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

Review: Crowbones by Anne Bishop
Crowbones by Anne BishopThe Others #8, World of the Others #3FantasyMarch 8, 2022, by AceARC Review by Angela It seems like forever since the release of the last Others book by this author, but it was really only 2019. When I tell you I was excited to jump back into his world, that would be an understatement. Crowbones was one of my most anticipated releases of 2022. Once again readers find themselves in Lake Silence and Sproing with Vicki, Julian, and the people who live and around Continue Reading
Review: Electric Idol by Katee Robert
Electric Idol by Katee RobertFantasy Erotica1/18/2022 by Sourcebooks CasablancaARC Reviewed by Jen I was so excited to get Electric Idol by Katee Robert.

Who, as an aside, is not a nice loving individual. Aphrodite uses Eros to do her dirty work, killing things and such. I continue to really love this Continue Reading

Review: Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-GarciaDark Fantasy9/7/2021 by Tor NightfireARC Review by Angela I really like this author, especially the fact that I never quite know what I'm going to get when I open one of her books. She jumps around genres, going from gothic suspense to fantasy to paranormal historical romance and I get a little excited with each new release. Certain Dark Things is labeled as dark fantasy horror and the version I'm reading is actually a rerelease with a new Continue Reading

King of Battle and Blood by Scarlett St. ClairDark Fantasy11/30/2021 by Bloom BooksARC Review by Jen I’m on a roll with finding so many awesome books over the last few months.

Angela’s Minis- A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske and Along the Saltwise Sea by A. Deborah Baker
A Marvellous Light by Freya MarskeThe Last Binding Book #1LGBTQ Historical FantasyNovember 2, 2021, by Tordotcom This was such a unique fantasy world that I'm still thinking of it days after I finished reading. The world-building is just so superb. This magical, mysterious England where families pass down their abilities and are bound to their estates, where secret government agencies manage to keep all of these things hidden to the masses. Robin Blyth doesn't know anything about 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
