Review: Crowbones by Anne Bishop

March 9, 2022 by Angela 4 Comments

Crowbones by Anne BishopThe Others #8, World of the Others #3FantasyMarch 8, 2022, by AceARC Review by Angela It seems like forever since the release of the last Others book by this author, but it was really only 2019. When I tell you I was excited to jump back into his world, that would be an understatement. Crowbones was one of my most anticipated releases of 2022. Once again readers find themselves in Lake Silence and Sproing with Vicki, Julian, and the people who live and around Continue Reading

Review: Wild Sign (Alpha & Omega #6) by Patricia Briggs

March 17, 2021 by Angela 5 Comments

Wild Sign by Patricia BriggsAlpha & Omega #6Urban FantasyMarch 16, 2021 by Ace Review by Angela Favorite Quote: He pulled her tight against him. "I will defend your heart and your soul with everything in me." Content Warnings: Violence, mentions of rape, child trafficking, pet deaths, and miscarriage. It feels like it's been forever since readers were able to spend time with Anna and Charles. I sure did miss them. As much as I enjoy Mercy and Adam, I'm absolutely smitten Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for Books by T. Kingfisher, A.J. Hackwith, and K. Eason

October 8, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

The Hollow Places by T. KingfisherHorror/ FantasyOctober 6. 2020 by Gallery/Saga PressARC I love this author's fantasy novels, but it wasn't until last year that I realized she was delving into the horror genre as well. The Twisted Ones was FANTASTIC, which means as soon as her sophomore effort in the genre came up for review I hit my request button. The Hollow Places is pure dark, creepy, goodness. I was enthralled from the moment the main protagonist, Kara (or Carrot by her uncle), Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson and Mr. Malcolm’s List by Suzanne Allain

July 23, 2020 by Angela 2 Comments

The Year of the Witching by Alexis HendersonFantasy/HorrorJuly 21, 2020 by AceARC I've never hidden the fact that I make a lot of my book buying decisions based first off the cover and then by reading the blurb. The Year of the Witching caught my eye in a Twitter thread about up and coming, new authors of color and as soon as I clicked on the link I knew I had to get my hands on a copy. This is kind of a mash up of all the dystopian, religious cult like horror stories you've read... yet Continue Reading

Review: Dragon Unleashed by Grace Draven

June 17, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

Dragon Unleashed by Grace Draven Fallen Empire #2 Fantasy Romance June 9, 2020 by Ace ARC Favorite Quote: "You will always have a place among us, a place beside me, in life and beyond death when the earth sings us to dust and tells the wind of how Halani of the Lightning loved a draga and he loved her in return." I've never made any secret of the fact that I am unabashedly a Grace Draven fangirl and have loved all her work. Dragon Unleashed is the second novel in her Fallen Empire Continue Reading

Angela’s Tuesday Reviews: Sci-Fi/Fantasy Edition

October 1, 2019 by Angela 2 Comments

Aurora Blazing by Jessie MihalikThe Consortium Rebellion #2Science Fiction RomanceOctober 1, 2019 by Harper VoyagerARC As I'm sure everyone who reads my reviews (or deals posts every time it goes on sale) by now knows, I ADORED the first book in this series, Polaris Rising. I still get chills when I think of the first meeting between Loch and Ada. And the tension between Ada's sister Bianca the family head of security Ian Bishop left me on greedy for more. I loved the heroine, Bianca. Continue Reading

Angela’s Tuesday Thoughts

September 10, 2019 by Angela 1 Comment

The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E HarrowFantasySeptember 10, 2019 by RedhookARC I had zero expectations when I requested this book for review. The cover is what first drew me in and the blurb is what had me hitting the request button. Blurb: In the early 1900s, a young woman searches for her place in the world after finding a mysterious book in this captivating and lyrical debut. In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. Continue Reading
