Review: Born of Fury

Born of Fury by Sherrilyn Kenyon

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Again, it's another one that I totally forgot to write the review for. In part, it's really because I was utterly consumed by reading it. That was my entire focus. I love the League series. Even more, I love the Hauk brothers and to read the first of their books was absolutely a wonder and a thrill. I love the story and I love the characters. I love the world that they live in. I love that she gives more details of the world that we thought we knew and starts to show some things for what they truly are beyond what you could ever have thought you imagined.

I love the way that the world was built. I loved the way that you get to see more and more of the little details and specifics that make the world real. I especially love the hero and the heroine. Sumi and Hauk are definitely two of my favorites so far. Their story is beautiful and dangerous. Every moment you're wondering if some choice that they make will tear them apart of why they haven't realized they're not actually going to do what they think they're doing.

I know some people say that all of Sherrilyn's heroes are battered and tortured, but really it's so much more than that. We're all battered and tortured in some way. We all have hardships. We all face things that seem like insurmountable odds and no matter the circumstances we come from whether they be horrible like Darling and Hauk and Nyk or lives that are rather normal like Ture, there is always the chance for us to have a happy ending, for things to work out okay. There will always be people to love us and watch out for us. And people are never so simple as you think they are.

Review: Cloak and Silence

Cloak and Silence by Sherrilyn Kenyon

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



So I actually finished this book a while back and I had meant to write up the review for it a lot sooner, but clearly that did not happen. This book was one that was really hard to find, but most certainly worth the hunt.

Now I can't say that I care much either way if someone is straight, gay, bisexual, or any other oddity, but this is the first book that I have read that did feature a gay couple as its main pairing and I do not regret it in the least. With her typical grace and attention to detail, Sherrilyn brings us back into the Ichadian universe and shows us that everyone deserves to be happy.

The story of Ture and Maris is beautiful and troubled. It is a story that makes you hope and oh so very afraid because you can't help but wonder if everything is going to be okay. And then it is and in that moment, everything is okay. The world seems right. nd what more could you ask for in a book? It doesn't matter if the pair are straight or both of the same gender. You find that you don't care. The only thing that matters is their happy ending.

And you cannot doubt, it is a happy ending.

Review: Born of Silence

Born of Silence by Sherrilyn Kenyon

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I have said it before and I'll probably end up saying it a million more times before I go, but I really do love Sherrilyn Kenyon and the books that she writes. And while I started out with just the Dark-Hunter books, I am happily branching out into other areas and thoroughly enjoying the world that she creates. Sherrilyn is vivid in her story telling and very precise. There is no question what is going on or if she knows what she is doing. She has a way of drawing the reader into her world and showing them exactly what you mean. And once you start on the ride, you really can't stop. Oh you can certainly try, but it usually doesn't work that way and in all honesty, you don't want it to. You don't want the stories to end or the thrills to stop.

These characters and their world become like a new home. And it is something that you cannot help but cherish and adore. The way that Sherrilyn writes, if I could be half as good, I would consider myself lucky. Without a doubt, if you haven't read anything by her, you should start now. Pick up one of her books, any of them and start in on an adventure you will never regret.

Review: Born of Shadows

Born of Shadows by Sherrilyn Kenyon

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



To say that I love Sherrilyn Kenyon is probably an understatement. There are some people who would probably say she is simply a guilty pleasure. I would say that is a very unfair assessment. She creates rich and diverse worlds with plot lines and overarching tales that follow through her stories and can easily leave a reader hoooked and begging for more. She has moments of humor and moments that tear at your hearts. Moments where you can't breathe through the excitement and moments where you simply decide that sleep is overrated.

Born of Shadow definitely fills in all of those boxes with the appropriate yet. Returning back to the first generation of the League characters, I was introduced to several new characters that I absolutely adore as well as given further insight into characters that I'd already met and come to love. You don't have to love science fiction to love the League books, Sherrilyn certainly takes that aspect and makes it her own and I can't wait to get off work and read the next one!

Review: Born of Ice

Born of Ice by Sherrilyn Kenyon

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Sometimes you just need a bit of a delicious guilty pleasure to get you through some stress and that is basically what this book was for me. Just a little while ago, I started my training as a counter team lead (front counter manager) at my work place. It's good and I think I can do it, but it doesn't change how stressful it was. So a few days ago, I bought the book and started to read it and once more Sherrilyn had me falling in love with her characters and the world she created. She breathes life into the world she made and draws her readers there along for the ride.

I absolutely adored everything that happened and I can't help but love it all. I can only dream to have that kind of impact, to be that good myself one day and I have to say, that without a doubt, Sherrilyn Kenyon is an author everyone should try and one that I truly and honestly respect. This book is the third in a series that brought back characters I have adored from the first two books as well as characters that I have grown to love who were just recently introduced. The world is, as always vivid and full of frustration not because of plot holes, but honestly because of how real everyone and everything is.
