The Spirit Guide - Elizabeth Davies

Ok so this book is a little different to the ones I normally read. Let's face it, I love a good Alpha, Dom/sub, contemporary romance type book. So you'll notice that this book is so very different from 'my type'.

This can only mean one thing! The author has asked me to read it and review it.

I must say I was so close to saying no. Mainly because I don't normally do ghosts or werewolves or vampires or anything I don't believe in. But I'm all for fairness and I always maintain the 'I'll try anything once' attitude, so I thought don't look a gift horse in the mouth and give it a go.

The Spirit Guide - Synopsis

Seren has an unusual gift – she sees spirits, the shades of the dead. 

Terrified of being accused of witchcraft, a very real possibility in twelfth century Britain, she keeps her secret close, not even confiding in her husband. 

But when she gives her heart and soul to a man who guides spirits in the world beyond the living, she risks her secret and her life for their love.

Rachel's Review

As mentioned above this is not my normal reading fodder. It took me a while to get into it mainly because of my feelings about ghosts and spirits. I ended putting it down and picking it back up several times.

It is, however, a seriously beautifully written book. So descriptive and evokes so many images of 12th century Britain, this is obviously the authors forte. Instead of brown eyes there were 'eyes the colour of pine martin fur'. I mean how beautiful is that! 

I'm also partial to books based in the UK at least when I'm reading it the voice in my head is probably close to what they sound like,

Although this book wouldn't be my first choice, anyone that loves historical/ paranormal romances needs to read this book. 

Rachel's Rating

Not my thing but still 3.5 stars for the beautiful writing. ***

Coming For You (Dirty, Dark, and Deadly Series) - JA Huss

I have been waiting for this book to come out for-ever! I was so excited I even bumped it up my to be read list.

I found myself reading it whenever I could. This included on my phone stood in a queue at the supermarket, waiting for the kettle to boil at work and whilst Mr Ignored was talking to me about something (I'm pretty sure I didn't agree to anything whilst he was talking so its all good!)

I think reading this book made me decide to create a JA Huss devotion page. It was that good. before you read my review of this book please take time to read my review of the first two books here.

I don't think I gave the first two books enough praise. I re-read my review and I feel it lacks the enthusiasm I felt when I was reminiscing about them before I read this book. So shame on me. Bad blogger. 

Anyhoo! On to a review that's more enthusiastic!! 

Coming For You - Synopsis


James, Harper, and Sasha are products of their environment. Born into a secret organization that runs a global shadow government, and taught to kill since they were small, they find themselves both indispensable and expendable to all the people they used to trust.

Twenty-eight year old James Fenici has been an assassin since he was sixteen. He’s amassed debts and favours from countless Company brothers and participated in hundreds of Company jobs. But there are not enough favours in the world to clear his debt and make him worthy of the only girl he’s ever wanted.

Eighteen year old Harper Tate is the girl who doesn’t exist. Born and raised on a megayacht in a tropical paradise, she was destined to be a secret until now. No history, no records, and manipulated into having no opinions or ambition of her own, Harper is suddenly presented with more choices than she can handle.

Thirteen year old Sasha Cherlin is the girl who knows everything and understands nothing at all. Her future is filled with vengeance and death, but her dreams are filled with hope and a promise. A promise who no longer wants her.

The game is on, the pieces are in place, and the players have everything to lose. But who can you trust when everyone’s a traitor?

Rachel's Review

Ok so part way through I was like, WHAT?! and then I was like WHOA!? Anyone that's read the first two books in this series will have probably been slightly confused and thoroughly set up and primed for an fantastic ending.

This book was, like the last two superbly written. It boggles my mind how Julie must have thought of every twist and turn. There were plots within plots and some fabulous surprises. I loved this book and loved having my questions answered. It was a fabulous concept and nothing like I'd ever read before, or since. Bravo lovely Julie for writing a trilogy of fantabulous books!

My advice, get all three and read them one after the other. Then go out and buy everything else JA has written! (Social Media, Rook and Ronin, Slack/Taut and everything else!)

Definitely a 4 star book ****
