Princess of Blood by Sarah HawleyThe Shards of Magic #2FantasySeptember 30, 2025- Ace Review by Angela When I read the first book in this series, Servant of Earth, I was intrigued by the worldbuilding and enjoyed my overall reading experience, but I wasn't foaming at the mouth with book lust. So, when the second book came up for review, I knew I wanted to read it and see where the author took the story arc and how Kenna Heron, the FMC and new Princess of Blood House, would adapt to Continue Reading
Review: The Second Death of Locke by V.L. Bovalino
The Second Death of Locke by V.L. BovalinoThe Hand and the Heart #1Fantasy RomanceSeptember 23, 2025 by Orbit Review by Angela My reading tastes in 2025 can be summed up with-- awesome covers, badass FMCs (extra points for lady knights), and MMCs who would literally SACRIFICE THEMSELVES for their lovers. That's it. That's all I'm asking for. Soooo, that being said, there's the blurb from Amazon for The Second Death of Locke: Love. Loyalty. Sacrifice. Grey Flynn has Continue Reading
Review: Faeling by S.E. Wendel
Faeling by S.E. WendelMonstrous World #4Fantasy RomanceAugust 24, 2025- Self PublishedKindle Unlimited Review by Angela I discovered this series via scrolling through Kindle Unlimited options.

I've been on the edge of my seat waiting for Ravenna and Vallek's story, and pretty much hit the read now button as soon as it became available and Continue Reading

Review: Gabriela and His Grace by Liana De la Rosa
Gabriela and His Grace by Liana De la RosaHistorical Romance August 26, 2025 by Berkley Review by Melanie This review is going to be super annoying to write because for the first 85% of this book, I was so confident that this was going to be a 5 star book and already mentally penning the 5 star review in my head and….then the last 15% of the book happened and honestly, I am so irate. I gave this book 4 stars on Goodreads because the first 85% is so strong and overall, this entire Continue Reading

Review: August Lane by Regina Black
August Lane by Regina BlackContemporary RomanceJuly 29, 2025, by Grand Central Publishing Review by Melanie I became an immediate fan of this author after reading her debut novel, The Art of Scandal and awaited her second novel with great anticipation. August Lane does not disappoint in that regard. If anything, it takes the drama found in her first novel and increases it by a hundred times. This book is all caps DRAMA. The titular heroine in August Lane is the daughter of a Continue Reading
