Find Me by Alafair BurkeMystery/Suspense01/11/2022 by HarperARC Review by Angela I read this back in December while I was going through my 'nothing looks good' reading slump that always seems to find me at the end of every year. I pick up a book, I put it back down. But Find Me by Alafair Burke held my attention from the get-go and I finished it in one sitting on Christmas Day. This is a multiple POV mystery/suspense that seemed to have a thousand plot threads. Readers are first Continue Reading

Angela’s Favorites of 2021
This year I focused my energy on reading whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. There were a lot of review books, but I also finally tackled some of my TBR and dove into the Kindle Unlimited world. Fantasy and Science Fiction romance seemed to be what I kept picking up over and over. Looking back over my Goodreads shelves I read a whopping 46 'aliens have abducted me, now what do I do?' books. I basically blazed a trail through the sub-genre and kept going back for more. Here are some of the Continue Reading
Review: Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-GarciaDark Fantasy9/7/2021 by Tor NightfireARC Review by Angela I really like this author, especially the fact that I never quite know what I'm going to get when I open one of her books. She jumps around genres, going from gothic suspense to fantasy to paranormal historical romance and I get a little excited with each new release. Certain Dark Things is labeled as dark fantasy horror and the version I'm reading is actually a rerelease with a new Continue Reading
Review: After Dark with the Duke by Julie Anne Long
After Dark with the Duke by Julie Anne LongThe Palace of Rogues #4Historical RomanceNovember 30, 2021, by AvonARC Review by Angela The fourth book in The Palace of Rogues series features an opposites attract, age-gap romance that has to be one of my favorite books by this author to date. After Dark with the Duke had me running a whole gamut of emotions, from happiness to heartbreak and everything in between. I loved every minute of it. Mariana Wylde shows up at The Grand Palace on the Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske and Along the Saltwise Sea by A. Deborah Baker
A Marvellous Light by Freya MarskeThe Last Binding Book #1LGBTQ Historical FantasyNovember 2, 2021, by Tordotcom This was such a unique fantasy world that I'm still thinking of it days after I finished reading. The world-building is just so superb. This magical, mysterious England where families pass down their abilities and are bound to their estates, where secret government agencies manage to keep all of these things hidden to the masses. Robin Blyth doesn't know anything about Continue Reading
Review: Fated Blades (Kinsmen #3) by Ilona Andrews
Fated Blades by Ilona AndrewsKinsmen #3Fantasy RomanceNovember 23, 2021, by MontlakeARC Review by Angela Before I get into this review I just have to say bravo to the cover artist for this beautiful cover and how well matched it is to a certain pivotal scene. Fated Blades is part of the Kinsmen universe, one of this author duo's lesser-known series. Which is a shame because it, like all of their work, is beyond awesome. Who doesn't love warring space families with special powers Continue Reading
Review: House on Fire (Ashes & Dust #2) by Jenn Burke
House on Fire by Jenn BurkeAshes & Dust #2LGBTQ Paranormal RomanceNovember 16, 2021, by Carina PressARC Review by Angela House on Fire is the second book in the Ashes & Dust series, yet the fifth book in this world. I can't tell you how excited I was when this book hit my Kindle. I love what Jenn Burke has created in this PNR series. Starting out where the previous book left off, Evan and Colin are still figuring out the bond between them, which doesn't allow them to be but a Continue Reading
Review: Wed to the Barbarian and The Barbarian’s Vow by Keira Andrews
Wed to the Barbarian and The Barbarian's Vow by Keira AndrewsLGBTQ Fantasy RomanceSelf PublishedKindle Unlimited Review by Angela I first saw the covers for this series on Amazon while putting together the new release post for the week. And I would be lying if I said it wasn't the word barbarian in the title that first caught my attention. Everyone should know by now that I'm a sucker for a sexy barbarian romance. When I discovered this would be a duology and feature the same main Continue Reading
