Book Review: Fine Line (Irons and Works: Key Largo #10) by E.M. Lindsey

Book Review: Speak and Obey (Virtuous Sinners) by Ki Brightly & M.D. Gregory

Read my review of another book in the Virtuous Sinners series, Day of Judgment by Briar Kearney & Aurora Crane. I have enjoyed “psychopaths finding their person and falling in their version of love” books by a few others authors, but in all of those cases, it was a person without empathy connecting in theirContinue reading “Book Review: Speak and Obey (Virtuous Sinners) by Ki Brightly & M.D. Gregory”

Book Review: Lightning Born (Monsters & Mayhem) by Sam Burns

Sometimes a book can be well-written from a technical standpoint, and follow the themes of the concept, but still be difficult to connect with on an emotional level. I found myself thoroughly invested in the dramatic opening, which presented a ton of questions and was made even creepier by my knowledge of the source material.Continue reading “Book Review: Lightning Born (Monsters & Mayhem) by Sam Burns”

Book Review: Wildfire (In Vino Veritas) by Garrett Leigh

Read my reviews of the previous series set in the same world, Vino & Veritas. Since Leigh wrote one of my favorite books of the previous series set in this world, I immediately started with hers to revisit my favorite bar in Vermont. The heroes from the earlier book are strong secondary characters here, but thisContinue reading “Book Review: Wildfire (In Vino Veritas) by Garrett Leigh”

Book Spotlight: The Dragon Eater (Tharassas Cycle #1) by J. Scott Coatsworth

About the Book Raven’s a thief who just swallowed a dragon. A small one, sure, but now his arms are growing scales, the local wildlife is acting up, and his snarky AI familiar is no help whatsoever. Raven’s best friend Aik is a guardsman carrying a torch for the thief. A pickpocket and a guard?Continue reading “Book Spotlight: The Dragon Eater (Tharassas Cycle #1) by J. Scott Coatsworth”

Book Review: Day of Judgment (Virtuous Sinners) by Briar Kearney & Aurora Crane

The surface-level tropes were what originally attracted me to this book, but the deeper story and connections that developed between the characters drew me in completely. Even though it begins with a married couple in a long-term established dynamic, I found myself immediately invested in the external plot, which is much more than Justin takingContinue reading “Book Review: Day of Judgment (Virtuous Sinners) by Briar Kearney & Aurora Crane”

Book Review: The Goblin Twins by Kit Barrie

This epic fantasy with a touch of romance fulfilled at least 90 percent of my expectations, and I’m pretty sure that the only reason it didn’t max out is that it’s a debut novel. This is not an insult—Barrie may still have room to grow, but she avoids so many of the issues that IContinue reading “Book Review: The Goblin Twins by Kit Barrie”

Book Review: Necessary Space by Kate Hawthorne

Hawthorne is one of my must-buy authors because she writes compelling romances that are more than just a collection of tropes. Sure, it’s easy to describe this book as a “kinky age-gap romance,” but Hendrix and Miles are more than their ages and their relationship is about far more than kink. That being said, IContinue reading “Book Review: Necessary Space by Kate Hawthorne”

Book Review: Fate of the Moon by Sara Dobie Bauer

For readers who have not read “omegaverse” fiction before, this book is a well-crafted introduction to this intriguing subgenre. Bauer provides the reader with a brief but excellent primer on the intricacies of this world (werewolves, in this case) couched in the necessary description of Shay’s immediate circumstances. While not all takes on this typeContinue reading “Book Review: Fate of the Moon by Sara Dobie Bauer”
