Fun quick paranormal romance. The chirpy heroine was fun. I liked the way she babble when she was nervous. The grumpy hero was fun too. I felt the paranormal world could have been developed a bit more but what was there was clear enough. The fated mates thing was OTT in a fun way. I could have done without the heroine being quite so babbly about getting herself off to a pic of his DNA? And she says it in front of everyone. I just have a problem with any book where that is talked about in show more front of more than the one person involved or maybe in the right situation the hero and heroine in a personal PRIVATE moment. I might read more in the series if I need a quick fated mates type read. show less

They may need her to extract James Hagan, but that doesn’t mean he has to like it. This mission could possibly be the death of him.

Ok, I have a favorite new author. When I picked this story up through the Kindle Lending Library, I knew it was a book 1 in a series. What I didn’t know was that it’s a spin off from another series. Of course, being the way I am that means I need to go back and read the books from the original series, but not just because of my series reading quirks. I need to do it because I love this story. It’s fast-paced, quirky and full of humor. It has many paranormal elements and some steamy stuff. The characters could use a bit more oomph in their personalities, but for the length of this story I’ll take what was put out there about them. Duke is a curmudgeon and Mercy is a feisty nerd. They’re great together! All I have left to say is: I want more! show less

Witches, wolves and whodunnit?

The title promised fun and that's what the reader gets. Poppy's husband wants a divorce and that leads her back to her grandparents' home in Grimm Cove, and into a tree on her ex-boyfriend's house. From there it is an all-out fun and frightening tale. Romance, murders and magic. What more could you ask for? Brilliant.

After dropping off the radar for 10 years, Dr. James Hagen is back in the PSI fold.

Not only show more does PSI need to know what she knows about The Corporation and which side she’s on, but James needs her more. With The Corporation breathing down their necks, can either of them survive long enough to have a shot at forever?

Can I sum up my review by saying: “Yes! This!” No? You need more? *whines* But whyyyy? Ok, ok. I haven’t read the first series, Immortal Ops, in this world. I’ve only read the first spin-off, Act of Mercy and loved it! It’s my new favorite go to series when I want a hearty laugh as well as some steamy sexiness. Nom nom! The plot is decent and the writing is lovely, but it’s the characters and humor that really sell it to me. I do love humor in my books. I don’t care if a story is a grim suspense/thriller/mystery I need some humor to balance things out. And humor is delivered here in spades. I very much look forward to going back to the beginning and starting with the Immortal Ops series. I do so enjoy when there are multiple books already out when I discover a series I love. *insert evil laugh and hand rubbing* show less
