Book Review: Unholy Trinity (Rebel Kings MC #6) by Garrett Leigh
Read my reviews of previous books in the Rebel Kings MC series: Devil’s Dance (#1) | Saint’s Song (#2) | Forgive Me Father (#3) | Love Thy Brother (#4) | Reluctant Renegade (#5) When the VP of the Rebel Kings MC started more actively pursuing a potential relationship with the sister of the President earlier in this series, I figured … Continue reading Book Review: Unholy Trinity (Rebel Kings MC #6) by Garrett Leigh
Book Review: DragonSeer (DragonKin #2) by S. Rodman
Read my review of the first book in the DragonKin series, DragonRider. As the middle installment of a trilogy, this book doesn’t necessarily need an inciting incident – the events of the first book set up the entire initial situation in which our heroes find themselves. With brand-new dragon eggs and in a self-imposed exile … Continue reading Book Review: DragonSeer (DragonKin #2) by S. Rodman
Book Review: Dominion (Triad #3) by Cari Z
Read my reviews of previous books in the Triad series: Alliance (#1) | Endurance (#2) In this conclusion to an excellent epic fantasy trilogy, Z once again pulls no punches when it comes to making things complicated for her characters on all fronts. After working so closely together in the previous book, with all the … Continue reading Book Review: Dominion (Triad #3) by Cari Z
Book Review: A Dream of Flame and Shadow (Flame & Shadow #1) by L. Eveland
I was immediately intrigued by this dark fantasy, especially with the added realization as I got further into the story that the brief glimpse I had of the human realm felt so much darker than the land of nightmares. Once I encountered the twist that the lord of nightmares needs some sort of help from … Continue reading Book Review: A Dream of Flame and Shadow (Flame & Shadow #1) by L. Eveland
Book Review: Endurance (Triad #2) by Cari Z
Read my review of the first book in the Triad series, Alliance. Though I may have felt like the romance arc didn’t get the attention it deserved in the first book of this trilogy, I was more than happy to suspend disbelief and go along with Symon, Deyvid, and Petur being happily in love now … Continue reading Book Review: Endurance (Triad #2) by Cari Z
Book Review: Alliance (Triad #1) by Cari Z
The openings of epic fantasy stories can often be either overwhelming or too spare in the details, but Z hits the perfect balance of worldbuilding and backstory in the first chapter without any sort of info dump. I got a good sense of Symon and his immediate circumstances enough to feel invested in his character … Continue reading Book Review: Alliance (Triad #1) by Cari Z
Book Review: All I Fear (All’s Fair #2) by Abrianna Denae
Read my review of the first book in the All's Fair series, All I Want. Though this is not always true, the found-family nature of some series means that the books are so interconnected that they cannot stand alone. While I think this novel could be read and enjoyed without the broader context of the … Continue reading Book Review: All I Fear (All’s Fair #2) by Abrianna Denae
Book Review: On the Double (The Renegades #3) by Cara Dee
Read my reviews of previous books in The Renegades series: Rogue Launch (#1) | Enemy Combatant (#2) Reece, River, and Shay Tenley (affectionately known as “TenShay”) are some of my favorite Dee characters across her expansive, connected universe. I’d have read this stand-alone series even without the promise of a book concentrating on this trio, … Continue reading Book Review: On the Double (The Renegades #3) by Cara Dee
Book Review: Teach Me to Sin (Water, Air, Earth, Fire #4) by Riley Nash
I binge-read the first three books (and supplementary content) in this series in a single weekend, put the release date for the final book on my calendar, and anxiously counted down the days. Then, because I’m a lucky brat, the author was kind enough to send me an advanced copy! Which, of course, I promptly … Continue reading Book Review: Teach Me to Sin (Water, Air, Earth, Fire #4) by Riley Nash
Book Review: Lessons in Chemistry by Colette Davison
I was warned a few times before I was offered an advanced copy of this book that this was not the typical “MMM” story like most of those I’d read previously in the genre. Since I am all about unexpected stories, especially those that push at genre tropes, I still jumped at the chance to … Continue reading Book Review: Lessons in Chemistry by Colette Davison
Book Review: Reactant (Chain Reaction #2) by Aurora Crane
Read my review of the first book in the Chain Reaction series, Catalyst. This book picks up immediately after the first and dives back into the intricate plotting and relationship development that I already loved about this series. This is another long installment, but between all the layers of story, it never feels slow. Crane … Continue reading Book Review: Reactant (Chain Reaction #2) by Aurora Crane
Book Review: Bloodlines by A.E. Lister
Vampires are still my first love in the urban fantasy and paranormal romance genres, but I’m to the point of being so picky about how they’re portrayed that I was originally hesitant to volunteer to read an advanced copy of this book. However, Lister does an excellent job leaning into the vampire tropes that are … Continue reading Book Review: Bloodlines by A.E. Lister
Book Review: Luck of the Devil (Reckless Damned #4) by Lark Taylor
Read my reviews of previous books in the Reckless Damned series: Devil’s Mark (#1) | Devil May Care (#2) | Deal With the Devil (#3) Though this review is being posted long after the book launched, that’s because I’m fighting a backlog of reviews, not because I didn’t immediately dive into this series finale the day it was … Continue reading Book Review: Luck of the Devil (Reckless Damned #4) by Lark Taylor
Book Review: An Embrace to Hearten Me (Magi Accounts #3.5) by Michele Notaro

Book Review: DragonRider (DragonKin #1) by S. Rodman
Rodman hooked me on this urban fantasy setting within the first pages of the book, using quick, subtle details to set up the broad scope of the secret fantasy elements without resorting to direct explanation. Once Kirby arrived at the castle and learned the true reason for his presence, I knew I was in for … Continue reading Book Review: DragonRider (DragonKin #1) by S. Rodman
Book Review: A Gentle Way to Love (Ways to Love #1) by Abrianna Denae
I joke that I read polyamory romances because you get more relationships for the price of one, but the reality is that I truly enjoy the intricacies that can develop out of the traditional storyline arc when three (or more) people are involved. The general premise of this book was entirely novel to me, as … Continue reading Book Review: A Gentle Way to Love (Ways to Love #1) by Abrianna Denae
Book Review: The Magic That Binds (Haelan #1) by A.J. Sherwood
Sherwood launches an imaginative and immersive urban fantasy world with this series opener featuring a delightful mix of primary and secondary characters. I was immediately intrigued by the mystery of how Dag’s “magic” isn’t allowed in this setting, especially when he is blatantly on the side of good, but I was also excited for him … Continue reading Book Review: The Magic That Binds (Haelan #1) by A.J. Sherwood
Book Review: Split Rock Ranch Series by Rory Maxwell
This post includes reviews of the following books in the Split Rock Ranch series: Something Undeniable (#1) | Something Unexpected (#2) Something Undeniable (Split Rock Ranch Book 1) I’ve been shying away from age-gap romance stories lately, but this new author has been on my radar, and I didn’t mind diving into this one when … Continue reading Book Review: Split Rock Ranch Series by Rory Maxwell
