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
The Psy/Changeling Channel: Blaze of Memory
Melanie: Well, this book was a ride…the kind of ride I actually wanted to get off of long before it ended. It’s a little strange to me that in the same month that we delved into some of the Psy/Changeling novellas, we also read a book that arguably could and maybe should have been a novella. When Melinda and I were messaging back and forth during the course of reading this book, she made a comment that really resonated. “Is boring worse than asshole,” she pondered. I’m hoping that over the Continue Reading
Review: Last Guard (Psy-Changeling Trinity #5) by Nalini Singh
Last Guard by Nalini SinghParanormal RomanceJuly 20, 2021, by BerkleyARCReview by Melanie and Melinda Melinda: We've been so excited for this book - and we're going to try to do this review without spoilers! Going into this book right away we know we’re getting a ton of new aspects in the Psy/Changing world because we’ve not only rarely seen much of the Mercant family, we’ve never seen the Rao family before. We’ve also never seen the Anchor designation in so much detail, and then on top of Continue Reading
Backlist Review: You First by J.C. Lillis
You First by J.C. LillisLGBT Contemporary PNRMay 23rd, 2019 - Self-PublishedPurchased Reviewer: Melinda You First by J.C. Lillis is not exactly a genre Romance in my opinion because it doesn’t exactly have the typical HEA. But I still really enjoyed and recommend this book but I always want readers to know what they’re getting into! The blurb uses the word bittersweet and I think there isn’t a more perfect word to describe both the romance and the book. Levon Ludlow is a D-level Continue Reading
The Psy/Changeling Channel: Branded by Fire
Melinda: We’re excited to be back and once again have a new dynamic to examine with two alpha changelings in a mated pair with Mercy and Riley. But first we need to give a content warning for suicide of secondary characters. We don't actually touch on that in our deep dive, but this book does have that in the plot so if that bothers you please take care of yourself and skip either all of this book or at least those parts. So we start out with Mercy, immediately being extremely horny and I Continue Reading
