Hello lovelies! So I’m slowly catching up with my Netgalley TBR, but I’m still quite behind. I probably should focus on finishing some of my reviews, but I’m just not in the mood. Been browsing blogs and then I saw The Netgalley Tag over at Danielle’s blog, theintrovertedbooknerd. Maybe the universe is telling me something or whatever. Anyway, I wasn’t tagged to do this, but it looked fun so I thought I’d give it a try.

RULES

Link back to the tag’s creator: Kourtni at Kourtni Reads.
Thank and link back to the person who tagged you.
Answer the questions the best you can. If you don’t use NetGalley, you can substitute other sites or places where you get books!
Tag a few people to do this too!

AUTO-APPROVED:

Who’s one author whose books you automatically want to read, regardless of what they are about?

I actually have a few, but anything by Kasie West. I love all her books so every time I see a new book being released, I don’t even read the synopsis anymore…I just add it on my TBR/wishlist.

REQUEST:

What makes you want to request a book on NetGalley?

Definitely the synopsis. If it’s something I think I would enjoy, then I request.

FEEDBACK RATIO:

Do you review every book you read? If not, how do you decide what books to review?

Yes I do review every book I read. I’m kind of behind right now, but I’m slowly making progress.

BADGES:

If you could create one badge to display on your blog, what would it be for?

Totally stealing Danielle’s idea and go with Most Requested Galleys. There are just so many books I want to read and every time I see a book that looks interesting, I just request without thinking about the ones that’s been in my dashboard for more than 2 months…What can I say, I’m a request-addict!

WISH FOR IT:

What’s one book that you are absolutely dying to read?

Renegades by Marissa Meyer! I doubt I’ll get approved since I’m pretty behind and my ratio is only at 42% right now.

2017 NETGALLEY CHALLENGE:

What was the last book that you received as an ARC that you reviewed? If you’ve never received an ARC, what’s the last book you reviewed?

A Messy, Beautiful Life by Sara Jade Alan. I absolutely love that book. Check out my review HERE.

An ancient legend draws them together.

His dark soul will tear them apart.

Sometimes the only fairytales that exist are the dark ones.

For the past two years, Hope Annandale has fought to hold onto her sanity. Plagued by voices and visions, she struggles to understand what’s real, and what’s an illusion. As the lines between reality and hallucination blur, Hope discovers things that shouldn’t be real, suddenly exist. When Hope’s world falls apart, figuring out the secrets of her past becomes a matter of life and death. And the only one who can save her is the dangerously attractive demon prince, who is bound by an ancient legacy to betray her. The fate Stone has fought to escape is here. With destiny on one side, and desire on the other, Stone must protect Hope from the one thing he can’t hide from, his birthright.

What if the one person you were meant to be with could never be yours? Stolas, the first novel in the Dark Soul series is a riveting tale of passion, danger and forbidden love. Intended for mature readers 18+ due to language, violence, sexual situations and dark themes.

EXCERPT:

Dark thoughts loom in the back of my mind as I hover over this mortal. As much as she intrigues me, my frustration with her for trussing me to this self-imposed protection detail is festering. I’m programmed to despise human and divine life, not bind myself to it.

“I’m the prince of darkness, sweetheart, not a bodyguard,” I whisper into the night, and brush the hair away from her face, wanting to feel her soft skin against my fingers.

I’d allowed my temper and frustration with the archangel to get the best of me, tethering myself to this oracle. A mortal with a divine soul. One my father wants to use for his own selfish revenge. The dull irony is that I’ve vowed to safeguard her from the one thing I will never be able to protect her from—my own birthright.

I move away from her, even though it’s the last thing I want to do, and take a seat in the chair facing her bed. I should have made her leave last night, but it doesn’t matter now. I couldn’t stay away from her any longer. Vassago wouldn’t allow it.

She is my mission.
She has chosen her fate.
And I’m bound to save her from the one thing I can’t protect her from—my dark soul.

Author Bio:

Randi Cooley Wilson is the bestselling author of The Revelation Series, The Royal Protector Academy Novels, The Dark Soul Trilogy, and “Covetousness” a Havenwood Falls Novella. She resides in Massachusetts with her husband and daughter.
