Blooded Blade by J.C. DanielsThe Colbana Files #8Urban Fantasy12/5/2022- Self PublishedPurchased Review by Angela So I was innocently scrolling through Amazon, compiling books for my new release post, when this book suddenly appeared. And my eyes about popped out of my head. I'd waited five long years for another Kit Colbana adventure and suddenly here it was. Then I realized I didn't remember all of the specifics of the last several books, especially where book 6 (the last book Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- Duke Most Wicked by Lenora Bell and The Heart’s Blood Arrow by Kai Butler

December 7, 2022 by Angela Leave a Comment

Duke Most Wicked by Lenora BellWallflowers vs. Rogues #3Historical Romance09/27/22 by AvonARC For some reason, every book in this series has been a slow read for me. Maybe it's the low angst, maybe it's the pacing... I'm not quite sure. It took me a month and a half to finally dig in and finish reading. This is the story of the Duke of Westbury and his sister's music teacher, Viola Beaton. Westbury is rogue and a scoundrel and a wastrel. He pretty much gambles, drinks, and Continue Reading

Soul Taken by Patricia BriggsMercy Thompson #13Urban FantasyAugust 23, 2022 by AceARC Review by Iby Mercy Thompson fans - rejoice! We have a new installment to dig into. In this thirteenth book in the series, the vampire Wulfe is missing - which is concerning, as his most recent past-time has included stalking Mercy. When he disappears, the mistress of the seethe informs Mercy that the pack must produce Wulfe, or their alliance would be in jeopardy. Besides Wulfe disappearing, Mercy Continue Reading

Review: Ruby Fever (Hidden Legacy #6) by Ilona Andrews

August 23, 2022 by Angela 2 Comments

Ruby Fever by Ilona AndrewsHidden Legacy #6Urban Fantasy RomanceAugust 23, 2022, by AvonARC Review by Angela Anyone who knows me knows I am an Ilona Andrews fangirl. I will read anything they write. This husband and wife writing duo is at the very tip-top of my fantasy genre pyramid and I can't get enough. Ruby Fever, Hidden Legacy #6, was my most anticipated book of 2022. So when it hit my Kindle I pushed everything aside and sat down to read, starting right after work and staying up Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher and A Shattered Silver Crown by Kai Butler

July 28, 2022 by Angela 1 Comment

What Moves the Dead by T. KingfisherHorror/FantasyJuly 12, 2022 by Tor NightfireARC T. Kingfisher is known for fantasy and more recently, romantic fantasy, but I believe her horror novels and novellas to be some of her best work. This retelling of Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher is creepy and chilling and well done. Our narrator for this story is retired Lieutenant Alex Easton, who is summoned to the Usher estate by their childhood friend Roderick, on behalf of his dying sister Continue Reading

Review: Highway to Hail by Sierra Dean

April 27, 2022 by Angela 1 Comment

Highway to Hail by Sierra DeanRainchaser #3Urban FantasyApril 26, 2022- Self-publishedARC Review by Angela This was one of my most anticipated releases this year. The previous installment, Driving Rain, came out in 2017 and left off on a HUGE cliffhanger. So for five years, I've kept my fingers crossed that this author would release another book in this series and put me out of my misery. And now it's finally here! I was kind of worried that with the wait in between releases I would Continue Reading

Now that Lucas is officially back from the dead Secret has two husbands and if the sessions at their counselor are any Continue Reading

Angela’s Minis- KU Reading Update

August 12, 2021 by Angela 1 Comment

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
