What I read this week: Archangel's Prophecy by Nalini Singh Guild Hunter #11 Urban Fantasy October 30, 2018 by Berkley I'm not sure how to review this book without giving away spoilers.

Kini’s Friday Kisses
The past week of reading hasn’t been great for me. Sin & Ink by Naima Simone- I picked this up because it contains one of my favorite tropes/themes, unrequited love.

According to the blurb, Knox is a retired MMA fighter, but part of the conflict is him maybe getting back in the ring. I don’t like MMA Continue Reading
