Joint Review: Deadly Sting by Jennifer Estep
Deadly Sting by Jennifer Estep (Elemental Assassin #8) Releases: March 26, 2013 Urban Fantasy Pocket Reviewed by Tori and May Red is definitely my color.

Still, it would be nice to get a night off, especially when I’m attending the biggest gala event of the summer at Briartop, Ashland’s fanciest art Continue Reading

Review: Captive Prince Volume One and Volume Two by S.U. Pacat. AKA–Mandi’s New Favorite Series
I received a recommendation to read Captive Prince Volume one and two by S.U Pacat from both Janine at Dear Author and Brie and Romance Around the Corner (and if you follow those two links you can read their reviews).

Was it hard to read? Oh yes. But those scenes have a great impact on the overall Continue Reading
