Review: Tower of Thorns by Juliet Marillier
Tower of Thorns by Juliet Marillier (Blackthorn & Grim #2) Fantasy Released: November 3, 2015 Roc Reviewed by Mandi The second book in the Blackthorn and Grim series (see the first review here), and I am falling even more in love with these two.

Review: Falling For Danger by Chanel Cleeton
Falling for Danger by Chanel Cleeton (Capitol Confessions #3) Released: September 15, 2015 Contemporary Romance Penguin Intermix Reviewed by Mandi Overall, I've enjoyed this series.
