Review: Double Wolf Dare You (Cadenbury Town #3) by E. Broom

Rating:2.25 🌈 I had really hoped that the third book would see a change in course back to the style and level of storytelling that I found so charming and engaging in The Crazy Bookshop. Then came Where There’s a Witch There’s a Way and what I felt was a breakdown in the narrative which… Continue reading Review: Double Wolf Dare You (Cadenbury Town #3) by E. Broom

Review: Mage Bond by Eden Winters

Rating:4🌈 Mage Bond is Eden Winters’ new fantasy romance that expands into what could be the beginnings of a epic fantasy series. The novel’s first chapters are also the characters upheavals out of their familiar lives, putting them ,as well as the reader , on their own personal journeys to bring them together. We’re introduced… Continue reading Review: Mage Bond by Eden Winters

Review: Hell Breaks Loose (Hellhound Champions, #4) by Macy Blake

Rating: 5🌈 Of the Hellhound Champions series, Hell Breaks Loose (Hellhound Champions, #4) turns out to be my very favorite. It’s also the last of this series, setting up what I expect to be the next stage in this multi series universe, the Familiar Fated Mates series. Or whatever the author will title it. Hell… Continue reading Review: Hell Breaks Loose (Hellhound Champions, #4) by Macy Blake

Review: Silent Knight (Blackhaven Manor #7) by Arden Steele

Rating: 4.5🌈 Silent Knight was totally charming. Low angst, sweet, and huge on holiday spirit. It should make everyone’s holiday seasonal reading list. Simon Russell has been a staple in these stories for a while. But what type of being or who he exactly is has never been stated. He’s always been the sunny guy… Continue reading Review: Silent Knight (Blackhaven Manor #7) by Arden Steele

Review: The Shackles That Hold Us (The Magi Accounts #2) by Michele Notaro

Rating: 4.75 🌈 I sometimes wonder if you can really love a story when you spend so much time cringing in anxiety over the anticipated horrors you know will be visited upon the characters you’re coming to connect with and the found family that’s being constructed. Somehow I’ve found a way. It’s just that great.… Continue reading Review: The Shackles That Hold Us (The Magi Accounts #2) by Michele Notaro

Review: The Botanist’s Apprentice ( Flos Magicae #1) by Arden Powell

Rating: 4.25🌈 The Botanist’s Apprentice is the first in Arden Powell’s Flos Magicae series about a world where magic and magical studies exist, if somewhat uneasily. A slow burn romance builds around the shared love of two mens passion and study of deadly plants. That’s such a fascinating idea that’s gets even more marvelous when… Continue reading Review: The Botanist’s Apprentice ( Flos Magicae #1) by Arden Powell

Review: Night Tricks ( Midnight Magic #1) by Richard Amos

Rating: 2.75 “I considered the Arcana, wondering if it had some healing properties. Decided to not try or suggest such a thing. I didn’t know what was inside me, what it could do. Just because it whispered things at me, we weren’t joined at the hip.” — Night Tricks (Midnight Magic Book 1) by Richard… Continue reading Review: Night Tricks ( Midnight Magic #1) by Richard Amos

Review: So Into You (The PI Guys #2) by S.E. Harmon

Rating 4.5🌈 So Into You (The PI Guys #2) by S.E. Harmon is a book I enjoyed far better than the one preceding it. That one, Stay With Me, had so many flags for me I thought I was at a heavily contested football play at 4th and down at NFL Sunday. The relationship here… Continue reading Review: So Into You (The PI Guys #2) by S.E. Harmon

Review: Finding Home: The Complete Series by Lily Morton

Rating: 5 🌈 The Finding Home, The Complete Series, is a splendid collection. I love being able to read one story right after the other of the men of Chi an Mor, House by the Sea. The first novel is my favorite of the collection. That’s 🔹Oz. It hit all my buttons, as far as… Continue reading Review: Finding Home: The Complete Series by Lily Morton

Review: Bad Habits (Wages of Sin #1) by Onley James and Neve Wilder

Rating: 4🌈 I am reading Onley James’ Necessary Evils series and thought I’d see what else the author had written. Bad Habits, co-written with Neve Wilder, seemed like it was in a similar vein with assassins, suspense, computer hackers, and characters with a connection between them. I enjoyed it but found that while the storyline… Continue reading Review: Bad Habits (Wages of Sin #1) by Onley James and Neve Wilder
