Rain's Reviews: Sacrifice of Love by Quinn Loftis

Sacrifice of Love by Quinn Loftis

Sacrifice of Love (The Grey Wolves, #7)

As one evil falls, another rises in its place. The powerful witch, Desdemona, has finally been killed by an alliance of wolf, elf, and fae. But Reyaz, brother to Cypher the warlock king, has vowed retribution for a life that was taken from him. Now Cypher must decide not only how to protect his newfound mate and his people, but also how to destroy the only family he has left.

Meanwhile, Jen’s pregnancy progresses and the fateful due date draws ever nearer. The thought of losing Decebel’s child constantly threatens to overwhelm her. With each passing day, Decebel grows more distant, causing Jen to wonder what toll the impending loss of their child is taking on him. Unbeknownst to Jen, in an act of desperation to protect his unborn child and mate, Decebel strikes a deadly bargain with the Great Luna—his life in place of his child’s. There is only one way for that to happen; the bond between he and Jen must be broken.

As Jen as Decebel struggle through their darkness, another kind of darkness is infiltrating Fane’s heart. Doubts and questions linger as he tries to cope with the emotions brought on in the aftermath of Desdemona’s curse. He knows what happened wasn’t real, but still he can’t rid himself of the terrible images seared into his memory. Jacque is his light, the one who keeps the darkness at bay, yet he won’t let her inside to do just that.

Sally continues to learn what it means to be a gypsy healer and Costin struggles to protect her as she runs full speed ahead to help her wolves, heedless of her own safety. She sees her best friends struggling, each enduring their own trials. She’s desperate to help them, but can she keep them safe?

With all of these things hanging heavy over the heads of the Serbia and Romania packs, their attention is divided. The wolves do not even realize a threat has slowly infiltrated their midst. Will they recognize the threat in time to save the lives that precariously hang in the balance?

Against this backdrop of darkness, choices will be made, fears will confronted, and the ultimate sacrifice will be made. Will the wolves stand together to defeat the threats arrayed against them, both from within and without? Will love conquer all? Or will the beleaguered wolves finally succumb to their demons? ~Goodreads

Sacrifice of Love sucked. Not in a bad way- not at all. But in a sad way. In a way that you feel as though you need to go to your friend and vent about all these things that go on in the book. It sucked in a way that you didn’t want it to finish because you knew it was the end. That is was all ending on the last page. Actually, for me, I don’t think the gravity of the situation set in. Sacrifice of Love is it. fin. there will be no more Grey Wolves Series. No more Jaque, Sally, or Jen. Not really. No more Fane, Costin or Decebel. No evil witches, deranged werewolves, psycho warlocks. I started this series the first weekend of November in 2012. I read the first, what four books? Five books? through out my move and reread them countless times. Probably each book at least four times in that period of time. Sally, Jen and Jacque have been a part of my life for almost a year on the tip of my tongue and present in my mind. How am I supposed to let them go? In this final book the entire gang is back together to defeat Cyphers crazy-butt brother. the twists and turn were heart wrenching and mind blowing. I am so wrought with emotional now trying to write this. I can’t go into detail- there are to many thing I might unwittingly reveal. And if you’ve been reading this series for this long you shouldn’t need me to tell you to read this book. Go out Grey Wolves readers, lovers, friends, I know you won’t be disappointed.

Flight- Alyssa Rose Ivy

Flight (The Crescent Chronicles, #1)
Description off Goodreads
This is a fun, funny, smexy, and totally paranormal romance! I went on a search for a para- romance to keep me entertained this weekend and the book definitively did its job. The story was set in New Orleans (the hub for all things paranormal). It centers on an an 18 year old girl who has moved to New Orleans for the summer before her first year at Princeton to work at her dads hotel. Allie has sworn off boys because of her past relationships ending badly. So when Allie and Levi meet though they have major chemistry she tries to keep her distance but this hot, smart, and persistent guy just won't take a no.  
("Flight is most definitely a romance but it lives up to is YA/Teen title and stays clean:).)
I definitely connected with Allie right away, she was the ideal heroine.She is smart, has common sense, and stands up for herself. Sure there were a few "Why did you do that?" moments but nothing so drastic that kept me from loving her.(She was perfect compared to Luce from Fallen) 
Levi is smart, hawt, edgy, stubborn and a little stupid (i know you weren't expected that last one were you? hehe). Levi was everything a great paranormal hero should be with just enough flaws to make him believable. Once he set his sight on Allie  he wasn't going to stop until he had her and I had to say I loved him for it! 
Overall this book lived up to my expectations of being a quick, fun, and lovable paranormal romance and I will definitely be reading the second one soon (Oh yeah, MAJOR cliff hanger at the end hehe).
