A good read with consistent pace and a decent romance
Review of Closeness by YL Wigman This was a pretty good read. I wasn’t blown away by it, but it kept my attention and I enjoyed it. It had a good consistent pace, some interesting storytelling, and a decent romance. This is my second book by Wigman and this was a much better fit for […]
A sweet slow-burn romance involving a biracial couple
Review of Breaking Out by Lise MacTague I was reading the author’s bio before getting started on this novel and thinking, why have I never read her before? The third sentence of the bio is: “Previous to this, she has written space opera, steampunk, and paranormal urban fantasy”. Seriously? How did that happen? “Space opera, […]
A fun reflection on right and wrong… with zombies
Review of Bigger Monsters by Eliza Andrews I may not be ready for another pandemic book but it turns out I was more than ready for a post-pandemic apocalypse-with-zombies story. Because, you know, things can always get worse and books, like nightmares, are a good way of exorcising those fears. Violently torn away from the […]
Passion flares at Penchant Castle
Review of Modern English by Rachel Spangler God help whoever’d tried to make off with this. She gave a quick flick of her wrist and relished the whoosh the metal made as it slashed the air. “Unhand the sword,” a firm voice ordered from behind her. Quite the opposite of the command, she whirled, arm at […]
Emotional journey from friendship to love
Review of The One To Hold Your Hand by Erica Lee My second novel by Erica Lee is a wonderful story about friendship, family, love, illness, loss and so much more. It is an entertaining, beautiful, joyful, sometimes sad, and painful journey of two women who met when they were seven years old. Reese and […]
A good ending to the Tangle Valley series
Review of What a Tangled Web by Melissa Brayden This was a good ending to the series. The first book is still my clear favorite but this was a nice step-up from book 2 Two to Tangle, which I struggled with. Book 2 was still a good read but it was my lowest-rated Brayden book […]
Honey Girl was on my list for the most anticipated books of 2021
Review of Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers This book! Honey Girl was on my list for the most anticipated books of 2021. When I found out I was accepted for a review copy, I could not have been happier. I went into this book with a lot of high expectations and I’m happy to say […]
A promising debut but I was expecting a bit more
Review of The Delicate Things we Make by Milena McKay I’ve been hearing good things about this book so I’ve decided to drop everything else and read it. This is McKay’s debut novel just published last month (January 2021) and she has already published a second book, in this case, a novella, called The Perfect […]
A good entertaining finale to The Cushing-Nevada Chronicles
Review of You, Me and the Sunken Treasure by Georgette Kaplan A good entertaining read. While this was not my favorite book of the series, it still was a fun read like always. This is the third and looks to be finale book in The Cushing-Nevada Chronicles. There was one small storyline that I could […]
