Nettle & Bone by T. KingfisherFantasy/HorrorApril 26, 2022, by Tor BooksARC Review by Angela As much as I adore this author's romantic fantasies, and I absolutely do, sometimes I actually prefer her horror novels. If you haven't read The Hollow Places and The Twisted Ones, you should definitely get on that. This is very much a novel in two parts. The beginning introduces our main protagonist and tells the story of how she came to be on the perilous mission she is currently Continue Reading
Review: Book Boyfriend by Kris Ripper
Book Boyfriend by Kris RipperLGBTQIA Contemporary RomanceCarina Adores PressApril 26, 2022 by Kate H. I had to adjust my expectations a lot as I read Book Boyfriend, and I expect most readers may not have the patience. Written as an inner monologue with all the verbal habits, like “like” and “you know” intact, it tells the story of PK or Preston Kinglsey Harrington III. Like many “the thirds” he has the benefit of generational wealth, and he lives in a New York apartment with a Continue Reading
Review: Highway to Hail by Sierra Dean
Highway to Hail by Sierra DeanRainchaser #3Urban FantasyApril 26, 2022- Self-publishedARC Review by Angela This was one of my most anticipated releases this year. The previous installment, Driving Rain, came out in 2017 and left off on a HUGE cliffhanger. So for five years, I've kept my fingers crossed that this author would release another book in this series and put me out of my misery. And now it's finally here! I was kind of worried that with the wait in between releases I would Continue Reading
Review: Tanked by Mia Hopkins
Tanked by Mia HopkinsContemporary RomanceApril 26, 2022, by Little Stone Press Review by Melanie To say that I was waiting with great anticipation for the third and final installment of Mia Hopkins’ Eastside Brewery series would be a bit of an understatement. It had been 3 years since book 2 had come out and after having read the final book, I can honestly say it was more than worth the wait. Tanked is the story of the youngest Rosas brother, Angel Rosas. We only get the barest Continue Reading

Scenic Sunday: Trashed by Mia Hopkins
Last week’s Scenic Sunday highlighted scenes from Thirsty and this week, I’m taking a look back at Trashed, the 2nd book in the Eastside Brewery series. Trashed focuses on the middle Rosas brother, Eddie, who we meet briefly at the end of Thirsty. If the main theme of Sal’s story was about redemption and reinvention, then Eddie’s story is all about rebirth and rejection - that is, rejection of what’s in the past and instead, choosing to look forward. I highlighted the hell out of this book Continue Reading

Review: Go Hex Yourself by Jessica Clare
Go Hex Yourself by Jessica Clare Contemporary Paranormal Romance Published April 19, 2022 by Berkley Reviewed by Kate I have been enjoying the influx of witchy romances onto the romance market right now, but Go Hex Yourself by Jessica Clare fell short for me. To illustrate just how much, I will share that when it came down to finishing my taxes, or finishing this book, my taxes were done first. The main issue that I had with Go Hex Yourself is the inconsistent pacing. The first Continue Reading
