BLOG TOUR REVIEW: The Necromancer's Bride by Brianna Hale

Title: The Necromancer's Bride

Author: Brianna Hale

Genre: Dark Fantasy Romance

Release Date: October 20, 2018

When I was a child he brought me back from the brink of death. Since that day I have borne his mark, a black star in the center of my left palm. The villagers say it brands me as evil. I think it means something far worse. It marks me as his.

The disease that nearly killed me has returned to the village and children are dying. I’m the only one who dares to climb the mountain and learn his secrets. In exchange I’m to clean his house and help with his strange experiments, but Meremon wants more. He wants me. And it isn’t long before I discover that his demands are as twisted as his experiments.

Warning: This story is a dark fantasy romance with scenes of non-consent and dubious consent. Additionally, Meremon is a necromancer and enjoys unusual things. Some sex scenes might be strange or creepy for some readers.

As always with Brianna Hale books, no cheating, and a guaranteed happily ever after. THE NECROMANCER’S BRIDE is a novella of 16,000 words.

There’s nothing Brianna Hale likes more than a large, stern alpha male with a super-protective and caring streak, and when she’s not writing about them she can usually be found with a book, a cocktail, planning her next trip to a beautiful location or attending the theatre. She believes that pink and empowerment aren’t mutually exclusive, and everyday adventures are possible. Brianna lives in London.

Sonja's Review

I love dark, paranormal, and out of the box books whether those three elements are separate or whether they are all combined into one story, so when I saw The Necromancer’s Bride, I was immediately intrigued by it. Taking that into consideration along with the fact that I’ve been meaning to read Brianna Hale for awhile, I decided to give this book a try. And t’s not a choice that I regret — The Necromancer’s Bride was interesting, unique, and I enjoyed reading it. 

Despite the hero being a necromancer and death as a result being a feature in this story, it didn’t really feel that dark to me. It was actually very sweet with some dirty goodness and a touch of heartache and longing thrown in. The Necromancer’s Bride is very fast read and if you love a Halloween tale, then this one is perfect for you as long as you’re willing to give it a chance and be open to all kinds of possibilities.

BLOG TOUR REVIEW: Perfectly Flawed by Dani René

Title: Perfectly Flawed

Author: Dani René

Genre: New Adult Romance Standalone

Release Date: September 24, 2018

This new adult, emotional rollercoaster that’s hitting Kindles on September 24th is one of the most anticipated romances of 2018!

I was fourteen when I met him, danced with him, and fell for him. 

I was sixteen when Ryder left me with a forbidden promise. 

Now I’m twenty, and he’s back, but he has a secret. 

I walked out as the boy Piper had loved for far too long. 

Now I’m back as a man who’s broken, angry, and flawed. 

Yet, each time she looks at me, it’s as if I’m perfect.

Can we have a second chance at love?

Or will our next dance be our last?

Sonja's Review 

I’m relatively new to Dani René, I had only read three of her books when she was working on Perfectly Flawed and I was debating on whether or not to read it. The synopsis intrigued me, but it wasn’t until I saw a teaser for it that really had me thinking, oh, yeah, I'm going to read it! I was very excited and when I finally started and finished it, it wasn’t what expected. I really wanted to love Perfectly Flawed, but I didn’t love it or even particularly like or enjoy it. It had nothing to do with Ms. René’s writing though and I don’t regret reading it because while I wasn’t really feeling this book, I loved the idea/message behind it and I loved that the hero and heroine were able to overcome the obstacles in their way. 

There were good aspects to Perfectly Flawed. It surprised me in some ways both good and not so good and not at all in others. It was sweet and heart melting and had beautiful moments. It frustrated me at times, but it did engage me and make me react. My experience of reading Perfectly Flawed didn’t turn out like I thought it would, but I don’t feel disappointed with it. The writing truly was excellent and I will read Ms. René again.
