Honey and Hisses

Book 3 of the Venom Trilogy

Shannon Mayer

5 Bookgasums

Technical/Formatting:  I read the book in the Mobi/Kindle version and found no issues with the formatting.

Story Line: The story starts where book two left off and lead readers easily back into the world of Venom.  Ms. Mayer finishes the story off in a way that most of a reader’s questions are answered and the reader is not left hanging and wondering.

Character Development: Zelda and all of the other characters are well developed and feel as if they are real. You can really come to love or hate the characters which to me is a true sign of how well written the characters are.

Grammar and Other Nit Picking: If there were any errors I was too engrossed in the book to notice them.  Here comes my nit picking.  It felt to me as if Ms. Mayer was almost too tidy in the ending of this story.  As if she knew she was leaving too many unanswered questions.  I like that she did not leave us hanging and wondering but to me its too perfectly wrapped up and some of it is just too unrealistic. I would still like to see this trilogy turned into a full series and see how the world reacts too all of the things that came out during the trilogy.

Book 4 of the Shift Happens Series

4 Bookgasums

Technical/Formatting:  I read the book in the Mobi/Kindle version and found no issues with the formatting.

Story Line:   It’s finally time for the Alpha (Junior) to get his chance at love. This is a fun-filled read with a lot of humor, romance, mystery and action.  I guess you could say it’s the whole ball of wolf hair.

Did Sandy pick the wrong day to grow up?  You will have to read the book to find out.

Character Development: The characters were very well fleshed out.  I can imagine all of them walking down the streets of Hung.  I would even like to hang out with Granny and Dwayne. You quickly become entrenched in their lives and are rooting them on.

Grammar and Other Nit Picking: I found only a few spelling error and they were not so bad as to stop the story flow.

“Kitty puke on cookie sheets”

Technical/Formatting:  I read the book in the Mobi/Kindle version and found no issues with the formatting.

Story Line:  Alena’s story continues and she is up against a new ‘hero’, Theseus.  She is also battling the prejudges of the humans and the court.  Will she prevail?  Will Zeus or any other gods help her or hinder her?

“Kitty puke on cookie sheets”  I just loved this line and find Alena’s use of cuss words similar to mine.

Character Development: Zelda and all of the other characters are well developed and feel as if they are real. You can really come to love or hate the characters which to me is a true sign of how well written the characters are.

Grammar and Other Nit Picking: I don’t think I found any spelling error. The book and the series are one of my all time favorites.

The Rylee Adamson Epilogues Book 3

4.5 Bookgasums

Technical/Formatting:  I read the book in the Mobi/Kindle version and found no issues with the formatting.

Story Line:  The story grabs you right from the start and never lets you down.  Not sure what it was but something Raven said or did had me wondering about his connection to Pamela right from the beginning so I couldn’t put the book down.  I had to see if I was right or not.  I love the Tracker series so having these side stories/books helps keep the story alive.

Character Development: Pamela, Raven, and all of the other characters are well developed and feel as if they are real. You can really come to love or hate the characters which to me is a true sign of how well written the characters are.

Grammar and Other Nit Picking: I don’t remember any spelling error or they were not so bad as to stop the story flow.  I was too engrossed in the story and wondering about the Pam and Raven connection that I didn’t notice anything which to me is a sign of an excellent book.

Anniversary Edition

I had some issues with this trilogy due to not being a fan of post apocalyptic stories and due to the fact that my husband has end-stage kidney failure.  I have read most of Ms. Mayer’s other works and I am a huge fan of her writing.  Ms. Mayer’s does not let you down when it comes to her character development, her storyline and her amazing ability to draw you into the story and have you biting your nails as you turn the pages. 

There are twists and turns that will have you on an emotional roller coaster throughout this trilogy so have your teddy bear, some chocolate and some Kleenex at the ready.

Technical/Formatting:  I read the book in the Mobi/Kindle version and found no issues with the formatting.

Story Line:  In a world torn apart by a supposed medical wonder drug can two people find love?  Is there a cure to be had and if so will it really work? 

Character Development: Sebastian and Mara were well fleshed out characters that you couldn’t help but feel for and cheer on.

Grammar and Other Nit Picking: I found only a few spelling error and they were not so bad as to stop the story flow.

While not a big fan of this trilogy, I will say that Ms. Mayer’s lives up to her great story telling and I look forward to reading more from this fabulous author.

Magic & Mayhem Series

Lucky Charms are not the only thing that is Magically Delicious

Eccentricities abound in Assjacket, WV and I wouldn’t want it any other way.  Ms. Peterman brings us another ‘bang your head’ hilariously funny story in this latest addition to the Magic and Mayhem series.  With lines like, “HoHos were deliciously destructive”, you know you are in for a non-stop redonkious read.

Technical/Formatting:  I read the book in the Mobi/Kindle version and found no issues with the formatting.

Story Line:  While some of the story line was a little out there that is what makes Ms. Peterman’s books so great so I am only deducting one Bookgasum for this.

Character Development: Zelda and all of the other characters are well developed and feel as if they are real. You can really come to love or hate the characters which to me is a true sign of how well written the characters are.

Grammar and Other Nit Picking: I found only a few spelling error and they were not so bad as to stop the story flow.

I cannot wait the next book in this series and in Ms. Peterman’s other series.

“Which monster do you want to become?”

This new trilogy is full of action with a touch of humor and a lot of creativity.  It is the first adult paranormal book I have read that brings in the old Greek gods along with the shifters and vampires.  I found myself singing/humming “Super Trooper” by ABBA while reading the book due to the non humans being called ‘Super Dupers’ by the main character. 

The story flowed effortlessly with me only stopping to research a few Greek gods as I have forgotten most of those stories.  I didn’t find many if any spelling, grammar, or formatting (Kindle version) errors.  I couldn’t put this book down and the end came too quickly for me.  I cannot wait to see what Ms. Mayer’s has in store for Alena and the Super Dupers next.
