Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time

“Weakness was fleeting. Vengeance was forever.”

The Other Side of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost

by 3 Comments

I inhaled the Night Huntress series back in the summer of 2017, working my way through the seven books of the initial series as well as a bunch of spin-offs. I was absolutely entranced by the world Jeaniene Frost created and it quickly became one of my favorite paranormal romance stories. One of the things I really liked about the books was that (for the most part) the stories are told solely from the heroine’s first-person point of view. But of course I (and pretty […]

Time travelling women

A Stitch in Time by Kelley Armstrong

A Twist of Fate by Kelley Armstrong

by Leave a Comment

I’ve delved into the world of Kelley Armstrong lately – she’s got a lot of books out there!  These are the latest she’s put out, and quite different from most of her work, which features witches, werewolves and other mystical beings.  This series is part Gothic, part time travel, part romance, part paranormal. A Stitch in Time This starts the trilogy, with Bronwyn Dale as the heroine who discovered at a young age that she could time slip back two centuries, where she played with […]

I’m not proud, I’ll say it: Who ya gunna call?

Onibi: Diary of a Yokai Ghost Hunter by Atelier Sento

by Leave a Comment

Onibi: Diary of a Yokai Ghost Hunter is odd. I did not know what to expect, but I think it was more along the lines of something funny and cute. Even thought it is about ghosts. And oh, yes. I would have liked to have seen some actual ghosts. The two main characters of the story are in France when they receive an email from a friend in Japan. Due to a (possible) mix up (or the friend is just bossy, which he and his […]

Cute witchy spring vibes romance

Holding a Witch by Lauren Connolly

by Leave a Comment

I was a little worried before starting this book because while I’ve loved the author’s other novellas, I’m pretty picky about paranormal novellas. After all the world building necessary, sometimes there’s not enough space left for the romance. Luckily my worries were unfounded about this short and sweet childhood friends-to-lovers novella about a bear shifter and a witch. “If that person who could keep her here exists, she hasn’t met them yet. And without them, Cordelia loves her magic and her freedom to explore more […]

Tropey and wintery paranormal romance

Frostbite by J Emery

by Leave a Comment

I’d seen this novella recommended frequently online, so when I had the chance to get an ARC, I jumped on it. And it’s the exact tropey goodness I needed: a sweet snowed-in and enemies-to-lovers paranormal M/M romance, set around New Year’s Eve. Morgan’s looking forward to a week of quiet in his friend’s remote and secluded cabin. Which is good, since with a big snowstorm coming in, he’s likely not going to have much choice. But he arrives to find the door kicked in and […]

Revenge is a dish served up by witches

Payback's a Witch by Lana Harper

by 2 Comments

“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina meets The L Word in this fresh, sizzling rom-com by Lana Harper.” This book is a blend of a lot of different elements – it’s paranormal, mixed with payback on a cheating ex boyfriend, a dash of Harry Potteresque wizard tournament and sizzle of a new lesbian romance.  The main character, Emmy Harlow, is a witch but because she left her home town after high school, her powers are diminished.  You see, her home town of Thistle Grove is a place […]
