I love Historical Romance, something I’ve mentioned in reviews more than once, and will probably mention again in the future. In a genre that seems dominated by veteran writers, I was pleased to discover a new voice; Evie Dunmore. Her debut novel, Bringing Down the Duke, is the first in series A League of Extraordinary […]
I’ve been in a bit of a book slump. I’ve been so caught up in what is going on in the world that it is really hard to find anything else that can hold my interest for even just a little while. This is the worst it has ever been for me. My solution was […]
Faith Nightstar is a powerful “Cardinal F Psy” with the astounding ability to predict the future with accuracy. She’s sensitive to outside stimulation and because of her talent she’s under strict “protection”. However, that protection feels more like a prison for Faith lately. Her secluded mountain “sanctuary” is breached by a jaguar Changeling, Vaugh […]
The Pandemic can be blamed for a lot of crazy behavior on our parts. I’ve been spending an inordinate amount of time binge watching TV shows; and quality doesn’t seem to be a factor.

So when the library app kindly suggested Murder at the Brightwell as a cozy, between-the-wars mystery I might enjoy reading next, I did two […]
I have never read a book by Seanan McGuire, but I have read a lot of books by her other pen name, Mira Grant. I wasn’t sure going into this book what to expect. I’ve read some authors with multiple pen names that have a different style with each pen name and with Grant, she’s […]
So, first, I want to say, this story can trigger some people. This is a crime novel, which means you read some pretty horrible stories. Personally, I like being in a world where the bad guys are always caught and justice is served. But that also means I end up reading some pretty horrific […]

This is a nostalgia-filled horror novel, which sounds […]
