Magic Claims by Ilona AndrewsKate Daniels: The Wilmington Years #2Urban FantasyJune 13, 2023- NYLAARC Review by Angela You never really know how much you will miss certain characters and worlds until a series ends, and you're not sure if you'll ever see them again.

Jen’s Mini Reviews: Books by Christina Henry, Kate Canterbary and Tara Westover
I have a few mini reviews from wildly different authors. All are absolutely excellent and highly recommended. I’m starting with Lost Boy: The True Story of Captain Hook by Christina Henry. Wow!

In this not so happy fairy tale, Peter is a spoiled narcissistic psychopath. Not a doctor here…but I’m going for it with the psychopath Continue Reading
Review: Keyed Up by Sarah Estep
Keyed Up by Sarah EstepContemporary RomanceMay 4, 2023 Self-published Review by Melanie I discovered this book by sheer stroke of luck while scrolling through Instagram which is extremely unusual since I don’t actually spend a lot of time on Instagram.

Review: Unfortunately Yours by Tessa Bailey
Unfortunately Yours by Tessa BaileyA Vine Mess #2Contemporary RomanceJune 6, 2023- AvonARC Review by Angela I didn't love the first book in the series, Secretly Yours, neither the pacing nor the romance really worked for me and it took forever to finish.

I'm glad I did because this Continue Reading
