Wings of Hope by Pippa DaCostaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I'm fairly certain that I got this from an Instafreebie Newsletter. I had never heard of this series before and so didn't really know what to expect. This novella seemed like a good place to start and get a taste for the authors writing style.
Having read this and just finished book #1 in the series, I actually feel that I may have bee better off reading this after book #1. It was definitely a good introduction to the main character Muse, and by the end I was drawn in enough to want to know more about the characters, and the world that this is set in. I think that there could have bee a little more explanation about the Hierarchy and ownership thing works, as it was a little confusing at times since I was reading this with no previous knowledge of this world. This is really just a minor thing.
I like this novella a lot, and found it intriguing enough to want to read more. I would recommend it.

Beyond the Veil by Pippa DaCostaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Not sure if I got this from Instafreebie or the Author's newsletter.... Point is I got free from somewhere, and feel that it is only fair that I review it in return. So I also have the #0.5 novella Wings of Hope, and by the time I reach the end of that, I found myself wanting to know more about Muse. (So I guess it was a good thing that this was also in my Kindle library!)
I really enjoyed this book. It was fast paced with a lot of action, that really captured my attention and made it hard to put down. I liked the author's writing style. It was engaging and had a good flow to it, as well as having enough description seamlessly incorporated for you to be able to build up a really clear image in your head, of what is going on and what this world looks like. I also liked the characters. They were well written and believable, with individual personalities, and good chemistry.
I think the only slightly negative thing I have to say about this book is the way that Stefan's employment status seems to yo-yo. It just seemed a little too repetitive with the coming clean, no wait, he lied again. Once or twice would have worked well in the story, so for me there was a little over kill on this element of the book.
But that aside, I really did enjoy this book and would certainly get the next one. I recommend giving this a go.
