Riley Blackthorne’s life as a Demon Trapper is about to hit the wall. Knowing she will always be a target for those who want to exploit her “connections” with Hell, she’s learning defensive magic. It seems the only way to ensure she and her fiancé, Denver Beck, have a future together. But not everyone in Atlanta, or at the Vatican, is pleased by this news. In fact, some want to ban the use of all magic, and Riley would make the perfect scapegoat. As a new demonic enemy stalks her, Guild politics roil the city, throwing the trappers into chaos. To protect herself and the man she loves, Riley will be forced to continue in her legendary father’s footsteps, or carve her own path. A path that may well lead to her losing everything she so desperately seeks to protect.
It's been soooooooo long since I've read this series but I remembered adoring it! I guess the publishers only had a 4 book deal with Jana as I remember the last 3 books I think were published elsewhere. Mind Games by Jana Oliver made it to my TBR pile in November of 2015. It continues Riley's story in a world riddled with demons and she was the daughter of a demon trapper--if you couldn't already tell! Lol. I loved her and I loved Denver Beck! But man, it's been sooooo long, I really can't remember the storyline that much. This one was published in 2015 and as I referred to Goodreads for the list I just saw ANOTHER ONE was published in 2021! Where the heck have I been?!!! So needless to say I need to get back to this series and possibly reread books 1-4. The last full length book was out in 2012 with a novella in 2013 and THEN this one came out in 2015 with the next one in 2017! So the longer wait between books might have messed me up and how I missed the one from 3 years ago is another thing entirely! And all my books are in storage so it's gonna be a nightmare looking for them! Lol.
I gotta find me a house so I can move all those books into it instead of playing dive into the storage unit every time I need a book!
Congrats, winners!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jessica! You made me so happy. Congrats again on 11 years!
ReplyDeleteI'm so curious about Where Dreams Descend! I can't wait to check that one out and I'm looking forward to your review!

ReplyDeleteI'm actually struggling with it a bit. It's moving a little too slow for me. :(
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Illuminae was so much fun.
ReplyDeleteGreythorne has a beautiful cover!
ReplyDeleteI am shocked to see Caraval as your number one pick. *wink, wink* I loved Illumniae too. Such a fabulous and creative book.
ReplyDeleteI really need to read Slayer! I'm not sure what's taking me so long. I've also seen Crave a lot lately so I'm excited you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeletei've read heartless and saw slayer on another site. looks like a good one

I have the ARC of the first one sitting waiting to be read. I've got to get it read! Love this author! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Wednesday post
I love Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me series and was excited to try her other books. I tried Futhermore and just couldn't get into it at all. Another thing I hate is when I love the beginning of a series and then as there are more books I like it less. That happened with a few authors. Charlaine Harris being one.
ReplyDeletehope it meets your expectations
ReplyDeletesherry @
fundinmental
I have a very small list of favorite authors, and I don't usually call them a favorite unless I've read multiple books by them (i.e. Red Rising is one of my all time favorite series, but I have a hard time calling Pierce a fave author because it's the ONLY thing I've ever read of his, and sometimes an author's works are hit or miss for me depending on genre/setting). But, I have actually been disappointed by a favorite! I was so unimpressed with Soul of the Sword when I read it that I didn't even review it. I've loved everything Julie has ever written, so I thought there was something wrong with me! I did enjoy it more the second time, and Night of the Dragon was amazing and more than made up for it, but it was still really weird to not love something of hers because she is definitely a favorite author!
ReplyDeleteI've not started this series but I've heard great things and I do think the covers are awesome!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'll admit I've struggled with this series of Julie. I still loooove all of her other books. For some reason this one has just been a challenge for me. About halfway through Night of the Dragon and liking it though. This series has pretty much gotten middle level stars from me.
ReplyDeleteI didn’t realize she had a new book coming out. I need to add it to my wishlist. It sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteMy CWW
I didn't even pick up Tahereh's other books because I could tell from their descriptions they weren't for me. Yeah...Charlaine's Southern Vampire Mystery turned Sookie Stackhouse series was one of those for me. I kept reading them though out of a devotion I had for the series. For me, they just lost their mystery element. The story used to be driven by a murder of some kind or something that would give it its "mystery" label. I still want to read the rest of her Midnight Texas series. I read the first book and liked it, and I am also curious about her new series but told myself I had to finish Midnight before I could even think about buying the first book! Lol.
ReplyDeleteAwesome cover!! I really need to read the second book in the series! I really loved the first book!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my WoW!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog
I haven't figured out if it's my mood or something else either. I know that when I loved the author's previous books, I hope to love everything they write. Yet when I feel the story dragging, and I start thinking about all the other books in my TBR pile that I hand selected and put there, I can't help but just want to throw in the towel instead of sticking it out.
ReplyDeleteI love Kagawa and have been wanting to start this series. I hope it ends well for you
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read this one either!
ReplyDeleteThis has happened to me several times. When I DNF a book by a former favorite author, it usually seems to mean they've gone in a direction I don't want to follow any more. Generally I stop reading them altogether, which is very sad when I formerly was so excited by each new release. It seems strange that an author I loved could change so much ... but authors are human beings, and that happens.
ReplyDeleteYes, I often lose interest in a series as it goes on.

Sorry you had a DNF. The Julie Kagawa book looks great. Thanks for visiting my blog. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI just finished my ARC as well so my review will be coming soon. I love this series so much and I really hope it will continue. :)
ReplyDeleteYou forgot Hercules and 101 Dalmatians! haha I'm sure I remember an Aladdin/Hercules crossover episode too? I used to love the Little Mermaid series, I always wanted to know more about the sisters :)
ReplyDeleteAh! I don't think I remember those! Now I want to watch them too! Lol. Disney+ needs to get on top of getting all these series! I know they have Tangled and The Little Mermaid. They don't have Aladdin. Need to double check on these other ones but I somehow doubt they have them. Which 90% of the reason I subscribed was to get these series! Lol.
ReplyDeleteI don't really follow any authors, but since their tweets are so popular, I often see ones from Kristoff and Kaufman. I am not surprised by how witty and fun they are, because that's how they are in person too.
ReplyDeleteJay Kristoff seems like a cool person to follow for sure.

Yeah, two years ago Tahereh decided to extend the series, so there was a bit of a gap between books 3 and 4. This might be the final end though. Although that was said of Ignite Me, so we'll see! Lol.

And on top of the Corona virus, I know this week has been stressful for a LOT of people. I hope you have a better week coming up!

I have a feeling companies may be putting the freeze on hiring right now. A lot is up in the air, and many are feeling the pinch with less people going places, and other having to shut down all together. Let's just hope this is the storm before the rainbow
ReplyDeleteTry smaller grocers for TP and things, it worked for us. Everyone was raiding Walmart and Aldis and we went to another place that was smaller and they had everything...lol. This raid on TP is crazy...lol.
ReplyDeleteThings are crazy around here right now. My husband was able to pick up milk and a few other things but I don't even want to step into a store right now. That is too bad about the Disney key. Maybe you can find one for sale somewhere at a later date.
ReplyDeleteI do hope something happens on the job front for you soon but I think that companies are being hit hard by this pandemic which might make things harder.
I hope you have a great week!
What's funny is I did interview with a company that sells these cleaning supplies like hand sanitizers for companies! So they're doing good at a time like this. Lol. So that would be a nice change of pace of work for me! They were still doing interviews this past week, so I'm realllllly hoping they liked me enough and will let me know this week! *Fingers crossed*
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really promising! I bet they are really busy right now. I do hope you hear something soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping I have enough tp now! I haven't had to go out yet and now I don't really want to add to the panic. I guess some are going to get a lesson in making things stretch!
ReplyDeleteThose Disney keys are pretty awesome but wow, that's pricey for dolls!
Stay safe and happy reading! :)
Hope you're able to ge the supplies you need. Toilet paper AND ice cream---all the essentials. LOL!

Hope you're staying well in these crazy times! I have a feeling you'll soon be able to get the groceries you need though, after all there's no natural disaster or anything preventing deliveries from running and when I went to my local supermarket today most shelves were already restocked. I did hear that Friday and Saturday were insane, but the cashier I talked to said that folks are starting to calm now and in a couple days are probably going to start feeling pretty silly when supply comes back.

I still liked this one, but yeah, reading it on my kindle was a bad idea! Lol!
ReplyDeleteMy list this week would be considered "old school" paranormal as well. I was really into vampires for a long time! Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteMy struggle was not being able to access the glossary in back as easily on my kindle. Plus it was the ARC, so it didn't really let me do that anyway. But I believe if I had read it in book form, I'd likely give it 4 stars because I'd be able to jump to the glossary easily whenever I wanted.
ReplyDeleteWhat? No Twilight? LOL. I love that you included The Vampire Diaries, though.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I would say yes. It's been 5 years since I last read what was the final book of the series. There's a bit of a recap going on in the beginning, highlighting main points. But then again, there will be spoilers and sorts. There's mentions of characters who aren't there that you meet in the early books.
ReplyDeleteSo if you're committed, I'd say start way at the beginning! This isn't really a series where each book can standalone. I mean, there is one main storyline for each book, but all the little plot points are what carry on over the series, it would be in best interest to start at the beginning.
I'm elated! :D
ReplyDeleteI actually can't think of a specific example, but I know I've definitely been disappointed with a book by a favorite author. It's so sad!!

Awww I love the little salamander! What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful shelf! I LOVE it! :)
ReplyDeleteI hate it when a bookcase has a shelf that cannot be moved! I have 2 bookcases like that myself and it seems like that immovable shelf is not in a spot where I would want it if I could choose. I have one shelf that has a really short paperback shelf right in the middle and the other has a shelf perfect for trade paperbacks. I like your solution as well. I am convinced that the designers of shelves like these are not readers!
ReplyDeleteThat edition of A Court of Thorns and Roses is gorgeous! Sorry that you couldn't get it signed, but maybe when all this craziness is over, they might reimburse you or still find a way to make it happen. Glad to hear you're safe and well, despite the circumstances!
ReplyDeleteHow rude! I think you should have received a discount or something since the book was not signed. Maybe they will send a bookplate? Stay safe (and sane)!
ReplyDeleteI am really surprised by how many companies are staying open. I think that everyone believes that they are essential. I could have easily handled a lighter workload at home even without the software I have at the office but we really got quite a few orders at least at the beginning of the week. Things did slow down by the end of the week so I have no idea what next week will look like. I have a co-worker home sick as well. I hope that next week is less stressful for you, Jessica!
ReplyDeleteThe hardly any traffic thing is what keeps getting to me! We live close to a usually busy street, and it's SO quiet here these days. It's really weird.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll be able to stay safe and healthy, Jessica. Sending hugs and good vibes your way.
Ooooh, that collector's edition is gorgeous but I can understand the disappointment. :(
ReplyDeleteHurray for surviving another week! All businesses should be undertaking extra sanitation measures right now if they can. A lot of my family is considered essential and we're all just hoping it doesn't make it home to our elderly or little ones! It's definitely stressful times right now.
Have a great week and stay safe! :)
I'm sorry you weren't able to get ACOTAR signed. That is a bummer. :( I really hope you can stay safe and healthy even with everything going on!

ReplyDeleteThis cover is stunning and in fact, it was when I saw it debut was when I ordered a physical copy of the first one to read. At least the wait won't be much longer.
ReplyDeleteLove the cover and it sounds so good!

I still need to finish their other series! I loved the first one, so I know I'll like them all.
ReplyDeleteI haven't yet read the first book either, but I want to. I hope you love this one when you get to it, Jessica. Stay safe and well.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it!

Ooh, going on the TBR!! It sounded interesting, but I'm relieved it was a slow-burn romance and that you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteWow, almost halfway on the Discussion Challenge already! Very impressive!

Yep, life is pretty surreal right now. You have a secure job so there's that at least, but do stay safe and well, Jessica! I loved Night of the Dragon, that's a keeper copy book for sure!
ReplyDeleteMy market just started doing the line up thing. I was lucky though, because the day I went was a rather lovely spring day. I probably would have left it was raining. Nice haul. I hope you are able to enjoy your new books, and stay safe!
ReplyDeleteLook on Youtube for some tips on making a mask that you don't have to sew! I have seen some from bandanas and rubber bands.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and happy reading!
This sounds interesting. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who doesn't know a lot about the beloved comic books. LOL!
ReplyDeleteOoh I need to check some of these out on Goodreads! Hope you enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could take beautiful pictures of books, I love the ones I see on IG. I've got more photos of family and friends on my phone than books. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy the rest of your week, stay safe and healthy.

Ooooo have you read From Blood & Ash yet? So loved that one.
ReplyDeleteThere are still a lot of companies working. I have been surprised by how many of the businesses I deal with are still open. I am working in the office some and at home some. I hate that you have to be around so many people every day.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you got some nice new reads. I hope you have a great week and stay safe!
All The Stars and Teeth has a gorgeous cover! I definitely have to read it at some point.

All the Stars and Teeth has a beautiful cover. But that title!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I'd really like to give The Immortal Rules a try.
ReplyDelete13 to Life does have a great cover.

Covers really influence me. I don't buy a ton of books, but I have definitely read many because of the cover.
ReplyDeleteReign of Shadows and The Immortal Rules- I love both of those covers! I can totally see buying those based on their covers!
ReplyDeleteOooh! Beautiful covers! I really want to read All the Stars and Teeth!

I haven't read any of this series. How exciting to have editions in another language! I love that cover, too.

I love that Reign of Shadows cover. It catches my eye every time I see it.
ReplyDeleteSo, can I just say that when I saw the title of your post in my email, I was like, wait, what? No! You can't quit blogging! So glad it was just the title of the book. Whew! I need to read these books. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Wednesday post
Haven't you ever watched Monty Python? Killer rabbits! Who knew?
ReplyDeleteExcellent review! This book has everything I love about reading--great characters, romance, and page-turning plot.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like it will demand not to be put down while reading. And after reading your review, I know that it lives up to the hype.
ReplyDeleteLooking for a book that drags me in and is a great read to the end.
