Dark Needs at Night's Edge by Kresley Cole

Dark Desires After Dusk by Kresley Cole

Kiss of a Demon King by Kresley Cole

by Leave a Comment

I keep trucking along with the Immortals After Dark novels where Kresley Cole pairs supernatural fated mates. The paranormal universe continues to expand with books 5, 6 and 7 focusing on new characters who were hinted at in previous books. Picking up with the next book in line, Dark Needs at Night’s Edge takes us back to New Orleans to meet Conrad Wroth, the long-lost vampire brother to Sebastian and Nikolai who we meet in the previous books. Conrad is deranged from drinking the blood […]

Fire in His Blood by Ruby Dixon

by 3 Comments

I’m finally back at the book reviews just in time for Spring! Last year for Cannonball Read 11, I read Ruby Dixon’s Ice Planet Barbarians, which was a steamy hot tale of alien-human with a great mix of humor and heart. I discovered she has another set of books that involves DRAGONS!!! and picked up Fire in His Blood from the library. In the first book of the Fireblood Dragon series, we meet our main character Claudia in jail for scavenging outside the bounds of […]

Game of Thrones: Costumes - The Official Book Seasons 1 - 8 by Michele Clapton

by 2 Comments

Because Faintingviolet loves me and totally feeds my addictions, I was gifted this amazing costume reference guide from the Game of Thrones series for Christmas. Written by costumer, Michele Clapton herself, the book is almost as long and comprehensive as GRRM’s series. Complete with full color professional photographs, closeups of the costumes, and some of Clapton’s original drawings, this book was an excellent study in both costuming and the intense process that goes into bringing the written word to screen. Clapton goes through each of […]

New to me sci fi romance where we jump across galaxies

Grimspace by Ann Aguirre

by 2 Comments

I can get stuck in a paranormal romance rut, but I also love me some romance in space. Even better if there’s a twist on the enemies to lovers trope. Grimspace is the first Sirantha Jax novel from Ann Aguirre. This sci-fi romance is written from the main character’s point of view. In this part of the universe, space travel requires a pilot and a special navigator like Sirantha to fly through the wormhole-esque grimspace. Ships can jump through the galaxies with these jumpers possessing […]

Love triangles, magic, and murder

Grave Visions by Kalayna Price

Grave Ransom by Kalayna Price

by 3 Comments

It’s official. I’m totally hooked on Kalayna Price’s Alex Craft series. This was a given after I reviewed books 1-3. The follow-ups, Grave Visions, and Grave Ransom did not disappoint. Alex Craft is a grave witch. Her magic skill allows her to interact with the plane of the dead. She can see talk to ghosts and shades, which are manifestations of a dead person’s memory. Talking to the dead is quite handy if they’ve been murdered. Alex opens a private detective firm with her best friend […]

A tree nymph with a past finds love in a small town

Even Tree Nymphs Get the Blues by Molly Harper

by Leave a Comment

This year, I’ve been living for the paranormal romance audiobooks. They make my commute bearable. Molly Harper’s Even Tree Nymphs Get the Blues is set in Mystic Bayou where supernatural beings coexist with humans. I have a soft spot for supernatural tales set in Louisiana after the Sookie Stackhouse series. The series was the gateway drug that got me reading again after a long absence. Since this is a stand-alone novella, I happily dove without reading the first two books. Said tree nymph is Ingrid […]
