A Thousand Recipes for Revenge is the first book in the Chefs of the Five Gods series, told from the PoVs of a mother and her daughter. Both women have been touched by a god to be able to sense epicurea (magical ingredients) in different ways. This makes them god touched and very special to […]
Having read the entire Iron Druid Chronicles before, this is my second time listening to Hammered. While I don’t give away any spoilers, I will note that my feelings about this one were definitely altered having listened to it and the entire series previously. That said, I actually enjoyed Hammered more this time around. Making good on his promise […]
What a ride! Hexed by Kevin Hearne is the second adventure in The Iron Druid Chronicles which follows Atticus O’Sullivan, the last iron druid, as he attempts to live a peaceful life in the hills of Arizona. This book picks up not long after the events of book one, Hounded, so there may be some minor spoilers to that […]
I have enjoyed Robert Dugoni’s books from the first one I read and now I wouldn’t think of not reading all his new ones. Her Deadly Game is the first in a new series, Keera Duggan. The setting is Seattle, as some of his other series. In fact, it is the same world, as we […]
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 […]

Probably it is the perfect canvas of this type of setting for emotional themes, battles of greed, corruption, and social […]
So I am thrilled to actually be getting started READING now. It’s sad to me I’ve been buying these on audio and wanting to read them for YEARS. I actually scheduled a Read-along so I can get to them. It’s a way to commit myself (and my friends.) Urban Fantasy is my favorite genre. I […]
I planned to get this from the publisher but since it is in Kindle Unlimited including audio and I had it scheduled for the first week of January, I got it from Kindle Unlimited. Hide is the first in a new series, Detective Harriet Foster. I enjoy police procedurals and this one felt authentic with […]
The Vibrant Years is a standalone multigenerational story about three very different women. They stand by each other and try to lift one another up in the best ways they know how. Each of them is currently fighting for a dream of sorts and trying to make their way through this time of endless opportunities, […]
