Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 154 - Magic Binds by Ilona Andrews, Sungrazer by Jay Posey, Beast by Anna Hackett

Magic Binds (Kate Daniels, #9)Magic Binds by Ilona Andrews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kate and Curran should be planning a wedding but of course things just keep getting in the way. This moves the story line forward. Solves some things, brings some surprises about characters, keeps the danger developing and the tension at a very high level. The reader does a really great job of the different voices. The voice matched what was happening in the story adding to the enjoyment of the story.


Sungrazer (Outriders #2)Sungrazer by Jay Posey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A fun journey full of danger and surprise, Sungrazer bring the Outrider team back together with a new dangerous mission. This is space opera with a great cast of characters, interesting world building and backstory. Set in the Solar System with most of the action on Mars the story is fast paced keeping everything moving. The reader did a very good job with the voices of the characters and matching the pace of the story.


Beast (Galactic Gladiators, #7)Beast by Anna Hackett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You knew Mia and Vek had a connection in the last story but I wondered how they would find their HEA. Vek is such a complex character. At heart he is kind but from his capture as a child he has been drugged and made into a killer in a illegal fight ring. From the time he was freed and helped free Mia she has been the only one who can calm the rage left over from the drugs. I loved how Hackett found a way to burn that rage away and make Vek a valuable member of the Galactic Gladiators. Mia is also a complex characters. She was the under performer in her family and it was great seeing her bond with Vek and finding that she had a very valuable talent. Great addition to the series and a very nice set up for the next set of stories.
