Paper Dolls by Rue Volley5 StarsSet in a world after an alien attack, Paper Dolls, is a well detailed and brilliant beginning to what I hope is going to be a new series. In roughly 30 pages, I ran the ranges of emotion! The details of what the world had become. The changes shown in human thinking and behavior. The struggles that took such a toll on the characters, changing them indefinitely! The main character, Hope, is such a strong personality with a definitive, yet narrow, viewpoint of her world. I watched as her personality and conviction stayed true throughout the story even as she made new realizations that changed her stance in how she viewed her life. A fantastic story with amazingly bold and realistic characters!Blowing off Steam by Molly Hammerman4 StarsThis short story is just enough to give me a glimpse of the characters personalities. I enjoyed meeting the captain and hearing her inner dialog. It’s my take that she is the main character but I would have to say Ichiro stayed on my mind much more than Jessamine. If the author turned this into a series I would definitely purchase it!Conjuring Pleasure by Hannah Nixin5 StarsI was fully engrossed in this story! I loved everything about it! All aspects of this story were so well developed; it was like reading a full length novel. I got to know the characters and I fell in love with the world. I was kept guessing at what would happen at the end, how would it work out! That’s my favorite part of reading; getting so involved with the character’s lives and hoping they get their happily ever after, and accepting it when they don’t!The Hunted Heart by Aurelia Fray5 StarsWow! Words cannot convey how amazing this story was! It has all the elements I look for in a great story! There was a little mystery, intrigue, action, and a great romance! The characters were astonishing and the storyline was magnificent. It really flowed well and kept me interested from beginning to end! This is the first time I’ve ever read Aurelia Fray but I am hooked!Demon in Steam by Lexi Ostrow4 StarsThe characters were well paired and I liked the surprise of their situation as it came about. It’s was a fun story to read and the sex scenes were exciting and hot!
