Quickie Book Review – Awakened by Brenda K. Davies
Awakened by Brenda K. Davies My rating: 4 of 5 stars Reminiscent of Beautiful Disaster (but with Vampires) this book captivated me almost from the get-go. I even recommended it to a friend the very next day, as we have similar tastes in paranormal books. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of [...]

Quickie Book Review – Give Me by L.K. Rigel
Give Me: A Tale of Wyrd and Fae by L.K. Rigel My rating: 5 of 5 stars I have so many good things to say about this book. First, it’s a very well written novel and the intricate weaving of a couple of timelines was done very well. The characters, while not always likeable, rang [...]

Book Review – Life is But A Dream: On the Lake by Cheryl Shireman
Life is But a Dream: On the Lake by Cheryl Shireman My rating: 5 of 5 stars It’s not everyday that a book can be depressing one minute and funny the next. Or suspenseful. Or both. But this novel manages to run the gamut of human emotions, much like real life. I found the writing [...]

Book Review – Rosy by Suzanne Tyrpak
Rosy by Suzanne Tyrpak My rating: 5 of 5 stars As a fan of author Suzanne Tyrpak’s other novels (both which are more historical in nature) I was pleased to discover that she writes just as well no matter the time period or sub-genre of the book. Not every author can pull of a novel [...]

Book Review – Wool by Hugh Howey
Wool by Hugh Howey My rating: 5 of 5 stars Now I see what all the fuss is about! Not only is the writing smooth-as-butter flawless, but the premise of Wool is just flipping genius. I totally didn’t see the ending, or the final ending, coming and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. My [...]

Book Review – Death’s Hand by S.M. Reine
Death’s Hand by S. M. Reine My rating: 4 of 5 stars Like my review for other books in this series, I loved the non-stop, pulse-pounding action in this book. The characters are flawed (human, working on their own issues and emotions)and compelling, the author’s knowledge of weaponry and fight scenarios is A+ and I [...]

Book Review – Spell Checked by C. G. Powell
Spell Checked by C.G. Powell My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book was clearly a sleeper– I picked it up on a whim, half expecting to feel “meh” about it after I read it. Boy, was I wrong. I loved the star-cross lover angle, the historical details, the way the whole motley lot of … Continue reading »
