🎧 Primal Mirror by Nalini Singh @NaliniSingh #AngelaDawe @BerkleyPub @TantorAudio #LoveAudiobooks #Favorite

The Psy-Changeling Trinity the spin off series to Psy-Changeling. Overall, it is like one big series. I didn’t and wouldn’t read the later books without the foundation of the first series. Singh has a style which is a great blend of paranormal romance and urban fantasy. Each book has a romantic couple and we […]

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 […]

Tin God by Elizabeth Hunter @EHunterWrites

Elizabeth Hunter is an author I have enjoyed for more than a decade. She has many great series. Her world building is rich and her characters feel authentic. Although, with some of them it’s good they are fictional. Tin God is a crossover between two series, Elemental Covenant and Elemental Legacy, which is fun having […]

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 […]

🎧 Discount Armageddon by Seanan McGuire @seananmcguire @audible_com ‏@dawbooks @AudiobookMel #LoveAudiobooks #JIAM

I haven’t read much from Seanan McGuire under this pen name, but I’ve read everything she’s written under the Mira Grant pen name. Grant is a horror writer. I knew McGuire was not as dark of a writer as Grant, but I wasn’t expecting the humor I got in this story. This is a bit […]
