After finishing the first Spider Heist novel, which was the first ever Jason Kasper book that I've read (you can read my review of the first book here, and of the second here), I said that I would read his first series, American Mercenary. Jason warned me that it wouldn't be like the "family friendly"... Continue Reading →
Some Christmas favourites, part 1
Are you the type of reader who has books for every festive holiday? I know some who need specific books for Halloween, summer, and, most importantly, Christmas. I personally don't have either of the first two (although I admit that it is difficult for me to read about winter in the summer), but when it... Continue Reading →
Magical Midlife Invasion – Another Breene homerun
Again, don't be fooled by the lateness of my review. With the virtual PTMs (parent-teacher meetings), I had my work doubled last week, which means that it did take me a whole five days to read K.F. Breene's latest, and it seriously was because I lacked time. At night, I was so knackered that I... Continue Reading →
Stealing Time – Bittersweet conclusion
When Christine Gael announced that Stealing Time, the last of her Crow's Feet Coven trilogy, was mere days from releasing, I hurried to pre-order it, because I was dying to know how this Paranormal Women's Fiction series would end. Little did I expect that I would end up winning a copy of the book. (Thanks... Continue Reading →
A Halloween special – Anna and the Apocalypse
Happy Halloween, readers! I don't know about you, but I like to read one or a few books related to a holiday when its time nears. Although I admit that this year is a little different, since I haven't read anything Halloween related due to lack of time. Then again, shifters count, do they? That... Continue Reading →
A Dash of Destiny – Rory shines bright (as he deserved)
A new book arriving on my Kindle in the morning, when I wake up, is always reason to be happy and excited. If this new book is a Warlocks MacGregor, it is even more cause to celebrate. This Tuesday, it was Rory's story, A Dash of Destiny, which had arrived on my Kindle just before... Continue Reading →
Spellcasting with a Chance of Spirits – For the laughs, the love, and Burgess
It was a long almost six months between the release of Hexing with a Chance of Tornadoes (of which you can read my review here) and that of Spellcasting with a Chance of Spirits, the third of Mandy M. Roth's Grimm Cove series. However, just like last time, Roth's book was worth the wait, as... Continue Reading →
Unmasqued – Don’t stop at the genre
Until last weekend, I had never read a book by Colleen Gleason, or by Colette Gale, her erotica pen name. In truth, I must've heard of Gleason a few times before, but no one had ever recommended one of her books to me, so when I read her posts in an author's invitation on her... Continue Reading →
Bewitched – Literally
It took seven long months to know the whys and whethers of what Ruthie had done, which concluded Betwixt, the first of Darynda Jones's Betwixt and Between series. A long time, you will say, and I will definitely agree, because I was dying to know what happens to Defiance and the gang. When Bewitched came... Continue Reading →
Any Luck At All – A good first impression
You only get one chance to make a good first impression. This saying is usually applied to people, but can also be applied to books, especially the first of a series. The first book, and how it is received by the readers, will make it or break it. It was the challenge that awaited Any... Continue Reading →
Ink – We all need an Ox
With all the work I am swamped in, what with planning lessons and teaching full time, I am not supposed to have time to read a full novel in two days during the week. Yet, this is exactly what I did with Elizabeth Hunter's Ink, a standalone contemporary romance. Because it was that good! Fine,... Continue Reading →
The Elemental Mysteries – An utter and complete must
First of all, I cannot apologise for not posting as much and as often as I did over the last few months. Work does take up most of my time (as it should) and I'm having so much fun teaching my first-graders that nobody can fault me for reading a little (or a lot) less... Continue Reading →
