The DallerGut Dream Department Store by Miye Lee
I was so very excited when I picked up The DallerGut Dream Department Store by Miye Lee. I thought, yes! This is going to be a great, cozy fantasy. Instead, I was disappointed. The worldbuilding was great. This was such an interesting premise and I really enjoyed the characters. However, this lacked any kind of […]
The Cut by CJ Dotson
I was really looking forward to The Cut by CJ Dotson. The cover gave me the creeps and I love horror stories that involve pregnancy/motherhood, domestic relations, etc. This, instead, was such a letdown and bore. It started really strong with a great opening, but then I quickly lost interest. For me, without a connection […]
The Pucking Wrong Guy by CR Jane
Okay, I’m going to be so real right now. You know how some people will DNF a book for no good reason? The Pucking Wrong Guy by CR Jane irked me for the MMC’s name alone. I know, it’s stupid, but for some reason thinking of a hockey player named Ari, I wanted to vomit. […]
Dark Velvet by Lisa Carlisle
I thought Dark Velvet by Lisa Carlisle sounded interesting and it was available as part of a stuff your kindle event, so I figured why not pick this up. I waited until the perfect time to read, when I was feral for a vampire romance. And then, bam, disappointment. We never see why Savannah and […]
Stranded by Selena Winters
Stranded by Selena Winters had absolutely no plot. I have read 2-sentence horror stories with more substance than this. I picked this up way back during the holiday season because it says it is a dark Christmas novella, but honestly? There was very little Christmas, and very little romance or tension. Ivy breaks up with […]
Firefighter Pegasus by Zoe Chant
While I was indifferent to the first book in the Fire & Rescue Shifters series, I still decided to give this one more shot before discontinuing. I’m glad I did because I LOVED Firefighter Pegasus by Zoe Chant. Pegasus firefighter Chase? Love of my life. He was the best of so many sunshiney tropes. A […]
Scythe and Sparrow by Brynne Weaver
Of the three books in The Ruinous Love Trilogy, Scythe and Sparrow by Brynne Weaver was the one that let me down the most. Butcher and Blackbird was the blueprint. Leather and Lark was so connected to B&B that I really enjoyed it and felt like I was still in the same bubble. Scythe and […]
Unicorns and Honey Cakes by Zoe Chant
This is going to be a short review for Unicorns and Honey Cakes by Zoe Chant. I picked up this audiobook when I was on a Zoe Chant roll and was honestly left a little disappointed. I didn’t realize it would be closed door and, while that would be okay, it also lacked a lot […]
The Lost Village by Camilla Sten
I was really looking forward to The Lost Village by Camilla Sten. It sounded like such a perfect creepy read. Filmmakers out in a remote abandoned village? Creepy things happening? Wonderful, fantastic! Unfortunately, this was such an immense letdown. I think this book was failed by the synopsis and marketing. This was definitely not a […]
Leather and Lark by Brynne Weaver
It took my just over half a year to pick up Leather and Lark by Brynne Weaver, the second in her Ruinous Love trilogy. I was absolutely feral for Butcher and Blackbird and was worried this second book wouldn’t deliver. And while I did really enjoy it, it did hit slightly less than the first. […]
At Dark I Become Loathsome by Eric LaRocca
This is my first horror book of the year and by god, was At Dark I Become Loathsome by Eric LaRocca simply amazing. I read this via audiobook, which added just so much atmosphere and emotion to the text. Andrew Eiden (whom I’d only ever listened to as Teddy Hamilton) was perfect at evoking the […]
Once the Skies Fade by Vanessa Rasanen
When I saw that the FMC for Once the Skies Fade by Vanessa Rasanen was going to be Calla, my heart broke. I loved that she and Brennan found joy together and legitimately fell in love with one another. He found his place and I was happy for them. We even get to have a […]
Until the Stars Fall by Vanessa Rasanen
There is just something I love about fated mates, especially when it’s with someone you didn’t expect and across species. It’s what really hit about Until the Stars Fall by Vanessa Rasanen. This was the definition of slow burn. Almost too slow for me. I kept waiting for human servant Like to finally turn her […]
The Bane Witch by Ava Morgyn
The synopsis for The Bane Witch by Ava Morgyn does not do it justice by a long shot. This was a lot darker than I thought it would be, but I absolutely loved it – mostly. While the story is solid, and the characters feel real, like someone we can connect to, there are definitely […]
Firefighter Dragon by Zoe Chant
I never realize it’s Zoe Chant until I’m a third of the way through, loving it, and then look to see who the author is. Firefighter Dragon by Zoe Chant, I have no idea how I found this but I loved it! It was a super short read that was cute with a bit of […]
