Review: Tournament of Losers by Megan Derr
Alright, I've been in a really romancey mood lately. A really romancey mood with a really heaping scoop of M/M on top of it.

Review: Grim Solace by Ben Galley
I really quite enjoyed Chasing Graves. I even preordered the sequel... and then, of course, didn't get a chance to read it until now. Le sigh. And suddenly, things fell into place and I had not just inclination to read it, but time as well! *gasp!* Stolen from the widow’s clutches, master thief and ghost... Continue Reading →

SPFBO Review: We Ride the Storm by Devin Madson
Real talk: this has been on my TBR since... pretty much since it was released. It got back burnered a little bit as I waded through my admittedly jenga-like tower of review requests, and then SPFBO came along and was like hey, read this. Well okay SPFBO, whatever you say. War built the Kisian Empire... Continue Reading →

Moving right along with my finalist reviews! This one I decided to wait on an audible credit for, as I've found a lot more time for audiobooks lately than print books.
