Quickie Book Review – Blood From A Silver Cross by E.S. Moore

Blood from a Silver Cross by E.S. Moore My rating: 4 of 5 stars I need to preface this review by stating the obvious– I should have read the prior books in the series first. With that being said, I wasn’t too lost starting this one, and found my footing relatively quickly. Overall, I like […]

Quickie Book Review – The Undiscovered Goddess by Michelle Colston

The Undiscovered Goddess by Michelle Colston My rating: 4 of 5 stars A novel that reads like a funny, inspiring memoir — I was a tad confused in the beginning, but once I stopped questioning if this book was fiction or not, and just got into it, I really enjoyed it. One might say that […]

Quickie Book Review – Two to Tango by Mimi Strong

Two to Tango by Mimi Strong My rating: 5 of 5 stars It’s beginning to become a pattern… Ms. Strong writes book after book that I just fall into and love. This one was no different. Her characters are complex and uber-well done. In fact, it’s one of my favorite things about the stories Strong […]

Quickie Book Review – Witchstruck by Victoria Lamb

Witchstruck by Victoria Lamb My rating: 5 of 5 stars All in all, Witchstruck was a compelling, well-written YA novel about a young witch in Tudor England. The historical aspects rang true and were quite captivating to fall into, and while I liked some of the characters more than others, as a whole the cast […]

Quickie Book Review – Forewarning by Kate Wyland

Forewarning by Kate Wyland My rating: 4 of 5 stars As a long-time horse fanatic, I was pleased to read a book in which the author is just as knowledgeable about horses (and didn’t just do a lot of research). Aside from the great horsey-backdrop, Forewarning is a complex, well-written mystery with plenty of richly […]

Quickie Book Review – Tragic by J.A. Huss

Tragic by J.A. Huss My rating: 5 of 5 stars I really liked this novel and I can’t wait to get my hands on the second book in the series. The main characters are complex and cloaked in a bit of personal back-story, some of which should make for interesting moments in future books. Tragic […]

Quickie Book Review – Starfire by Mimi Strong (Peaches Monroe series #3)

Starfire by Mimi Strong My rating: 5 of 5 stars Love, love, love this series… and even though this last book brought things to an end, I can’t think of a better close-of-a-series. The heat level is right up there with solar flares and nuclear explosions, the dialog is always pitch perfect, and the supporting […]

Quickie Book Review – Finding Cinderella by Colleen Hoover

Finding Cinderella by Colleen Hoover My rating: 5 of 5 stars Once again, I was knocked flat on my tail by another one of Colleen Hoover’s books. Dang, that woman can write! I don’t even know how to explain it… the characters are rich and funny (snarky, even) and complex and emotional. Ms. Hoover breathes […]

Quickie Book Review – Playing with Fire by C.J. Archer

Playing With Fire by C.J. Archer My rating: 5 of 5 stars Ms. Archer sure does have a way of setting the page alight with heat and chemistry… and she came up with an ingenious way to keep the two lovebirds apart for the time being. Add in a cast of complex characters, a few […]

Quickie Book Review – One More Body by Josh Stallings

One More Body by Josh Stallings My rating: 5 of 5 stars Flabbergasted. Sated. Speechless. Once again, I am in awe of the tale spun by the Josh Stallings in this third (and final?) book of this series. The man is a flipping genius. The kind of genius that other writers would kill to be. […]
