The Warden by Sage Alder

The Warden by Sage Alder

4.5 stars — This was exactly what I was looking for and needing with the mood I was in.  I know the author said the book turned out longer than she expected, but I honestly didn’t notice at all…and if you’ve been reading my reviews lately, you know that’s something that doesn’t work for me, […]

Famine by Laura Thalassa

Famine by Laura Thalassa

2.5 stars — Well…that was probably how I was expecting to feel after reading the reviews.  Just because I know I get bothered by the same things as were mentioned in many negative reviews.  I definitely enjoyed Pestilence, I was middling on War (even though it ended great apparently, though now I don’t honestly remember), […]

Bound to the Battle God by Ruby Dixon

Bound to the Battle God by Ruby Dixon

3.5 stars — This one had some really fun moments, but in the end it was just too long and didn’t maintain a good pace for the whole thing. Faith was an okay heroine — she had some fun sass, and I appreciated how she didn’t treat Aron differently just because he was a God.  […]

Hard Pass by Sara Ney

Hard Pass by Sara Ney

2.5 stars — This book profoundly underwhelmed me.  And it started off really good too, so that’s a bummer. First some background: I have a huge beef with society and its standards of beauty…and it filters over to my love of romances and the completely generic cookie cutter heroes we always get (abs for days, […]

Changing Nature by April White

Changing Nature by April White

4 stars — This series just keeps getting better and better as we get to know the characters and the world more!  I think I even had a brilliant theory appear at the end there and I can’t wait to find out if my theory is correct! There were definitely elements that were heartbreaking and […]

Hammered by Pippa Grant & Lili Valente

Hammered by Pippa Grant & Lili Valente

2.5 stars — Eh.  This one was kind of underwhelming for me.  I think the book put more stock into the over the top antics than in the characters, which is what some readers are looking for…I’m just not that reader.  I love me a quirky town and quirky characters, but for some reason this […]

Hosed by Pippa Grant & Lili Valente

Hosed by Pippa Grant & Lili Valente

3.5 stars — This was a fun book, and George Cooney definitely has me rounding up instead of down.  He was hilarious, if a bit unrealistic. I was pretty excited to have a nerdy shy heroine, but honestly that’s not quite what I got with Cassie.  We didn’t get more than a shallow reference to […]

Tempting Fate by April White

Tempting Fate by April White

3.5 stars — I will admit that I stayed up pretty late into the night finishing this one, because I just really wanted to know what was going to happen.  I think if I was a history buff, I would enjoy these books even more.  As it is, I really haven’t retained much about British […]

Always Practice Safe Hex by Juliette Cross

Always Practice Safe Hex by Juliette Cross

3.75 stars — While in general this was da bomb like all the books in this series, there were a few things that just niggled at me I guess…and apparently niggled enough to not quite make 4 stars.  Whatever, it’s my review, I’ll do what I want. I really enjoyed Livvy, though it wasn’t quite […]

Garnet Flats by Devney Perry

Garnet Flats by Devney Perry

3.5 stars — I will admit, I read some friends reviews for this book and went in prepared to be annoyed and frustrated, and so I think I was better able to just gloss over the cliché plot aspects, and bad decisions by some characters because I was expecting them.  It’s weird how that works […]
