Rating: 4.5🌈 Utterly charming. Kasia Bacon’s short fantasy stories are succinct well developed windows into her established, ever widening Order Universe. Each has its own unique narrative with a different location, couple, often complete with cultural references and fleeting hints from past events. Always my main issue is they’re over too soon, leaving us wanting… Continue reading Review: Rago: An Order Universe Short Story by Kasia Bacon

Review: Brimstone (a Culinary Creatures novella) by L. Eveland

Then come the blurb. Food, high grade restaurant , cooking, and demon chef. Like that doesn’t confirm something I’ve suspected for years! I… Continue reading Review: Brimstone (a Culinary Creatures novella) by L. Eveland

Rating: 4.5🌈 Rhys Lawless has gotten to be a must read for me so I picked up this latest book not realizing it’s part of a much larger world of two , now three , connected series, set in the Cursed Hearts universe.
