Review: The Wedding Crasher by Mia Sosa

May 12, 2022 by Angela Leave a Comment

The Wedding Crasher by Mia SosaContemporary RomanceApril 5, 2022, by AvonARC Review by Angela This was one of my most anticipated releases in 2022. The first book featuring this cast of characters, The Worst Best Man, cracked me up. Seriously, I was laughing out loud at work and sneak reading between clients. I could not put it down. Inject that kind of romantic comedy straight into my veins. The Wedding Crasher features Solange Pereira and Dean Chapman, cousin to the FMC and best Continue Reading

Out of the Ashes by Jenn BurkeAshes & Dust #3LGBT Paranormal RomanceMay 10, 2022, by Carina PressARC Review by Angela Out of the Ashes is the third and final book in the Ashes & Dust series featuring private investigator Evan Fournier and his former bond mate, phoenix Colin. You could say that Evan and Colin have seen some stuff in the last two books. Their relationship might have started out as an accidental bond formed in a moment of danger, but it has grown into love and Continue Reading

Review: Book Lovers by Emily Henry

May 5, 2022 by Angela 2 Comments

Book Lovers by Emily HenryContemporary RomanceMay 3, 2022, by Berkley Review by Angela I've become an Emily Henry fangirl over the last couple of years, so when this book hit my Kindle I set aside everything to read. Book Lovers centers around two main characters deeply involved in the publishing world. Literary agent extraordinaire Nora Stephens and her editor nemesis Charlie Lastra. They first cross paths at a coffee meeting to discuss her biggest client's new manuscript. He Continue Reading

Tear Down the Throne by Jennifer EstepGargoyle Queen #2FantasyMay 3, 2022, by Harper VoyagerARC Review by Angela The third book in the Gargoyle Queen series by Jennifer Estep picks up just a short time after the events in the previous installment. Princess Gemma Ripley of Andvari is back home from Morta, but her time spent there and the tortures she suffered will never be able to be forgotten. She still hasn't quite figured out what devious plots Prince Milo has planned or forgotten the Continue Reading

Review: The Children on the Hill by Jennifer McMahon

April 28, 2022 by Angela Leave a Comment

The Children on the Hill by Jennifer McMahonGothic Horror/SuspenseApril 26, 2022, by Gallery/Scout PressARC Review by Angela I've kind of been on a gothic suspense/horror kick for the last couple of years. In between my romance and mysteries, I find myself reaching for something with that creepy, dark, scare factor. I discovered this author last year when she released The Drowning Kind and immediately added her to my auto-buy shelf. The Children on the Hill is told in alternating Continue Reading

Review: Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher

April 28, 2022 by Angela 2 Comments

Nettle & Bone by T. KingfisherFantasy/HorrorApril 26, 2022, by Tor BooksARC Review by Angela As much as I adore this author's romantic fantasies, and I absolutely do, sometimes I actually prefer her horror novels. If you haven't read The Hollow Places and The Twisted Ones, you should definitely get on that. This is very much a novel in two parts. The beginning introduces our main protagonist and tells the story of how she came to be on the perilous mission she is currently Continue Reading

Review: Highway to Hail by Sierra Dean

April 27, 2022 by Angela 1 Comment

Highway to Hail by Sierra DeanRainchaser #3Urban FantasyApril 26, 2022- Self-publishedARC Review by Angela This was one of my most anticipated releases this year. The previous installment, Driving Rain, came out in 2017 and left off on a HUGE cliffhanger. So for five years, I've kept my fingers crossed that this author would release another book in this series and put me out of my misery. And now it's finally here! I was kind of worried that with the wait in between releases I would Continue Reading

A Perilous Perspective by Anna Lee HuberA Lady Darby Detective Mystery #10Historical MysteryApril 19, 2022, by BerkleyARC Review by Angela The tenth book in the wonderful Lady Darby Mystery series starts out innocent enough, with a gathering of Kiera's family to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of Charlotte and Rye. Set in the Scottish Highlands, mainly at Rye's great uncle's estate, what starts out as a lovely time for the family, soon becomes a mess of murder, mystery, and art forgery. Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Beneath the Stairs Jennifer Fawcett and The Last Eligible Billionaire by Pippa Grant

April 7, 2022 by Angela Leave a Comment

Beneath the Stairs by Jennifer FawcettGothic Mystery/Suspense2/22/22 by AtriaARC I picked up Beneath the Stairs for two reasons: this is a new to me author and I'm always on the lookout for new authors in genres I enjoy and the summary sounded interesting. This book had everything to keep me engaged... a ramshackle house out in the woods, rumored ghosts of a murdered family, two women haunted by their visit inside the house as young girls, and chapters that skip from past to present-day Continue Reading

Sebastian has come to France to track down his mother, who he has been searching for since finding out earlier in the series that she is very much alive. I don't think I'm spoiling Continue Reading
