Review: Snakeroot (Nightshade Legacy #1) by Andrea Cremer

Snakeroot by Andrea Cremer

Nightshade Legacy Book 1

Snakeroot pretty much picks up where Bloodrose left off, only it's set in multiple POVs. I've never really liked books that switch POVs every chapter but I really wanted to see where this story went so I toughed it out.

The story was actually good. It is mostly in Adne's POV. I do wonder if it will just end up repeating what happened in the Nightshade Trilogy. That's where it seems to be going only with a more romantic twist.

I was disappointed in the way this one ends considering it was released 2 years ago and we still don't have book 2 BUT the author says that book 2 is being delayed for a reason so lets just hope that it's a good one!

I will most definitely be buying/reading book 2 when it is available.

Nightshade Trilogy by Andrea Cremer

Nightshade, Wolfsbane, and Bloodrose

I started this trilogy not really knowing what to expect. These books were released a few years ago and I've heard both good and bad things about them.

I really enjoyed the trilogy. I am reviewing them all together because it's hard to remember exactly where each book ended and the next began. The author did an excellent job of starting back up where she left of in the previous book.

The books are very well written and the characters are defined properly. I actually felt like I knew  them. I wanted to laugh, cry, and fight along side them.

That being said, the ending of Bloodrose was NOT what I expected at all. I was totally caught off guard by some of the things that happened in the last few chapters.

Overall, I am happy with the trilogy. I have bought a copy of every book to add to my ever growing library. (I only wish they were signed!)

 Nightshade Prequels by Andrea Cremer

Rift and Rise

Since these books were published as prequels I read these first. I will say that you don't necessarily have to. These give you further insight into how things began but the trilogy can be read and understood without reading these first.

I absolutely loved every minute of Ember's story. These books are very well written and the characters feel so real. The only negative thing I can say about these is that there isn't a third book! I would really love to have more of Ember and Barrow's story.

Overall, I was not disappointed with these books at all.

Review: House of Shame

House of Shame 

by: Caddy Rowland

Publication Date: October 2, 2014

There Was a House Saga book 4 (Conclusion)

Synopsis:  Phoenix has been plotting to devastate her captor and destroy his brothel of under-aged sex-trafficking victims ever since arriving at Rêve. But the beating he recently gave her over some bank accounts fans the flames of hatred into a firestorm. Now, to her delight, plans to accomplish exactly what she’s been hoping for are in place—and the results will be brutal. Even better, every depraved man using them for sex will be revealed for what they are to their family, friends, and business associates.
 
Phoenix, Jamie, and the other captives know the plans must play out flawlessly. Any unforeseen glitches will likely mean not only an end to escape, but of their very lives. However, perfection seldom exists. Something is bound to go wrong.

And when it does, Jamie will be left wondering if he’s just signed all their death warrants.

**Content Warning: This drama contains adult themes and scenes that deal with a difficult topic.


Review: When I started reading the There Was a House Saga, I knew I was in for a treat as Caddy Rowland is a wonderful writer and never disappoints. I knew to expect something that would pull at my heart and bring out every emotion within me. Caddy never ceases to amaze me with her work. 

These books are amazing. The story Caddy portrayed is a very difficult one. If you have a heart at all the characters will bring tears to your eyes many times during the story.


I love how Caddy ended the Saga. I only wish that the same happy ending could be guaranteed for those that have to face the same fate in reality.
