1001 Dark Nights: Bundle Six by Jennifer L. Armentrout, Alexandra Ivy, Lorelei James

4.0

3.75 Stars!

I will admit that I wondered about some of the editing; there were a handful of grammatical and editing issues throughout all the stories (ex: one story had someone feeling like they were walking to the principles office, rather than the principal's office.)

Dream of You by Jennifer L. Armentrout 4 Stars
I haven't read the rest of this series yet, but I liked this one. I liked how protective Colton was from the beginning. I did get a little frustrated with Abby's thought process on Colton's hanging around, but I was glad that Jillian kind of helped get Abby to pull her head out. I did get slightly worried about the whole Nicole thing, even though I kind of knew Colton wasn't interested, but I was worried that Abby would do something. Overall, I liked this story and I want to read the rest of the series.

Stripped Down by Lorelei James 3.75 Stars
I really liked this story. The teasing between Wyn and Melissa was pretty hot and I liked it a lot. I loved the way both of them were helping get things going and letting Sutton and London enjoy their day. I will admit that Melissa frustrated me with keeping the diabetes things from people. Like, I get not blabbing it at the wedding or to Wyn at first, especially when it seemed like they were going to be a one and done kind of situation. Once she started staying at Wyn's place, she should have said something. Like, not saying she needed to gush about all the details, but maybe mentioning "hey I need to watch my blood sugar" would have helped. Even though she wasn't really on page, I did not like her mother. I did laugh at Alyssa's rushing to defend Melissa and the way she was pissed that she hadn't been told.

Rage/Killian by Alexandra Ivy & Laura Wright 3.75 Stars
I liked Rage a lot more than I liked Killian. Overall, this was interesting; the Pantera legend was intriguing but I did feel like both of the stories had a bunch of backstory that you were supposed to already be aware of, which didn't help with following the story. I found myself kind of giggling with Rage and the fact that he seemed to grudgingly go after Lucie and then didn't want to leave. The Killian story frustrated me at the beginning; Rosalie was kind of acting like a child who'd had her favorite toy taken away. And going back to the "backstory you need to know" there were references to the fact that she'd been held captive and lost her mate but it was referred back to so much that I'd been hoping for a bit more explanation on things.

Dragon King by Donna Grant 4 Stars
I laughed at Arian's confusion with Grace and his surprise at how she managed to end up at the cave. Considering this was a novella, of course things evolved quickly, but I was still laughing at how surprised Arian was at things. I got frustrated at Con and the way he pushed Grace, not only with the questions but also the storm.

Ignite by Rebecca Yarros 3.5 Stars
I liked the relationship between River and Avery. They were such great friends even if there was the yearning sort of on both sides. I will admit that Avery frustrated me a little bit. I get sticking around for Addy at the beginning but by this point in the story, it had been long enough that if she really wanted to do what was best for Addy, she should have gone after guardianship before this. I did get frustrated that she'd been so ready to move to Colorado, but the second she heard her father screwed up, she shut down. I get that her dad was an ass and didn't help things but still. It shouldn't have taken Addy giving her the paper for her to go "oh, there is another way". I did like the fact that River admitted he loved Avery and he was willing to move everyone to Colorado. Then when Avery shut down, he didn't push, he told her what he was hoping for and then he kind of gave her time.

Fated Identity by Kennedy Layne 3 Stars
I didn't like this one as much as any of the others, and for some reason I had a hard time really getting into it. The whole thing about the relationship between Grady and Brienne felt like that came out of nowhere; not sure if there was more explanation in previous books, but Grady shows up in the office to call Brie out on making choices and then suddenly she wants to talk about why he won't commit? I could understand Grady being reticent to fully love someone again, considering everything that had happened with Madison. I did like that they finally got down to what each wanted instead of dancing around it, like they had done in her office.
