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

Audio Review: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

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

Angela’s Minis- A House with Good Bones by T. Kingfisher and The Spite House by Johnny Compton

March 31, 2023 by Angela Leave a Comment

A House with Good Bones by T. KingfisherHorror/Dark Fantasy3/28/2023 by Tor NightfireARC As much as I love this author's fantasy romances, I simply adore her horror stories. This is a tale of a woman, an archeologist, specializing in old bugs, who goes home on a break from work and notices something odd going on with her mom and the house she lives in. The weirdness starts immediately, almost as soon as Sam steps out of her car and onto the property in rural North Carolina. There are Continue Reading

Conquer the Kingdom by Jennifer EstepGargoyle Queen #3FantasyMarch 7, 2023, by Harper VoyagerARC Review by Angela This is it! The conclusion to the Gargoyle Queen trilogy, which features Gemma Ripley- princess, spy, and powerful mind magier. At the end of the previous installment, Tear Down the Throne, we left Gemma and her former enemy, now lover, Prince Leonidas Morricone at a tentative peace after Leo's brother, Milo, almost managed to fulfill his murderous plan. Leo and Gemma are Continue Reading

Review: The Minuscule Mansion of Myra Malone by Audrey Burges

January 27, 2023 by Angela 1 Comment

The Minuscule Mansion of Myra MaloneFantasy/Magical Realism1/24/2023 by BerkleyARC Review by Angela I had no idea what to expect when I requested this book for review. All I knew was that the blurb sounded intriguing and maybe a bit weird, and I liked the cover. But if anyone can tell by my reading choices last year, I'm all in on weird, intriguing PNR/Fantasy reads. Blurb: A woman learns to expand the boundaries of her small world and let love inside it in this sparkling and Continue Reading
