Wow, that was INTENSE!!! Like seriously, even though as a reader I generally have an expectation of my level of anxiety, and I end up convincing myself that things’ll be okay, there were multiple times in this book where I honestly had NO IDEA how Robin and Zylas were going to survive. My poor […]

The Alchemist and an Amaretto was an absolutely great listen for me. Every time I return to this world I’m reminded why these books are so addictive. The blend of magic, action, humor, and character development was perfectly balanced, and I was hooked from beginning to end. I am also completely invested in Cris […]

I originally started The Guild Codex: Warped series out of order of the other books set in this world and I thought they were fun. But I didn’t get the full impact of each story until I started the Read-along with this blog and started over from the very beginning. It has added […]

Once again I have to say these stories get better with each book for me! I love that in this book we really got Ezra’s back story as it was related to the theme of the story. The little short story, Four Shifters and a Stranger, was one that I should probably have read first, […]

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Guild Codex World and so, I’m excited to participate in this Read-Along. The fairy haunting the apartment is a great way to start this second novel in the series. I loved Tori’s time with the Ghost. This was just as exciting and fun as my […]

An exciting and fun start to what looks to be an entertaining urban fantasy series. I was intrigued by Tori right from the start and very curious about where her story was heading. Tori’s first few shifts at the bar served to set up this world of mythics really well. She took to her […]
