Death Doesn't Bargain
A Deadmen Cross novel book 2 

 I must say, I really savour this one. 
The Deadmen have become my second favourites after the Dark-Hunters. 

AHOY 
This is the story of Cameron Jack (our lass we met in book 1, who came on board to look for his brother) and of one of the seamen, Kalder Dupree. 
The plot has a flow, like a wave- sometimes calm and sometimes tumultuous. I have always loved Kenyon's writing style - no overload of description, average cheesy dialogues, to the point hot scenes and action-packed every now and then. You never get bored. 
And of course, when she brings the other beloved character in the picture. 
The cameos in this one left me screaming. The three T, S and A together. Bickering and looking hot as hell. I died. I had to close the book to get my shit together. 

The revelations in this one were quite interesting. I did not expect Kalder to be something more. I suspected that his real mother would be someone badass, but him to be more than a myrcian. DAMN. Also, I was glad we got to see Kalder's home, not so much about his family (they can all die for all I care. Meurig too). I hope he goes back and rules the place. He is the true King. 

I thought this one was the happy ending story for Kalder and Cam but we have to read the last one to see how the Deadmen's fate end. There sure is a happy event but there are so much danger and evil lurking around them all. 

So in the last book, we are getting the final battle with all the deadmen, along with Thorn and I hope S & A. I expect lots of fangirling screams while reading the last one. Also, I really hope we see the Deadmen or former Deadmen in the future. If they are still around. Or even just mention them.

Magnus Chase and the Ship of the Dead Book Review

Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard #3 EPIC-TASTIC FINALE  I took my time with this one. It was worth savouring each page. I can't express how much I love this series. Magnus, Samirah, Blitz, Hearth, Mallory, T.J and Half-born have become my friends (in my head). The book has the typical Riordan's ingredients. It is hilarious, the adventures just don't stop, the actions even how gruesome it is, you are not horrified, you root for the characters, the plot has a flow and you learn tons on specific mythology, and this case, it's on Norse.  I could not help myself picturing Loki, Odin, Thorn, Heimdall and Frigg as the actors in Marvel's Thor. Though picturing Thor, Chris Hemsworth as a Metallica fan who likes to fart a lot was hard. I had to stretch my imagination there.  I won't summarise the story - those who read the first two will know what is going to happen in this and why our young (mostly dead heroes) are hell-bent in stopping Loki's

Vortex Visions Book Review

Vortex Visions, Book one of the Vortex Chronicles Reading Vortex Visions was like coming back to a place you visited a long time ago. I loved Air Awakens books, with Vhalla and Aldrik. Elise Kova knows how to create worlds and inhuman creatures that become normal for you, such as in the Loom Chronicles. And I expected the same with Vortex Visions, Elise definitely delivered.  Vhalla, being one of my favourite female book characters, it was pretty normal that I love her daughter. She is a good mix of Aldrik and Vhalla. I nearly forgot the promise Vhalla made to Sehra. I'm glad it was not shown how it happened, I wouldn't bear watching Aldrik and Vhalla letting go of Vi. Anyway, few first pages of the book and I was already hooked. We heard about and met the original characters. We met new characters that slowly became my favourites as well, except Andru. His first expression got me suspicious and I nearly hated him.  I must say it took me a while to understand that Romu

Chosen Champion Book Review

Chosen Champion, Book 2, Vortex Chronicles You did not just end the book like this! Fortunately, the next one comes within a week. And contrary to the first book, this one kept me on edge with Vi going on her adventure. I was excited for her that she would finally meet Taavin and then scared as well since she will meet the enemy and as the crown princess, people will just use her to gain more power.  I think the one thing that stood out most in this book is the reveal of the traitor. I must say I am not happy that I wasn't surprised. I was suspicious of that person since the Winter Solstice festival and the person was always grumpy, or on edge. I don't know how to describe it but I know that I did not trust that person at all.  Well, good riddance, though knowing the father of the traitor, I felt a little sad. He doesn't deserve that. I like him from Air Awaken's chronicles. Ugh!  And the second thing that stood out in this book is meeting Vhalla, again. It was
