I've heard some palpable hype about this book, and so when it showed up on NetGalley I couldn't resist trying it out for myself! PEER PRESSURE! So thanks to the author, as well as Ace via NetGalley for the review copy. It's a dangerous thing, to choose the lesser of two evils. The war is... Continue Reading →
Review: The Midnight Dunes by Steven Kelliher
Alright, this one took me a million years to get to, because this year got so crazy at some point that I've been sinking more than swimming in books. This... isn't a bad thing (but it can be a little stressful at times, lol)! *glug* So, I never forgot it, but I always had a... Continue Reading →
SPFBO Review: The Carnival of the Night by Nicholas Carey
In which Kristen attends a Carnival, of sorts. π Some call it purgatory, others know it as the in-between, but for those poor souls who are trapped there eternally, it is simply The Carnival β a macabre mockery where night is never-ending, and a sadistic creature known as The Fool reigns unchallenged.Β And The Fool...

SPFBO Review: Dragon Mount by Jennifer M. Eaton
As the friendly neighborhood kissy book expert, this one got sent my way. I don't dislike shifter romances, but some of them can make my eyes roll real hard. I get my silliness guards up pretty early on. So, silliness shields up! And here we go. Things canβt get any worse than being snatched by... Continue Reading →
Review: Phoenix Unbound by Grace Draven
Oh my, this was one of those NetGalleys that I saw and leaped at based on the author alone. I only recently, perhaps in the last few years, started to read Grace Draven's work, and I admittedly haven't read all of it that I'd like to, but 2 of my top 3 favorite romance novels... Continue Reading →
Review: Death March by Phil Tucker
For me, at this point, Phil Tucker is one of those authors whose kickstarter I will immediately throw money at - which is a good description of what happened here. I was backer #2 on this one. Who has faster fingers than me?! WHOOOOO?! π And naturally, seeing that the audiobooks are narrated by Vikas... Continue Reading →
SPFBO Review: The Fire Eye Refugee by Samuel Gately
This one was a pretty good contender in the cover contest for this year. Because, I mean look at it.Β π A spy must face her past or die in exile.Β As lanterns stream up towards the Fire Eye, a woman weaves through the crowd, eyes down. Kay is a fetch, a finder of lost children,... Continue Reading →
Review: Black Arrow by J.P. Ashman
Well. Here we are, Black Arrow. I've been really excited about this one, so when offered an ARC, I couldn't say no. So, thanks to the author for the review copy. π Tragedy rarely visits alone; when one hero falls, more usually follow, such is the nature of war. Whilst Cheung travels Brisance and the...

SPFBO Review: Air and Ash by Alex Lidell
This is the first of my SPFBO books, and I'm delightfully thrilled to say that it was pretty great, marking this as a good start for me. I'm also very tired. More on that later. π Born to privilege. Trained for command. Destined for danger. After a lifetime of training, seventeen-year-old Princess Nile Greysik, a... Continue Reading →
Review: Ravencry by Ed McDonald
Blackwing was one of the books that made it onto my best of 2017 list pretty easily, so naturally I was eagerly anticipating the follow-up. So thanks to the author, as well as Berkley via NetGalley for the review copy. π Four years have passed since Nallβs Engine drove the Deep Kings back across the... Continue Reading →
