Knocked Out by Jiffy Kate

Knocked Out by Jiffy Kate

4 stars — Am I the only one that loves when the grump is the heroine and the sunshine is the hero?? Willow was actually as badass as everyone told her she was — I really admired her.  She was really down to earth, and while she had a lot of things going on with her, […]

Demon Defeat: Part One by M.J. Haag

Demon Defeat: Part One by M.J. Haag

4.5 stars — Why is this series so freaking addictive??  SERIOUSLY, WHY??  God I love that.  I pick it up, and I just want to keep reading.  Which of course just makes it that much harder to wait (im)patiently for part two…but I will do what I must. Andie was a super intriguing heroine!  She […]

Bewitched by Darynda Jones

Bewitched by Darynda Jones

4 stars — OK, this is going to be another terrible review because I did a terrible job writing down my thoughts…woops, sorry! Still hilarious.  The banter, the witty writing, loving it. Dephne is a delightfully sassy and sarcastic witch. Annette is hilarious. Still a bit repetitive at times and feels like not a lot […]

Tear by Rachel Van Dyken

Tear by Rachel Van Dyken

DNF @ end of Chapter 1 — Wow.  I mean, I had a feeling this might not work for me because I have very mixed reactions to books by this author (who I think I’m officially marking as not for me).  But I still expected to get farther than the end of chapter 1. It […]

Raven’s Return by Ruby Dixon

Raven’s Return by Ruby Dixon

4 stars — Well, Raven wasn’t what I was expecting AT ALL.  Which, was kind of the point…but I have mixed feelings about that, because I enjoyed her persona.  At the same time, I really appreciated the story of the REAL Raven, and how she struggled with letting people see the real her.  I did […]

The Fire Sisters by A.G. Henley

The Fire Sisters by A.G. Henley

4.5 stars — Okay, I will admit that I remember feeling pretty satisfied until the twist at the very end of Defiance, and thinking that Fenn and Peree didn’t need another book.  But after reading The Gatherer short story (highly recommend before reading this one), and having just finished the story, I will admit that […]

Hajar’s Hidden Legacy by Maisey Yates

Hajar’s Hidden Legacy by Maisey Yates

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4 stars — I don’t know why (though I’m sure if I really thought about it I could figure it out), but I truly LOVE books where one of the characters feels they have some physical flaw that makes them not fit for society or something…that’s not exactly what I mean, but you […]

Mari’s Mistake by Ruby Dixon

Mari’s Mistake by Ruby Dixon

3.5 stars — I was surprised by how much of the book took us into the past with Mari and T’Chai.  I wasn’t sad about that, I wanted to know how their relationship developed, but I guess it was probably just a scootch more than felt necessary to me.  Especially given the time jump in […]

A Little Too Close by Rebecca Yarros

A Little Too Close by Rebecca Yarros

4.5 stars — Well damn, that was devourable. Callie was this interesting mix of brave and cautious.  There were so many moments where I appreciated her willingness to put herself out there and try things before writing them off.  But she had her moments of caution as well, especially when it came to her daughter’s […]
