Review: Dragon Unleashed by Grace Draven

June 17, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

Dragon Unleashed by Grace Draven Fallen Empire #2 Fantasy Romance June 9, 2020 by Ace ARC Favorite Quote: "You will always have a place among us, a place beside me, in life and beyond death when the earth sings us to dust and tells the wind of how Halani of the Lightning loved a draga and he loved her in return." I've never made any secret of the fact that I am unabashedly a Grace Draven fangirl and have loved all her work. Dragon Unleashed is the second novel in her Fallen Empire Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Fantasy/PNR Reviews for books by Shelly Laurenston, Sierra Dean, and MaryJanice Davidson

April 1, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

Badger to the Bone by Shelly LaurenstonHoney Badger Chronicles #3PNRMarch 31, 2020 by KensingtonARC I'm still surprised when I find readers who love PNR, but still haven't picked up a Shelly Laurenston book. I mean if you love zany, laugh out loud humor and a crazy good time, this is the author for you. I won't even get into the plot but suffice it to say it's full of ups and downs and wild and crazy characters. This is Max's story and it begins when she rushes headlong into her own Continue Reading

Review: The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

March 19, 2020 by Angela 3 Comments

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ KluneLGBT FantasyMarch 17, 2020 by Tor BooksARC Favorite Quote: "Hope?" Linus said stupidly."Hope," Mr. Parnassus repeated. "Because that is what we must give him, what we must give all of them. Hope and guidance and a place to call their own, a home where they can be who they are without fear of repercussion." I’ve seen TJ Klune talking about his new book with his new publisher on Twitter for awhile now. As soon as I read the blurb I knew I had to Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Jennifer Estep and A.S. Fenichel

March 18, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

Crush the King by Jennifer EstepCrown of Shards #3FantasyMarch 17, 2020 by Harper VoyagerARC Favorite Quote- I had started this journey as a gladiator, and I was going to finish it as one. The finale to the Crown of Shards series was exactly what I hoped it would be. What began as a young, seemingly insignificant, woman witnessing the annihilation of her entire family line ends with a queen avenging their deaths and crushing her enemies. At her side are her friends, family, and consort Continue Reading

Review: House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas

March 4, 2020 by Angela 6 Comments

House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. MaasCrescent City #1Science Fiction/Contemporary Fantasy March 3, 2020 by Bloomsbury ARC Favorite Quote: Through love, all is possible. This book y'all. 800 pages of brilliant worldbuilding, fascinating characters, and an intricate, twisty-turny plot that kept me turning pages. Unfortunately, I had to sleep, eat, and work on occasion, which meant it took me most of last week to get through this debut to the Crescent City series. But, what a lovely Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Book Reviews for books by Lisa Kleypas and Simone St. James

February 19, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

Chasing Cassandra is the sixth book in the Ravenels series by Lisa Kleypas and I couldn't wait to read Tom and Cassandra's love story. From glancing at the ratings and reviews on Goodreads I think I'm the only reader in Romancelandia who didn't absolutely love this book. LOL. Not that I didn't enjoy my time spent reading, because I did, but it didn't blow me away. Tom and Cassandra meet by chance at her sister Poppy's wedding and it is lust at first sight for Tom. Cassandra on the other hand Continue Reading

Angela’s TBR Update- Reviews for books by Tracy Lauren, AJ Demas, and Selene Charles

February 12, 2020 by Angela 4 Comments

I didn't have any review books for this week so I decided to take a look at my Kindle TBR and KU lists and see what has been languishing unread for awhile. I couldn't decide what of my Kindle Unlimited books to read so I kind of closed my eyes and randomly picked. My finger landed on Tamed by the Troll by Tracy Lauren (The Perished Woods #1). This is a new to me author and I think I added it to my KU because an author on social media recommended. Although I don't remember who that author Continue Reading

Review: A Heart of Blood and Ashes by Milla Vane

February 4, 2020 by Angela 2 Comments

A Heart of Blood and Ashes by Milla VaneA Gathering of Dragons #1Fantasy RomanceFebruary 4, 2019 by BerkleyARC This was my most anticipated read of 2020. Milla Vane, also known as Meljean Brook, is the author of one of my all time favorite romances, The Kraken King. If you haven't had a chance to read this wonderful steampunk/fantasy romance yet, do yourself a favor and go one click because it's simply amazing and Zenobia and Ariq are magnificent. I will admit that I dove into this world Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Charlaine Harris and Tessa Bailey

January 15, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

Love Her or Lose Her by Tessa BaileyHot & Hammered #2Contemporary RomanceJanuary 14, 2020 by AvonARC I love the second chance/marriage in trouble trope when it's done well. Having enjoyed the first book in the series, Fix Her Up, I was intrigued to find out the next book would be about the married couple in the group of friends introduced. I couldn't wait until my ARC hit my Kindle. This was a very enjoyable read. I was hooked almost from the first word, but I couldn't tell if that Continue Reading
