That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming



After a night of celebrating not being one of the heroes chosen by the Goddess Myva Cinnamon drunkenly makes her way home. Part of the way there she darts off after one of the local trouble makers into the woods only to find a man who appears to have been caught in some sort of landslide. Doing what any good person would she frees him, only to discover far too late that he's a demon. She rushes back home through her family's cinnamon fields only to be tackled by the demon, doing the only thing she can she smacks him in the face with a branch from a cinnamon tree giving her enough time to race home. As a woman wholly allergic to dangers imagine her surprise when the dangerously handsome demon shows up at her home the next morning with an unbelievable tale; it's not the demons that are the bad guys but the "goddess" Myva herself and Cinnamon is just the girl to take her out. 

Any book that starts the MC wine drunk on a quest for cheese is going to be good. Period end of story. Yes, this is exactly like piggy bombs and flaming cows just less violent. And before anyone even thinks it; of course this isn't some high-brow epic fantasy, it's not meant to be. What it was though was a ton of fun with a lovable cast of characters, a super hot Dragon Demon, and a pathetic bad guy who needs other people to do her dirty work. I was absolutely in the worst mood when I started reading this and within a couple of paragraphs, my mood had turned around. Cinnamon is hilarious and Fallon is the absolutely most adorably attentive husband on the planet. 

I enjoyed every second of this and I can't wait to read the second one!

Inheriting Her Ghosts by S.H. Cooper

Eudora Fellowes leads for the most part a simple life, one for a woman of her time may appear to others as odd being single at forty three with only her dogs as companions, but for her she could not ask for anything more. That is until she discovers she is the sole heir to her Great Aunt Emmeline's fortune, including a seaside estate in the country side and while she is a little hesitant at first to accept, remembering little of the aunt or her home she decides a vacation home away from the city may be nice. The minute Mr. Bentley her aunt's solicitor brings her in High Hearth she knows she's made the right choice, the huge mansion may cluttered and too much for one woman and her dogs but she knows that this is her home. What she doesn't know is that others are already there, trapped for eternity, who spiraled from grief to madness.  First of all that cover is next freaking level genius as well as the title it all ties in so well to the story that had I not ...

The Ghost Princess by M. Walsh

When a strange set of occurrences lead a group of complete strangers on a collision course where half of them want the world to end, the other half want to save it, and one man in particular just really isn't supposed to be here a hero will emerge...okay I'm lying a girl with a serious case of PTSD, a half Succubus half Orc demon, and a man with a curse will emerge and well fuck some shit up, which will definitely result in the world being saved. At least for the moment.  Holy fuck this was hands down the surprise 5 star read of the year for me. And I'm going to be completely honest every review prior to mine is what made me move it to the very tippy top of my TBR, because I had barely read the prologue and was already hooked when when I saw some of the ratings.  Ghost Princess was absolutely unlike anything I have ever read and yet reminded me of some of my favorite books and anime. Walsh took some of the most obnoxious tropes ever and made them absolutely freaking...

Katrina has decided to see if the survivors of Vigor will accept her back, which doesn't go over very well, as a kind of peace offering one of the surviving Nobles tells her Jagger her boyfriend from before the war is alive. With nothing to lose and everything to gain Katrina sets off to find Jagger.  In the meantime, Krutch and Arkady are once again tracked down and after getting away (by tumbling off a cliff) he finds himself in a weird Mission, with a weird woman who is far too interested in him. After another escape this time from the mission he and Jessica, aka Audra Fay set off for Seba, where Krutch plans to lie low. Audra has other ideas though and Krutch immediately finds himself rubbing elbows with some of the most powerful men in the Grayland's criminal underworld.  Lily believes she can now live among humans so she heads North only to discover her monstrous instincts are not as under control as she believed. After brutally murdering a guard she flees ba...
