Yoela O. reviewed Ruby Fever by Ilona Andrews
Review of 'Ruby Fever' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
I'm happy for Catalina and Alessandro, but I'll miss them. This book had a lot of twists and turns I almost couldn't keep up, it's awesome! No spoilers here, all I'll say is that all the entire family is comung together nicely and I like how not everyone gets along but they all tolerate each other. I really enjoy all the different dynamics that each member brings, especially the blood-related ones.
On a side note, is the next book going to be about Arabella??? I feel like she's the one I know the least about and I'd be overjoyed to finally get a longer, more detailed look at her perspective. Oh and is she going to get together with the prince??? That sounds like fun lol
Yoela O. reviewed Killing Sarai by J. A. Redmerski
Review of 'Killing Sarai' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
I have read this book before, and I was very happy to find it again. Killing Sarai is the first book I've ever read that featured an assassin as a main character. Perhaps that is why it holds a special place for me.
I remember reading it the first time I loved it and would've given it five stars instantly, but rereading it has allowed me to notice a few little flaws. Overall, this series is still one of my favorites. I like how the writer showed a bit of what happens emotionally to victims of sex trafficking and how difficult it can be to adjust to a "normal" life and move on. I didn't find it too unrealistic and I can understand the confusing roller coaster of Sarai's emotions. I won't spoil the rest of the series too much, but I will say that <spoiler>there will be more portraits …

Cozy, fun, and full of twists!
Goodness! It has been a long time since I read a nice cozy mystery that had so many elements that I was baffled the entire time! Definately worth your time, and absolutely recommended.

Yoela O. reviewed Daughter of Rome by Tessa Afshar
Review of 'Daughter of Rome' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
This book has really showed the forgiveness of Christ Jesus. I loved how each character either taught about the love of Christ in an inspiring way, or discovered His love in a way that changed their lives forever.
Following Priscilla and the people whom she helps and encourages is truly inspiring. I loved the personal growth and the spiritual growth she, and others, went through. It all showed that their is no one too far gone for God to forgive.

Review of 'My Lovely Wife' on 'Storygraph'
5 stars
This was a quick read that I really enjoyed. The plot twist was unexpected, and the ending was pretty good. Following murders from the eyes of someone who helped find the victims, but didn't take part in the actual killing was new for me. Overall, I would definately recommend this.

I love this series! New factors and angels, bigger plot, and a lot more chaos! Leda Pandora, the Angel of Chaos, Angel of Hope, and Angel of the People is going to change the whole universe, I just know it!

Everything has been revealed! Or has it? There are still more secrets to uncover and the gods are still scheming and warring, what is going to happen next?...
I really enjoyed the gods and their games in this book; I also enjoyed Leda and Nero being “enemies” and Colonel Fireswift (always have to look at his name to remember it, too many things go with fire) actually working with Pandora, the undignified street urchin. But most of all, I loved discovering each god's secrets and seeing how it all connected.
Leda's father wasn't surprising, yet interesting. Her mother still hasn't made a scene, though we do know her name now. We also learned a bit more of how Leda's magic works; how different it is for the others and how much of a weapon she is.
The book left off with a cliffhanger (unsurprisingly), and another mystery that questions Nero's …

Oof, I was very wrong when I thought this book didn't have enough mystery to be labeled as such, it's awesome how much was cramped into it.
