Rating: 4.75 🌈 Malicious Midpoint is the third of Alice Winters’ Demon Magic series and it’s my favorite to date. It’s a great mixture of the author’s signature snarky dialogue, quirky likable characters, which is combined with a magically twisted dark plot that’s pulled from all the previous novels. One that unexpectedly eschews the expectations… Continue reading Review: Malicious Midpoint (Demon Magic #3) by Alice Winters

Has been for years since he realized he saw Brant as more than his BFF’s younger brother. So the question here? That’s Brant not Kellen. So yep, a definite… Continue reading Review: Keeping Kellen (Keeping Him #2) by Amy Aislin
