This week it is books with colours in the title. I'm doing ten red titles. I have read and liked each of these books! I've provided links to the Goodreads review page.
1) Jamie Hutchison-Red Swarm
Swarms of eel hybrid monsters are coming ashore to feast on people around the world. It's up to the scientists and the British Navy to find a way to stop them! Exciting creature feature sea adventure!

2) Philippa Gregory-The Red Queen
I read this a few years back and didn't write a great review so I want to do a series re-read now that it has been completed.

3) Jamie McGuire-Red Hill
A woman escapes the zombie apocalypse and heads for a safe location nearby and faces an anxious wait to see if her family and other survivors make it there. Emotional and tense zombie apocalypse read.

4) Jaye Wells-Red Headed Stepchild
Funny and action packed UF about a half vampire half mage assassin and her friends who try to stop an evil creature from starting a supernatural war. Brilliant shopping addicted demon who is turned into a hairless cat!

5) Jackson Pierce-Sisters Red
Fairy tale retelling of a young woman obsessed with hunting down werewolves and the strain it puts on her family. I'm not much for this kind of thing but I enjoyed it at the time.

6) AJ Church-Red Awakening
I reviewed the first two books in this series for an author back in 2013. It's an UF dystopian book full of magic, hobgoblins and a battle against evil. They both seem like stand alone books in the same universe and I liked book two the best. Details are hazy now!

7) Marie Hall-Crimson Night (aka RS Black)
A half demon called Lust working in a freaky carnival kills evil creatures for the greater good and finds herself knee deep in trouble. Heavy on the sex side of things but I really liked the characters and always mean to read book two.

8) Martha Wells-All Systems Red
A security android with an anxiety issue and addiction to entertainment space dramas has to protect a group of humans on an exploration. Murderbot is endearing, funny and relatable to anyone with social anxiety! Love this series!

9) Jeaniene Frost-First Drop Of Crimson
Companion/spin off to the Night Huntress series which fills in the gaps of the story of Denise and Spade. I thought this was the best of the companion novels that I've read and a good action UF in its own right.

10) Erica Hayes-Cherry Kisses
Although this is book #4.5 in the series I read it as a standalone and really enjoyed the action plot and snarky MC. I never read the rest of the series as it was said to be an eroticc paranormal series which isn't for me!

Fun! I only ended up with three red titles on my list. Who knew so many books have the color red in their title? :D
ReplyDeleteI've got a few more unread reds so maybe another list in the future! All of these got 3 stars and above.
DeleteOh! I've read a few of these - Sisters Red, All Systems Red, and A Drop of Crimson.
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
I keep thinking about getting the new Murderbot but I need to wait for the paperback and be content with the ebook for now!
DeleteSome great titles here and actually several I've read. I noticed I had an abundance of red, black and white in my titles this week.
ReplyDeleteI had a lot of red and black so I'm saving the black for another day when I'm short of ideas!
DeleteNow that's a lot of red "read" books! LOL, just ignore me :P
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Read reds are good!
Deletelove your selection. i'll take one of each. :-)
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
They were certainly all enjoyable reads!
DeleteI think there’d be a lot of horror books with red in the title. It’s a creepy color!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Yes you'd certainly think so. Red is the perfect horror cover colour for graphics and titles!
DeleteYay for All Systems Red, and Red Headed is a great cover also!
ReplyDeleteThe Jaye Wells series kept up a pretty good standard through the series and at five books, it never went on too long. The short stories were fun too! I want to wait and get the new Murderbot in paperback so I hope it doesn't take a year to come out!
DeleteMurderbot, he is everywhere! You have just made me remember I think I have that Jamie Maguire book on my kindle, I must look.
ReplyDeleteI heard mixed reviews of Red Hill before I read it so I was surprised to really enjoy it! The short novella follow up was good but Goodreads ate my review so I need to read it and write it again!
DeleteThere's a bunch of these I've been meaning to read! But aaah, Murderbot. <3 I still need to read the novel!
ReplyDeleteSame here...I sort of want to read it in paperback when it comes out as I hate reading long books on the ereader! I can relate to Murderbot wanting to avoid people!
DeleteOnly one I've read here is First Drop of Crimson and I remember enjoying it but not a lot about it...
ReplyDeleteI like Spade and it had a good story. It felt more UF to me but the other spin offs were too PNR for me!
