I’ve read a bunch of books since May that were more smut than plot, so here’s a series of mini-reviews in the order I read them: 11 Hours by Octavia Jensen Briella is a paralegal in a fancy-schmancy law firm. She has an absolute hate/hate relationship with Harrison, one of the firm’s attorneys. One day, while everyone else is at the holiday party, they are working late and get stuck in an elevator together. For ELEVEN HOURS. Which is cuckoo-bananas. What kind of building doesn’t […]

If Mr. Darcy was a Vampire

My Roommate is a Vampire by Jenna Levine

by 3 Comments

Cassie is a starving artist. She juggles 2 jobs just to barely make ends meet, so when she sees an ad for a huge apartment with crazy-cheap rent, she jumps at the opportunity, even if she is extremely suspicious of the deal. She should be. Turns out her roommate is a 300-year-old vampire who has just woken up from a 100-year hibernation and he is completely clueless about the modern world. Frederick J. Fitzwilliam dresses like an Austen character and he has no idea how […]

Darling it’s Better Down Where it’s Wetter, Take it From Me

A Duet With The Siren Duke by Elise Kova

by Leave a Comment

Victoria is in a terrible, shitty, no-good marriage. Her husband charmed her when she was very young and impressionable and persuaded her to move to an island in the middle of freaking nowhere and become his assistant lighthouse keeper. Also to cook and clean and obey his every little whim. Basically, he sucks. He sucks so bad that I have forgotten his name and I can’t be bothered to go look it up. One night, Victoria decided to run away. Except they are on an […]

Audiobooks, take me away!

Thank You For Listening by Julia Whelan

by Leave a Comment

A hundred years or so ago, I had an office job I hated that also had a horribly long commute. Desperate for entertainment, I started checking audiobooks out of the library. Suddenly my 45-minute drive was filled with stories and the drive didn’t feel nearly as long as it was. Audiobooks have come a long way since 2007. Now there are multi-cast recordings, graphic audio adaptations with sound effects, and celebrity memoirs narrated by the actual celebrities who wrote them. Julia Whelan is a giant […]

Sara Cate can do no wrong for me

The Anti-Hero by Sara Cate

by Leave a Comment

Adam Goode is the eldest son of the most prominent preacher in Austin. Think Joel Osteen’s level of mega-church. Adam writes sermons for his father and is seen by everyone as his future successor. All of this blows up in his face, however, when he finds out his father is a member and part owner of a local sex club. Adam then decides to stop trying to be the “good boy” everyone sees him as, and starts filming sex tapes with a tattoed, pink-haired girl […]

I Will Read Anything With Dragons!

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

by Leave a Comment

Fourth Wing is the story of Violet Sorrengail, a cadet in the Basgiath War College. She was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, but her mother, a general, decided that she had to enter the Rider Quadrant. DRAGON RIDERS? I AM SO IN! A lot of Cadets die during the training, and Violet isn’t physically up to a lot of the challenges, because she has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). That is never explicitly stated in the book, but a close friend of mine has it, so […]
