I had no doubt that Kelley Armstrong could write a gloriously creepy horror story. I usually enjoy everything I’ve read from her. She writes amazing characters that really make you fall in love with them. In this story, there is a character we never meet on the page, but I still fell in love […]
Inheritance, the first book of the Lost Bride’s Trilogy is right up my ally. It is a mashup of romance, suspense, some paranormal activity and a mystery two centuries in the making. In a glorious gothic mansion that just oozes “I’m haunted vibes”, the story starts to take shape on the curse that lives in […]
The Hunting Moon is the second book of The Luminaries series, following one of the Luminaries on her journey to restore her family name and not get killed in a Forrest full of magical creatures her family has been fighting for generations. Winnie Wednesday is an expert at not doing what is expected of her […]
Bookshops and Bonedust is a prequel to Legends and Lattes and it is really meant to be read after Legends and Lattes when we already know Liv the main character. It has a few of the same problems most prequels do, you know the character is going to survive and move onto something else so […]
I was so excited when I learned there would be more story in the world of A Darker Shade of Magic. The ending of that trilogy was so powerful with sacrifices by some of our main characters. So I was thrilled to get the next phase of their stories. Many of the old characters and […]

Thornhedge is a a new kind of fairytale where the heroine isn’t beautiful and looking to be saved and the night is gentle and doesn’t really want to kill anyone. In the beginning, it seems like a Sleeping Beauty story and while there is a maiden in a tower no one should save her. Toadling […]
Hello Stranger was a journey of personal growth for Sadie. I didn’t figure out her name until later in the books because a person doesn’t call themselves by their own name. We are mostly shared her thoughts and point of view. Sadie had a rough childhood with her mother’s death, her father’s withdrawal into grief […]
All the Sinners Bleed is the second audio I have read by this author. The world-building and characters are so good. The racism and white supremacy folks are horrifying but probably rather accurate. Titus is a former FBI agent and comes home after a bad incident when his father needs more help. He ended up […]
I didn’t know what to expect here but I love scifi and Murderbot is one of my very favorite series. However, Witch King feels more like epic fantasy. There are lots of characters and types of characters with complex abilities and magic. I think I will definitely want to read again, possibly listening while reading […]
