Altered by Marnee Blake Released: December 8, 2015 Paranormal Romance Entangled Reviewed by Mandi The premise of this book really drew me in. The heroine wakes up, and the entire small town she lives in is dead. (Okay, that's not awesome but I do like end of the world type scenarios). The heroine somehow survives and the hero who is just visiting along with some other friends make it. They gain superpowers (well water was infected) and save the world. Not really, but super-hero romance Continue Reading

Review: Bite the Bullet by Angela Louise McGurk
Bite the Bullet by Angela Louise McGurk (Vampire Cohorts #1) Urban Fantasy Released: December 12, 2015 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Bite the Bullet is a pretty good start to a new urban fantasy series. I say pretty good because the romance was too inconsistent for me, but let me set-up the story first. Darcy is just a normal human, until she is changed into a vampire without her consent. She wakes up thinking it was all a dream - until she opens her living room curtains and almost Continue Reading

Joint Review: Land of the Beautiful Dead by R. Lee Smith
Mandi is reviewing this with author Lexxi Callahan, who is a lover of romance books and a great person to chat with.

Lee Smith books - Last Hour of Gann, Heat and now Land of the Beautiful Dead. In each book, she gives us a non-human hero and a human heroine, set with extremely complicated circumstances, and gives us a HEA that challenges us, and makes you fall in love Continue Reading
