The Fireborne Blade by Charlotte Bond

The Bloodless Princes by Charlotte Bond

by Leave a Comment

I came across The Fireborne Blade at the library, and between it being a novella (tis the season (IYKYK) lol) and having a dragon on the cover, I took a closer look. I’m so glad I picked this up, and between picking it up and starting it, I swung by the library again and happened to see the sequel, The Bloodless Princes (it was one of those “why is this look familiar? Oh! Same series!” moments). The Fireborne Blade does a lot of typical dragon […]

Even More Hillbilly Fantasy!

Fae Lords of Oklahoma by Ferrett Steinmetz

by 2 Comments

Daisy and Wild-Eye are back and getting into trouble once more! Now a few months after the events of Dragon Kings of Oklahoma, baby dragon Ace is tired of being hidden away and is clamoring to live in town. Which is a bad idea, because Ace isn’t even supposed to be in Oklahoma, but rather back in Germany where she’s a protected species. Meanwhile, Daisy’s Druid mother has swept back into town and is demanding that Daisy come with her to fully train as a Druid. Fae […]

The Light, The Dark, and The Dragon

Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha

by Leave a Comment

Consort of Fire was an insta-buy because I love the author duo Kit Rocha to pieces! Their new duology kicks off with Sachielle on her way to become the said consort of a mysterious dragon lord. He is a powerful man named Ash who can literally become a dragon. This immortal dude is pretty scary, but Sachi isn’t afraid. She has been dreaming of fire and determined to seduce him… The twist is she is on a lifelong path to assassinate him lest she will […]

Don’t say what the heck at me as if what I said is so absurd, Seth. Yesterday you told me vampires exist. I watched your face grow fifty extra bones and a thousand more teeth.

How to Help a Hungry Werewolf by Charlotte Stein

by 3 Comments

Charlotte Stein’s How to Help a Hungry Werewolf is one of the horniest books I have ever read. It is incredibly innocent and filthy at the same time. I laughed and I blushed. I also felt like this book was written just for me, which has made it very difficult to review. Cassie Camberwell doesn’t know she’s a witch until she inherits her grandmother’s house, meets her ex-best friend again, finds a notebook with recipes and brews up a potion. And it turns out that […]

He thought his girlfriend kept him grounded, but he got a shock one night

Static Up All Night (volume 1) by Lamar Giles

by Leave a Comment

Static Up All Night (volume 1) by Lamar Giles and illustrated by Paris Alleyne is a nice teen superhero story.  Our main character, Virgil, is trying to balance a normal life and being a superhero. Set in the DC universe, we have mutant humans (mostly still looking human) that were created by a supposedly safe gas. Afterwards, those who made it were given some sort of powers (one girl hasn’t slept literally since it happened, so she has time to study, do multiple jobs, and […]

Marvel Fatigue?

What If… Wanda Maximoff and Peter Parker were Siblings? by Seanan McGuire

by Leave a Comment

I don’t know her.  Marvel has had me in their grip since I was a little smidge reading Power Pack. I’ve seen every movie and show except, ironically, the animated What If… series. I might have to rectify that now. When I saw Seanan McGuire was the author. I could not resist. She knows Marvel and most especially the Spiderverse. The story basically flows right from the title. We meet Wanda as a young adult wishing to join the Avengers, and then spin back in […]
