Review: The Diabolical Bones (Brontë Sisters Mystery #2) by Bella Ellis
This is a series that could have gone so wrong or so right depending on the execution. The Bronte sisters as detectives? I just wasn’t sure when I first heard about it. But I am also a huge fan of all things Bronte so I decided to read the first book anyway. I am so glad I did, because I loved it! I worried that it would be hokey because the Bronte’s wrote romance rather than mystery so I just worried it wouldn’t translate well in this modern mashup of Brontes and murder. But it was great the first book was so fun and interesting that when the next book…

Special Feature: THE CUL-DE-SAC WAR by Melissa Ferguson
Anyone need a rom-com to get through the holidays this year? I know I do! I love rom-coms during the holidays even if they don’t really have a holiday element to them. This one has been getting a lot of attention all over social media which may or may not be a good thing, but for me this one sounds like a winner! I am going to read it a little later on this winter but for now, I am bringing you all the details here!

Special Feature: Without a Brew (Sloan Krause #4) by Ellie Alexander
I have been a big fan of Ellie Alexander! I have enjoyed this series quite a bit but couldn’t get it on my review schedule for the fall, however I am going to read it later on this winter! Alexander is a Pacific Northwest writer and I have loved reading her books that are all set in Oregon and Washington. Many of the places I know and recognize which makes the book hold a special place in my heart! This particular series has a craft brew element which may or may not be you thing but I personally enjoyed it and I love all of her descriptions of the beers…

Special Feature: The Rules of Enchantment by Wendy Tardieu
Fantasy and romance always makes for an interesting combo in my opinion. I mean seriously, magic and fantasy are romantic just by themselves but when you add in actual romantic love I just think it’s a great combo! Today I have this lovely new fantasy/romance mash up on my blog for special feature! This one comes in at just under 200 pages so it will make a quick read so if you are into romance and fantasy, then I think this could be a fun quick read for you! This book has been labeled an ‘erotic’ fantasy adventure but from some of the reviews I have been reading, many say…

Review: Spellbreaker (Spellbreaker Duology #1) by Charlie N Holmberg
I normally stay clear of duologies. For some reason they just feel unfinished and odd to me and historically I just haven’t enjoyed them as much as I have trilogies. But how could I pass on this cover? There was no way I was going to pass on this one because that cover it too stunning to not pick it up and read it! Plus I know that this author has written another successful series (The Paper Magician) that I have had my eye on for so so so long. I thought the book sounded like a quick easy read with a lot to recommend itself. I mean, how can…

Review: The Residence by Andrew Pyper
Election Day was yesterday and I thought what better way to celebrate our right to vote by reading this horror novel about the White House and it’s ghosts. Regardless of who you voted for or if you are happy or sad about the outcome, this book is going to give you all the thrills and chills that politics are kind of known for and the best part is you don’t have to turn on the TV to get the thrills and chills…..open this book instead. It’s just as scary as modern politics. I was really drawn into this one because of the premise. I loved the setting and thought the…

Well today I am thrilled to share a little excerpt from her latest book with you guys today! I am hoping to read this one a little while later this fall, while this little excerpt might only be part…
