Poetic Review - The Immortal by Gena Showalter

 

New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter delivers The Immortal, the second dark and sexy book in her Rise of the Warlords series, featuring a cold, merciless assassin and a stubborn harpy warrior... one fated to die by the other's hand.

Halo Phaninon, assassin of gods, is as cold and merciless as a machine. For victory, he crosses any line. When tasked to kill twelve of mythology’s fiercest monsters in twenty-four hours, Halo eagerly accepts. Except, each morning he awakens to the same day, forced to relive new horrors. Only one other person retains their memory—the beauty who threatens his iron control.

Ophelia the Flunk Out hates her disaster of a life. She’s the family disappointment, a harpy warrior without a kill and powerless—or is she? Nearly every night she’s doomed to repeat her own murder, but each morning she arises to spar with Halo, the ruthless warlord increasingly determined to save her…and lure her to his bed.

Halo’s insatiable desire for the stubborn Ophelia drives him wild…and he only craves more. If he remains in the time loop, they stay together. But if he escapes, they lose each other forever.

We return to the world of the Astra Planeta and the harpies,
With Halo the Machine and Ophelia the... I'll not spoil this.
If you want to find out what her moniker would be as of late,
You have to read the whole book, as you should anyway.

At the beginning the hero is described to be robotic and cold,
But it is soon revealed he is the best anybody could ask for.
He has strength, intelligence, loyalty and stamina,
Only, he never saw one harpymph coming in Harpina.

Because this heroine in not afraid to go toe-to-toe,
With him, or their leaders, or the big bad foe.
We didn't meet her previously, and that we can regret,
As she is rather sassy, sexy, funny and passionate.

Their banter is one great asset of the story,
But the unique plot and action also deserves glory.
Adding to that the world building and the side characters,
This series is auto-buy, like anything Gena Showalter's.

Poetic Review - Legacy of Temptation by Larissa Ione

Eva Tennant, like everyone at The Aegis, hates demons. But she loves her job as Deputy Spokesperson for the global demon-slaying organization, and she’s excited to be in the running for Chief Spokesper-son. All she has to do is not screw up the two-week exchange program with The Aegis’s rival agency, the Demon Activity Response Team. But things go horribly wrong when a murder turns her into a fugi-tive from justice and puts a demonic target on her back. Logan, son of the Horseman of the Apocalypse known as Death, has dedicated his life to fighting de-mons alongside his colleagues at DART. He loves fighting, females, and his pet hellhound, Cujo.
