Review: Blaze Ignites By: J.L. Madore

Title: Blaze Ignites 
Author: J.L. Madore
Source: Review Request
Genre: Paranormal Fantasy Romance 
Reviewer: Emi 

**I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review**



BLAZE IGNITES blends strong, clever women and tough, sexy men in a fast paced, volatile cocktail of action, seduction and wicked humour.


"Destiny my ass." Jade Glaster refuses to believe the Fates rule her life. After a Scourge attack leaves her orphaned as a child, a young Jade vowes never to be powerless again. Now, grown and strong, wielding the affinities of fire and healing, Jade protects innocents as an enforcer for her world's elite policing agency—The Talon.

When an emissary mission to reinstate a race of exiled Elves brings Galan into her life, Jade finds herself overwhelmed by new passions, some welcome, some not. Although Galan's antiquated views on women offend her to her heated core, when the Scourge target his family, she helps him navigate the outside worlds he knows nothing about—the magical Realm of the Fair and, stranger still . . . the modern streets of Toronto.

Through their sensually charged pursuit of justice, Jade discovers that when dealing with the Fates—destiny is never random.




Jade is sent on a mission with her sister to acquire and safeguard a relic, and reinstate a race of Elves who have been exiled for over 8000 years. When she meets the three elves on the mission she is instantly and regretfully attracted to Galon, only regretfully because his mentality is ancient since he has been in an exiled community. Gallon however learns quickly that he needs to change with the times if he wishes to integrate properly in the new world and win Jade's heart.



I never really read too much fantasy but I really enjoyed Blaze Ignites, a little different from what I usually read but I'm glad I did. Blaze Ignites was an excellent story, very well written, and I loved all of the action and twists. I thought it was a great read and am looking forward to more of the story.

Review: £6.19 per Witching Hour By: Joanna Mazurkiewicz

Julia Taylor works as a recruitment consultant for Paranormal Personnel in London. Her normal day at the office consists of seeing clients, searching for new vacancies, updating CVs and visiting employers.

It seems as though she has an ordinary life but in reality Julia is half elf and she works for a recruitment agency for paranormals. Day to day Julia attempts to find work for fairies, vampires, witches, hags, wizards, mermaids, elves, giants and trolls. 

She is normally calm, confident and is not afraid to stand up for herself, but when the meeting with La Caz Corporation doesn't go as well as she hoped, she wants to bury herself under the ground and die. 

Nathaniel La Caz is a player and he wants to seduce Julia. The incredible sexual chemistry that builds up between them complicates her life to the point where she can’t control her magic. La Caz not only wants her but he also has a craving for her blood. Then her ex-boyfriend Jasper comes back on the scene and nearly exposes the whole paranormal world to humans when trying to protect her.

It doesn't end well when vampires and elves mix. The problems start escalating when elves and fairies begin to vanish in London without trace and the police suspect vampires. This can never end well for Julia but she just gets on with her extraordinary job and keeps her abilities under the radar. 


I really enjoyed £6.19 per Witching Hour. I thought it was a fun read and at the same time a bit of a thriller. Julia works for a recruitment agency, aligning supernaturals with jobs in their community, and is working on a contract with one of the largest factories. While at the first meeting with LA Caz Corporation she is absolutely flooded with emotions when she meets Nathaniel La Caz, a sexy vampire who she is determined to stay away from since he only wants two things,  sex and to eat her up, lol. While trying to immerse herself in work and distract herself from the ever growing attraction to Nathaniel she is also dealing with a crazy stalker ex boyfriend, and then there is also the dire situation of elves and fairies going missing. Unfortunately Julia finds herself in the middle of it all. 
Nathaniel is a sexy character, he's Alpha but some of his tendencies lean more toward controlling. Julia on the other hand is totally independent and buts heads with him quite often. I thoroughly enjoyed the story but was a little disappointed how it ended, but then on the other hand, it makes want to read the next one even more. I have to see what happens between Nathaniel & Julia and also what dangers are still lurking. 
I would definitely recommend this series, and I;m looking forward to what happens next. 
Hopefully Julia doesn't take it to easy on Nathaniel, lol.
