🎧 Devil’s Due by Rachel Caine @rachelcaine @jennaquino25 @TantorAudio #KindleUnlimited #LoveAudiobooks

🎧 Devil’s Bargain by Rachel Caine @rachelcaine @jennaquino25 @TantorAudio #KindleUnlimited #LoveAudiobooks

I’ve enjoyed this author so I was excited to see this backlist title coming to audio. It’s a short Duology – Red Letter Days. I will be reviewing the next book Tuesday Devil’s Due. The story is a combination of law enforcement and special operations. It’s a strange setup and there is more I hope […]

I am awaiting the next Crossbreed release. This is the final Mageri book, but there are a few books set in their world: […]

🎧 With a Golden Sword by Rachel Aaron @Rachel_Aaron #NaomiRose-Mock #LoveAudiobooks @AudiobookMel

With a Golden Sword picks up right where By a Silver Thread left off, and while the beginning felt a bit slow, the ending totally makes up for it. The excitement builds up towards the end, which leaves me eager to jump straight into the final book, To the Bloody End. Victor, the blood mage, […]

Demon’s Bluff by Kim Harrison @BurningBunnies ‏@AceBooksPub @BerkleyPub

So, The Hollows series was the very first Read-along I hosted in my early days of blogging at Yummy Men & KickAss Chicks. I chose it because I had heard so many great things about it but had never read the series. It was also 2014 and the year the “final” book was released, Witch with […]

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 […]
