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.

I was lucky to get an ARC copy of the novella, with Continue Reading

She adored Nalini’s books and was rightfully convinced that I would love the Psy-Changeling series despite my claims that I just didn’t think PNR was for me. To appease her, I picked up Continue Reading
