ARC Review: Slip Point by Karalynn Lee

Slip Point

by Karalynn Lee

Space pirates anyone? This is my second story by Ms. Lee and I found it entertaining. Starting off we see Shay as a little girl and her only dream is to be the captain of her own ship (space ship that is). Her father was one and she's had a fascination with the stars. Then she met a boy who shared her passion. And living in a pretty small town/world? where nobody ever left to go become someone and do great things, their only option to accomplish their dreams is to enlist in the SpaceCorps.

But things don't turn out the way they expected them and Shay makes a decision that will take her on a path to become a renowned space pirate. She's left everything behind, including the love of her life, but she's doing something she loves.

Fast forward ten years and she's given a cargo mission that should be simple. Except nothing about being with Jayce again is simple. Their feelings for each other are still there, their issues have grown with her disappearance and re-appearance as a pirate. And somehow they have to work together for a common goal now.

Short and entertaining, I quite enjoyed it. Not a lot of steam, but for such a short story I think the author did a pretty good job at world and character building.

Review: Demon's Fall by Karalynn Lee

Demon's Fall

by Karalynn Lee

Paranormal Romance

Find it on GoodReads!

This was a quick, short read.  I really liked the concept of the story.  We have an incubus, Kenan, who goes to a sort of slave auction in Hellsgate, and gets himself an angel, Jahel.  She is in desperate need to get back the soul of the young girl she was assigned to.  So Kenan convinces her that he will help her, and they set off in a chase through Hellsgate of this girls soul, meanwhile they start developing feelings for each other.  They both fight the attraction at first, and he even seduces another girl in front of her, but they slowly give in to their feelings.

I liked the concept of Hellsgate, the town.  However the town was missing some spark, some action, some danger, something!  Of course this is a short story, so it's hard to cover all aspects of a story in regards to world building, romance, action.  The romance between Kenan and Jahel starts off pretty quick, it's mildly erotic, but I was not too attached to their characters from the beginning. 

They do go through some troubles trying to get the soul of the young girl back from a hellhound, and the storyline gets a little bit better towards the end where some more action comes into play, having to prevent the apocalypse and all.

I think the author might've tried to put too many ideas into a short story, and definetely it has more potential as a full book, but it was still an ok story!
