The Five-Day Reunion by Mona Shroff

The Five-Day Reunion by Mona Shroff

3.5 stars — Well oops.  Apparently I started this review, but barely wrote anything and didn’t realize it.  So this is going to be bare bones. I really enjoyed seeing elements of the Indian wedding festivities that I have participated in with friends.  I still don’t know them that well, but I recognized a few […]

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), […]

3.75 stars — Honestly, I don’t really know why this one isn’t a full 4 stars…probably my mood.  So for all intents and purposes, just consider this a 4 star review and let’s ignore Lenore’s weird need to be precise about shit. It’s been quite a while since I read Dylan and Chastity’s book, 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Her Wicked Marquess by Stacy Reid

Her Wicked Marquess by Stacy Reid

4.5 stars — Oh wow, that was a ride from start to finish. It’s funny, b/c I am not a fan of domineering males…or villainous ones.  And I’m not saying that Nicolas was necessarily either of those things, but he was definitely a shades of gray kind of hero.  And all I can say is […]
