Clockwork Boys and The Wonder Engine by T. Kingfisher Clocktaur War books 1 & 2 Fantasy Favorite Quote: "Would you like to go on a suicide mission?" she asked instead. He smiled. It was the first genuine smile she'd seen all day. "I would be honored," he said. I one-clicked both of these books after reading this blurb: A paladin, an assassin, a forger, and a scholar ride out of town. It’s not the start of a joke, but rather an espionage mission with deadly serious stakes. T. Continue Reading

Reviewed by Angela Holy smokes this book. Honestly, when this series started I would have never in a million years Continue Reading

Holy shit, this is both incredibly sweet and incredibly fucking stupid." Friends to lovers is Continue Reading

What I read this week: Captive Desire by Robin Lovett Planet of Desire #2 Erotic Science Fiction Romance November 19, 2018 by Entangled Publishing Favorite Quote: She is everything. She is all there is. Her body is my universe. For now. I've been reading quite a bit of fantasy/urban fantasy/science fiction romance lately. This might sound weird, but when I feel like everything is a total dumpster fire I want stories that completely sweep me away to another world. Captive Desire is Continue Reading

The main protagonists are Tsumiko, who inherits an estate, a fortune, and a person from an Continue Reading

Maybe it's because this series has been so sad and terrible at times, the treatment of the cryptids so horrific, Continue Reading

What I read this week: Archangel's Prophecy by Nalini Singh Guild Hunter #11 Urban Fantasy October 30, 2018 by Berkley I'm not sure how to review this book without giving away spoilers. Although I'm sure by now, most romance readers aware that Elena and Raphael are once again in the spotlight and have heard the ruckus over the cliffhanger ending. Archangel's Prophecy starts out slow and easy, readers are thrown right back into a familiar world. I always enjoy those first few chapters Continue Reading

What I read this week: Band Sinister by K.J Charles Historical M/M October 11, 2018 by KJC Books I loved this book. Loved, loved, loved. This might even be my favorite romance by KJ Charles. I was scrolling through twitter a while back and came upon a tweet by the author saying that she had gone "Full Heyer" and that there were all the tropes my heart could possibly desire and from that moment on I was all in. Virgin country gentleman forced into close proximity with his dastardly (but not Continue Reading
