The first thought that comes to mind after finishing this book is. . . well, frankly it was a bit weird. You know how sometimes series will read as standalones but certain characters appear throughout the series (well, this happens in romance a lot, at least)? That’s kind of how this book felt. Despite being the first in the series, this felt like a continuation […]
What even was this book? I mean the entire plot from the very beginning seems so far-fetched that it’s almost comical and then the characters were all up and down for me so I finished with a pretty big question mark over my head. Irene runs a newspaper featuring quite a bit of scandal news and a column offering advice to readers much like a […]

Then allow me to welcome Eloisa James to the blog! Hello! I’m so thrilled to be introducing my new series and the amazing, eccentric cast of characters that stars in […]
I’m such a sucker for historical romances, especially ones set in Scotland. This one was an. . . interesting one compared to others I’ve read as the romance wasn’t star-crossed lovers style so much as a forced arrangement that turned into something more. I’ll be honest, the marriage between Alasdair and Fiona took me by surprise. The whole premise that there is an ancient clan […]
This book kept me up into the early hours of the morning as I read it in one sitting. I think it was the slow burn romance that kept me glued to my eReader screen until I finished it. Definitely the slow burn. Dirty Dancing at Devil’s Leap is the third in the Hellcat Canyon series, though read well as a standalone so don’t worry […]
For an author whose work I’ve seen time and again in the stores but never picked up, I’m just wondering what was wrong with me?! I grabbed The Duchess Deal on a whim, just happened to be looking for a historical romance that night, and couldn’t put it down. This book starts off a bit rough. You’re given very little background information and thrust right into the […]
I’m not sure what to say about this book. I read it after a really stressful day and the reading itself lifted my mood significantly. The Rogue Not Taken definitely didn’t disappoint when it comes to romances. To be fair, I’ve read enough of those free books on my Nook that I’m not really sure what qualifies as good or not. At first, I thought this […]
I’m disappointed. I love this series. Like, top ten must-read series love. And Up from the Grave is the last book. I wanted that 5-star mind-blowing end to the adventures of Cat and Bones. Instead, I had a satisfying but lackluster finale. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed book 7 but it had its issues. Issue numero uno: the plot. WTF Frost? Talk about predictable. You cut out […]
We’re six books into this series. Six. By this point, the series has either continued on with as much captivating detail as those initial few books…or it’s started to descend into the realm of disappointment. Sadly, I found One Grave at a Time tipping toward the latter. While Frost has yet to deliver a book I didn’t enjoy, this book just didn’t live up to the others. […]
Before I say more about this book, I just want to mention that if you haven’t read the two spin-off books within the Night Huntress books, First Drop of Crimson and Eternal Kiss of Darkness, then you will be missing a decent chunk of time between books 4 and 5 of the Cat and Bones storyline. Granted, you don’t have to read the spin-offs as […]
