From the Grave by Kresley Cole

From the Grave by Kresley ColeYA Urban FantasyApril 18, 2023Valkyrie Press  Review by Jen I need to set this up for you. From the Grave by Kresley Cole is the final book in the Arcana Chronicles series. It’s book seven. This series was, for YEARS, my all-time favorite YA read. I was the BIGGEST FAN EVER. Every book had a major cliffhanger and I waited anxiously for the next one to drop. Book six had an especially huge ending and I was dying for book seven. I love the author and Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday

May 13, 2018 by Mandi Leave a Comment

Retro Smex Scene Sunday! Can we call a book published in 2007, retro? Probably an overkill. But I feel like the Immortals After Dark series started so long ago and made such an impact in my paranormal reading. These books made me actually laugh! (Not just "lol"). They are witty, smart, violent and super sexy. Guys - I read this book before I owned a Kindle. WAS THERE SUCH A TIME??? Which means, I have to type out this scene by hand. #effort. This month, Ana Coqui is hosting #RomBkLove (both Continue Reading

Smex Scene Sunday

April 3, 2016 by Mandi 1 Comment

Hero: Maksimilian Sevastyan. Billionaire.  Russian mafia boss. Alpha. Demanding. Controlling. In need of an.....escort for the  night. Heroine: Catarina Marín. In hiding and in need of money. Her first escort client? See above. Going to put the scene under a spoiler tag because it's explicit.   [spoiler]“I’m not going to fuck you on the couch again.” “Then fuck me against the wall! Please, please, please.” “Damn it, Katya,” he grated, digging in his pocket to snag another Continue Reading

Review: Shadow’s Claim by Kresley Cole

November 28, 2012 by Mandi 8 Comments

Shadow’s Claim by Kresley Cole (The Dacians: Realm of Blood and Mist #1) November 27, 2012 Paranormal Romance Pocket Reviewed by Mandi This book starts a spin-off series from Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark series. The Dacians are briefly introduced to us in Lothaire, and since I love that series, I was eager to read this book. The world building is quite confusing early on in this book but I’ll set up the hero and heroine for you. Trehan Daciano is an immortal Vampire Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–October 26th

October 26, 2012 by Mandi 14 Comments

  10. I want to hang out with Drunk Peggy. (oh wait, I am drunk peggy. Kidding. not really.)   9. In case you missed it, JR Ward has not only given us an excerpt for Qhuay aka Lover at Last but also the back cover copy. A few notes – I would like to suck on that dinner mint. *ahem* “Blay, after years of unrequited love, has moved on from his feelings for Qhuinn.” ~ this book is going to kill me, isn’t?   8. Kresley Cole has posted the first five chapters of Shadow’s Claim. Continue Reading

Review: Poison Princess by Kresley Cole

September 28, 2012 by Tori 12 Comments

Poison Princess (Arcana Chronicles #1) by Kresley Cole YA Paranormal Releases: October 2, 2012 Simon & Schuster Reviewed by Tori Poison Princess is Kresley Cole’s debut into Young Adult. An interesting premise of a world pushed into an apocalypse (referred to as the Flash) and a young girl’s realization that her “hallucinations” are actually visions of the future and she is part of prophecy dating back to the beginning of time. Very Hunger Games oriented, the first chapter opens to Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–July 27th

July 27, 2012 by Mandi 36 Comments

10. Top Ten might look a little different today. I can’t keep going willy nilly with the copy and pasting of images. No matter how hairy the moobs are! I can’t just throw images onto this post. They are not my images to share. (read more here). BUT – I can still link to hairy moobs. And, (I think) I can still post movie/tv stills (OMG Matt Bomer above! Go HERE to see much more), movie posters, and sites like US Magazine that has a ‘share’ button, I may use those images. So there will be Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten–July 13th

July 13, 2012 by Mandi 59 Comments

10. It’s Friday the 13th. Have you got your freak on yet today? Is that what we are suppose to do when it is Friday the 13th? Or am I mistaken?   9. Kresley Cole has announced her next book in her Immortals After Dark series will be titled, Macrieve and the hero will be Uilleam. Did you have the same reaction as me, which was…WHO? Thankfully Cole has a list of characters on her site (I love when authors do this!). Per her site: Uilleam and Munro: Twin Lykae warriors, AKA: Hot Continue Reading
