Review: MAGIC GIFTS by Ilona Andrews
This is a fun filler novella that takes place during Ilona Andrews' novel Gunmetal Magic. Because so much urban fantasy/paranormal romance involves a burgeoning romantic relationship between the main characters, it's always a treat to stop by and visit Kate and Curran. Especially when they are trying to do cute couple stuff, which always seem to … Continue reading Review: MAGIC GIFTS by Ilona Andrews
Review: FROST BURN by K.T. Munson and Nichelle Rae
DISCLAIMER: I received a free ebook copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review. It's really easy to make assumptions about this book from the artwork and back cover blurb.

Munson and Nichelle Rae

Review: A CHOICE OF FUTURES (Star Trek Enterprise: Rise of the Federation #1) by Christopher L. Bennett
Though Star Trek Enterprise is not my favorite of the television series, I found myself easily sucked into these tales that follow the on-screen adventures.

(Star Trek Enterprise is … Continue reading Review: A CHOICE OF FUTURES (Star Trek Enterprise: Rise of the Federation #1) by Christopher L. Bennett
Review: BREAK THROUGH THE ICE by Rachell Nichole
Disclaimer: The author is a friend of mine. However, I purchased this ebook for full price. This was a well-written novella that I found particularly humorous to read as an urban fantasy author myself.

Review: NOTES OF TEMPTATION by Rebecca Halsey
Disclaimer: I am friends with the author. However, I purchased my copy of the book for full price. Notes of Temptation is a mixed book: part romance, part historical drama, part urban fantasy, and all fun.
