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.

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.

First up- here’s your warning, each book ends on a cliffhanger. Big cliffhangers. BUT, the first three books Continue Reading
