Wow! This was a fantastic read. A story filled with all sorts of torture, gore and also love. Daniel and Stavros, two extremely dangerous men. They were mortal enemies at first, but things changed and at the end they became one.

Loved this intense story with the hard core men at war. Couldn't put my Kindle down. Recommended read, beware of triggers given in precis.

I knew about the one on Friday ahead of time but got a last minute one for today or I would’ve planned ahead to let you all know I’d be offline!

I mainly do it as a hobby but occasionally I’ll get some work out of it as well. Honestly just depends how exhausted I am tomorrow when I make it home but I may be able to get my book read that evening. Will keep you all updated though. Off to read for a little then get some rest 😴

This is a good historical series. Ecah couple is different with dire circumstances to maneouver before they get their HEA. This is my second reread and I enjoyed it better this time around.

For me the best one is the 2nd book - A Seditious Affair. I am not going into spoilers here but rest assured that historicals by K.J. Charles are guaranteed to keep you riveted and happy at the end.

Task #8: Read 6 books set in a major city

Glitterland (Spires, #1) by Alexis Hall
Book: Glitterland
Pages: 224
Qualification: Set in London, England
Date Read: 4/3/21
Rating: 4.5 Stars
Review: I hadn't read an Alexis Hall book in awhile so I was overdue for another read from him. I'm so glad I went with this one in particular because I loved it. I identified with Ash's character which is what made this such a great read for me. Alexis does fantastic at writing characters dealing with mental illness accurately.

Please correct to the first edition Kindle page count (224). Thanks!

MountainKat | 31602 comments So sorry for the delay - not sure how I missed your post! Always feel free to kick me in the butt if I miss your completion or questions!!

And now here is your much delayed next task!

Task 9 - 26. Read a minimum of 750 pages in books featuring shifters.

Books selected for this task need to feature shifters, shapeshifters or were-somethings. Don't forget to let me know how you know your book qualifies, be it title, precis, tags or lists. I need to know where to look to confirm your books! Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count!

Sorry MKat! I’m usually better about double checking this. Corrected now. Must have been more exhausted than I originally thought after getting my vaccine the day before 😂

Jeydon Marshall | 372 comments If everyone reads a minimum of 200 page book we should be able to complete this task by reading one each. Mine can also take 22 pages off of the total someone else needs to read (and subtract 50 from the total of 200 each but yeah...easier to round up to 800 than figure out the math for 750 😂) so if either Roger or Laks decide to read one that’s slightly under 200 that would be fine too 😊
