Honored Vow by Mary Calmes7/3/2023 ![]() This book was the best of the series so far even though I gave it the same rating. Of course, I'm making a lot of assumptions on what you are thinking. You see the absolutely horrendously ugly book cover and you think, "holy crap, why is that book cover so bad?" But, then you also think, "this must be a romance between those poorly drawn strange-looking fellas." You probably wouldn't think the book is a series of gladiator games with brutal violence, torture, and death. ![]() This whole book is one bloody battle after another. No, literally, does anyone know where I can get some Purell these days? This corona virus is really inconveniencing me.īut, I don't mind reading about a bloody evisceration and beheading or two. So, you know, for me, thanks but no thanks. ![]() Bloody team fighting is part of the para-world, I guess. Okay, so pit fighting!! You can't have a paranormal series without at least one play on the Midnight Games. ![]() Just when you thought the cover art couldn't get worse. ![]()
