Crescent City #2 Whirlwind. This whole series is a whirlwind. I read book two the same weekend I read book one, literally only stopping to eat and sleep. I was totally wrapped up in it. Fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping the whole time.…
The romantic tension in The Poisoner’s Ring is outstanding! Not only is it a slow burn by modern standards, but it’s also pretty chaste by Victorian standards! The mutual respect and admiration between Mallory and Duncan is evidenced in small…
Mistborn #7, Wax & Wayne #4 I made a mistake when I started reading The Lost Metal. I didn’t go back and re-read the previous Wax & Wayne. I binge-read the Cosmere in the Summer of 2021 and figured I…
Lucas Davenport #17 While reading this instalment in the Lucas Davenport series, I listened to the playlist Lucas was antagonizing over in the last book. Sandford included it on the last page and it was very much an excellent collection…
Crescent City #1 I only stopped to sleep when reading House of Earth and Blood. I’m thankful it was a weekend, and staying up all night had no consequences at work. I thoroughly enjoyed House of Earth and Blood and…
Guy Gavriel Kay’s novels hold a really special place in my heart. A Brightness Long Ago was the first of his that I listened to rather than read. The narrator was fantastic and added terrific depth to the characters. I…
I’ve been struggling with reading lately, finding it hard to get immersed in a story. For a few reasons: This was the first book in the last two weeks that clicked immediately and it was thrilling. I didn’t read the…
Lucas Davenport #16 Oh man, it’s been a minute since I read a John Sandford novel, and Broken Prey is another banger. I forgot how much my pulse races, and my heart pounds. The tensions in his books are so…
This one wasn’t my cup of tea. I don’t usually enjoy unreliable narrators. Not only is Anne unreliable, she’s also exceedingly unlikable. I know it’s on purpose, but I really didn’t like her. I wanted to empathize with her, to…
Flesh and Fire #2 A Light in the Flame took way too long to get to the point, and I’m still trying to determine the point. It’s hard to generate images for a book I’m not into. It just doesn’t…
This book was recommended to me, so I didn’t read the blurb. Going in to books absolutely blind is one of my favourite things to do, especially when it turns out the book is amazing! Bromance Book Club nailed it.…
Legends & Lattes #1 Light, straightforward, and exceedingly well-written, Legends & Lattes wasn’t over-complicated with excessive layers. It had lots of well-developed characters, a good story arc, and a warm, fuzzy ending. It’s definitely a cozy romance with a bit…
Camelot is one of my favorite myths and when I First Met My King kicks off another great addition to the lore. I’ve read so many versions of Camelot, some of my favorites based around Merlin (Hello Mary Stewart!), though…
Corax Trilogy #2 Thanks Netgalley and Orbit for the ARC of Saevus Corax Captures the Castle, I appreciated the chance to read early. This review is my honest opinion. I didn’t realize this was book two of a three book…
Buchanan-Renard book #5 I thought this was going to be a romance between Nate and Kate. I was pretty excited, looking forward to the tension between the detective and the victim. It turned out perfectly and my initial assumption absolutely…
