The Thief and the Traitor Bride by V. L. BovalinoThe Hand and the Heart #2Fantasy RomanceSeptember 29, 2026 by ForeverARC Review by Angela I was so happy to be back in this world after loving the first book in The Hand and the Heart series, The Second Death of Locke, so much. The Thief and the Traitor Bride starts out a bit slower, at least for me it did, but I was soon drawn into this tale of estranged spouses, one a thief and one a spy, who are drawn together again for a Continue Reading
Review: The Stolen Crown by L.J. Andrews
The Stolen Crown by L.J. AndrewsThe Ever Seas #4Fantasy RomanceOctober 6, 2026 by Ace ARC Review by Angela I actually discovered this author when I happened upon her backlist on Kindle Unlimited. I read the Ever King first and then realized there was a whole nine book series, The Broken Kingdoms, about the parents of the main characters and set-up both the worldbuilding and conflict. So, I dove into to that series, inhaled all nine books and began the wait for the second book, The Continue Reading
Review: Wolftamer by Maggie Rapier
Wolftamer by Maggie RapierThe Magpie and the Wolf Duology #2Fantasy RomancePublished August 25, 2026 by AceARC Review by Angela I enjoyed the first book in this duology quite a bit. Pirates! Magic! Gods and sea monsters! Lost islands! And the cover art had me hunting down a physical copy for my library. When the follow-up came up for review I smashed that request button. Wolftamer begins right where Soulgazer left off, with the now married Saoirse and Foalan trapped on the Continue Reading

Review: The Hocus Pocus Handbook by Ann Aguirre
The Hocus Pocus Handbook by Ann AguirreCozy Fantasy Romance Published September 1, 2026 by SourcebooksARC Review by Angela I liked the premise of this book when I read the blurb, and the cover gave off cozy vibes, so I went for it and requested this for review. I will admit that this book was a real struggle to get through, the pacing was very slow, and I found myself picking it up, and then putting it back down after a few pages. I kind of feel like I was dropped into an already Continue Reading

Ravenous by Kresley ColeImmortals Untold #1Fantasy RomanceJuly 28, 2026 by Bloom BooksARC Review by Angela Even though I'm STILL waiting for some kind of resolution to the Immortals After Dark series, I mean I am keeping hope alive that eventually Furie, Nix, and Kristoff will get at least a HEA, I have a Kresley Cole addiction, which means I IMMEDIATELY wanted to get my hands on a copy of Ravenous as soon as it was announced. Did I care that this would be all new characters? Continue Reading
Mini Reviews: The Feywild Job by C.L. Polk and The Someday Garden by Ashley Poston
The Feywild Job by C.L. PolkLGBTQ Fantasy RomanceJune 30, 2026 by Random House WorldsARC When I read the blurb for The Feywild Job I was intrigued and liked the idea of a second chance cozy fantasy romance with heists and con jobs. I will also admit to being taken in by the cover. This was a fun book, I'm not a huge fan of the D&D world, but I enjoyed it, nonetheless. It does start out rather slow, building the character's backstories and the main character's previous Continue Reading

In the Wake of the Ruined by Kalie CassidyThe Siren Mage #2Fantasy RomancePublication: July 7, 2026 by Little, Brown and CompanyARC This was probably one of my most anticipated novels of the year. I really, really enjoyed the first book in the series, In the Veins of the Drowning, and liked the mythology and lore of sirens and gods and how they have intermingled their power and magic. I thought this might be a trilogy or more, but recently discovered that this would be a Continue Reading
