When Dana Schwartz’s novel Anatomy ended with some unresolved story arcs, it was an easy decision, well, more like a necessity, to pick up Immortality: A Love Story, the second and final installment in The Anatomy Duology. I expected a continuation of Hazel’s journey towards being a surgeon mixed with a gothic mystery set in […]
I always like to start my reviews with the reason I picked up this particular book. Sometimes it is the cover, sometimes it is a well-loved author’s latest release, and sometimes it is because the author mentioned her book during her appearance on my favorite game show. That is too specific a scenario to not […]
I really enjoyed the first book of this The Witch’s Compendium of Monsters series. I seem to enjoy many Slavic mythology fantasy books. I don’t want to repeat my review of the first book, so I’ll give you a very short recap of the world and characters. I would read these books in order. I […]
When Among Crows is a standalone novella based mostly in Slavic lore. Dymitr is on a quest to find Baba Yaga. To do so will take the help of some of the creatures he has grow up knowing as monsters. But there is one that may be swayed to help if for the right price. […]
A Sure Duke is the third book in The McQuoid’s of Mayfair series following the siblings of a pretty unconventional family of the ton as they find their matches. You do not have to have read the previous books in the series to enjoy this one. So far we’ve had one sibling accidentally left behind […]
The Heiress at Sea is set as a stand alone novel and can be read by itself but the heroine is Cassia McQuoid, sister to Myrtle McQuiod in The Duke Alone (sort of a historical romance meets home alone Christmas story). Cassia wants to have an adventure; she is three seasons in and no one […]
I guess I should have guessed The Duke Alone was a holiday story by the synopsis but I totally missed that before starting to read. This is very much Home Alone meets a Regency romance even to the description of the thieves out to rob the house during the holidays. While I like both Home […]
Guild Codex Unveiled series is a different aspect of the Guild Codex Spellbound world. I thought this was going to be Zak’s story but really it is his and Saber’s stories. I have read all of the Spellbound and Warped series. I would say you can read Unveiled without Spellbound and Warped first but I […]
A Wanton for all Seasons is the third book of the Wantons of Waverton series and has a couple ties to the Lost Lords of London series to boot. So I must confess with that title I thought this might be more of a Christmas book. Just to be clear it is not, and is […]
I definitely like the concept of the Lost Lords of London series, where sons of the gentry were stolen away and presumed dead so others could inherit. In the Dark with the Duke is the second book of the series and follows another boy brought up in the underbelly of London only to find out […]
