Review: Bannockburn Binding by Tracy Cooper-Posey

Bannockburn Binding

Review: Enslaved by a Viking by Delilah Devlin

Enslaved by a Viking

Enslaved by a Viking is one of those books that you do not read in public. If you do, you are doomed to sit there with a flaming red face and giggle every 3 minutes or so. It is an erotic fantasy book that makes no apologies for what it is! This book was my [...]

Review: Dearly, Departed by Lia Habel

Dearly, Departed

This book was a first in many ways for me. It was my first book in the steampunk genre, which seems to have become all the rage. It was my first zombie and my first modern horror novel. And it was the first YA book I’ve read since being a YA myself. I hadn’t been [...]

Review + Giveaway: Dead Iron by Devon Monk

Dead Iron (Age of Steam #1)

I was pretty excited to start this book. I liked that the author set the story in a Western environment and that the back cover indicated that the main character would be a guy. I’ve been trying to read more books with guys as the main character. They’re not quite as easy to find in [...]

Review: Department 19 by Will Hill

It’s not very often that I read a book labeled as YA. I dislike the drama and love triangles that seem to be a requirement of them. But a Goodreads friend of mine read this book and loved it so much that I became intrigued. I snatched it up when it was offered for review, [...]

Review + Giveaway: Phoenix Rising by Pip Ballantine and Tee Morris

It’s not often that I read a book with quite this dynamic. The heroine is the daring, dynamic one in the investigating duo. The hero is the adorably proper and nerdy Archivist who finds his combustible new partner a trial to him. Eliza and Wellington have both become rather set in their roles. When they [...]
