Review: Wildfire Gospel (Santeria Habitat #3) by Kenya Wright



I am so freakin' excited to be posting this review. I know I am excited all the time when it comes to reviews...but this one...
This book is one that I have been waiting for and I lucked out in getting to edit it! Dream come true, for real. 
SO here is the cover and a bit about the book...

17726138LANORE'S TO-DO LIST
#1- Set Dante on fire until he’s nothing but smoke and ash.

#2- Find Nona and Mother Earth, tie them to a tree, and create the biggest bonfire Santeria has ever seen.

#3- Find out if there is anybody higher in Mother Earth's psychotic chain of command.

#4- Burn anybody else to a crisp if they get in my fucking way.

Lanore destroys her old beliefs of nonviolence. Flames of revenge now fuel her movements forward. Too many of her loved ones have died, and she's done shedding tears. Sadly, she can't boil Dante's blood just yet. He has the resources to help her and Zulu. Discovering Mother Earth's whereabouts is proving more difficult than expected. She's not what they thought she was. She's something more.

Meanwhile, Lanore's father is missing. Normally, that wouldn't trigger stress, but whispers are spreading around the habitat like a wildfire. A Demon with feline eyes and fire-spotted cheetah skin appeared at the Masquerade Ball right after MeShack was killed. Lanore hopes her father will have some answers.

Is this Demon only a coincidence? Is Lanore just grasping at a last bit of hope that somehow MeShack is alive, or should she face the truth of his death.





My Review:

Since this book isn't out yet I won't be posting any spoilers (even though I freakin' want to.) I've decided that instead of writing a full on review, I'm going to let the gifs speak for me.

This is how I felt at the end of the last book.


How I felt reading Wildfire Gospel.

My overall final reaction:


Kenya Wright is an evil mastermind. This book is EVERYTHING I wanted it to be, and at the same time it was nothing I expected. 
So go and read it...if not, I will get Lanore to burn you. ;)

Rating: 
FIVE AWESOME STARS!

Review: Complicated by You by Kenya Wright

So I read this book today and I am knots--TOTAL knots people. It made me happy, horny, angry, and then slightly psychotic because I need to know what happens. I can't wait until I read the next book. Seriously people! I CAN'T wait!

First here is a little about the book...

Evie's childhood friend Jay has always had her back. But college complicates things as Jay starts dating Evie's roommate Cynthia. Now, Evie spends her nights trying to sleep while Jay and Cynthia go at it like rabbits a few feet away!
Evie hates feeling like a third wheel and hates wishing it was her in Jay's arms even more. It doesn't help that Jay won't let Evie date or even hook up withoutinterfering and making sure everyone on campus knows that she's off limits.

Something has to give. Evie can't continue pining away for Jay, and Jay can't continue to act like he owns her when he won't so much as touch her. And worse of all, Evie can barely look Cynthia in the eye for fear she will know just how she feels about Jay.

Then one night shifts Evie, Jay and Cynthia into an web of love and deceit,tangling their hearts and forcing one of them to come to a compromise that will change all their lives.


My Review:
Prepare yourself...There will be spoilers, spoilers, and more spoilers!!

Seriously.

I like Evie's character a lot. She is very likable and has a good head on her shoulders. She has loved her best friend Jay since they were kids, but thought that he would never love her back...until she finds out that she is completely wrong about this. Jay has really loved her all along. He can't stand the idea of her being with someone else and sets out to sabotage any other relationships--sexual or otherwise--that she tries to take part in. 
BUT of course he has a totally beautiful girlfriend named Cynthia.  He doesn't want to break up with Cynthia because he is afraid that it will hurt her feelings... 
image
I want to smack him in his super attractive face. Like, for real. Who cares if you hurt her feelings?! Hurt them already!
I get that Jay doesn't want to be a bad person...but prolonging the situation just makes it worse. 
BUT then something totally cray happens. Cynthia (Jay's girlfriend) approaches Jay and Evie with a proposition. She wants to have a joint relationship...
Jay thinks it is a fabulous idea. Which, I mean, DUH, of course he does. Thank the lord Evie has some sense and thinks it's ridiculous, but that doesn't stop her from agreeing to it!
 image

I understand where she is coming from, I mean she wants the guy...but she is going to have to share him. I couldn't do it. Jay would be mine and there would be no if, ands, or buts about it. Unless he wanted me to remove his testicles by force...but of course that is different post for a different day... ;)

The book ends on a happy note, with the promise of more drama and craziness to come in the strange triangle relationship. I will definitely be picking up the next book. No doubt about it. Kenya pulls you into the story and makes you want to know more, no matter how f'ed up you might think the situation is she makes you believe that there is potential for anything and everything to work and fall apart all at once. I can't wait for the next installment. I hope that Jay comes to his senses and leaves Cynthia. I just can't wait to find out!!

With all of this being said--I give Complicated by You stars! 

I purchased this book on Amazon. Get your copy today, it's only $1.29!

Cover Reveal: Wildfire Gospel by Kenya Wright

I am so pleased to be hosting the fabulous Kenya Wright on her cover reveal of the next installment in The Habitat Series. I have read the first two books in the series and LOVED them. Definitely something to check out. Take it away Kenya!


Kenya: I'm not even going to lie to you. Writing the third book was fun!! It's probably my favorite one out of the series so far, because the characters' powers have evolved and. . .I'm continuing to grow as a writer.

Writing has become a second skin for me now, and walking through the Santeria Habitat is like visiting home.

Blurb: 

Epic and his brothers don’t rob strip clubs for fun or fame, but to use the electric currency to take care of their family. With androids and robots flooding the job market, it’s almost impossible for humans to find work. Besides, stealing comes easy to the gang, until Phoenix steps into their lives, snatching away their bounty and fogging up Epic’s mind with her seductive scent.

Shots blare. A chase ensues. Both sides refuse to yield. And the small compromise that comes is 
brought by chains and a promise for a bigger hit--
on a planet far away from earth. 


Can Epic and Phoenix work together to rescue themselves from poverty? 

Or will they find another type of redemption one lathered in lust and warmth, pleasure, and the type of undemanding love that no human can live without?

Review: Incubus Hunter By Kenya Wright

Helllllllooooooo! It's review day! (Okay admittedly, it's not really review day because I am terribly inconsistent, lol) But it is a day, Thursday, to be more specific AND I am posting a review. Woohoo! Are you excited yet? Because you should be. The book I am reviewing is HOT. Now I'm not talking warm, like sitting next to a fire. I'm talking about swallowing a sparkler hot


Seriously. 

Before I say more here is the cover and blurb. 



Whispers swirl throughout the underworld of Carmen, the fanged elf with the violet eyes. They say she hunts incubus demons, not for money, but to clear a debt with a powerful wizard.

But time is winding down. Carmen has five days to clear the balance or she loses her daughter. Desperation forces her to go after Blaze. He’s worth two million dollars dead or alive.

The hunt begins. She spots him and sets a seductive trap. It’s just business as usual—until she ends up capturing so much more.



My Review:
It's no secret that I am a fan of Kenya Wright. Not a drooling fan girl kind of fan (most of the time), but I do love her writing. Incubus Hunter did not disappoint. 
Carmen is a sexy fanged (yes that's right this girl has fangs!) elf who is hunting an Incubus to get enough money to pay off her missing husband's debt. Only she doesn't plan on finding herself seduced by the ULTRA HOT Blaze. And ladies it is no joke when I say he is SUPER HOT. Woo wee. *fans self* 
The adventure and romance is exciting and HOT, wait...did I already mention that?
Anywho, this is a great read and I definitely recommend it. Can't wait for the next in the series. 
I give Incubus Hunter FIVE stars.

P.S. This book is FREE on Amazon. Go download it. You won't regret it!

Review: Fire Baptized by Kenya Wright

Set in a caged habitat, where supernatural beings have been trapped by humans, the dark fantasy Habitat series follows Lanore as she solves mysteries while struggling for equality in the face of prejudice among supernaturals.

Since the 1970s humans have forced supernaturals to live in caged cities. Silver brands embedded in their foreheads identify them by species: a full moon for Vampires, a crescent moon for Shifters, a pair of wings for Fairies, and the list goes on, for each supernatural species has been tagged and categorized by humans. Lanore Vesta is marked with a silver X, the brand of Mixbreeds; second-class citizens shunned by society. She stays to herself, revealing her ability to create fire only during emergencies. All she wants to do is graduate college and stop having to steal to survive. But when she stumbles upon a murder in progress, she catches the attention of a supernatural killer. Now all she wants is to stop finding dead bodies in her apartment. Enlisting help from her Were-cheetah ex-boyfriend Meshack and a new mysterious friend named Zulu, she is steered through the habitat’s raunchy nightlife. But their presence sometimes proves to be more burden than help as they fight for her attention. While the corpses pile up, and the scent of blood fills the air, Lanore is left wondering: Will she find the psycho or die trying?
My Review:
All I can say is WOW. I knew that Ms. Wright was an excellent writer based on other things that I have read by her, but this book was phenomenal. I love the world she created inside of The Habitat. There are so many interesting characters, not to mention sexy male counterparts that make you desperate to read more (no joke!)
Lanore is a very complex character as we get to see life from her eyes, a mix breed in a world of pure bloods that control everything. A minority in a world that is fiercely unaccepting of who and what she is. She gives a new meaning to the word 'strong', which is something I highly appreciate. I just love books with strong heroines! 
I have already purchased the second book in the series and can't wait to get started on it. Hope you check it out!

I give Fire Baptized Four Stars!

I purchased this book on amazon.
