L. Jennings – Devil’s Darling (A Se7en Sinners Short)

I’m a huge fan of S.L. Jennings and her Se7en Sinners Series is one of my faves, and even though I’ll admit that I’m a Legion gal through and through that doesn’t mean that Luc hasn’t weaseled his way into my heart…there’s just something so honest about him and the fact that he sacrificed what defines him for the one who owns his blackened soul and heart makes me want him to find his own happiness.

The Devil’s Darling is a preview of what’s up next for the dastardly devil and his cohorts and while Luc continues to woo me with his wicked words, his brother is who I couldn’t get enough of and I can’t wait for more havoc to be had by them and their tagalong.

Amo Jones – DYAVOL

This tale definitely feels like an Amor Jones’ story; the fact that it consists of both angels and devils speaks volumes of Jones’ deliciously dark and deviant mind as well as her lighter side, but let’s be honest…I think it’s clear which side reigns and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Knox & Miers – Deck the Demons (A Halfblood Huntress Prequel)

I’ve recently been introduced to this writing duo, and I’ve definitely found some new paranormal worlds that I can’t wait to experience. Readers meet Morgan and Gamble in this prequel, and I’m quite intrigued to know what’s to come for these two.

Kim Loraine – On A Cold Winter’s Night

Hopefully, this is just the beginning of Ruby and Gabe’s story because I’m very intrigued with why Ruby’s been put in Gabe’s care and if it’s a test from his Father or if there’s something else in motion as indicated at the end of the novella.

Anne Malcom – Buried Destiny

This novella is incredibly dark and twisted. This is a new-to-me author, so I’ll admit that it took me a bit to get a grasp on everything and by the time that I did, the short story was over, leaving me a bit out of sorts with what’s to come for these characters.

R. Scarlett – The Winter Solstice

The Fae World is a dangerously sexy one and R. Scarlett uses that idea and runs with it in the most sensual and devious ways. I can’t wait for more from this paranormal new-to-me author.

Alice K. Wayne – The Nutcrackers (A Breed Christmas Short)

Balor and Remy are interested characters whose story has only just begun. I’m not quite sure what’s going to happen to these two because we aren’t privy to too many details yet, but this novella will definitely make readers want to see what happens to these two.

Overall Rating: 4 Poison Apples

Loved it!

Descending into Madness by Stacey Marie Brown
I’m mad over this story. I love Alice in Wonderland and Stacey’s spin on Wonderland to Winterland was perfection. I love the characters and want more of Alice & Scrooge. I’m so glad that there will be more to this story, hopefully very very soon lol.

Suck Me by Chantel Fernando

Love Vampires books and reading these chapters has me wanting more of Luca & Valerie. Who doesn’t like a vampire Prince. Can’t wait to read more.

Hero Holiday Trials by Jessica Florence

This was my first book by Jessica and it won’t be my last. A.J has been looking for The One and has found it with Lana but he needs too prove he is worthy. Great read that I really enjoyed.

Oh, Holy Knight by Amelia Hutchins

I really enjoyed this story. Erie has no one and needs too look after herself but Callaghan and her were destined to be together to save their people but Erie wants nothing to do with it. This was an interesting story from the start and I can’t wait to read more.

Devil’s Darling by S.L. Jennings

I absolutely love this short story. Luc & Michael I absolutely loved and I want more. I am definitely checking out the Se7en Sinners series after reading this.

Dyavol by Amo Jones

This is my first book by Amo and it won’t be my last. Once I started reading this book, I was hooked. The characters, the story had me so interested I didn’t want it too end. Can’t wait too read more of Dyavol.

Deck The Demons by Knox & Miers

Love this book. Morgan & Gamble I really enjoyed their story. Anytime you read a Knox & Miers Story, you can’t help but be hooked from the start.

On A Cold Winter’s Night by Kim Loraine

Omg I absolutely love this book. I need to read more of Kim’s books. I love Angel books and Ruby & Gabriel have me hooked.

Buried Destiny by Anne Malcom
Why haven’t I ever read a book by Anne before. After reading this, I am definitely one clicking. Great story with great characters that have me hooked.

The Winter Solstice by R. Scarlett
Omg I need more of this story. Once I started reading I didn’t want too stop. A very interesting mysterious story that I know I will love.

The Nutcracker by Alice K. Wayne
Interesting story that I need more of. The love between Balor and Remy you can feel as your reading. Can’t wait to read more of Balor & Remy’s story.

I enjoyed everyone of these stories and have read some new authors that I will definitely start one clicking.

This a review for A Cold Winters Night by Kim Loraine.
I was never interested in paranormal romance until Kim Loraine. It was just never something that seemed to peek my interest. That was until her Watcher Series! I haven’t read the Siren Coven series and can say that as soon as I leave this review I am off to download those. I need to see if Ruby and Gabriel can find their way back to one another and how it all works out.

Some great PNR by some great authors. Lots of cliffhangers but so worth it
Oh Holy Knight by Amelia Hutchins
This is the beginning of a new PNR series and i’m already hooked! Her characters just pull you into their worlds!

Anne Malcom’s Buried Destiny, found in the Such Violent Delights anthology, is a piece of Anne Malcom’s psyche that begins in her Vein Chronicles series with Book 1, Fatal Harmony. And you must definitely read this series! (and honestly, all of her other books, too!) Once you read this, you will understand!

I can’t possibly explain how an author can create the fantastic worlds that she does in each of her series. Through the depth of her characters, we FEEL Sophie, Isla, and Conall. We embrace the supernatural as if we live it daily-its’s death and it’s destiny. Actions speak louder than words, except in the case of Anne Malcom, whose words create the biggest actions of all!

So far I have only read Anne Malcom’s Buried Destiny and was SOOO excited to get a little snippet of what happened to Sophie. I just FREAKING adore her and her relationship with Isla. These two are so great together. I loved the little snippet into what is to come from Sophie and just trying to imagine what will happen now.

More to come when I read a few more of the stories……

I loved Anne Malcom’s story in this anthology. We get to visit with our favorite sassy,spunky witch. I have missed Sophie and I was so glad that we got a peek into what her book will entail. Now I will be impatiently waiting for the rest!!

I have fallen in love with Anne Malcom’s Paranormal series and this short intro into what is to come with Sophie the witch from this series, had me surprised and loved every word. Cannot wait for whats to come.

The other authors in this amazing Anthology are all new to me and I enjoyed every little entry into new worlds and adventures. If you love paranormal, pick this Anthology up and let yourself escape into all the adventures.
