Rifts and Refrains by Devney Perry

Rifts and Refrains by Devney Perry

4 stars — I’m not sure what I expected from Quinn’s story, but apparently this wasn’t it.  And I don’t mean that in a bad way…or a good way.  Just an unexpected way.  There were certain aspects of this story that just dragged me in and wouldn’t let me go…but there were other parts that […]

Stripped by Zoey Castile

3.5 stars — I think if I hadn’t been reading this for my Diversity challenge, I might have just DNF’d.  And that doesn’t mean the book was bad, just that I think it wasn’t for me.  It took me almost a whole month to read this one, I just didn’t reach for it. The narrators […]

Lastland by A.R. Ivanovich

Lastland by A.R. Ivanovich

4.5 stars — Wow.  I’ve learned that with this series I can’t trust my gut, and I should prepare for surprises.  So I think I read this one on the edge of my seat, barely able to trust what I was feeling.  But in the end?  It was worth it.  I was wholly satisfied with the […]

Monarch by A.R. Ivanovich

Monarch by A.R. Ivanovich

4.5 stars — Wow.  I just…don’t understand what kind of fucked up imagination this author has to create these crazy worlds.  And damn, but she’s evil for putting her readers through craziness after craziness.  There were twists that while I didn’t guess, I could totally see after the fact.  And then there were other twists […]

Paperglass by A.R. Ivanovich

Paperglass by A.R. Ivanovich

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — great followup to the first book. Again, lots of great action, an intriguing and unique built world, hilarious banter between characters, a flawed protagonist that has been thrust into the craziness again….oh yeah, and Rune. *sigh* Hmmmm, how am I going to do this review without giving anything away? Impossible. […]

Haven by A.R. Ivanovich

Haven by A.R. Ivanovich

ORIGINAL REVIEW: 4.5 stars — OK, that was a fun ride. Seriously, so much more than I was expecting. First, I LOVED Katelyn’s voice….she could be just absolutely HILARIOUS. She is such a strong, spirited girl, but with a fabulous self-deprecating and witty sense of humour. I actually really enjoyed her friends in Rivermarch too, […]

Lies & Lullabies by Sarina Bowen

Lies & Lullabies by Sarina Bowen

4.5 stars — I told Brett that this one was an amalgamation of some of my favourite tropes: secret identity, secret baby, celebrity…even a bit of second chance.  And it fulfilled everything I love about those tropes and more.  Basically, Lenore was a happy reader…well, listener. Jonas was NOTHING like I was expecting for a […]

The Beat Match by Kelly Siskind

The Beat Match by Kelly Siskind

4 stars — This book had a lot of super cute moments mixed with plenty of heart and emotion.  I had mixed feelings about our hero, but all in all it was a super satisfying romance. I loved a LOT of things about Weston — from his genuinely good heart, his ability to listen and […]
