Apparently, today is December 1. The year is almost gone. Sounds fake, but okay. My highlights from last month included running away to the beach for a writing weekend with friends I haven't seen in way too long, finishing revisions to Earth and Water, and having a few writers friends look at the outline to … Continue reading November Wrap-Up & December Goals

Book Review: Praised (Trophy Doms Social Club #3) by Kate Hawthorne
Read my reviews of previous books in the Trophy Doms Social Club series: Humbled (#1) | Edged (#2) Flynn may fit all the characteristics for being a card-carrying member of the Trophy Doms Social Club, but one thing I love about this series is how each member of this group of friends is still entirely unique. And … Continue reading Book Review: Praised (Trophy Doms Social Club #3) by Kate Hawthorne
Book Review: The Skeptic (Lost Boys #1) by Kelly Fox
Read my review of the prequel to the Lost Boys series, The Thief. This book easily works as a stand-alone, but I’ve now seen Beckett in two previous works by Fox (the finale of her Wild Heart Ranch series and the prequel to this series) and already knew I was intrigued by this character. I’m … Continue reading Book Review: The Skeptic (Lost Boys #1) by Kelly Fox

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

My first M/M paranormal romance will be available on January 23, 2024, to read in ebook, paperback, and Kindle Unlimited. Natasha Snow Design did an amazing job … Continue reading October Wrap-Up & November Goals
Book Review: The Thief (Lost Boys #0.5) by Kelly Fox
To borrow a phrase from this novella, you won’t want to miss this “quick but meaningful” introduction to Fox’s next series. Most novellas that act as this sort of prelude leave me both overwhelmed by introductions to secondary characters and underwhelmed by the story itself. Proving once again why Fox is one of my favorite … Continue reading Book Review: The Thief (Lost Boys #0.5) by Kelly Fox

Book Review: An Oath and a Promise (Riehse Eshan #4) by Adelaide Blaike
Read my reviews of previous books in the Riehse Eshan series: A Knife and a Blade (#1) | A Whisper and a Breath (#2) | A Shadow and a Storm (#3) I first found this series in a bit of a sweet spot, soon after the third book was released. That meant I got to binge-read everything available … Continue reading Book Review: An Oath and a Promise (Riehse Eshan #4) by Adelaide Blaike
Book Review: Gateway Catastrophe (Ghostly Guardians #4) by Louisa Masters
Read my reviews of previous books in the Ghostly Guardians series: Spirited Situation (#1) | Vortex Conundrum (#2) | Conduit Crisis (#3) Since this book is the conclusion to the overarching storyline of the series, Masters has set pretty high expectations for readers regarding both the urban fantasy and romance elements. I know without a doubt that fans … Continue reading Book Review: Gateway Catastrophe (Ghostly Guardians #4) by Louisa Masters
Book Review: Light From the Grave by Sara Dobie Bauer
As a reviewer who occasionally reads and reviews her friends’ books, this can result in the peculiar scenario of writing about how much I loved a story that evolved from the grief experienced by a person I care for. Though there is a romance through-line to this book, the true themes involve how the two … Continue reading Book Review: Light From the Grave by Sara Dobie Bauer
Book Review: Recalling My Demon (Possessive Love) by Colette Davison
Read my review of another book in the Possessive Love collection, My Saintly Demon by R.M. Neill. The idea of an ex-priest explaining kink to a demon should be absurd. As an author, Davison is exactly the blend of spicy and sweet necessary to make it adorable instead. The story in this book is the … Continue reading Book Review: Recalling My Demon (Possessive Love) by Colette Davison
Con Report: Indies Invade Philly 2023
I've never considered myself a "super fan" of anything. Even with my TARDIS and LEGO collections, I'm an average fan of the television show Doctor Who and I don't keep the boxes that the LEGO come in (considered blasphemy by hardcore builders). But two years ago, I discovered a certain author, binge-read the majority of … Continue reading Con Report: Indies Invade Philly 2023
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: Blue Skies by Marie Sinclair
On the surface, the two heroes of this book have little in common. Though neither of them has ever had a true long-term relationship, that is more a result of facets of their characterization: Greg’s asexuality and Holden hiding his sexual orientation for so much of his life. The theme that ties them together is … Continue reading Book Review: Blue Skies by Marie Sinclair
