Saved by Blood, by Sadie Moss | Book Review

Hello and welcome back to Adele Is Reading.
Today on the blog I have my book review of:

Saved by Blood, by Sadie Moss.

Saved by Blood is the first book in the The Vampire’s Fae series.

Trigger / Content Warnings: Fighting, Blood, Kidnapping (Main character wakes up in a room she doesn’t recognize, and tied to a bed she can’t escape from–scene is over quickly and she’s untied, and released), Skin-carving (from an assailant), Murder mention, Kidnapping mention.

They found me nearly dead. To save me, they had to turn me…
When I moved to New York after a bad divorce, I planned to re-invent myself… I just had no idea the ‘new me’ would be a vampire.

Or that the three (yes, three!) vampires who turned me would be the hottest, most frustrating men I’d ever met.

Now creepy shadow monsters are stalking me, and I don’t know why. But teaming up with these dangerously sexy brothers may be my best chance for survival, even though being around them does weird things to my heart.

The old me was too scared to even start dating again.

The new me?

She wants to devour all three of them.

This is the first book in The Vampires’ Fae Series, a medium-burn reverse harem story intended for ages 18+. This book contains strong language, sexual situations, and a heroine who doesn’t have to choose between her men.

From GoodReads [x]:

“REVERSE HAREM” IS, LITERALLY, THE OPPOSITE OF “HAREM”, WITH A GROUP OF MALES CENTERING ROUND A SINGULAR FEMALE, USUALLY WITH THREE OR MORE MALES. QUITE OFTEN FOUND UNDER THE ROMANCE GENRE.

Good start to the trilogy, though I believe that I am stopping my reading of The Vampire’s Fae series.

July 2019 Wrap Up

Hello friends! How was your July?

My July was….good, at the beginning of the month. The rest of July seemed to drag on, and on and on. Yet now that I’m thinking back on this past month, time flew by. I got quite a bit of reading done, which I’m happy about. I also posted a few things as well. I’m trying to post more than just book reviews, so if you have any post recommendations throw ’em at me.

I hope July treated you and yours well.

Enjoy!

Spark, by Sadie Moss | Book Review

Hello friends! Today I have my book review of Spark, by Sadie Moss.

Spark is the first book in the Academy of Unpredictable Magic series. 

Trigger Warnings: Sex Scenes, Murder Mention, Assault Mention.

***Academy Reverse Harem***

Magic exists. I know—it’s in my blood.

Unfortunately, not all people from magical bloodlines have powers, and at 22, I’m several years past the age they usually appear. So I’ve resigned myself to a boring, magic-less life.

Then something strange happens…

I get stuck in the middle of a bar fight, and instead of just punching the guy back, I blow a hole in the wall.

So… I guess I do have powers. But they’re unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. This shit is definitely not normal.

And it seems the magical authorities agree, because they give me a choice: either I go to school to learn to control my crazy new magic, or they’ll take it away. Permanently.

Now if I can just survive the bitchy mean girls determined to take me down a peg, the mysterious attacks on students, the three hot-as-hell guys who don’t seem turned off by my prickly exterior, and the professor who makes me long for detention, maybe I’ll get out of here in one piece.

Wouldn’t bet on it though.

Welcome to the Academy of Unpredictable Magic.

Spark is the first book in the Academy of Unpredictable Magic series, a medium-burn reverse harem story intended for ages 18+, featuring a badass chick and the four sexy men who fall in love with her.

From GoodReads [x]:

“REVERSE HAREM” IS, LITERALLY, THE OPPOSITE OF “HAREM”, WITH A GROUP OF MALES CENTERING ROUND A SINGULAR FEMALE, USUALLY WITH THREE OR MORE MALES. QUITE OFTEN FOUND UNDER THE ROMANCE GENRE.

I had hoped that I’d end up enjoying Spark.

Wolf Freed, by Sadie Moss | Book Review

Hello friends! Today I have my book review of Wolf Freed, by Sadie Moss.

Wolf Freed is the fourth and final book in the The Last Shifter series. 

Trigger Warnings: Guns, Gun Violence, Pregnancy

This ends here. It ends with us.

After seeing the horrors Strand inflicted in the name of research, I thought they couldn’t surprise me anymore.

I was wrong.

When we learn the truth behind Doctor Shepherd’s experiments, it changes everything. Armed with that knowledge, we may finally have a way to end the Shifter Initiative once and for all.

But even as we dig up Strand’s secrets and prepare for our final confrontation with them, I’m keeping a secret of my own. From my pack, and even worse… from my mates.

When they find out what I’ve been hiding, will I lose everything I’ve been fighting for?

Wolf Claimed is the thrilling conclusion to The Last Shifter series, a reverse harem story intended for ages 18+. This book contains strong language, violence, sexual situations, and a fierce heroine who doesn’t have to choose between her men.

From GoodReads [x]:

“REVERSE HAREM” IS, LITERALLY, THE OPPOSITE OF “HAREM”, WITH A GROUP OF MALES CENTERING ROUND A SINGULAR FEMALE, USUALLY WITH THREE OR MORE MALES. QUITE OFTEN FOUND UNDER THE ROMANCE GENRE.

To be honest with you, I didn’t know where this last book would lead us. There were so many different possibilities the story could go, especially with how Wolf Claimed had ended.

Wolf Claimed, by Sadie Moss | Book Review

Hello friends! Today I have my book review of Wolf Claimed, by Sadie Moss.

Wolf Claimed is the third book in the The Last Shifter series. 

Trigger Warnings: Guns, Gun Violence, Attempted Kidnapping, Sex Scenes

I wish this was our happily ever after. But it’s not.

My mates and I got what we wanted—we found Rhys’s sister. We should be celebrating, but the danger is far from over.

Our welcome into the Lost Pack was frosty at best, and tensions between old and new blood threaten to boil over. Crammed too close together, trapped by our fear, we’re hardly better off here than we were at Strand.

If my men and I can’t unite the two packs, they’ll tear each other apart before Doctor Shepherd and his hunters even have a chance to find us again.

I won’t let that happen.

My wolf has claimed each of these four men. And the deeper I fall in love with them, the more determined I am to create a real future for us.

But to do that, I’m going to have to fully accept the truth of who I am… and what I am.

Wolf Claimed is the third book in The Last Shifter series, a reverse harem story intended for ages 18+. This book contains strong language, violence, sexual situations, and a fierce heroine who doesn’t have to choose between her men.

From GoodReads [x]:

“REVERSE HAREM” IS, LITERALLY, THE OPPOSITE OF “HAREM”, WITH A GROUP OF MALES CENTERING ROUND A SINGULAR FEMALE, USUALLY WITH THREE OR MORE MALES. QUITE OFTEN FOUND UNDER THE ROMANCE GENRE.

To my surprise, Wolf Claimed starts a few weeks after Wolf Called ended. I thought Wolf Claimed would start where Wolf Called left off. 

I actually found that Wolf Claimed was a tad-bit predictable.

June 2019 Wrap-Up

Hello friends! Today I have my June Wrap-Up! We’re halfway through the year–how do we feel about that?! I myself am not liking how fast time flows the older I get.

Today’s post is my June 2019 Monthly Wrap-Up. Enjoy!

What I read:

(Spoilers) Wolf Called, by Sadie Moss | Book Review

Hello friends! Today I have my book review of Wolf Called, by Sadie Moss.

Wolf Called is the second book in the The Last Shifter series. 

Trigger Warnings: Kidnapping, Car Accident, Sex Scenes, Gun Violence, Death.

My world was a gray blur until I met them. My shifters. The men who rescued me from the lie I was living.

For a brief moment, even in the midst of chaos, I found happiness.

Then Strand found me again.

Now my new life hangs in the balance.

Doctor Shepherd isn’t done with his little experiment, and he wants me back, alive. When Strand hunters rip me away from everything good I fought so hard for, something inside me snaps.

But when my wolf is finally called, her untamed power upends everything in my life—including my relationships with the four shifter men who mean more to me than anything.

There’s a monster inside me. And she’ll either save me or destroy me.

Wolf Hunted, by Sadie Moss | Book Review

Hello friends! Today I have my book review of Wolf Hunted, by Sadie Moss.

Wolf Hunted is the first book in the The Last Shifter series.

Trigger Warning: Guns and Gun Violence, Sex Scenes

***Paranormal Reverse Harem***

Four renegade wolf shifters. An innocent young woman trapped in a web of lies. When their fates collide, sparks will fly…

Diagnosed with a rare terminal illness, I’ve spent over half my life in the Strand Corporation’s state-of-the-art treatment facility. I keep my chin up and do everything the doctors order, praying one day I’ll walk out of here in perfect health.

But when that day finally arrives, it’s nothing like I hoped it would be. Instead, it comes in a hail of gunfire, along with four distractingly handsome men who say they’re here to rescue me.

On the run with these mysterious men and hunted by the very people I believed were my caretakers, I begin to realize nothing is what I thought it was.

Turns out, I’m not really sick.

I’m not completely human either…

From GoodReads [x]:

“REVERSE HAREM” IS, LITERALLY, THE OPPOSITE OF “HAREM”, WITH A GROUP OF MALES CENTERING ROUND A SINGULAR FEMALE, USUALLY WITH THREE OR MORE MALES. QUITE OFTEN FOUND UNDER THE ROMANCE GENRE.

I didn’t know what quite to expect when I started reading Wolf Hunted. All that I really knew about this story was that 1. it was a shifter novel, and 2., Wolf Hunted + series was a Reverse Harem story. Which might be my new favourite thing.

Within Wolf Hunted, there is one point of view: Alexis. I quite like her character and I am excited to see what she brings to the story.

Though to be honest, I’m kind of over the I’ve been in a hospital/asylum for X-amount of time, and your my first love! trope.  

The first seven chapters of Wolf Hunted are wild—there’s so much that happens. We start reading Alexis’ story and we’re off on a chase. I’m not kidding when I say that the plot of this story is incredibly fast. I’m talking whirlwind fast. And with the amount of plot that we’re given, Wolf Hunted was like a speed-read for me.

We learn that Alexis had been lied to for her whole life, that the ones she considered a second family to her, were all lying to her. So Alexis’ life was evidently ripped away from her when she found out the truth. —- Everything that Alexis knew was a lie. Honestly, I want to say that this was a huge surprise, but it isn’t. Whenever I read captivity stories this is always how things are.

Once I hit the 8th chapter mark, from then on it felt like a race to get to where Alexis and her guys were by the end of Wolf Hunted. 

And how Wolf Hunted ended had me downloading the second book right after I finished this review. 

I give Wolf Hunted, 3 stars.

Have you read anything by Sadie Moss? Did you enjoy it?

Thanks for stopping by!

See you soon, and Happy Reading!

May 2019 Wrap-Up & Book Haul

Hello friends! Welcome to my May 2019 Wrap-Up!

I hope May has treated you well; and if not I’m sorry May was a bad month for you..

My May was very entertaining reading wise. Aside from reading though, May is also one of the busiest months of the year for my family. We have Mother’s Day, my dads birthday, my parents wedding anniversary, and finally, my sister’s birthday on the 31st.

 

Despite the busy month, I actually managed to read a ton of books. *whispers* I also managed to buy more ebooks than I thought I did. WHOOPS!

Enjoy!
