If you’ll recall from my previous review of Tessa Dare’s A Week to Be Wicked, I mentioned that I would probably be going on a Tessa Dare binge pretty quickly. This is the beginning of that. This one came in from the library yesterday, and I bought two others at Bookmans three hours ago. So this is happening. Dammit. I didn’t like this one as much as A Week to Be Wicked, which is the second book in the Spindle Cove series. A Night to […]
I really wish she hadn’t kept addressing her letters to “Daddy”
3.5 stars Jerusha “Judy” Abbott is a Canadian orphan, who at 17 is still living in the orphanage, mainly because they are using her as free help. She is frequently told that she needs to keep her strong opinions and overactive imagination to herself, or nothing will come of her.

Kestrel gets in way over her head
Disclaimer! I was granted an ARC of this book through NetGalley in return for a fair and objective review. The book is available now. This review will contain some spoilers for The Winner’s Curse. I will try to be vague, but it’s pretty much impossible to review this without mentioning some of the important stuff that happened in the second half of the first book. You have been warned. You still here? On your own head be it. Kestrel is now firmly settled in the […]
A Romance with an Annoying Brother
So alwaysanswerb reviewed this one a few weeks ago, and I found her review excellent therefore it definitely got bumped up the I’m stuck sitting in airports for hours list. A brief plot synopsis: the Duke of Morland, Spencer, has cultivated an air of mystery by arriving at ball at exactly midnight, dancing one set with a different girl each night and then disappearing into the night.

Good vampires, bad vampires, and half vampires
I’ve been steadily working my way through the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead ever since I got sucked into the first one. Hmmm…let me clarify, the books are fun and quick reads. The part of this process that is slow is getting the books from the library. There’s not a huge waitlist, but there also aren’t too many copies.
