Hold Me Close by Megan Hart Released: November 24, 2015 Dark Erotic Mira Reviewed by Mandi This book hurt. I mean, it was amazing and I loved it, but it made my insides hurt. It made me feel all the things, as only Megan Hart can do. A big thank you to Pamela, who texted me and said - omg read this book - and at that time I didn't even know there was a new Megan Hart book out. She warned me it was a tough read. I needed someone to hold me close as I read it. This book tells the story Continue Reading

March 17, 2010 by Mandi 11 Comments

Shift by Rachel Vincent March 1, 2010 Urban Fantasy Paperback, 441 Pages Mira Reviewed by Amanda I've never read anything by Rachel Vincent before but I have heard great things about her writing and her Faythe Saunders series. Its a series I've always wanted to pick up but with the ever growing TBR pile that I have it's another series that I have yet to get to. It might seem odd then to start the series at book 5, but the books can be read as a stand alones so you don't need to have Continue Reading
