Review: The Lost Story of Eva Fuentes by Chanel Cleeton

October 2, 2025 by Melanie

The Lost Story of Eva Fuentes by Chanel CleetonHistorical FictionSeptember 30, 2025 by Berkley Review by Melanie Let me preface this review by stating that this is very much a historical fiction and not a historical romance. There is a very faint romantic storyline in this book but it is hardly the driving force or the main focus of the story. It is merely a slight sideplot and if that’s not your cuppa, then this book may not be for you. That being said, I was thoroughly engrossed Continue Reading

Review: Princess of Blood by Sarah Hawley

October 1, 2025 by Angela

Princess of Blood by Sarah HawleyThe Shards of Magic #2FantasySeptember 30, 2025- Ace Review by Angela When I read the first book in this series, Servant of Earth, I was intrigued by the worldbuilding and enjoyed my overall reading experience, but I wasn't foaming at the mouth with book lust. So, when the second book came up for review, I knew I wanted to read it and see where the author took the story arc and how Kenna Heron, the FMC and new Princess of Blood House, would adapt to Continue Reading

September 24, 2025 by Angela

The Second Death of Locke by V.L. BovalinoThe Hand and the Heart #1Fantasy RomanceSeptember 23, 2025 by Orbit Review by Angela My reading tastes in 2025 can be summed up with-- awesome covers, badass FMCs (extra points for lady knights), and MMCs who would literally SACRIFICE THEMSELVES for their lovers. That's it. That's all I'm asking for. Soooo, that being said, there's the blurb from Amazon for The Second Death of Locke: Love. Loyalty. Sacrifice. Grey Flynn has Continue Reading
