A Contemporary Mr. Rochester–with puppets!

December 19, 2014 by Sophia 1 Comment

I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that Susan Elizabeth Phillips is one of my favorite contemporary romance authors. Although I’ve been a little disappointed in some of her more recent books, I’m still far from giving up on her. So when her latest book, Heroes Are My Weakness, came out in August of this year, I was waiting for it. And months and months later, I finally got off the library’s waitlist and downloaded the book. And I read it in a day. Annie is virtually […]

Escape from Werewolf Island

December 18, 2014 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

[Beware of MILD SPOILERS from previous books] A Fistful of Charms is the fourth book in The Hollows series. Rachel survived her demon dilemma by making a deal with a rival demon named Newt. At least, she’s got her soul and back to only one demon mark. Her romance is progressing with Kisten, albeit a bit dangerously as she refuses to let him bite her. Meanwhile, Ivy still yearns for Rachel to accept her blood rites and friendship. This witch is caught in a blood triangle with […]

Deals with demons rarely end well…

December 17, 2014 by teresaelectro 3 Comments

Mild Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t read the previous 2 books (or my reviews) of The Hollows series by Kim Harrison, this review might give you some unwanted information. However I will try to keep it to a minimum! Rachel Morgan has a demon mark and made a deal to become a demon’s familiar. In exchange, she received the demon’s testimony in court to put away an evil vampire kingpin in jail. Way to start a book with a lot of impossible hurdles for your character, […]

Witch Serial Killer on the Loose in Cincinnatti

December 16, 2014 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

The Good, The Bad and The Undead has Rachel Morgan gunning for that slippery Trent Kalamack again. Someone is butchering ley line witches all over town. The FIB (the human led agency dealing with X-Files) want her to go undercover as a ley line student to spy on a professor. Morgan isn’t having any of it, convinced Trent is behind it as his secretary’s witch boyfriend disappeared. In typical fashion, the FIB boss warns her off that line of questioning. He saddles her with his […]

In search of a bodice ripper (Reviews 27 – 31)

December 16, 2014 by competitivenonfiction 3 Comments

Well it just got a bit saucy up in here. I was looking for something light and sexy. Something that I can burn through. Preferably with corsets and bodices. And Mrs. Julien provided exactly the list I needed in her post So You Want to Read A Historical Romance provided me with exactly the information I needed to get started. In fact, not only is that list awesome, but her review of these books is far superior to my own, so you can go check that out […]

Not What It Sounds Like, But Click for an Unforgettable Book Cover Just the Same

Knitting in the City: Neanderthal Seeks Human, Neanderthal Marries Human & Love Hacked by Penny Reid

December 15, 2014 by Mrs. Julien 5 Comments

Don’t worry, despite the title it’s not one of these: Now, you can’t unsee it either. The Knitting in the City contemporary romance series is extremely highly-rated on Amazon and I both do and do not understand why. I don’t know what juju is in these books, but I keep re-reading the ones I have, particularly Neanderthal Seeks Human and Neanderthal Marries Human which both focus on the same couple. Re-readability is a kind of litmus test for me with this genre. I interact with […]
