Return to Massacre Manor

Apprentice To The Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

by 4 Comments

I ended last year’s Cannonball with Assistant to the Villain so I think it’s quite appropriate that my hold for the second book in this fabulous series came in just in time for this one. I’ll try to keep it as non-spoilery as possible but get ready for more wacky hijinks! Now having said that the first book did end on a big ol cliffhanger that really almost killed me having to wait a whole year to find out what happens. You’ll be pleased to […]

The Light, The Dark, and The Dragon

Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha

by Leave a Comment

Consort of Fire was an insta-buy because I love the author duo Kit Rocha to pieces! Their new duology kicks off with Sachielle on her way to become the said consort of a mysterious dragon lord. He is a powerful man named Ash who can literally become a dragon. This immortal dude is pretty scary, but Sachi isn’t afraid. She has been dreaming of fire and determined to seduce him… The twist is she is on a lifelong path to assassinate him lest she will […]

Super Toxic Romance

Magnolia Parks by Jessa Hastings

by 4 Comments

Is this Harry Styles fan fiction? I kept waiting for someone’s parents to try to sell them to One Direction to cover their gambling debts. Magnolia Parks is a young and beautiful London socialite. BJ Ballentine is the bad boy influencer who broke her heart. They grew up together, were dating, broke up because of his infidelity, and now they’re “best friends”. I totally got suckered into this book by the cover. The pink heels are very cute so I threw this on my holds […]

More Pirates than Tea or Tomes

A Pirate's Life for Tea by Rebecca Thorne

by Leave a Comment

Teas and Tomes is officially a series. I saw the sequel to Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea, A Pirate’s Life for Tea at the airport, and it’s a decent light travel/beach/need a mental break read. There’s two plot threads: first, Reyna and Kianthe have to find the dragon eggs they promised to find in the first book, and second (during that investigation) they get involved in local politics by agreeing to capture a river pirate who has been annoying the local diarn Arlon. Naturally, things […]

Is That Sweet? I Guess So

Intermezzo by Sally Rooney

by Leave a Comment

The first time I tried Intermezzo, I didn’t last ten pages. This was the fault of Conversations With Friends. I read it earlier this year in anticipation of Intermezzo and found it disappointing. I gave it a reluctant 4-stars but with more distance, I find myself continuing to dislike it. I never cared for the central relationship and while Rooney has talent, it’s evident that this was her first book and she was not yet fully confident in telling stories like this. My first go round with Intermezzo, I’m again introduced […]
