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

Review: The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St. James
The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St. JamesGothic MysteryMarch 15, 2022, by Berkley BooksARC Review by Angela I will pretty much read anything Simone St. James writes. After glomming her backlist a couple of years ago, I was eager to read her latest whodunit, featuring a true-crime sleuth and the one case that still baffles a small well-to-do community. Set in Claire Lake, Oregon, The Book of Cold Cases starts out slowly by introducing Shea Collins, by day a receptionist at a medical Continue Reading
Review: If You Ask Me by Libby Hubscher
If You Ask Me by Libby HubscherContemporary Romance/WFMarch 8, 2022, by Berkley Review by Angela Before I even get into the review, it must be said that if you are picking up this book based on the cover you will be either be sorely disappointed or super surprised (possibly both) by the content. This is absolutely not a romantic comedy in any, way, shape, or form. I would even go so far to say that this isn't even really a contemporary romance, although there is a romantic element within Continue Reading

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: Hook, Line, and Sinker by Tessa Bailey
Hook, Line, and Sinker by Tessa BaileyBellinger Sisters #2Contemporary Romance3/1/2022, by Avon Review by Angela It Happened One Summer was one of my favorite books last year. When I tell you that I wanted Fox and Hannah's book desperately I'm not exaggerating. I would have done pretty much anything for an early copy. Which is why when it landed on my Kindle in October I dropped everything to read. And I was not disappointed. This is very much a determined bachelor bad boy turned Continue Reading

Legends & Lattes: A Novel of High Fantasy and Low Stakes by Travis BaldreeFantasyFebruary 22, 2022- Self PublishedPurchased Review by Angela Twitter really is a great place to find recommendations. This book popped up on my feed, and honestly, I don't even remember who shared it, but I was hooked the moment I saw the cover. I am always here for a great fantasy read and the addition of "high fantasy with low stakes" reeled me in. Legends & Lattes follow Viv, an orc mercenary Continue Reading
