Supernatural warriors need love too

The Undoing by Shelly Laurenston

The Unyielding by Shelly Laurenston

by 1 Comment

The Unleashing is a raunchy paranormal romance with a healthy dash of Viking mythology and Malibu soap opera. It was such an easy read, I thought I’d give the full Call of Crows trilogy a whirl. All the books follow a different female warrior in Los Angeles who has been resurrected by the goddess Skuld. These fighters are called Crows. Their clan is notorious for being vicious due to their vengeful roots. The other clans and even most of the gods don’t like to mess […]

It ain’t easy loving an Archangel

Archangel's Kiss by Nalini Singh

Archangel's Consort by Nalini Singh

by Leave a Comment

After the cliffhanger of Angels’ Blood, I simply had to read more Guild Hunter books this year! This series starts with a bang and doesn’t slow down. Nalini Singh develops the passionate romance between hunter Elena Deveraux and her archangel Raphael. Through Elena, we go deeper and deeper into the angelic world. Archangels are the ruling class with regular angels and vampires serving them. Humans know very little and live in awe or fear the archangels. SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU HAVEN’T READ BOOK ONE Archangel’s […]

The Bride Test by Helen Hoang

by Leave a Comment

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 […]

Something Wicked & Fae Comes This Way

Trailer Park Fae (Gallow and Ragged 1) by Lilith Saintcrow

by Leave a Comment

I loved Lilith Saintcrow‘s Jill Kismet series, which I need to start back reading again. When I learned she had a fae urban fantasy series, Gallow and Ragged, I got pretty excited the library had the audiobooks. The first book Trailer Park Fae introduces the reader to two warring Sidhe Fae courts. The land of Summer is ruled by a ruthless Queen who hates the Winter King. UnWinter oversees his dark and dangerous realm. The two courts rule their respective seasons in the human world. […]

A Great Reckoning by Louise Penny

by Leave a Comment

After reading The Long Way Home last year and The Nature of the Beast earlier this year I still wasn’t sure what Louise Penny had remaining up her sleeve for the residents of Three Pines and the remaining members of the Sûreté, but I knew not to worry about it anymore. While those books were heading towards a new direction, this book finally takes sure steps into the new reality these characters are facing. The Nature of the Beast accepted the new status quo, this […]

Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire

by Leave a Comment

Rosemary and Rue is the first book in the October Daye series by Seanan McGuire. I’ve been meaning to read this forever. I’m a big fan of detective mysteries and urban fantasy. I’m very happy to review it for the And So It Begins CBR11 bingo square. October Daye, Toby for short, is a changeling and a knight errant to the Duke of Shadowed Hills. In this universe, the Fae are hidden to humans and live amongst them in secret. Toby’s mother is a powerful […]
