Walk On Earth A Stranger By Rae Carson
Nothing inspires more romantic fervor of the past than that period in American history that is best defined by the term manifest destiny. The idea that the US not only should, but had a divine endorsement to go from coast to coast, drove the desire of my ancestors to go west. (Or, in my case, […]
Banned Book Spotlight: Blood And Chocolate
A few month ago, Random House approached me about featured one of their books that has been banned or challenged in order to bring awareness during banned book week. I jumped at the chance because I feel very strongly that no reader should have to fight in order to have access to any book. Blood […]
The Ruby Circle By Richelle Mead
**This review is spoiler free if you’ve read the series.** I never expected to love this series the way I do, but The Ruby Circle is the end of a journey that I have really enjoyed traveling with these characters. It has been very fun to see both Sydney and Adrian develop as people […]
When By Victoria Laurie
Maddie Flynn can see when you are going to die. Not how, mind you, only when. As with any gift, the burden of it can almost be too much to bear sometimes. It is this way with Maddie as her clients either don’t believe her or become angry with her, but the money she earns […]
Ex Libris Romance (35)
I am not big on paranormal romance, but Love Me To Death was a great combination of sexy times with a story that played on several different mythologies. Out leading man is a hot avenging angel, sent to kill the daughter of a man her hates, while our heroine has no idea what is going […]
Shutter By Courtney Alameda
I am neither a horror fan nor a big urban fantasy reader, but despite that, Shutter really worked for me. From the first pages, you are pulled into Micheline’s world, which is a pseudo-military world full of danger, constant training, and the duty to protect. In Shutter’s world, the existence of supernatural beings, from ghosts […]
Rogue Wave By Jennifer Donnelly
Rogue Wave was a fun expansion of the story and detailed world building that was started in book one, Deep Blue. There were ghosts, dragons, evil monsters, and diabolical political plots, just t name a few things. The story switched between the perspectives all of the mermaids so that the reader could really see what […]
Dead Of Winter By Kresley Cole
Although this really isn’t my typical reading, The Arcana Chronicles has been a series that I am surprised, and pleased, to say that I really enjoy. After the cliffie at the end of book two, I was eager to dive in and see what terrible things Evie and the gang would have to endure. Spoiler […]
Witchrise By Victoria Lamb
This last installment of the Tudor Witch Trilogy combines history with a compelling story about witchcraft, romance, and a character that is pure evil and, of course, won’t die. Meg is walking a very fine line, trying to serve a young Elizabeth while also trying not to be caught practicing witchcraft. The Spanish Inquisition […]
