Like so many of my reading choices lately, I began the Boston Underworld series by A. Zavarelli after seeing the first Book, Crow, recommended on SmutTok. So, please forgive me, but I’m going to start this review with a bit of a detour: If y’all aren’t on TikTok and following those hashtags, I really recommend your at least considering giving it a try. I now follow a combination of romance authors, book sellers, and readers with similar interests. They often provide interesting insights about their […]

A return to the beginning. Sort of.

A Terrible Fall of Angels by Laurell K. Hamilton

August 18, 2021 by katie71483 Leave a Comment

A Terrible Fall of Angels is the first in a new series by Laurell K. Hamilton. It is much more akin to her early Anita Blake novels than anything she has written since Narcissus in Chains (including the Merry Gentry novels). Centering on Det. Zaniel “Havoc” Havelock, a detective in the Los Angeles police department’s Metaphysical Coordination Unit, aka the Heaven and Hell Unit. This is a Los Angeles where angels and demons walk amongst us, and children are taken from their parents at a […]

This way lies madness. And it is glorious.

A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Kathryn Moon

Y’all. Y’all. Y’ALL. I really don’t know where to start with this one. At the beginning, I suppose. I have recently fallen down the rabbit hole that is TikTok. It took awhile for the algorithm to figure me out, but eventually it got me to BookTok. Specifically SmutTok. It was here that I first heard of a novel by Kathryn Moon entitled A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor. I cannot believe that I am about to type this particular combination of words, but here goes: For […]

Following BookTok down an odd rabbit hole

Morning Glory Milking Farm by CM Nascosta

August 13, 2021 by katie71483 1 Comment

Y’all. Y’ALL. I follow several romance authors on TikTok. Many of them are self publish in a variety of subgenres under noms de plume. One of them (I wish I remembered whom it was) recommended Morning Glory Milking Farm by CM Nascosta as a follow up to Ice Planet Barbarians for the romance everyone is going to be reading and talking about this month. I knew when I was reading the blurb on amazon… Strike that, I knew just from hearing the title that this […]

This gives romantic sci-fi a bad name

Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon

June 13, 2021 by katie71483 2 Comments

I picked up Ice Road Barbarians by Ruby Dixon on Kindle Unlimited because the listing was flagged as “Number 1 in Romantic Comedy” and since it’s obviously sci-fi, I thought it might be a delightful bit of space camp à là Spaceballs. But, you know, in book form. IT IS NOT THAT AT ALL. I have been unable to get it to display with that tag now that I’ve read it, which makes me wonder if there was a glitch or if I only imagined […]

Why, oh why, hast thou forsaken me, Pattykins?

Dream Spinner by Kristen Ashley

May 27, 2021 by katie71483 2 Comments

Patty has forsaken me. She started me down this damnable path, but seems to have been able to break up with the Ashley. I… have not been so fortunate. Dream Spinner dropped on Tuesday, May 25, 2021. I’d honestly forgotten that I’d even pre-ordered it, but there it was when I opened the kindle app on my phone. Of course I stopped everything to read it. (I hate you so much right now, Pattykins.) Hattie is one of the lead dancers in a burlesque review […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
