Love in the stars

Hunt the Stars by Jessie Mihalik

Polaris Rising by Jessie Mihalik

December 30, 2022 by teresaelectro 1 Comment

I’ve heard only great things about Jessie Mihalik’s books from Cannonball Read. I already had Polaris Rising on my shelf, but I read Hunt the Stars first. Since it was selected by The Ripped Bodice’s fantasy romance book club, it got moved into the rotation. The first Starlight’s Shadow book introduces us to Tavi and her space crew. They are space war veterans who use their skills now as bounty hunters. The war may be over with the Valoffs. However, most humans don’t trust this […]

A late-night romance adventure in Vegas

Partners in Crime by Alisha Rai

December 29, 2022 by teresaelectro 2 Comments

I was lucky to read an ARC of Alisha Rai’s Partners in Crime. My friend Sarah also demanded I read it. She wanted someone to gush about it with before the release. After I read Emmalita’s rave review, I simply had to read it ASAP. It was a tough ask because I have a TBR mountain of books in my house. I did manage to read it before hosting the author’s LA launch event at The Ripped Bodice. We meet the beautiful Mira as she […]

The time-travel queer romance that stole my heart.

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

She switched majors and moved around, but feels like New York is meant for her. The book begins with August interviewing for an apartment. Her potential roommates are an intriguing couple, Myla and Niko. Niko is a psychic. Myla is a mixed-media artist. The third roommate Wes comes later, but we meet […]

My first Nora Roberts

Dance Upon the Air by Nora Roberts

December 29, 2022 by teresaelectro 2 Comments

I’ve been collecting Nora Roberts’s novels for a few years. My first acquisition was Dance Upon the Air, the first in the Three Sisters Island trilogy. As a lover of romance and witchy protagonists, I knew I’d love it. We meet Nell as she moves to the Three Sisters island. She isn’t sure how she ended up here. It’s almost like she was drawn to the place. The book toys whether this was magic or coincidence. All she wants is a fresh start after a mysterious […]

The Heart Principle grabbed mine and didn’t let go

The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang

December 29, 2022 by teresaelectro 4 Comments

Helen Hoang’s The Heart Principle was everything I wanted and more. Our heroine Anna Sun is going through it. She is a violinist stuck in a loop after a performance video goes viral on YouTube. With every practice session, she wants to replicate that moment with precision. She ends up burned out and unable to finish the song. She is attempting therapy to find a breakthrough. Later that day, her boyfriend asks to “see other people” as an excuse to know that he’s ready to […]

My love for Seanan McGuire continues

Late Eclipses by Seanan McGuire

Discount Armageddon by Seanan McGuire

December 29, 2022 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I’m slowly working my way through Seanan McGuire’s body of work. Her books are exactly the kind of urban fantasy I love. She has a way of writing witty heroines who put their lives on the line for others. I decided to put the InCryptid series into the rotation. I bought the first book on audiobook on sale ages ago. I also have been desperate to read novels I already own. It was a win-win. Discount Armageddon introduces us to Verity Price. She comes from a long […]
