Review: The House at Watch Hill by Karen Marie Moning

October 9, 2024 by Angela Leave a Comment

The House at Watch Hill by Karen Marie MoningThe Watch Hill Trilogy #1Urban Fantasy RomanceOctober 1, 2024- William Morrow Review by Angela As soon as I found out this author was releasing a new series, I added it to my TBR list. Karen Marie Moning is an author I've loved, from her old school romances to her more urban fantasy like Fever series. And while I kind of quit the Fever series as it evolved from a MacKayla to a Dani storyline (the last book I read in the series was Iced), Continue Reading

Review: So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison

September 12, 2024 by Angela Leave a Comment

So Thirsty by Rachel HarrisonParanormal/HorrorSeptember 10, 2024- Berkley Review by Angela Rachel Harrison is a new to me author and I've circled around her books for a while now. I will admit that a story about best friends turned bloodthirsty vampires appealed to me, which is why I finally hit that request button when it came up for review. This is the story of two best friends, complete opposites in every way, who get caught up in a terrifying situation. Sloane Parker is a Continue Reading

Review: Love and Other Conspiracies by Mallory Marlowe

August 28, 2024 by Angela 1 Comment

Love and Other Conspiracies by Mallory MarloweContemporary RomanceAugust 20, 2024 by Berkley Review by Angela I'm always up for something new and fresh, and a contemporary romance featuring a web series producer and a paranormal conspiracy theorist who fall in love while investigating Area 51 and looking for bigfoot seemed to fit that bill perfectly. Hallie Barrett is a producer at a company that produces Buzzfeed like content and is kind of in a funk. After breaking it off with Continue Reading

Review: De-Witched by Sophie H. Morgan

August 21, 2024 by Angela Leave a Comment

De-Witched by Sophie H. MorganToil and Trouble #2Paranormal RomanceAugust 20, 2024- HarlequinARC Review by Angela De-Witched is the second book in the Toil and Trouble paranormal romance series, and features Leah Turner, the human friend of Emma and Tia, and part owner of the bar Toil and Trouble, and Gabriel Goodnight, a warlock who is thrust into the human world, without full use of his magic, in order to satisfy a condition in his parent's will that would enable him to take over Continue Reading

Review: A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher

August 7, 2024 by Angela Leave a Comment

A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. KingfisherFantasy/Horror/Fairy Tale RetellingAugust 6, 2024- Tor BooksARC Review by Angela I've been in a bit of a book slump this year--constantly starting and stopping books, looking for something to catch my attention. But then a new T. Kingfisher appeared on my Kindle, and I just knew that this would be the thing to kick my reading year back into high gear. Based on this author's previous fantasy/horror titles, I was expecting something dark and Continue Reading

Review: The Secret Hook-Up by Pippa Grant

August 1, 2024 by Angela 2 Comments

The Secret Hook-Up by Pippa GrantContemporary Romance/Romantic ComedyAugust 1, 2024- Self-PublishedARC Review by Angela Whenever I need a bit of a breather from angsty, darker romances I pick up a Pippa Grant romantic comedy. The Secret Hook-Up is listed as being book number six in The Copper Valley Thrusters series, but it's really just an addition into the Pippa Grant Copper Valley universe. There will be many, many, many past characters, across several of her series, who readers Continue Reading

Review: Sanctuary by Ilona Andrews

July 31, 2024 by Angela 2 Comments

Sanctuary by Ilona AndrewsWorld of Kate Daniels #15.5Urban FantasyJuly 30, 2024- Self PublishedARC Review by Angela As a fangirl of this author duo, I usually avidly follow any serials posted on their blog, and then read it again as soon as the full, edited version hits Amazon. This being 2024, I had a lot of stuff going on with my life, and a ridiculous review schedule, so I decided to wait until it hit Amazon and read it in full. I was lucky to get an ARC copy of the novella, with Continue Reading

Review: The Undermining of Twyla and Frank by Megan Bannen

July 11, 2024 by Angela 1 Comment

The Undermining of Twyla and Frank by Megan BannenThe Undertaking of Hart and Mercy #2Fantasy RomanceJuly 2, 2024- Orbit Review by Angela I was super excited for this follow up to The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy. Especially when I heard it would feature two middle aged characters who have been best friends for a very long time. Twyla Banneker and Frank Ellis are neighbors, best friends, and partners with the Tanrian Marshals. Twyla is widowed with three adult children and Continue Reading

Review: The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty Greenwood

July 4, 2024 by Angela 3 Comments

The Love of My Afterlife by Kirsty GreenwoodGhost PNR RomanceJuly 2, 2024 by BerkleyARC Review by Angela I have a lot of luck with quirky romances that don't really fit into a specific genre. When I read the blurb for The Love of My Afterlife, I thought that it seemed like something that would be right up my alley. This book starts out when Delphie chokes on a burger and wakes up to find herself in a processing center for the afterlife. There she meets Merritt, her afterlife Continue Reading

Review: Romancing Miss Stone by M.C. Vaughan

July 3, 2024 by Angela 1 Comment

Romancing Miss Stone by M.C. VaughanBelize Dreams #1Contemporary RomanceJune 25, 2024- Afterglow Books by HarlequinARC Review by Angela This book popped up on my radar after seeing this cover while putting together the new release post. I know I've griped about cartoon, animated book covers recently, but this is one that is guaranteed to catch me eye. Vibrant colors, well-drawn characters that have all their facial features, and after reading I really think it captures the feel and Continue Reading
