*HELLO*

Welcome to my blog. I'm just a regular person that enjoys reading. I participate in multiple online bookclubs as well as monthly and yearly reading challenges. I love discussing the books that I've read, and plan on reading. Although I'll post my book reviews from various genre's, most will be from romance sub-genre's such paranormal romance, sci-fi romance, and romantic suspense; in addition to urban fantasy.

Working for the Devil (Dante Valentine, #1)Working for the Devil by Lilith Saintcrow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the first book that I've read by Lilith Saintcrow, I really enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to finishing the Dante Valentine series. I had this one this one my shelf for a while, and avoided reading it as I've grown tired of reading about a string of tough girl heroines that are poorly written, and just end up more annoying than anything else. Well, that definitely wasn't the case with Dante Valentine in my opinion. Although tough, I felt like her character had a good balance between toughness and healthy fear. Which was pretty refreshing. Aside from Dante, the other characters introduced into the story added to it quite a bit. I hope they're featured in every novel. I liked the combo of the fantasy/ paranormal combined with the tech/ futuristic theme; so much so that I found it difficult to stop reading once I really got into the story. Even though this is the first book in the series, and there were a few questions I still had by the end, the story felt complete to me. That said, I'm looking forward to getting more into the world building as the series progresses.
