I’ve been dealing with a bad mood and migraine for about 24 hours so I just decided to read these short stories before getting back into anything longer. All in all, just a 3 for the entire anthology. This anthology is dark Halloween romance. I stupidly assumed dark romance means stories similar to A Court of Thorn and Roses, but this just seems more like, these all take place on Halloween (well I think most of them do except for that space one) and there’s […]

I will love her and pet her and squeeze her and call her Georgie.

He wears leather, eats raw meat, and hunts with slings and bone knives. Big guy’s probably never heard of a space heater, much less a spaceship. ― Ruby Dixon, Ice Planet Barbarians CBR17 Bingo: Letter I When I came across this special edition in the used book section of one of my favorite bookstores, I decided to buy it because I’d heard it was good and because it was only $5. But then I remembered the tower of unread books in my TBR pile and […]

CBR17 Bingo: B – Behold, the title. Gwenna is determined to join the Royal Artificer’s Guild, where she’ll be able to leave behind her past life as a maid – but between her budding necromantic powers and her growing attraction to Raptor, who suspects she may be a thief, her dream might be slipping out of reach. I utterly loved this book, which improves on the good points of the first book in the series (world-building, humor, and complex main and supporting characters) while improving […]

Bull Moon Rising by Ruby Dixon

September 20, 2025 by Pooja Leave a Comment

CBR17 Bingo: TBR – Ruby Dixon is one of my favorite authors, and despite preordering it, I have been holding onto Bull Moon Rising for a rainy day for some time. (Then I read it in one morning, and immediately devoured the sequel By the Horns that afternoon!) Aspeth is the heiress to one of the oldest holdfasts in the land, but since her father’s gambled away all the family’s magical artifacts, they’re safe only as long as no one realizes how vulnerable they are. […]

More Alien Smut!

(Icehome #7) Nadine's Champion by Ruby Dixon

Here we go again with blue alien smut! Actually the two main aliens in these two books are red. So we’ll go with red alien smut. I continue to have issues with the “mating is only for procreation” themes in these books, but they’re still fun for me, and like I said in my previous review, I’m a part time escapist! Nothing screams escapist more than RED ALIEN PORN. Sorry, sometimes I go with the more demure “smut”, but it really is basically alien porn. […]

I accidentally started an alien smut series, and now I can’t stop!

So I know there’s nothing wrong with reading smut (that’s what I’m calling this entire series), but it’s not usually my jam. I started listening to the first book because it had my name in the title. I was excited. Then I got into it and was like “oh boy, I’m reading alien porn”. I didn’t stop though. It’s actually alien porn with a touch of interpersonal drama, peril, natural disasters, and lots of focus on consent. These books are mostly fun. You can’t listen […]

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.

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.
