First the blurb, for context: A seductive thief Lady’s maid Molly Wilkins is done with thieving—and cheating and stabbing and all the rest of it.

This one was a disappointment for me, but not the worst thing I’ve ever read.

The Royal We by Heather Cocks & Jessica Morgan

For the first third of this book, I was super into it. Then things started to get a little rocky. And then the ship breached on the rocks and got all leaky. Everything eventually righted itself and the imaginary sailors plugged up all the holes or whatever, but it was too late. My goodwill had already leaked out. I did not anticipate beating that metaphor to death when I started it, but I am not going to delete it because it accurately represents how I feel […]

One final trip to Black’s Faerie realm

The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black

Spoiler warning! This is the third and final book in the Folk of the Air trilogy. Don’t read this review if you haven’t read the previous two book, it’s impossible to review the story without mentioning events from earlier. If you want to start the series at the beginning (since the series is completed now), The Cruel Prince is the first book. Official book description: “He will be destruction of the crown and the ruination of the throne.” Power is much easier to acquire than it is to hold onto. […]

The Bride Test by Helen Hoang

The Bride Test is the second romance from Helen Hoang. I had to figure out what all the buzz was about for myself and was not disappointed. I absolutely love the illustrated cover. Definitely don’t want this trend to go away. I haven’t gotten around to her previous book, The Kiss Quotient, but thankfully, this series can be read as stand-alone books. The characters simply inhabit the same universe. After a tragic loss, Khai Diep believes he can’t feel emotion because his grief didn’t follow […]

Seriously, is no one else bothered about there being zero wagers in this book?

The Wallflower Wager (Girl Meets Duke, #3) by Tessa Dare

Much better than her last book. And for once the hero isn’t a man who thinks he’s broken and thus doesn’t deserve love. She’s played that card way too often. The premise here is that Penny, the titular wallflower who resigned herself to being a spinster ten years before, has a ton of animals in her care, and her family is threatening to move her back to her ancestral home if she doesn’t: a) Get rid of most of the animals, b) Get a new […]

“But if you think there’s a man anywhere who can make me do anything I don’t want to do, you haven’t been paying attention.”

Heaven's Queen (Paradox, #3) by Rachel Bach

Spoilers for this book and some for the first two books as well. This is a 3.5 star series for me, I think. I liked the first book well enough, but the series really didn’t get interesting until midway through book two, when the actual plot started to come out and play. That second book, in a rare occurrence for a trilogy, I think in retrospect was actually the best one of the series. It had the most exciting action, the most believable conflict, and […]
