Review: When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain (The Singing Hills Cycle #2) by Nghi Vo

Rating: 4.5🌈 “THE TAVERN WAS LITTLE more than a waxed canvas tent, tilted towards the south by the wind that rushed headlong down the mountain. The woman who tended the makeshift bar had a thin wispy mustache styled into pointed wings over her lip, and Chih took down her family history while the mammoth scouts… Continue reading Review: When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain (The Singing Hills Cycle #2) by Nghi Vo

Review: The Empress of Salt and Fortune (The Singing Hills Cycle #1) by Nghi Vo

Rating: 4.75🌈 I’m not sure how I came across this incredible author and series. Perhaps it was that amazing cover or the hints of cultural magic mixed with references to strong women within an ancient history fantasy setting in the description. The Hugo award helped. Doesn’t matter. It doesn’t prepare a reader for the sheer… Continue reading Review: The Empress of Salt and Fortune (The Singing Hills Cycle #1) by Nghi Vo

Review: Froggie Went A Sailing (Fairy Tale Retellings) by Sam Burns

Rating 3🌈 I enjoy a retold Fairy Tale. I like a new twist or two if a author can manage it. Especially a fantasy writer who’s work I admire. However, Froggie Went A Sailing (Fairy Tale Retellings) by Sam Burns, a sweet story about a prince who learned via a curse how to be a… Continue reading Review: Froggie Went A Sailing (Fairy Tale Retellings) by Sam Burns

Review: Cat’s Chance in Hell:(Charm City Chronicles Book 2) by Meghan Maslow

Rating: 4.75🌈 It was so easy to fall back into Meghan Maslow’s rich paranormal universe of Charm City Chronicles. Baltimore or if you’re local then it’s “Bawlmer” or “Bawl-ah-mur.” A city so rich in varied cultures, a startling variety of architectural styles, and history that it’s a place to overwhelm your senses. In good and,… Continue reading Review: Cat’s Chance in Hell:(Charm City Chronicles Book 2) by Meghan Maslow

Review: The Dragon King’s Philosopher (The Dragons of Serai Book 3) by Amy Sumida

Rating: 4.5🌈 With The Dragon King’s Philosopher , Amy Sumida expands her universe and basic foundation knowledge her readers understood for The Dragons of Serai series. That new depth alone makes this a fascinating book. Each book picks up directly from the events of the last, the narrative backtracking a scene or two to refresh… Continue reading Review: The Dragon King’s Philosopher (The Dragons of Serai Book 3) by Amy Sumida

Review: Linus (Christmas Sprites #4) by Macy Blake

Rating: 4.5 🌈 Linus finishes out Blakes’ heartwarming Christmas Sprites series and it’s a magical end I’d hoped for. Linus, the last of the Christmas sprite cousins to find a mate, has always thought he’d be the first one to find the perfect one to love and spend the rest of his life with. Instead,… Continue reading Review: Linus (Christmas Sprites #4) by Macy Blake

Review: Devil May Care ( The Reckless Damned Book 2) by Lark Taylor

Rating: 4.5🌈 I enjoyed the first book, but it didn’t really prepare me for the layered narrative and twists I found in Devil May Care, the second book in the Reckless Damned series. Moving onto the tiny, vicious Harlow, the brother often underestimated for his small size and flamboyance, Harlow has moved through lovers like… Continue reading Review: Devil May Care ( The Reckless Damned Book 2) by Lark Taylor
