The Edge and the last two Innkeeper audiobooks are at some libraries. The first four Innkeeper audiobooks are an Audible exclusive. The Edge series is more paranormal romance whereas Innkeeper is […]

Shine by Dannika Dark is the final audiobook in the riveting Mageri series. Dannika Dark has become a favorite here at Caffeinated, and this year I devoured the Seven and Mageri series. I am awaiting the next Crossbreed release. This is the final Mageri book, but there are a few books set in their world: […]

Years ago—probably close to a decade now!—I snagged most of Dannika Dark’s Mageri series through some Audible deals, without reading a single one. I was hearing so many overwhelmingly positive things that I was convinced I’d love the books. Fast forward to 2024, and guess what? Still hadn’t read a single one. But thanks to […]

I am a huge fan of Dannika Dark’s Crossbreed Series. Prior to this read-along, I hadn’t considered that it was a spin-off series. I was excited to discover the connection when the Mageri Series was selected as for the Blog’s read-along (Thanks Anne!) and eager to see where it all started. It is only by […]

I previously read Sterling but it’s been a hot second – or eleven years – and seeing as I want to continue on to the spinoff series, I jumped at the chance to do a re-read with COYER. As always, I’m grateful to buddy read (listen) with Anne and Berls! I’d forgotten much about the world of the […]

Read-along Q & A with Diana Rowland @dianarowland #AllisonMcLemore @dawbooks #BrillianceAudio @AudibleStudios #Read-along #LoveAudiobooks

I’m curious where the idea that the zombies could only eat brains came from. No other organs or body parts? Just brains? Well, first off, I’m definitely in the “zombies eat brains” camp as opposed to “zombies eat people/parts” simply because I’ve tended to classify “undead creatures who eat people/parts” as ghouls and not […]

Reading a final book in a series can be an emotional experience. If you have held on until the end, you also cannot help but have questions and expectations and possibly a little trepidation. Rowland has done an exceptional job leading readers through Angel Crawford’s world. We started with a small insular snapshot of her […]

I chose this series after a poll and discussions with my team and several friends. The ebook, print or audio are available at most libraries. I have not read any of this series; they were recommended to me by friends. I look forward to finally reading the series. The narrator is also highly recommended. […]

White Trash Zombie Gone Wild by Diana Rowland is the fifth book in the White Trash Zombie series. Hilarious, Intense, and filled with both crazy and heartfelt moments, we once again witness Angel Crawford lose her shit and save the day. I absolutely love listening to this series. Allison McLemore narrates and just brings Angel and […]
