Book Review – The Dark Prince by S.L. Jennings

By 34 Comments

The Dark Prince (BOOK #2 in The Dark Light Series) – If you are new to this series, you MUST READ #1 first!!! —> Dark Light (check out my review of #1 but just know that #2 is a 5-STAR PLUS read, for me)

I. Am. ELATED!! This book gutted me in the most intense way. I was romantically floored, then distressed, and in the end? Ah ah ahhhhhh! I’m not saying. 😉

Okay so like… you know when you start a book and it’s good, but our fellow readers are talking about other books that also look good (and that they are enjoying) and you question if you want to check those out right away, just in case? You become a book glutton and can’t focus on just one. You “book-hop” (I’m kind of guilty of this). But I can’t help it ’cause I’m looking for that ultimate book-rush and, if I’m not 100% (or close to that) connected… I can be distracted. Tempted away. read more

Dark Light (The Dark Light Series)
Brought to my attention recently by many enthusiastic readers and even a few enthusiastic authors (two of them are my favorites), so you KNOW I had to read this.

Tiffany: The Dark Light series is a Must Read!! ♥

Michele: Love it!!!

Maryse’s Book Blog: I keep hearing this!

Britto: Loved both books!!! Can not wait for the third!!

Julie: Reading the Dark Light Series, into book 2 now, I really like it! The first 20% of book 1 was a little slow then picked up. Anyone know if there’s a third book or is it just these 2? read more

Whoa! Book #2 just came out and it would seem this series is all the rage right now. Recommendation after recommendation, over the last 24 hours! And yes! With that many recommendations, I read (and enjoyed) #1 already. 🙂 Will be reading #2 tonight.

UPDATE!! Here are my reviews of the first two books (I LOVED!!!!!)

Marina: … just came across a recommendation from Abbi Glines on twitter. “Dark Light” and sequel, “Dark Prince” by S.L. Jennings. She is raving about them. Says she is very picky and she stayed up all night reading them, they are that good…  I may go ahead and buy. Reviewers on amazon say it’s like 50 shades but paranormal. read more

H.P. Mallory – Jolie Wilkins Series Reading Order

By 6 Comments

As suggested by Alisa:

“Please try H.P. Mallory’s two urban fantasy and paranormal romance series — the Jolie Wilkins series and the Dulcie O’Neil series. They are both great and I’m looking forward to her next books in both series!”

About book #1:

Life isn’t bad for psychic Jolie Wilkins. True, she doesn’t have a love life to speak of, but she has a cute house in the suburbs of Los Angeles, a cat and a quirky best friend.

Enter Rand Balfour, a sinfully attractive warlock who insists she’s a witch and who just might turn her life upside down. Rand hires her to help him solve a mystery regarding the death of his client who also happens to be a ghost. Jolie not only uncovers the cause of the ghost’s demise but, in the process, she brings him back to life! read more

About book #1:

Dulcie O’Neil is a fairy. And not the type to frolic in gardens. She’s a Regulator—a law-enforcement agent who monitors the creatures of the Netherworld to keep them from wreaking havoc in the mortal world.

When a warlock is murdered and Dulcie was the last person to see him alive, she must uncover the truth before she’s either deported back to the Netherworld, or she becomes the next victim. read more
