The Infamous Duchess by Sophie BarnesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Viola Cartwright is a very complex character. She has survived losing everyone she loved, some by death and one by deceit. Her story is as complex as her character. She is facing losing everything she has worked for and finds that she must trust even though it is very hard for her. This plot just kept getting more complex as Viola both looses and gains as the story progresses. I loved Henry Lowell and how he worked to overcome a past he invented to keep safe from marriage. Seems it was coming back to haunt him. Look for a interesting characters whose story will come up next. Love how this series just keeps moving in unusual ways. I also enjoyed hearing about the medical history that Barnes adds as an afterwards.

Emergence by John BirminghamMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
If you love blood and gore this series is for you. In Emergence you will meet David Hooper, a more flawed and unlikely hero would be hard to find. Even he admits that he is usually not Nice Dave but Rotten Dave. How he changes into to a hero is unexpected. Something has escaped the deep and is killing his crew on the oil rig where he works. When he kills one he get more than he expected. He still is not a nice person but he does has some unusual memories and strengths. This is as I started with saying a lot of blood and gore. We follow not only Dave but also the monsters he is fighting. In the end he wins only to have his victory ripped from his hands and the win turns into a loss.
