Review: The Ex Hex (Ex Hex #1) by Erin Sterling
This book I snagged on a whim as my Book of the Month pick for October. It sounded like funny fluff reading and even if I haven’t been a fan of Erin Sterling AKA Rachel Hawkins, I was still excited to read something a little funny and distracting for the bewitching season. And yes I know that it is now November and I am just now getting around to posting my review of this one. Things have been a little crazy so while I did read this one back in October my review calendar has been pretty full so here we are. So what exactly attracted to me to this…

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: A Heart of Blood and Ashes (A Gathering of Dragons #1) by Milla Vane
Say hello to my longest read of the year. Not necessarily the longest book in terms of pages, but rather in terms of how long it took me to actually read this one! I started this one at the beginning of July people and here it is September and I am just now finishing it! In fact I finished it last week and to be honest that shocked me. I fully expected to finish this book in only a few sittings and sadly I just didn’t But there are a couple of reasons for that—I had a lot of other books going and this one wasn’t a partner review so…

Review: The Enforcer Enigma (San Andreas Shifters #3) by Gail Carriger
Last month I had the pleasure of reading one Gail Carriger’s latest books and this month I was able to squeeze this one in. As you might recall, I love her books because her world building is so rich and detailed with so many fun characters that stand out and that I want to read about! This series has been a fun read and focuses on shifters and werewolves which normally aren’t really my fav but I love Carriger and she never disappoints!

Review: Defy or Defend (Delightfully Deadly #2) by Gail Carriger
If there is one author that I have always had good luck reading—-it’s Gail Carriger. I discovered her Parasol Protectorate series years ago and fell head over heels in love with it. Since then I have read may of her other spin off novels and series most set in the same world as the Parasol Protectorate series. I adore her spunky and sassy characters that make up her world but I also love that many of her characters are LGBTQ, while others are not. She isn’t afraid to write bold characters and doesn’t conform to traditional gender roles in her novels which I love. I also know that whenever I…

Review: Fireborn (Born Prophecy #1) by Katie MacAlister
This author is a new to me author, but she has written a number of other series that are paranomal romances. I was approached about reading her new release in this series, Starborn, and I wasn’t sure that it would work as a standalone so I asked to read the first book in the series first which was this one, Fireborn. Honestly I didn’t really know what to expect, I just knew that I liked the sound of Starborn and wanted to read it, but knew that in many fantasy books it’s difficult to jump around so I decided to start here. At just under 300 pages, this one was…

Special Feature: Things She’s Seen (Northern Circle Coven #2) by Pat Esden
We are quickly approaching Halloween and if you guys are anything like me, your TBR stack for October is probably full of stories about vampires, witches, and ghosts! Are you still trying to sneak in another paranormal or suspense read before the big day? Well if you are then look no further than this fun paranormal witchy book! I know it’s the second in a series, but from what I have heard you can pick it up as a stand alone! It’s also been getting rave reviews and I am thrilled to be able to share it with you guys! With it coming in at just over 300 pages, it’s…

Review: The 5th Gender (Tinkered Stars Mystery) by Gail Carriger
As many of you know, I have been a long time fan of Gail Carriger. She is a consistently accomplished writer with unique and interesting books that I always seem to find myself burning the midnight oil to read. I am not a huge sci-fi fan. I don’t read a lot of it nor do I watch any sci fi. I mean I liked the idea of it, but it’s just not my genre at all. So when Carriger asked if I wanted to review this one…..I hesitated. But I did agree to read it based on the fact that she has always seemed to win me over no matter…

Review: The Spectral City (Spectral City #1) by Leanna Renee Hieber
I discovered Leanna Renee Hieber way back in 2011 when I read one of her early books. I saw it in a local used book store and randomly picked it up. When I got home I started reading and couldn’t put it down. I loved the romance and the paranormal and her overall storytelling and because of that first book in the Strangely Beautiful series, I fell in love with this author. She writes a spicy romance with great brooding heroes so I was thrilled to read this new book. Her name is Eve Whitby, gifted medium and spearhead of The Ghost Precinct. When most women are traveling in a…

Review: The Omega Objection (San Andreas Shifters #2) by G.L. Carriger
I’ve said it before and I will say it again, I have been a fan of Gail Carriger for at least the last seven years. I fell in love with her writing and quirky humor with Soulless, the first in The Parasol Protectorate series and from there it was all history! Her world building and character development is on point and I love that she writes diverse stories. I have read a few of her LGBTQ novels and loved how beautifully she portrays romance between people, not just romance between man and woman—-or werewolf and a soulless. I don’t read a ton of LGBTQ romances or novels for that matter, but…
