Crossbreed: Review


I finished Crossbreed by Lora Leigh in a day. Actually in 4.5 hours. I loved it. I loved every second of it.  If you are a fan of the Breeds series by Lora Leigh you won't be disappointed by this one. We get to see Cassie all grown up and the story from the first books come full circle. As a reader that is immensely satisfying.

If you want to read it sans spoilers: do not go further.


Spoilers ahead:
I loved that we finally have a female alpha- not a female who becomes alpha once she's mated to one, but one who is alpha and primal in her own right. THANK GOODNESS. Lora Leigh has always had strong female characters, but as women we don't need a man to be strong in our own right. I love that we finally have a female who is primal in her own right.

Let's talk for a second about one of the deeper themes of this book: Prejudice.
We all deal with prejudice in our lives as some point. This book shows the multiple ways that people deal with prejudice and the consequences of dealing with it incorrectly. People are still small minded and only have acceptance for "certain" people and behaviors. It's a problem. I love how Lora Leigh has been tackling this issue throughout her books. Maybe if we have it as a prominent issue in more books, people will become more aware of their biases and prejudices.

A Simple Favor: Review

Let me start off by saying this...I don't often read thrillers.  Why? I have an overactive imagination and a third degree black belt. I'm not the kind of person who needs to feel freaked out or that something is watching me. Also, why I don't do haunted houses.  A Simple Favor is one of those books that you can't put down once you pick it up. It sucks you in and you just have to know how the story ends. I'm normally a pretty vocal reader- I'll laugh out loud at things that are funny, but I said a LOT of bad words while reading this book. There were so many WTF?! moments. I started reading it last night and had to put it down for the night and read something lighthearted(thanks Mutts comics) before bed. I picked it up again this morning, read for 2 hours before work, and finished it on my lunch break.  Wow. The story loops and pulls and wraps you in it so tightly that you won't know who the bad guy really is or if the whole story is just a delusi...
