It doesn't matter if this author writes under the name Milla Vane or Meljean Brook, I simply adore every word she pours onto the page. This is a scene toward the end when Maddek finally realizes that Yvenne has been telling him the truth all along. "Maddek!"He reined the horse around to see Yvenne limping toward him, her face still pale and eyes still shadowed, but not in so much pain. She carried a small velvel pouch, and was digging through it--pulling out jewels, strands of gold. As if Continue Reading
Review: The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. Armentrout
The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. ArmentroutFantasy RomanceBlue Box PressMarch 15, 2022 Review by Jen Whew…The War of Two Queens by Jennifer L. Armentrout is a LONG book. I think it was 25 hours!! I’ve listened to every book in this series- with two more to go- and the author changed this one up a bit with dual narration. It stunned me at first when Casteel spoke and low and behold it was a real guy! After the initial shock, I did really enjoy his voice. There’s been some Continue Reading

Scenic Sunday: Faefever by Karen Marie Moning
When Angela first mentioned the idea of Scenic Sunday, I KNEW EXACTLY which series I wanted to revisit. I just wasn't sure which scene. Hmmm....so many great moments in the Fever Series. I think this series is what got me into urban fantasy and down the rabbit hole of Jeaniene Frost, Kresley Cole, Gena Showalter, Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, and of course, JR Ward. I seriously need to reread this series, it's been years. Jericho Barrons will always be my #1 book boyfriend!! I'm already Continue Reading
Review: The Plated Prisoner Series by Raven Kennedy
The Plated Prisoner Series by Raven KennedyRomantic FantasyOctober 16, 2020 Reviewed by Jen TikTok made me read it.Jen, 12/2021 Soo….this series isn’t complete yet and there’s one helluva cliff hanger on book three. The fourth book is being released sometime in 2022. The horror of not having a date is killing me. This series is all over BookTok and I finally decided to see what the hubbub was about. It has all my normal Kindle crack of fae, magic, unique kingdoms, evil kings and Continue Reading
Review: Fated Blades (Kinsmen #3) by Ilona Andrews
Fated Blades by Ilona AndrewsKinsmen #3Fantasy RomanceNovember 23, 2021, by MontlakeARC Review by Angela Before I get into this review I just have to say bravo to the cover artist for this beautiful cover and how well matched it is to a certain pivotal scene. Fated Blades is part of the Kinsmen universe, one of this author duo's lesser-known series. Which is a shame because it, like all of their work, is beyond awesome. Who doesn't love warring space families with special powers Continue Reading

Review: Wed to the Barbarian and The Barbarian’s Vow by Keira Andrews
Wed to the Barbarian and The Barbarian's Vow by Keira AndrewsLGBTQ Fantasy RomanceSelf PublishedKindle Unlimited Review by Angela I first saw the covers for this series on Amazon while putting together the new release post for the week. And I would be lying if I said it wasn't the word barbarian in the title that first caught my attention. Everyone should know by now that I'm a sucker for a sexy barbarian romance. When I discovered this would be a duology and feature the same main Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- KU Reading Update
Rogue Ghosts & Other Miscreants (The Guild Codex: Warped Book 3) by Annette Marie and Rob Jacobsen- Another great book in this world. The Guild Codex; Warped features Kit and his partner, Lienna, and this time they are put on a top-secret kidnapping case by their captain. And it's to track down the criminal known as The Ghost, aka the Crystal Druid, aka Zak. I feel like this is a pivotal book in this series and this world. Readers not only get to see Kit and Lienna, but Zak plays a huge Continue Reading
Review: The Revelation of Light and Dark by Sawyer Bennett
The Revelation of Light and Dark by Sawyer BennettChronicles of the Stone Veil #1Romantic Fantasy/Urban FantasyFebruary 9, 2021Reviewed by Jen Some of my favorite reads over the past several months have been in the fantasy category. The cover for The Revelation of Light and Dark by Sawyer Bennett has the same vibe as the Ash and Blood series and ACOTAR. Of course, I was in. First up- here’s your warning, each book ends on a cliffhanger. Big cliffhangers. BUT, the first three books Continue Reading
