CBR 15 Bingo – Guide

Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert

by Leave a Comment

I have read Talia Hibbert’s Brown Sisters trilogy and found it adorable, but that was very much an adult series. I was interested to see what she would do with a YA book, so when I saw the CBR Book Club was reading this, I picked up a copy. Bradley and Celine were childhood best friends. Then he got popular, and she got…weird. He wanted to make friends and join the soccer team and she wanted to make a podcast about conspiracy theories. Now they […]

CBR 15: North America – Sexy Hockey Smut

Pucking Wild by Emily Rath

by Leave a Comment

ARC Review: I am an absolute ho for Miss Emily Rath’s writing, so when she announced the sign up for ARC readers, I may have shoved my husband away so I could fill out the form ASAP. She manages to take what would be your average rom-com and turn it into something truly special. Her books are long, but in the best way, because you never want to leave her characters. This is the second book in the Jacksonville Rays series about a brand-new Hockey […]

The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson

The Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson

***Spoilers for the first book in the series*** ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ The Well of Ascension: I loved the first book in this series, The Final Empire. I love a well-done Fantasy heist, and I dearly loved the characters, so I was eager to get into the second book. This was a completely different beast. The Well of Ascension is much more focused on the politics of rule, especially after the end of a tyrant. Kelsior’s Crew has installed Elend Venture, the young political […]

The Kraken's Sacrifice by Katee Robert

by 1 Comment

Yeah, not only am I back on my Monster Smut bullshit, but it’s Katee Robert Monster Smut at that! This is the second book in the A Deal with a Demon series, where human women make a deal with a demon (duh!) to get whatever they want after they serve seven years in the demon realm. In this case, the women are auctioned off to the half-human lords of the different monster realms. They are not allowed to be harmed or coerced into doing anything […]

Circe by Madeline Miller

by 1 Comment

I was very late to the party on this one, but I’m sure glad I was invited. I heard how good this book was for a few years, but for one reason or another, I never got around to it. I did read The Song of Achilles last year and loved it, but I didn’t want to dive into Circe immediately afterwards. Achilles is HEARTBREAKING and I needed a breather. When I was a kid, I was OBSESSED with Greek Mythology, so the story of […]
