From the Ashes by Xen Sanders (Fires of Redemption #1) Released: January 2, 2017 M/M Paranormal Romance Entangled Reviewed by Mandi First of all, I really liked this book.

Deviant. Monster, devoid of morals, incapable of human emotion. The villain known as Spark has been called Continue Reading
Joint Review: On Broken Wings by Chanel Cleeton
On Broken Wings by Chanel Cleeton (Wild Aces #3) Released: January 3, 2017 Contemporary Romance Berkley Reviewed by Kini and Mandi Kini: I read Fly with Me, book one in the series, earlier this year.
