October 18, 2023 by Angela Leave a Comment

My Darling Girl by Jennifer McMahonThriller/HorrorOctober 3, 2023- Gallery/Scout PressARC Allison O'Connor survived her childhood, and her mother, barely. Now she's married, with two girls, and the successful author of a children's book. She's mostly put her past behind her, and then her mother's caretaker calls and informs her that Mavis is dying of cancer. And she wants to spend her last days with her daughter and her family. So Allison- despite her fears and better judgment- moves Continue Reading

September 28, 2023 by Angela Leave a Comment

Spider and Frost: An Elemental Assassin and Mythos Academy novella by Jennifer EstepFantasySeptember 26, 2023- Self-PublishedARC Review by Angela Spider and Frost is a crossover novella featuring Gin Blanco of the Elemental Assassins series and Gwen Frost from Mythos Academy. This fast-paced adventure is full of familiar faces, magic, and mythology. Gin Blanco, aka the Spider, is on vacation with Owen, Finn, and Bria when she's cut off from her friends and forced to take a planned Continue Reading

Review: The Witches of Bone Hill by Ava Morgyn

September 27, 2023 by Angela Leave a Comment

The Witches of Bone Hill by Ava MorgynFantasy September 26, 2023- St. Martin's GriffinARC Review by Angela This is the third book I've read this year with the word witches in the title. The first was a lighter paranormal romance, the second a little darker- more magical realism than fantasy, and lastly, The Witches of Bone Hill, a much darker fantasy, almost straddling the horror line. Cordelia Bone's life is spinning out of control. Her cheating husband left her nothing but debt, Continue Reading

Review: All the Dead Shall Weep by Charlaine Harris

September 7, 2023 by Angela 1 Comment

All The Dead Shall Weep by Charlaine HarrisGunnie Rose #5Fantasy/Alternate HistorySeptember 5, 2023- Gallery/Saga Press Review by Angela I've enjoyed the Gunnie Rose series so far. The first three books focus on Lizbeth Rose, the fourth on her sister Felicia, and now we finally see them on the page together, with their POVs featured in alternating chapters. This book starts slowly, with Felicia and Paul, Eli's brother, arriving in Texoma for a visit. There is tension between Continue Reading

Audio Review: Empire of the Vampire By Jay Kristoff

August 31, 2023 by Jen Leave a Comment

Empire of the Vampire by Jay KristoffDark FantasyMacmillan AudioSeptember14, 2021 Review by Jen I started a new gig and we’re moving, too! Things have been busy and I haven’t read as much as I would normally like. But, this book was absolutely addicting and I just had to share. A little history, my book pipeline went from Harry Potter to Twilight to all things Anne Rice, then Black Dagger Brotherhood…which I eventually just had to give up on. THERE’S JUST SO DAMN MANY IN THAT Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher and Looking Glass Sound by Catriona Ward

August 25, 2023 by Angela Leave a Comment

Thornhedge by T. KingfisherFairytale Retelling/FantasyAugust 15, 2023- Tor BooksARC T. Kingfisher is an author I've grown to love, whether it's romantic fantasy, horror, or in this case a twisted fairytale retelling. This is a reimagined sleeping beauty, where the sleeping princess is an evil changeling and the fairy godmother is actually the heroine of the story. Yes, there is even a kind-hearted knight bent on rescue, but he's not what you've come to expect either. Thornhedge is Continue Reading

August 11, 2023 by Angela 1 Comment

Cypress Ashes by Kai ButlerSan Amaro Investigations #7LGBTQ+ PNR/Fantasy RomanceJune 19, 2023- Self-PublishedKindle Unlimited This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year, the finale for a truly fabulous fantasy series. This series has everything- old gods, saints, werewolves, dragons, witches of every kind, the fae, and a local private investigator and his detective lover out to save the world. The individual mysteries are just plot lines in a bigger series arc that is Continue Reading

Review: The Hanging City by Charlie N. Holmberg

August 9, 2023 by Angela Leave a Comment

The Hanging City by Charlie N. HolmbergFantasyAugust 1, 2023- 47NorthAmazon First Reads Review by Angela Charlie N. Holmberg is fast becoming one of my favorite fantasy authors. Lucky for me several of her books have appeared on the Amazon First Reads list and I’ve gobbled them up ahead of release date. When the email came this month and I spied this cover I didn’t even have to read the blurb, I just hit the buy now button. Little did I know that this new fantasy world features a Continue Reading

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

Fourth Wing by Rebecca YarrosEpic FantasyMay 2, 2023, Entangled Review by Jen If you’re on TikTok, you CAN NOT escape the hype about Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. I saw the posts. I loved the posts. I bought the audio book.  I’m going to start this review by focusing on the end first. Wow oh wow…that end, that cliff hanger! Imagine if you will a dogfight scene from one of the Top Gun movies. But instead of planes, we have dragons, gryphons and one other mystery beast Continue Reading

Crowns of Nyaxia

Crowns of Nyaxia Duet by Carissa BroadbentDark FantasySecond book: April 14, 2023 Review by Jen If you’re a reader of fantasy romance, this duet is definitely for you! I couldn’t wait to read these two books every day and night. They’re SOOO good! Fans of ACOTAR, Blood and Ash, Red Queen and yes…even Hunger Games (with some added spice!) will love it.  Oraya is a human young woman. She has been raised by the vampire king, Vincent, since she was a small child. This is just Continue Reading
