Book Review: All About the Bear by Bianca D'Arc (Grizzly Cove Book 1)

     Nell and her two sisters moved to a sleepy town called Grizzly Cove, Washington and started their business. Everything was going great until she abruptly realized that they were the only humans in a town of shifters. Now, the sheriff who she has had a thing for since she moved in is pursuing her and no longer has a reason to hold back. Can she keep the secret and possibly gain so much more? 

    This is a book I downloaded for free during a promo and I am glad I did. It is a cute, fast paced, little read. Emphasis on little. The entire story is 80 pages long. As cute as the story is it isn't long enough or exciting enough to justify a $5 price tag. Free worked well as a snippet into the series. I really liked the characters and the setting. I am trying not to give everything within the book away as it is very short. 

    Brody has wanted Nell since she first came to town, but since she was a human there was nothing that could be done. Until a drunk came to town and shifted right in front of her. Now that the secret is out she is fair game. As long as she can keep the secret that is. But Brody has no doubts that she can keep their secret and hopefully his bed warm. 

    I am sure Nell's sisters will be getting their own books in this series and that would also be a fun read. I am hoping for a bit more girth to them, however. And maybe a bigger arc than if she's going to accept him or not.

Book Review: The Coven by Harper L Woods (Coven of Bones Book 1)

     Willow has been raised her entire life to join the coven and tear it down from the inside. Her father made sure of it. Male witches must choose between keeping their powers and reproducing, but since he was hidden by his sister instead of being reported to the council he lived. She however, never survived the academy. Willow is the only product of two powered witches and she must keep that heritage a secret if she is to fulfil her goal. Protect her own little brother and destroy the Coven. But, Alaric is throwing a wrench in her plans. 

    This book was in one of my smut groups as a "hey I could not finish this book because of all the satanic elements". Well that resulted in me needing to read it and downloading it immediately as my TBR mourned the loss of actually being touched. I regret nothing. 

    Reading this book quickly spiraled into downloading and reading book 2 because this book ends on one hell of a cliff-hanger. I loved it. All of the main elements were wrapped up and then bam. Right in your face with something that you needed to keep reading. I loved Willow and I loved Alaric. I have to say that if you told me who he was at the very beginning of the book I wouldn't have believed it, but by midway through? Absolutely. 

    After the initial forest scene I was beyond hooked on this book and it's sassy main character. I made my best work friend and aunt both download it. Well Tina technically bought the physical copy, but I think that was solely for the purpose of annoying her very Christian wife. I love that about and for her. They both also absolutely adored this book and I have yet to hear anything from Tina's wife about me being a bad influence over it so I think I'm safe. 

    This is action, adventure, smut, and so many feels. He is the epitome of morally grey and you have no idea just how much until book 2. I genuinely hated one of the characters in this book, Iban. Second book did not disappoint in that regard, but you'll have to read that yourself after you finish this book. Although, literally anyone on the Council is also fair game for that title. 

    I can't say for certain which type of power Willow had that I loved the most, although it is probably the Earth magic just because of the aforementioned forest scene and she is pretty amazing at it. Then there is Alaric Throne. Gods I love a touch her and die book and I already cannot wait till book 3 comes out. I will be adding these books to my shelves as they are amazing, and have sprayed edges.
