Book Review: Doubleblind (Sirantha Jax #3) by Ann Aguirre



Doubleblind (Sirantha Jax, #3)Doubleblind by Ann Aguirre
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great follow on from Wanderlust (book 2).

I really enjoyed this. I think we saw different sides to a lot of the characters in this book than we have previously. Just through the nature of the story line we see a more restrained Jax; it was interesting to see her fight her impulsive nature and think before she speaks, even if it's out of necessity for the well being of the rest of the universe. I liked the way that this more thoughtful and held back version of herself was something that she almost became comfortable with, but when it really came down to doing what she needed for her people, this became a version of herself that she didn't like, and the impulsive nature wins out. I was curious to see what would happen with March in this book after his emotionless return, and what that would mean for the dynamic of the team. I liked the fact that the relationship between March and Jax didn't just disappear.

It was interesting to discover more about Vel and his past on Ithiss-Tor, and to be able to see him as more than just a bounty hunter that is good with technology. I wonder if we will get to see more of his 'quirks' on future books.

I was not expecting the twist at the end, and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on what comes next for these characters.

I highly recommend this series for sci-fi fans.

Book Review: The Angels' Share (The Bourbon Kings #2) by J.R. Ward



The Angels' Share (The Bourbon Kings)The Angels' Share by J.R. Ward
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

And the story goes on....

I finished the Bourbon Kings (book 1) not so long ago and knew that I had to get my hands on this ASAP. I loved this, and the way that it delved even deeper into the Baldwine families issues and relationships. I like how we see Lane and Lizzie working together to try and fix things even when they're not really Lizzie's problems and they way that their partnership seems so alien to the rest of his family members. I hope we seen more of Maxwell as a character in the next one and can find out more about his character.

I think that I need to get my hands on the next one in this series. I have to know how this whole thing with Edward is going t play out. Basically I want to gush about so much in this book but that would lead to spoilers. So in short, I'm really enjoying this series and highly recommend this; especially to fans of J R Ward. This still has her fantastic writing style they you would be used to from the Black Dagger Brotherhood series.

Great book. Need the next one.
