Red Hot Steele (Daggers & Steele #1) by Alex P. Berg

Red Hot Steele (Daggers & Steele Book 1) by Alex P. Berg
Paperback: 296 pages
Publisher: Batdog Press; 1 edition (October 16, 2014)
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Jake Daggers is supposed to be a brilliant detective, but you can't really see it. He blunders from one clue to another accueses the wrong people and doesn't seem to make any deductions. He's completely sexist to his new partner, meaning every time he opened his mouth some type of misogyny and to spew out. Once or twice would have been enough to get the point across, so often was just grating. I will try the next book in the series, but it needs to spectacular for me to carry on.

Sworn to Rise (Courtlight #1) by Terah Edun

Sworn To Raise (Courtlight Book 1) by Teran Edun
Paperback: 244 pages
Publisher: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform (April 10, 2013)
Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

I recieved this free though Amazon Kindle, along with my friends. It took me a while to get into this book, even with the promise from my friends that the series does get better. I think I had trouble in the beginning because the story starts with very little world building.
Obviously it wasn't so bad that I didn't finish the book, but I don't know if the promise of the series getting better is what made me finish the book.

The very casual tossing out references of rape grated on my nerves, "I don't want to sleep here, but I don't want to be raped." I hate that kind of casual acceptance of rape, and the type of casual mention of rape.

Hopefully the other books are better.

Great movie, if not completely historically accurate.

The Good, the Bad, and the Undead (The Hallows #2) by Kim Harrison

The Good, the Bad, and the Undead (The Hollows Book 2) by Kim Harrison
Paperback: 453 pages
Publisher: HarperTorch (January 25, 2005)
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

The first half of the book is a bit slow, the second half is confusing at times, because there's too much action going on.

The book wasn't bad enough that I didn't finish it, so I'll probably give the next one a go, but the series needs to pick up for me to give it much more beyond that.

Has anyone else seen this version of the fairytale? I don't know why it isn't more popular.

Athena the Brain (Goddess Girls Book 1) by Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams
Paperback: 176 pages
Publisher: Aladdin; 1 edition (April 6, 2010)
Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

Athena the Brain, ugh! I mean the book is a quick read, but really not at all a way for someone to learn about Greek goddesses and gods at all.

Such a cheesy, but good movie. I wouldn't be surprised if it created a glitter shortage in the world.
