Review: A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna

July 23, 2025 by Angela 1 Comment

A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu MandannaCozy FantasyJuly 15, 2025, by Berkley Review by Angela I discovered this author when I read The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches a couple of years ago and absolutely fell in love with its charm and humor. I think when I found out that this author was publishing another book set in this world I was over the moon excited. I think this was one of my most anticipated reads of 2025. My expectations were high, and I was not Continue Reading

Retro Review: The Good Fight by Julianna Keyes

July 18, 2025 by Angela 1 Comment

Review originally posted by Kini on July 25, 2016. The Good Fight by Julianna Keyes (Time Served #3)Publication Date: July 25, 2016Contemporary RomanceCarina Press Reviewed by Kini Blurb: I was born a fighter. You had to be, to survive in Camden. Lucky for me, I loved it. The thrill, the pain, the glory. Until one night things went too far and I almost lost my ticket out. So I swore off fighting. Never again. No matter how much I wanted it. I went to college. Got a degree. Continue Reading

Review: Atonement Sky (Psy-Changeling Trinity #9) by Nalini Singh

July 17, 2025 by Melanie Leave a Comment

Atonement Sky by Nalini SinghParanormal RomanceJuly 15, 2025, by Berkley Review by Melanie Atonement Sky, the latest in Nalini Singh’s long running Psy-Changeling Trinity series goes where it has never gone before - to the skies. We’ve had leopards and wolves and bears (oh my!) and even taken to the water with the BlackSea Conclave but this is the first book in which we get an in depth look at a brand new changeling pack, WindHaven, made up of falcon changelings living in the desert Continue Reading

Review: Soulgazer by Maggie Rapier

July 9, 2025 by Angela 2 Comments

Soulgazer by Maggie RapierFantasy RomanceJuly 8, 2025- AceARC Review by Angela I 100% picked this book for review based on the cover. I'm not even going to downplay my absolute adoration for this gorgeous, gorgeous work of cover art. This is the story of a young woman, Saoirse, who is burdened by her power. The power to see the souls of the dead and kill with just a touch. She's been told by her father, the king, that this affliction stems from her touching a soul stone as a girl. Continue Reading

Review: Human Rites by Juno Dawson

July 3, 2025 by Kate Leave a Comment

Human Rites by Juno DawsonFantasyJuly 1, 2025, by Penguin Books Review by Kate I read all three of the books in Her Majesty’s Royal Coven trilogy in a week, and Human Rites was an excellent conclusion to a spectacular trilogy.  For me, one of the best things about these books is the way that Juno Dawson writes. It feels so cinematic, as if I’m watching a movie playing in my head. There’s just the right amount of description to let me imagine the settings, people and emotions Continue Reading

Review: Tusk Love by Thea Guanzon

July 2, 2025 by Angela 1 Comment

Tusk Love by Thea GuanzonRomantic FantasyJuly 1, 2025- Random House WorldsARC Review by Angela Honestly, one look at this cover while scrolling through social media and I was instantly intrigued. I probably would have read it for the cover alone even if the blurb didn't shout at me that I needed to put it on my TBR. So, bravo to the art department at Random House Worlds. Quick note- I am not a Critical Role fan and really had no idea how this story fit into that world until I Continue Reading

Review: When Javi Dumped Mari by Mia Sosa

June 25, 2025 by Melanie Leave a Comment

When Javi Dumped Mari by Mia SosaContemporary RomanceJune 24, 2025, by G.P. Putnam’s Sons Review by Melanie A slow burn friends to lovers told through dual POVs and dual timelines, the story of Javi and Mari vaguely echoes the same beats as When Harry Met Sally, a movie I don’t particularly like but I did enjoy this book. Javi and Mari meet in college and though they seem polar opposites in a lot of ways, a friendship blossoms. Sure, there's an underlying layer of simmering sexual Continue Reading

Review: Archangel’s Ascension by Nalini Singh

June 5, 2025 by Angela 1 Comment

Archangel's Ascension by Nalini SinghGuild Hunter #17Paranormal/Fantasy RomanceMay 6, 2025- BerkleyARC Review by Angela This has to be my most anticipated book in years and years. I kept hope alive throughout the series that these two would end up together, and then celebrated the first book in their story, even knowing that it would have to continue on in a later installment. I will admit that I read this book as soon as it hit my Kindle back in December of 2024 and writing a review Continue Reading

Review: Along Came Amor by Alexis Daria

May 29, 2025 by Melanie Leave a Comment

Along Came Amor by Alexis DariaContemporary RomanceMay 27, 2025, by Avon Review by Melanie Along Came Amor is the latest title from Alexis Daria and the third and final book in her Primas of Power series. Given that it’s been a minute since the last book in this series came out (almost 4 years to be exact), it took some doing for me to reacquaint myself with the series and the large cast of characters.  This story features a sexy romance between recently divorced school teacher Ava Continue Reading

Review: Left of Forever by Tarah DeWitt

May 21, 2025 by Melanie Leave a Comment

Left of Forever by Tarah DeWittContemporary Romance May 20, 2025, by St. Martin's Griffin Review by Melanie At some point, when I was reading this beautiful second chance romance, I started thinking about the reasons why I’m drawn to the romance genre so much. I’m almost exclusively a romance reader and the reason started to slowly dawn on me the deeper I got into the book. Romance is that rare genre built on the premise of hope. Think about it. You have two or more characters, human or Continue Reading
