Let’s Discuss: Lover at Last by J.R. Ward
Please note!! There are spoilers below. If you do not want to be spoiled, I wrote a spoiler-free review of Lover at Last for USA Today. JR Ward has been torturing us for years with Blay and Qhuinn.

However – while yes we get lots of different side stories, I was very happy with Blay and Continue Reading

Learn the concept!” I must begin this review by stating that Mr. Novikov (aka my favorite character in this series) got a good amount of page time and scenes – which delighted me endlessly. I simply adore him because he Continue Reading
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. Good thing, because in my line of work, I end up wearing it a lot. Most people shy away from blood, but for an assassin like me— Gin Blanco, aka the Spider—it’s just part of the job. 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
