Melanie: I’m just going to be upfront - this deep-dive will probably be the longest one yet because once again, SO MUCH happens in this book but also, it’s Kiss of Snow (!!!) and neither Melinda nor I have made any secret of the fact that we absolutely adore this book. That’s not to say we’re ignorant about all of the many (MANY) consent issues found within but it’s a good thing we decided to read this book at the beginning of the month because we have a LOT to say. (Also, who’re we kidding, Continue Reading
Smexy Group Review: Archangel’s Light by Nalini Singh
Archangel's Light by Nalini SinghGuild Hunter #14Paranormal Romance10/26/2021 by BerkleyARC Review by Angela, Melinda, and Melanie Angela: I remember a couple of years ago when Bluebell and Sparkle started having their spats and disagreements and there seemed to be something afoot with their relationship. Like this author was setting something up for later in the series for them to have this big, wonderful romance and I can tell you right now I was HERE FOR IT. Every review after that Continue Reading
Review: City of Thorns by C.N. Crawford
City of Thorns by C.N. CrawfordThe Demon Queen Trials #1Vampire Romance/PNRAugust 13, 2021 Self Published Review by Jen City of Thorns by C.N. Crawford plays in my reading sweet spot. I’m a big fan of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Blood and Ash, Red Queen, and the Throne of Glass series. The first fantasy series I fell in love with was The Fever Series. I’m still very much Team Jericho Barrons. Swoon.... This book is the first one in the Demon Queen Trials series. Rowen is a very Continue Reading
Review: Not Your Average Hot Guy by Gwenda Bond
Not Your Average Hot Guy by Gwenda Bond Paranormal Romance October 5, 2021 by St. Martin's Griffin Reviewed by Kate If a description for a book tells me the book is hilarious, I generally hope that I actually laugh while reading it. Unfortunately, that was not the case for Not Your Average Hot Guy. I went into it expecting a fun romantic comedy (not unfairly, in my opinion, since the description mentions that it’s a romantic comedy twice) but I do not think it lived up to that Continue Reading
The Psy/Changeling Channel: Play of Passion
Melanie: Once again, I had very little memory of this book except for my original GR review letting me know I loved it the first time I read it, which was over two years ago. I wasn’t sure whether the book would hold up - after all, so much has changed in the past two years - but, despite a lot of pretty glaring consent issues that started right from chapter one, I found myself loving the book, loving Indigo, and absolutely adoring Drew. Melinda and I talked a lot about the fact that we both Continue Reading
Review: The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling
The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling Contemporary Paranormal Romance September 28, 2021 by Avon Reviewed by Kate When I was mentally writing this review, I planned on opening with some comment about how I've read so many of Rachel Hawkins' books, and I loved them all. When I fact-checked this (thank goodness for Goodreads, despite its many flaws), I found that was not, in fact, the case. I've read maybe half of her YA, and I apparently did not really enjoy Hex Hall, her debut novel (Kate in the early Continue Reading
Melinda’s Mini-Reviews: Breaking Badger by Shelly Laurenston and With You Forever by Chloe Liese
Breaking Badger by Shelly LaurenstonHoney Badger Chronicles #4Paranormal RomanceAugust 31, 2021KensingtonARC Breaking Badger is the 4th in Shelly Laurenston’s Honey Badger series that I absolutely have loved. They’ve all been books that make me literally laugh out loud to the point that I can’t listen to these books in public because I always get awkward stares. Laurenston’s humor is definitely hit or miss, if you look up her reviews they are filled with either ‘what the hell is this’ or Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- The Devil You Know by Kit Rocha and Breaking Badger by Shelly Laurenston
The Devil You Know by Kit RochaMercenary Librarians #2Fantasy/DystopiaAugust 31, 2021, by Tor BooksARC Being a Kit Rocha fangirl, I'm super excited for pretty much any new release by this author duo. The Devil You Know is the second book in the Mercenary Librarians series, and focuses on Maya and Gray. Maya's brain is a weapon, she was trained to carry data, and anything she has seen, heard, read, and experienced is stored in her memory and she literally can not forget. She is also Continue Reading
The Psy/Changeling Channel: Bonds of Justice
Melanie: I was a little worried when I started this book because I had very little recollection of it other than Goodreads telling me I had given it a 5 star on my initial reading of this book. I’m super thrilled to say that upon rereading, this book totally holds up. Despite the fact that neither Max Shannon nor Sophia Russo are changelings and I tend to gravitate more towards the pairings where at least one of the MCs is a changeling, this book still worked for me, maybe partially because of Continue Reading
Angela’s Minis- KU Reading Update
Rogue Ghosts & Other Miscreants (The Guild Codex: Warped Book 3) by Annette Marie and Rob Jacobsen- Another great book in this world. The Guild Codex; Warped features Kit and his partner, Lienna, and this time they are put on a top-secret kidnapping case by their captain. And it's to track down the criminal known as The Ghost, aka the Crystal Druid, aka Zak. I feel like this is a pivotal book in this series and this world. Readers not only get to see Kit and Lienna, but Zak plays a huge Continue Reading
