Quickie Book Review – Eternal Night by Carina Adly MacKenzie
Eternal Night by Carina Adly MacKenzie My rating: 5 of 5 stars What if the ancient Gods did exist… and what if they’re still alive, yet powerless after hundreds of years of nobody believing in them? Then you’d end up with this novel. I especially loved the interactions between the handful of Gods left. Eons […]

Quickie Book Review – Eternal Starling by Angela Corbett
Eternal Starling by Angela Corbett My rating: 5 of 5 stars First, I adored the premise behind this first book of a series. How past lives could potentially influence and come back to bite a gal in her present life… it’s just so intriguing. And the way that the author sets everything up with finesse […]

Quickie Book Reveiw – Mistress of Night and Dawn by Vina Jackson
Mistress of Night and Dawn by Vina Jackson My rating: 5 of 5 stars In the vein of The Sleeping Beauty trilogy (Anne Rice writing as A.N.

Quickie Book Review – Where There’s Smoke by Jodi Picoult
Where There’s Smoke by Jodi Picoult My rating: 3 of 5 stars Interesting short read… I’m a huge fan of Picoult’s, but I wasn’t completely won over by this novella. It needed more, ending at a place where nothing felt resolved and everything is still up in the air. Hopefully, it’s supposed to be a […]

Quickie Book Review – Sadie the Sadist by Zane’ Sachs
Sadie the Sadist: X-tremely Black Humor/Horror by Zané Sachs My rating: 5 of 5 stars Dark and Twisty… I must say, given the grisly subject matter, I’m not sure if I should admit publicly how much I loved this novel. It’s funny, twisted and so sanely-insane that I’m starting to question my own sanity on […]

Quickie Book Review – Clipped Wings by Helena Hunting
Clipped Wings by Helena Hunting My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars Well, there were parts of this book that I really, really, liked. And others not-so-much. Hayden was done very well and he was definitely my favorite part of the book. There was a time or two where I thought he did or said something […]

Quickie Book Review – Caged Wolf by S.M. Reine
Caged Wolf by S.M. Reine My rating: 5 of 5 stars Love, love, loved this book. I’ve read other kick-ass books by Reine in the past and I do think this one might just be my favorite so far. The setting is so well done, I could practically feel the gritty desolation on my skin. […]
