Review: Witch, Please by Ann Aguirre

September 8, 2021 by Melinda Leave a Comment

Witch, Please by Ann AguirreFix-It Witches #1PNRSeptember 7, 2021, by SourcebooksARCReviewed by Melinda I love the concept of this book so much. Contemporary paranormal small town romantic comedy with a magical electronical repair woman and and a bisexual baker. All of that just screams please read me! But the actual execution in the book was a little lacking in areas for me. Things I loved about the book: Danica’s magical ability. Danica is a technomancer, which I love. She’s able to Continue Reading

Melinda’s Favorites of 2020

December 29, 2020 by Melinda 6 Comments

YA: A Song Below Water by Bethany C. Morrow blew me away when I listened to it this summer. The worldbuilding she managed to do is astonishing considering it's about Black sirens but set in modern times. Combine that with a discussion of respectability politics and misogynoir as well as sisterly love. It's a book I wish I could re-read for the first time again, it's that good. You Should See Me In a Crown by Leah Johnson is delightful and made me so happy. The cover is just beautiful to look Continue Reading

Kate’s Favorites of 2020

December 28, 2020 by Kate 4 Comments

Historical Romance The Duke Who Didn't by Courtney Milan: I'm not entirely sure what I can say since I feel like everybody has already read and loved this book. The Duke Who Didn't is a fluffy romance with a side of food porn. I fell in love with Chloe and her lists and board clip, her dad and his spicy food for Jeremy, and Jeremy and his endearing goofiness. I can't wait to visit Wedgeford again. The Beast of Beswick by Amalie Howard: I read The Beast of Beswick near the beginning of Continue Reading

Review: Bitterburn by Ann Aguirre

November 19, 2020 by Kate 1 Comment

Bitterburn by Ann AguirreGothic Fairytales #1Fantasy RomanceOctober 31, 2020, Self-published Review by Kate With Bitterburn, I came for the Beauty and the Beast retelling and stayed for the story of two broken people finding each other and falling in love.  Bitterburn has all of the typical Beauty and the Beast story beats - the beastly hero, the enchanted castle, a curse, a library, a heroine who loves to read, and doesn’t know her own beauty. However, there were also differences Continue Reading

Angela’s TBR Update- Mini Reviews for books by Hailey Edwards, Ann Aguirre, and Ilona Andrews

January 22, 2020 by Angela 8 Comments

All of the books in this post I either purchased or were available in KU. All are also self-published. Sweep With Me (Innkeeper Chronicles #4.5) by Ilona Andrews 01/14/2020- I love Ilona Andrews and I especially love this series, so of course I one-clicked the pre-order button when I saw that I was releasing right after the new year. Sweep With Me is a novella length addition to the Innkeeper Chronicles and features Dina, Sean, and Gertrude Hunt. As with any Ilona Andrews book, Continue Reading

Review: The Wolf Lord by Ann Aguirre

March 21, 2018 by Tori Leave a Comment

The Wolf Lord by Ann Aguirre Ars Numina, #3 PNR/Fantasy March 14, 2018 Self Published Favorite Quote: “Maybe a marriage of convenience to a wicked wolf wasn’t so bad after all.” Reviewed by Tori Roguish. Reckless. Unreliable. Raff Pineda has a certain reputation among the Animari. He’s the one to call if there’s a party starting, not the man to rely on when all hell breaks loose. Though he’s nominally the leader of the Pine Ridge pack, he defers to his second on the tough calls. Continue Reading

Review and Giveaway: Aftermath by Ann Aguirre

August 31, 2011 by Mandi 73 Comments

Aftermath by Ann Aguirre (Sirantha Jax #5) Sci-Fi August 30, 2011 Paperback Ace I’ve probably said this in every Sirantha Jax review I’ve written, but I’ll say it again. I don’t read a lot of Sci-Fi. The thought of Sci-Fi just doesn't appeal to me. It’s like one step too far past paranormal and I don’t have interest. But long ago, someone recommended Grimspace by Ann Aguirre, and I picked it up. And I loved it. I can’t help but to compare Sirantha Jax to Kate Daniels (from Ilona Andrews Continue Reading

June 1, 2011 by Tori 18 Comments

Deuce, formerly known as Girl15, was born during the second Holocaust. She has survived her first 15 years of life and has earned the right to be named and to hunt. Born and Continue Reading
