Review: Three Trials - Kristy Cunning

So, I've checked off some life goals and added a few new ones to my list.

Goal #5: Get out of hell's belly without letting my ungrateful charges die.

Goal #6: Get a new name that's more badass.

Goal #7: Stop wasting my breath on lectures and start annoying the quad hell squad every time they annoy me. Fight fire with fire. Ha! Another hell pun.

Goal 8: Find out who the hell killed me.

I'll add more. I don't want to overwhelm myself before I even finish checking off my old goals. But seriously, I really do need a more badass name, considering how much I have to keep saving my damsels in distress.

I probably shouldn't call them damsels, since they're a little murderous and all.

Maybe I should add seeing a hell-certified psychologist to my list of goals.

Review:
Three Trials picks up Keyla's story right after the end of Four Psychos so Keyla and her men are stuck in hell and about to take part in a series of trials that they are very unlikely to survive. Luckily for the warriors they have a friendly ghost on their side and since she's appointed herself their guardian she is going to use whatever abilities she has to make sure they make it through.

I don't want to give too much away about this story but I enjoyed it even more than the first book. Keyla is still the snarky and hilarious girl we already knew and loved but I found myself liking the guys much more in this one because while they're still wary of her they do manage to treat her better than before. I like the fact that the romance is slow build in this series but things are starting to heat up a little as the guys are finding it harder and harder to resist temptation.

We get some really interesting revelations about Keyla's background here as we finally learn who she actually is and why she has such a strong connection to Kai, Jude, Ezekiel and Gage. There was also plenty of action and some really nice developments in the world building so I'm definitely looking forward to seeing where the story takes us next and I'll be diving into the next book very soon.

Review: Four Psychos - Kristy Cunning

I'm not so different from most people.
Like everyone else, I have life goals.

Goal #1: Become a real girl instead of this invisible ghost thing I currently am.

Goal #2: Convince the four men I've been haunting for the past five years to pick me to be their new toy after goal one is complete.

Goal #3: Figure out who/what I am and why I can't remember anything past the five years I've been haunting this quad.

Goal #4: Eat popcorn.

See? Perfectly normal. Sort of.
Gotta start small, after all.
It's not like anyone else is perfect either.

Review:
Four Psychos is the start of a fun reverse harem series with a very unusual premise. The main character Keyla is a ghost who has no memory of life before she died, her whole existence boils down to the last 5 years which she has spent living with a group of four supernatural men. She may have been stalking these guys but until now she's had no way to communicate with them, they can't see or hear her and she can't have any kind of effect on her surroundings. It's been a lonely time for her but the men have become like family, she knows everything about her even though they have no idea she exists. Keyla's powers have slowly been growing though and during an attack on her men she suddenly makes a break through so for the first time she can remember people can actually see and talk to her.

Keyla is over the moon by this development but Kai, Jude, Ezekiel and Gage are much more sceptical about things, not surprising really when a strange woman appears and seems to know everything about their lives! The guys don't trust her and have no way of knowing whether she is telling the truth or not but it's very obvious from her abilities that she is something they've never come across before and they're determined to get to the bottom of the mystery.

This was a great introduction to the series and it definitely left me wanting more. I really enjoyed the banter between Keyla and the others and I really liked the fact that they were so sceptical about her sudden appearance and the strange things she was telling them. I also appreciated that although they found her attractive this didn't dive immediately into a full on harem relationship (it's actually pretty tame, there's no sex just a couple of steamy scenes but I'm sure we'll get much more in the sequel!). Their relationship feels more realistic because it's a slow build and I'm enjoying seeing them all get to know each other properly now they can communicate. I have to admit I got a little annoyed with how badly some of the guys treated Keyla but she was more than capable of standing up to them and calling them out on their bad behaviour so it did have that going for it.

I'm looking forward to finding out more about what is going on, who Keyla really is and why she seems to be linked to the guys, who is targeting the guys and why, and of course watching their relationship continue to develop.
