Review: Ocean Light by Nalini Singh

Image
Ocean Light just released a couple of weeks ago — a new installment in one of my favorite series, set in one of my favorite paranormal worlds, and written by one of my favorite authors, Nalini Singh. So I somehow found time to read it, in spite of my schedule, and I wanted to let you know how I liked it. Goodreads Synopsis Security specialist Bowen Knight has come back from the dead. But there's a ticking time bomb in his head: a chip implanted to block telepathic interference that could fail at any moment — taking his brain along with it. With no time to waste, he should be back on land helping the Human Alliance. Instead, he's at the bottom of the ocean, consumed with an enigmatic changeling... Kaia Luna may have traded in science for being a chef, but she won't hide the facts of Bo's condition from him or herself. She's suffered too much loss in her life to fall prey to the dangerous charm of a human who is a dead man walking. And she carries

“Sometimes the one who is running from the Life/Death/Life nature insists on thinking of love as a  boon only. Yet love in its fullest form is a series of deaths and rebirths. We let go of one phase, one aspect of love, and enter another. Passion dies and is brought back. Pain is chased away and surfaces another time. To love means to embrace and at the same time to withstand many endings, and many many beginnings — all in the same relationship.” — Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype

“I don’t want you to think I’m agreeing to keep it secret because I’m ashamed in any way.” “Who said anything about shame?” She gestured down to her naked body, even though it was covered by the blanket. “Honestly, I’m surprised you’re not strutting about, boasting to everyone. I certainly would be if I’d tumbled me .” “Does your love for yourself know no bounds?” “Absolutely none.” ... The grin he gave her was hungry and wicked enough that she shrieked when he yanked her under the blankets. ~ Sarah J. Maas, Crown of Midnight

Sometimes magic finds us; we don't find it. And once it does, it's nearly impossible to close ourselves to it. It would be like trying to forget how to read or speak or walk. Usually people who unlock magic within themselves don't understand their importance in the world. The Casquette Girls ~~Alys Arden

Review: Bring Me Back

Image
Last year, I devoured BA Paris's Behind Closed Doors and The Breakdown . I was lucky enough to be given access to her new book, Bring Me Back . I JUST finished it. At work. Don't tell my boss, but I only had 20 pages left and I couldn't wait. Now I'm writing this review, because these thoughts will not wait. Again, please don't tell! I needed to get these thoughts out while they were fresh. This book isn't out yet, or is just out now, depending on when lovely Head Wench Barb decides to post this. So I will keep the spoilers out of the equation. Join me after the break to hear what I thought of BA Paris's Bring Me Back.

“You’re mine,” he said, his voice rough. “I’m not letting you go.” “I’m glad we cleared that up.” “Do you understand me, Nevada? I’m not walking away. I thought I could, but I can’t and I don’t want to.” I brushed his cheek with my fingertips. “What makes you think I would let you go?” ~ Ilona Andrews, Wildfire ( Hidden Legacy #3)
