Angela’s Minis- Reviews for The Ippos King by Grace Draven and Over the Woodward Wall by A. Deborah Baker

October 26, 2020 by Angela 4 Comments

The Ippos King by Grace DravenWraith Kings #3Fantasy RomanceOctober 6, 2020, Self-PublishedARC "We live for those we love," she told him in bast-Kai. "We die for those we love. This is a privilege, Serovek, not a sacrifice." I've never made a secret of the fact that I am a Grace Draven fangirl and she continues to wow me with each new release. The Ippos King was originally serialized on her website, and then edited and released in ebook form in its entirety. I decided to forgo reading the Continue Reading

Smexy’s October TBR

October 6, 2020 by Angela 3 Comments

Angela: Hold on tight... I have a LIST. I feel like every book I want to read this year releases in October. (So many I'm not even going to list them all here.) The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab 10/6 Fantasy- I've actually already read this one, simply because I couldn't resist. AND IT WAS FABULOUS. This is a story of a woman who makes a deal with the devil in order to be free and have nothing holding her down, only she doesn't exactly get what she expects. No one remembers Continue Reading

The Deadly Hours by Susanna Kearsley, C.S. Harris, Anna Lee Huber, and Christine Trent 9/1, Historical Fiction/Historical Mystery: I grabbed an early copy of this as soon as I saw Susanna Kearsley and C.S. Harris were contributers, but I'm also looking forward to getting a taste of a couple of new to me authors as well. Continue Reading

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

Smexy’s June TBR

June 1, 2020 by Angela 5 Comments

Angela- I have so many books on my TBR list this month I've been itching to read. 2020 might be a shit year so far, but some great books have been released. A Dark and Stormy Knight (Victorian Rebels #7) by Kerrigan Byrne 6/2 Historical Romance- Kerrigan Byrne is self-publishing Carlton Morley's book and I am so thankful. I don't think this series would have been complete without it. Dragon Unleashed (Fallen Empire #2) by Grace Draven 6/9 Fantasy Romance- I have been a long time Grace Continue Reading

Review: Phoenix Unbound by Grace Draven

September 24, 2018 by Angela 1 Comment

Phoenix Unbound by Grace Draven Fallen Empire #1 Fantasy Romance September 25, 2018 by Ace Favorite Quote: "Stay with me, Gilene," he whispered in her ear. "I can't," she murmured, still half asleep. "I will conquer all of the Empire to bring you back."   Reviewed by Angela This was probably my most anticipated book this year. If you were to ask me to make a list of my favorite fantasy romances of all time, Grace Draven would have four or five titles in my top ten. She Continue Reading

Review: Eidolon by Grace Draven

April 21, 2016 by Mandi 7 Comments

Eidolon by Grace Draven (Wraith Kings #2) Released: April 18, 2016 Fantasy Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Before I begin, let me stress that you must read book one, Radiance before Eidolon, or you will be lost in this world. If you have yet to read Radiance than you have failed in life, because it's amazing and romantic and a must read. No pressure. Eidolon picks up pretty much where Radiance leaves off. Brishen, a Kai who has greyish skin, odd eyes, fangs for teeth and Continue Reading

Review: Master of Crows by Grace Draven

November 19, 2014 by Mandi 3 Comments

Master of Crowd by Grace Draven Released: July 13, 2009 Fantasy Romance Amber Quill Press Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: "You have done an unwise thing, Martise of Asher," he said softly. "You've caught my interest." This book has been recommended by many (including Has and Angela - and someone on my blog who I can't remember, sorry!) I recently finished Dreamer's Pool by Juliet Marillier (and loved) so I was in the mood for another fantasy book. Let me warn and say - the first Continue Reading
