Burn For Me by Ilona Andrews

Burn For Me by Ilona Andrews

3.5 stars — While the plot of this one was very fast and engaging, the romance aspect actually detracted for me.  But to be fair, this is just a huge mismatch personal taste-wise as far as that aspect goes. I started listening to this one on audio since my library didn’t have the ebook.  And […]

Grim and Bear It by Juliette Cross

Grim and Bear It by Juliette Cross

5 stars — You know how you start a series, and you know who all the heroines are going to be in a series (say, if it’s about 6 witch sisters), and almost right from the start, you know EXACTLY which one is your favourite, and whose story you are most looking forward to?  And […]

Moonlight and Magic by Darynda Jones

Moonlight and Magic by Darynda Jones

3.5 stars — The humour of these characters is still absolutely fantastic, but I found that I noticed the lack of progression even more in this one.  I think my frustration with drawn out mysteries from the reader was showing a bit more. Annette was also extremely frustrating in her obliviousness…or something.  There is a […]

Beguiled by Darynda Jones

Beguiled by Darynda Jones

4 stars — This series still contains some of the more hilarious characters I’ve ever met, and it delights me to no end…I just wish the pacing was cleaned up a bit, and some bits just feel really repetitive.  Still eminently entertaining, especially with Ms. Odom’s narration. I seriously adore Dephne and Annette.  They are […]

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 […]

Fire Baptized by Kenya Wright

Fire Baptized by Kenya Wright

3.5 stars — Despite being absolutely thrilled to have a heroine with *almost* my first name, I was a bit taken aback by the start of the book.  We’re definitely thrust into a dystopian nightmare and a trigger scenario (warning).  And while I am definitely intrigued by this bizarre world that Ms. Wright set up, […]

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 […]

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 […]

Betwixt by Darynda Jones

Betwixt by Darynda Jones

4 stars — The humour on this one sucked me in practically from the first page and was picture Lenore perfect right to the end.  The snarky wise-cracking between Dephne and Annette was just *mwah* perfection.  If I hadn’t listened to most of it, I probably would have highlighted a whole schwakload of their banter, […]
