(Review #362) I give this simple B&B retelling a 4.5/5 stars. The first chapter of Beauty in Darkness by Elizabeth Briggs is from Princess Rose’s point of view. She’s the second sister of six and apparently her father’s (the king’) least favorite. She practices fae magic she’s not supposed to and what’s worse is theContinue reading “Beauty in Darkness”

Review #361
Crown of Crimson is a sequel of River of Shadows (which I rated a 4.0/5 stars in October). My consensus after the first one was: “I can’t really label this as a romance in any way though it’s marketed as “dark fantasy adult romance.” Yes there were 3ish sex scenes, but there was no relationshipContinue reading “Review #361”

I’m giving this action packed prequel/novella a 4.2/5 stars. See below for my thoughts: Zelma is on a voyage to request help from a neighboring tribe but they’re attacked by massive flying insects monsters. Her betrothed is on this mission but I’m guessing she will fall for someone else on this adventure. Rainer is theContinue reading “Review #359”

This historical fiction stand-alone received a 4.2/5 stars. Tho mediums weren’t witches but the story still had that witchy vibe that I love. Again, basically all men are evil and yucky. I’m at the point now that if a male is truly positive in any book it’s refreshing. There’s (clean) FF romance as a subplotContinue reading “Review #358”

Beastly Secrets by Laura Burton and Jessie Cal is the type of book to read in one sitting. It’s quick, easy, sweet- a feel good, fast paced retelling. I’d give this a 3.97/5 stars lol. Usually I don’t go to the 2nd decibel but I couldn’t quite go to 4.0 on this one. Here’s myContinue reading “Review #354”

I gave this a young adult fantasy a 4.5/5 stars. Here my thoughts while reading: I love the map of Endla, from Spring Ceremony to Harding’s Cottage to the hideout. The prologue about the wolf didn’t make much sense to me so I wasn’t sure what to expect when the story started. Right away weContinue reading “Review #353”

I rated this steampunk historical fantasy a 3.5/5 stars. I’m willing to try more of this genre but needed one at a faster pace. Here’s my live comments while reading: Lucy is our main character and she’s on the way to visit her cousin who is newly married into the infamous Blackwell family. Their manorContinue reading “Review #349”

Queen of Thieves earned a 4.6/5 stars for the historical fiction category. Written with two female protagonist points of view in London -1946- Alice Diamond is a thief among her gang of only women. (First person, present tense, Alice’s voice really shines through in the first few pages. Then, 19 year old Nell is newlyContinue reading “Review #348”
DNF- Booked on a Feeling
This was a DNF but I’ll try again in a few years and see if clicks better. Has anyone read this contemporary romance? What did you think? Here’s a couple notes I took live while reading: Lizzy has a panic attack during her opening statement at her first trial. But best friend, Jack, sweeps in toContinue reading “DNF- Booked on a Feeling”
Review #346
I gave this one a 4.1/5 stars. The visual world building of this book and whole trilogy was absolutely superb. I had so many feelings of outrage in the third book which means even if there were parts I didn’t like, the fact that it created so much emotion out of me is a plus.Continue reading “Review #346”
