My favorite novellas have tended to be set in series where I’ve already read multiple books. It is a great way to tell a story about a side character or expand on some details of some of the current main characters that maybe are only in the author’s head. The Transplanted Tales series takes characters […]
Now we come to the final book in the Jane Yellowrock series. The style of Final Heir felt very different to me. As usual, the point of view is Jane’s with her thoughts and where she is and what she sees. Because she is now often in a more political role, directing things, and being […]
The third book of the Transplanted Tales series, Along Came a Spider is brought to us by Little Miss Muffet’s PoV. She goes by Trish in the here in now working for the FMA (Fairytale Management Authority) to solve crimes perpetrated on tales. She has a special talent to see the last moments of the […]
The Big Bad Wolf and Cinderella’s godmother responsible for accidentally sending some Tales into the real world might not seem like a likely couple. The Better To See You, the second book in the Transplanted Tales series, is about two people/tales, who mostly hated by others need to find a way to forgive themselves and trust someone […]
I completely love fairy tales and characters out of literature. Even more, I love mash-ups of fairytale characters and used to watch the show Once Upon a Time religiously. So how is it that I not heard of The Transplanted Tales series? I think the only reason I have not devoured this series already is […]
I read the first book in the Parker City Mystery series and suffered a bit of first book syndrome where I am settling into the world and characters being developed. I was not helped by the scenes going back and forth in time from Ben & Tommy’s first case to the present when Tommy is […]
Wow. I really enjoyed Fool Her Once. All along, I thought I had ideas and knew what would happen and kind of kept waiting for it and then no, it was something else. These characters were all flawed and sometimes not very likeable. If you don’t like cheating, you won’t like it here. Jenna is […]
This author excels at infusing life into her characters which engages readers on a whole new level. Sweet is the fourth book set in a small town in California, in the 7th and Main series. It takes an interesting view about a decade before the first three in the series happen. I like getting a […]
I have loved every book in this Bree Taggert series. I have also enjoyed the author’s Morgan Dane and Scarlet Falls series which are very loosely related to this one. They are earlier but do not need to be read first. I would read this series itself in order as they are excellent and […]
A small town for the holiday is just the sort of comfy, heartwarming romance setting I crave. Brenda Jackson has brought her readers back to Catalina Cove for a new lovers getting a second chance surrounded by friends, family, and community that makes the magic of the holidays a delicious extra to an already engaging […]
