I’ve read and/or listened to several books in recent weeks and thought a quick round up would be perfect. Two of these are WAY hyped and absolutely delivered for me. Two are sports romances that I adored, and one is an unfortunate DNF. Here we go… Hyped and Loved A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas was a super A+ awesome read. This entire series is all over TikTok and I feel like I’ve found my tribe. The ACOTAR books started as fun, adventurous YA reads with romance, but now have Continue Reading

Review: Up From the Grave by Jeaniene Frost
Up From the Grave by Jeaniene Frost (Night Huntress #7) Released: January 28, 2014 Urban Fantasy Avon Reviewed by Mandi The final Cat & Bones book – I’m sad this is the end because I do love these characters, but to be honest the past couple books have only been okay for me. I still remember starting this series and thinking how incredible the world and these characters are. I’m not going to go into a lot of detail with this book but I do have a few thoughts. This book starts Continue Reading
Review: Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost
Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost (Night Prince #2) March 26, 2013 Paranormal Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “I forgive you, but only because you said please.” Smartass I thought. Then I groaned at the instant chorus of “Please!” mixed with cries for release from Vlad’s prisoners. No wonder he got so sick of the world. “I’m only merciful to one person a day,” he threw over his shoulder. “As the saying goes, today isn’t your day and tomorrow doesn’t look good, Continue Reading

Review: Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost
Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost (Night Prince #1) June 26, 2012 Paranormal Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi I’m a big fan of Jeaniene Frost’s books. Her Night Huntress series rocks my world – hello – it’s Bones, and he is just one of the best alpha heroes out there. But I will say, the past few Bones and Cat books haven’t been my favorites in the series. So when I sat down with Once Burned, the first in her new Night Prince spin-off series featuring Vlad (currently two books are Continue Reading
