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 →

Review: We Lie With Death by Devin Madson
Having liked We Ride the Storm quite a bit when I read it last month, when I was offered an ARC of book 2 in the series, I couldn't resist. I even started it almost immediately!

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.

The Amrithi are outcasts; nomads descended of desert spirits, they are coveted and persecuted throughout the Empire for the power in their blood. Mehr is the illegitimate daughter of...
