Read my review of the first book in the Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees series: The Trouble With Trying to Date a Murderer Before this book, I’d read the first installments in three separate series by Jodi Payne. I loved them all so much, that I literally couldn’t have picked what I wanted her to … Continue reading Book Review: The Trouble With Trying to Save an Assassin (Murder Sprees & Mute Decrees #2) by Jennifer Cody
Book Review: Unraveling the Threads of Fate by Alice Winters
This assumption is on me, but when I read the back cover description of this book, I assumed the main characters would be the action hero sort. Military, spies, etc. Imagine my surprise when, instead, Alex is a high school English teacher, and Bishop works for a company owned by his wealthy family. This shot … Continue reading Book Review: Unraveling the Threads of Fate by Alice Winters
Book Review: Inferno (Hammer and Fist: Geminatus #1) by Jennifer Cody
The author advertised that this book could be read before or after Sledge and Claw (Hammer and Fist: Lextalion #1), but I read it second per the publishing dates. This order worked well for two reasons. First, characters from the other book provide delightful cameos in this novel (and yes, Lex and co. are as … Continue reading Book Review: Inferno (Hammer and Fist: Geminatus #1) by Jennifer Cody
Book Review: Sledge and Claw (Hammer and Fist: Lextalion #1) by Jennifer Cody
I’m really into the genre differences between urban fantasy and paranormal romance, especially when the main character includes supernatural traits, and this book takes that distinction to an entirely new level. The unique spin Cody puts on the fantasy elements of this series is that the non-humans are from different dimensions for which Earth is … Continue reading Book Review: Sledge and Claw (Hammer and Fist: Lextalion #1) by Jennifer Cody
Book Review: Bellamy (Sons of the Fallen #5) by Jaclyn Osborn
Read my reviews of the first 4 books in the Sons of the Fallen series. The fated mate connection between Bellamy (avatar of Lust) and Phoenix (demon and all-around snarky dude) has been teased for a few books. Though we have only seen their interactions from other perspectives until now, their eventual clash was less … Continue reading Book Review: Bellamy (Sons of the Fallen #5) by Jaclyn Osborn
Book Review: Spirited Situation (Ghostly Guardians #1) by Louisa Masters
This book popped close to the top of the list when I began to intentionally search out urban fantasy stories emphasizing queer characters instead of queer paranormal romances. A difference between the two exists, even when one of the central characters in this book has a paranormal ability. The romance between Josh and Ewan is … Continue reading Book Review: Spirited Situation (Ghostly Guardians #1) by Louisa Masters

Book Review: Redeemed (Soulmates #3) by Liv Rancourt
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Soulmates series: Soulmates (#1)Tested (#2) If books 1 and 2 in this series focus on conflicts that affect David and Connor, the biggest plot element for book 3 surrounds Trajan. Things have been tense with his vampire maker since the very beginning of these stories, but Betancourt’s order … Continue reading Book Review: Redeemed (Soulmates #3) by Liv Rancourt

This post includes reviews of the currently available books in the Sons of the Fallen series: Galen (#1)Castor (#2)Daman (#3)Gray (#4) Galen (Sons of the Fallen #1) Paranormal romance featuring angels and demons have always been a mixed bag for me, but Amazon kept throwing the first book of the series into my recommendations list. … Continue reading Book Review: Sons of the Fallen Series by Jaclyn Osborn
Review: Soulmates Series by Liv Rancourt
This post includes reviews of the currently available books in the Soulmates series: Soulmates (#1)Tested (#2) Soulmates (Book 1) One of the good things to come out of this crazy era we live in is the ability to connect with people we otherwise might not meet.

Review: Cold Hard Ground (Carpe Noctem #1) by Ariel Millar
I am a huge fan of this author in her persona as a contemporary MM romance writer (E.M. Lindsey), so I immediately pounced on this book when it came out. Then I did that weird thing where I put off reading it, only to devour it in a single evening once I started. I’m not … Continue reading Review: Cold Hard Ground (Carpe Noctem #1) by Ariel Millar
Review: Hallowed Moon by Kelly Fox
Disclaimer: I received an electronic ARC of this novella from the author. I had a lot of fun with this paranormal romance novella because it was a quick introduction to a fascinating new world with lots of possibilities. From the author's note at the beginning, it's obvious that Fox has close emotional ties with this … Continue reading Review: Hallowed Moon by Kelly Fox
Review: The Wimberley Chronicles by Kelly Fox
Wimberley has always been a source of curiosity for me after reading Fox’s Wrecked and Wrecked: Guardians series. It’s a private black ops program, it employs Hedy and the Bash Brothers, and other than that…your guess was as good as mine. It turns out, Fox initially wrote a book featuring the full story, then used … Continue reading Review: The Wimberley Chronicles by Kelly Fox

Review: A Time to Rise by Tal Bauer
I’m not sure what I expected of this book, but it was about a million times better than I anticipated. The characters, story, and situation were more exciting than I could have imagined, and it all packed an amazing emotional punch at the end. It’s one of those harder to categorize books: not quite a … Continue reading Review: A Time to Rise by Tal Bauer

Review: The Quiet House (Black & Blue #2) by Lily Morton
A group of paranormal specialists and investigators are gathered at a supposedly haunted house. We’ve probably all read this story before. Except this version happens to include the mysterious and amazing Blue Billings, with boyfriend Levi and mentor Tom along for the ride. What results is decidedly more in the haunted and horrifying department than … Continue reading Review: The Quiet House (Black & Blue #2) by Lily Morton
Review: Marquis of Secret Doors (Royal Powers #3) by Lynn Lorenz
Read my review of Royal Powers #1, Duking It Out, by E.J. RussellRead my review of Royal Powers #2, The Hero and the Hidden Royal, by Renae Kaye For the third installment of this shared-world romance series, the author takes advantage of the fact that these countries are European-based and also dips back into the … Continue reading Review: Marquis of Secret Doors (Royal Powers #3) by Lynn Lorenz
Review: The Hero and the Hidden Royal (Royal Powers #2) by Renae Kaye
Read my review of Royal Powers Book 1, Duking It Out, by E.J. Russell After the first installment of this shared-world series focused on the royals who have superpowers, I was excited to read something similar yet completely different. The fact that some “commoners” also have superpowers is unsurprising based on how the world works. … Continue reading Review: The Hero and the Hidden Royal (Royal Powers #2) by Renae Kaye
Review: Duking It Out (Royal Powers #1) by E.J. Russell
I picked up the first installment in this superpowers-themed, shared-world romance series because I’d read another book by the first author. The author note at the beginning helps with the world-building issues in such a short text, and even though I still have lots of questions about these countries, none of them prevented me from … Continue reading Review: Duking It Out (Royal Powers #1) by E.J. Russell
