What began as your typical regency romance turned into a great read, exceeding my expectations. The Governess Affair is a novella prequel to The Duchess War, book one of the Brothers Sinister series by Courtney Milan. Its heroine, Serena, was put into a bad position by a visiting duke and now wants her revenge. To keep face, the Duke of Clermont sends his man, known […]

Cue vamp hunting missions, the introduction of Ian, Bone’s sire, […]
For fans of the Night Huntress series, Happily Never After is a great quick read featuring a few new characters (and one old favorite). Before I continue, I will say that if you’re looking for some Cat and Bones action, this is not the book for you. Happily features Chance, a vampire sired by Bones who is sent to help out the granddaughter of one […]

Ysabel, a witch, sold her soul to the Devil in return for revenge on her murders. Now, for the last five centuries, she’s played assistant to the lord below, sassing his […]
Heir of Fire is what I consider a monster read. Packed with a number of smaller stories all tied into one, this massive book brought its A-game. Not only did a lot happen to move the story forward, even more acted as a set-up for the next installment (because how can there not be a fourth book after the events of this one?). Celaena/Aelin is across […]
It really says something about an author when she can deliver a 10-book series and keep the story exciting. Each Chicagoland Vamp book is packed with action, mystery, and romance without becoming carbon-copies of each other. These books have an edge of individuality to set each one apart, and Blood Games is no exception. The latest installment in the series, Blood Games picks up after […]
Claimed by Shadow starts right after book one with Cassie fighting her newly inherited Pythia powers while trying to avoid dying at the hands of the magical community, all of which are more than eager to get their hands on a little extra magic mojo.

After reading The Copper Witch (book 1 of the Broken Line series), I was curious where Adela would go next. Instead, I found that The Porcelain Child (book 2) is the story of Adela’s daughter, Mary. While a tad disappointed with the change, I decided to go in with an open mind, expecting similar aspects from book one in the sequel. The Porcelain Childis Mary’s […]

The third installment of the Lunar Chronicles series gives us the story of Cress (our futuristic Rapunzel) and her rescue from the satellite she’s been trapped in. Talk about a new take on towers. At the same time, we get to return […]
