Scarlet Angel by S.T. Abby

Again, spoilers for books 1 and 2 of the series. I finished Scarlet Angel by S.T. Abby and started reading the next book in the series before writing my review. It was a serious fuck-up because all I can do right now is that about information I just learned in the next installment which, spoiler […]

Sidetracked by S.T. Abby

Spoilers for the first book in the series. After reading the first book in the Mindf*ck series, I picked up Sidetracked by S.T. Abby (along with the rest of the books in this series.) I devoured this book almost immediately and loved it to the point that I had to get up and walk around […]

The Risk by S.T. Abby

Who would have thought a book with a cover that looks like it does, a nom de plume of stabby, and the concept of a serial killer falling for an obi profiler would be SO GOOD! The Risk by S.T. Abby was such a good quick read. I’ve already purchased the rest of the series […]

Devious Lies by Parker S Huntington

I got influenced. I got got by TikTok. I saw a snippet of Devious Lies by Parker S Huntington and thought well, this sounds right up my alley. And it was! I went straight to Amazon, bought the ebook, and spent five hours reading it from start to finish. Who needs sleep when hate sex […]

1000 Storms by Tony Sandoval

I previously read Watersnakes by Tony Sandoval, and loved the artwork. When I was invited to read 1000 Storms, I was excited! I couldn’t wait to see the new adventures and gorgeous illustrations. The artwork is gorgeous, which is expected. Beautiful and ethereal with a bordering menacing darkness. Its ephemeral nature complements the narrative beautifully […]

Los peligros de fumar en la cama by Mariana Enríquez

One of my goals in 2023 was to start reading books in Spanish instead of just English. I’m bilingual, and I’ve tried reading long form Spanish fiction before, but never really stuck with it. I tried reading Fellowship of the Ring in Spanish thinking it would be easier because I know FOTR so it would […]

A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik

This was a great read that I’m upset I didn’t get to earlier! I did read A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik as an audiobook and golly Anisha Dadia is SUCH a great narrator. She gave so much emotion for each of the characters and with just the slightest change in tone or inflection, you knew who was speaking, you know their mood, you knew the situation. I think reading this as an audiobook really changed and elevated my experience.

Fool Moon by Jim Butcher

Would I recommend? Yes, and the series gets better! Again, this is a ‘re-read’ as I listened to the audiobook for the first time. Marsters continues to be the best voice for Harry Dresden and I can only picture him now as the lanky, cantankerous wizard. Onto the book itself! Fool Moon is a good […]

Sweet, Young, & Worried by Blythe Baird

I don’t typically read or look into books of poetry, and I would never have found Sweet, Young, & Worried if I had not stumbled across it at a local bookstore. It’s short but poignant. There were a few poems that really cut through me, while a few others I fear I aged out of […]

The Loop by Jeremy Robert Johnson

I went into The Loop by Jeremy Robert Johnson not really knowing what to expect. I’ve never watched or read World War Z, and when it comes to Stranger Things, I’ve only watched the first three episodes of the first season. Still, the synopsis sounded interesting and as it is the Halloween season, I thought […]

The Resurrectionist of Caligo by Wendy Trimboli, Alicia Zaloga

I was as enamored by The Resurrectionist of Caligo by Wendy Trimboli and Alicia Zaloga as I thought I would be when I picked this up. I wasn’t blown away and I wasn’t underwhelmed. It simply hit the exactly spot that needed itching! There was adventure, body-snatching, science, and interpersonal drama. Characters were solid and […]

Rule by Ellen Goodlett

Three sisters, three secrets, one throne – that is the hook and premise for Rule by Ellen Goodlett. I wanted to fall in love with this story, but found it hard. The start is slow, thought not for lack of story. We learn of each sister’s upbringing and then they’re in court and it just […]

Frostblood by Elly Blake

I remember there being hype over Frostblood by Elly Blake, and the summary peaked my interest, so I picked up the ebook from my library and thought I’d give it a go. It surpassed my expectations and I’m actually really interested in continuing the series!  Blake’s world is really interesting, The concept is deceptively simple. […]

Angelbound by Christina Bauer

I really enjoyed it! Bauer does a great job of getting immersing readers in the world without bogging the story down. We learn as we read, which is fantastic. The pacing is steady and the characters fun. Myla is a great protagonist, full of spark, energy, and of course, wrath. Being a quasi demon whose […]

Gilded Cage by Vic James

All I can say is I need the second book ASAP! Gilded Cage by Vic James is an impressive first look into a new, grim world that feels oddly familiar and appropriate given the current state of affairs in the world. Society is broken up into the haves and the have-nots, as those with special […]
