Mini Reviews- Cold Eternity by S.A. Barnes and Who Will Remember by C. S. Harris

April 17, 2025 by Angela Leave a Comment

Cold Eternity by S.A. BarnesScience Fiction/HorrorApril 8, 2025 by Tor Nightfire Last year I received this author's second book for review and waited FOREVER to read it, then finally picked it up at the end of the year when I was in a bit of a book slump. I was so mad at myself for waiting so long. I immediately went to my Libby app to see what else was available by S.A. Barnes. So, when this book came up for review, I quickly hit that request button. All three of the books I've read Continue Reading

April 2, 2025 by Angela Leave a Comment

Hunger in His Blood by Zoey DravenBrides of the Kylorr #3Fantasy/Science Fiction RomanceApril 1, 2025- Self PublishedARC Review by Angela Look, I'm always, ALWAYS up for a new Zoey Draven book, but add in a rejected mate, surprise pregnancy storyline with angst, and lots of groveling by the MMC when he realizes he messed up and made the mistake of his life? Oh, hell yeah. And I'm not even a fan of the surprise baby trope. This book features Kaldur of House Kaalium, High Lord of Continue Reading

Review: Ghost Station by S.A. Barnes

December 5, 2024 by Angela Leave a Comment

Ghost Station by S.A. BarnesScience Fiction/HorrorApril 9, 2024- Tor NightfireARC Review by Angela I'm not sure why I waited so long to read this book, maybe when I first picked it up I wasn't in the mood for dark, atmospheric, grim science fiction? Not quite sure. I do know that once I finally opened it for a second time the other day, I read it straight through to the end in one sitting. Ghost Station is told from the POV of Dr. Ophelia Bray, a psychologist with a complicated Continue Reading

June 13, 2024 by Angela 1 Comment

Something that has been done by every princess of the Summer Court every hundred years for as long as anyone can remember. But Continue Reading

Review: Only Hard Problems by Jennifer Estep

February 21, 2024 by Angela 1 Comment

Only Hard Problems by Jennifer EstepGalactic Bonds #3Science Fiction RomanceFebruary 20, 2024- Self-PublishedARC Review by Angela I was so excited when Jennifer Estep announced plans to release a novella from Zane Zimmer's POV. After the events in book two, I suspected she might and even called it in my review. Zane Zimmer, of House Zimmer, is still reeling from the news that Vesper Quill is his sister. With the escape of Vesper and Kyrion Caldaren, he's now the leader of the Continue Reading

Angela’s KU Update!

November 10, 2023 by Angela 1 Comment

I saw a rec for this series on Twitter (I refuse to call it X) and since I'm always on the lookout for new, science fiction/PNR I hit that read now button. And I then gobbled up the whole series in a couple of days. Yes, these are orc romances, but they aren't the usual alpha male, "Oh, no I've been abducted by the enemy", dubious consent orc romances. These are charming love stories, with caring and protective orc/human pairings. Each couple faces certain hardships they have to Continue Reading
