The House at Watch Hill by Karen Marie MoningThe Watch Hill Trilogy #1Urban Fantasy RomanceOctober 1, 2024- William Morrow Review by Angela As soon as I found out this author was releasing a new series, I added it to my TBR list. Karen Marie Moning is an author I've loved, from her old school romances to her more urban fantasy like Fever series. And while I kind of quit the Fever series as it evolved from a MacKayla to a Dani storyline (the last book I read in the series was Iced), Continue Reading
Review: A Novel Love Story by Ashley Poston
A Novel Love Story by Ashley PostonContemporary Romance/Magical Realism/Women's FictionJune 25, 2024- BerkleyARC Review by Angela I went into A Novel Love Story with an open mind, as I do with any Ashley Poston novel. This author's books are so very unique, I'm not even sure how to categorize them when I'm writing my reviews. So far she's tackled main protagonists who can see the dead (and fall in love with them), slips back and forth in time, and now a book about getting stranded in Continue Reading

Review: The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston
The Seven Year Slip by Ashley PostonContemporary/Magical RealismJune 27, 2023, by BerkleyARC Review by Angela This book surprised me in all the best ways. I adored The Dead Romantics, released last year, but I think I might just love this book a little bit more. As with the Dead Romantics, this is another grief book, set in a magical apartment in the modern day, with seven-year slips in time. This is also a romance, with a lovely developing relationship between a grieving book Continue Reading
Review: The Minuscule Mansion of Myra Malone by Audrey Burges
The Minuscule Mansion of Myra MaloneFantasy/Magical Realism1/24/2023 by BerkleyARC Review by Angela I had no idea what to expect when I requested this book for review. All I knew was that the blurb sounded intriguing and maybe a bit weird, and I liked the cover. But if anyone can tell by my reading choices last year, I'm all in on weird, intriguing PNR/Fantasy reads. Blurb: A woman learns to expand the boundaries of her small world and let love inside it in this sparkling and Continue Reading
Review: Rainshadow Road by Lisa Kleypas
Rainshadow Road by Lisa Kleypas Contemporary Romance (with magical element) February 28, 2012 St. Martin’s Reviewed by Mandi I’m relatively new to Lisa Kleypas contemporaries. I’m a huge fan of her historicals and decided to try Smooth Talking Stranger this year on audio. I ended up loving it, and still plan to read the other two in that series. But I didn’t want to let this new contemporary pass me by. I was hesitant though for one main reason – magic. I don’t like magic in my Continue Reading
