Marking Time by April White

Marking Time by April White

3.5 stars — I read this in a boxed set, so didn’t have the updated 10th anniversary editions.  I will admit that I found the story to read a bit jumbled, especially in the beginning.  It feels like we’re thrown in, and then plot things just keep happening and happening, but we haven’t really had […]

Demon Blind by M.J. Haag

Demon Blind by M.J. Haag

4 stars — This book was filled with lots of misunderstandings from not communicating, but for once I felt like that all came from a reasonable place on both ends.  It had all built up from the experiences of EVERYONE (human and fey alike) since the earthquakes.  Fey had been given so many different pieces […]

Three Wishes by Kristen Ashley

Three Wishes by Kristen Ashley

3.5 stars — This was a strangely compelling book, despite some things that really pushed my buttons.  The funny thing is, I kind of expected not to enjoy this book, and so it surprised me in many ways. I wasn’t expecting the way the story started, and the way the story was told through so […]

Don’t Hex and Drive by Juliette Cross

Don’t Hex and Drive by Juliette Cross

4.5 stars — Well wow, there is definitely no sophomore slump in this series!  I was worried at the beginning, because Isadora is so closed off, I wasn’t sure I would connect with her, or with them together, but I wholeheartedly did! I really ended up loving Isadora.  Yes, she was shy and reserved and […]

Forsaken Trail by Devney Perry

Forsaken Trail by Devney Perry

4 stars — This was a solid romance, if a bit short. I think it didn’t hurt that I really enjoyed both narrators.  This is my second time listening to Mr. Snow, and I just really like his voice.  Both narrators were fantastic with pacing, voices and emotions, they made it so easy to listen. […]

Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade

5 stars — Wow.  Just, this was more than everything I was looking for in a book, and I loved it from start to finish.  Sometimes I find 5 star reviews the hardest to write, because there’s so much I feel, but I don’t want to spoil anything and I feel weird just absurdly gushing, […]

Well Played by Jen DeLuca

3.5 stars — I think my mediocre rating for this one had to do with 2 things on a personal front: having expectations for who Stacey was and how I thought this story would go; and simultaneously reading a book I’m really loving so I would inevitably compare the two and notice more clearly what […]

Bayou Beloved by Lexi Blake

Bayou Beloved by Lexi Blake

4 stars — I really love this quirky little town and it’s lovable crazy characters. I will admit that I had an entirely different expectation of who Jayna was going to be, and I think it took me a little bit to warm up to her.  She’s very forthright and ambitious and I was expecting […]

Fire in His Blood by Ruby Dixon

Fire in His Blood by Ruby Dixon

2.5 stars — Well that was a disappointment.  I would have enjoyed this book 1000 times more if it was half the size.  I truly don’t know if Ms. Dixon lost a good editor, or if it’s KU padding, but it was repetitive as fuck. I can also say that I don’t think the narrators […]
