A Congress of Roses by Melissa J. CaveEmpire of the Stars #4Fantasy RomanceMay 1, 2026- Self-PublishedARC Review by Angela I happened upon this series while perusing through Kindle Unlimited offerings and decided to take a chance on an unknown to me author, simply because I was intrigued by the blurb. The first book in the series, Traitor Son, had me hooked and I immediately hit the read now button for Stardust Child, the second book in the Empire of the Stars series. And Continue Reading
Review: Archangel’s Eternity by Nalini Singh
Be sure to come back later today for Melanie's review. Archangel's Eternity by Nalini SinghGuild Hunter #18Urban Fantasy RomanceMay 5, 2026- BerkleyARC Review by Angela I kind of thought the last book in the series, Archangel's Ascension, which had huge time jumps, closed out Aodhan and Illium's story arc, and featured Illium's ascension and the aftermath, would be the last book in this series. I was okay with that as readers finally got the love story they'd been waiting for Continue Reading
Review: The Sea Spinner by Julie Johnson
The Sea Spinner by Julie JohnsonReign of Remnants #2Fantasy RomanceApril 28, 2026- Ace Review by Angela I was a little on the fence about continuing this series. The first book was just so-so for me, as I really, REALLY did not care for the male main character and his attitude toward the heroine. If he was the love interest, I wasn't sure I could believe in any kind of HEA. You can read my review for The Wind Weaver here. I even mentioned that there was another character who I Continue Reading

Mini Reviews: Wolf Worm by T. Kingfisher and Heir of Twisted Lies by L.J. Andrews
Wolf Worm by T. KingfisherHorrorMarch 24, 2026 by Tor NightfireARC I can't keep up with all the new releases from this author. I think I've read three or four in the last year. I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book, I just knew I was in for a treat. I must warn you though, there are so many bugs in this book, so if bugs are a hard no for you then this book might not your cup of tea. This book starts out slowly, as the main protagonist, Sonia Wilson, arrives at a house Continue Reading

Review: Into the Midnight Wood by Alexandra McCollum
Into the Midnight Wood by Alexandra McCollumFantasy RomancePublished on January 13, 2026 by Dutton Reviewed by Kate Into the Midnight Wood is billed as a whimsical fantasy romance and I believe it lives up to that expectation. There are some moments that aren’t so lighthearted but overall it’s a lovely story about two people getting to know each other and themselves better. I’m going to be honest that this review has been difficult for me to write because on one hand, I Continue Reading
