Last Strand by Jennifer EstepElemental Assassin #19Urban FantasyMarch 16, 2021 Self Published Review by Angela Favorite Quote: But this was the life I had built, the one I had chosen for myself, and I wouldn't have it any other way. So I returned to my book with a smile on my face, my knives tucked up my sleeves, and more peace in my heart than I'd felt in a long, long time. My name is Gin, and I kill people. Always and forever. This is it y'all, the last Gin Blanco adventure... at Continue Reading

Smexy’s March TBR

March 1, 2021 by Angela 9 Comments

Angela: Half of these books I've already read because it's been a hard couple of weeks and I needed comfort. It's also my birthday month and I expect my one-clicking to be out of control. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! An Unexpected Peril (Veronica Speedwell #6) by Deanna Raybourn 3/2 Historical Mystery- Yep, already read it. This was my first read of this year because I love Veronica and Stoker and I couldn't help myself. This was another great installment in one of my favorite series. Review to Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Reviews for books by Jennifer Estep and A.S. Fenichel

March 18, 2020 by Angela Leave a Comment

Crush the King by Jennifer EstepCrown of Shards #3FantasyMarch 17, 2020 by Harper VoyagerARC Favorite Quote- I had started this journey as a gladiator, and I was going to finish it as one. The finale to the Crown of Shards series was exactly what I hoped it would be. What began as a young, seemingly insignificant, woman witnessing the annihilation of her entire family line ends with a queen avenging their deaths and crushing her enemies. At her side are her friends, family, and consort Continue Reading

Smexy’s March TBR

March 2, 2020 by Angela 6 Comments

Angela- Remember last month when I said I had a gazillion books to read this month? I was totally serious. For some reason a crap ton of great books release every March (which also happens to be my birthday month) and every March I overload myself on ARCs I simply must have. Here are just a few of the books I'm most anticipating this month. House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City #1) by Sarah J Mass 3/3 Fantasy- As soon as I found out this author was releasing a book in a new series I had to Continue Reading

Excerpt: Sharpest Sting by Jennifer Estep & Giveaway!!

October 3, 2019 by Kini 12 Comments

As Gin Blanco, aka the assassin the Spider, I’m used to having a target on my back. But ever since I started investigating the secret society known as the Circle, that target seems bigger than ever. Still, I’m trying to relax and enjoy the events leading up to my friends’ wedding when I learn that an old enemy has returned to Ashland. And that’s the just beginning of my latest nightmare. Soon, I have Circle goons watching my every move, but I have no choice but to continue searching for a key Continue Reading

Smexy’s October TBR

October 2, 2019 by Angela 3 Comments

Angela: I actually have a few more, but by the time this posts I'll have already reviewed them. Look for reviews for The Library of the Unwritten, Aurora Blazing, and The Twisted Ones. They all release on 10/1 and were solid, well written reads. Sharpest Sting by Jennifer Estep 10/8- Ms. Estep is self- publishing her Gin Blanco, Elemental Assassins series now and I'm always afraid I'll miss the next release. This is book #18 and I'm eager to find out what Gin, Owen, the gang are up to now. Continue Reading

Top Ten August 12

August 9, 2019 by Kini 3 Comments

10 . No top ten from me would be complete without a picture of Kitty Scarlett 9. Beverly Hills 90210- It’s back. I was a devout 90210 fan. I loved Dylan from the beginning. I used to record the episodes on VHS and watch them again and again. I have mixed feelings about it being back without Luke Perry, but I watched anyway. Who watched? What did you think? 8. Three words- Bachelor In Paradise? Is anyone else watching this? I wanted to and then realized it is on two nights a week for two Continue Reading

Smexy’s June TBR

June 3, 2019 by Angela 1 Comment

Angela- There tons of good books releasing this month! My request button finger must have been on overdrive because I have a ridiculous amount of books on my ARC TBR list this month. Wolf Rain by Nalini Singh 06/04- I've been holding on to this one because it'll be a YEAR before the next release. But we finally get back to the SnowDancer Wolves and I am excited to dive in. Review to come. Give Up the Ghost by Jenn Burke 06/03- I enjoyed the first book in this series SO MUCH. Wes and Continue Reading
