I’ve developed this really bad habit lately of parsing out books in series, even if I have all of those books available to me. I read the first book in this series a couple years ago, having gotten it for free. I did see that the others were available on Kindle Unlimited, so I figured […]
The Court of Mortals – AJ Lancaster Read More »
This is part of a series written by different authors about different brides stolen by various fae. I’m not sure I would have read this if it wasn’t by an author I knew I already liked – they look superficially like they could be pretty fluffy. (And I guess this one is, but not in
Stolen Midsummer Bride – Tara Grayce Read More »
Yvette grew up in streets of Paris, left at a brothel by her mother. She’s tough and street smart, but that earned her a trip to jail when she murdered someone in self defense. In The Vine Witch, she meets Elena, also falsely accused of a crime, and ends up out of jail and back

Morgen’s been laid off, and her marriage has just ended, when she finds out her grandmother has died, and left her her house out in the woods in Washington state. Morgen hasn’t been out there in years, and with nothing to hold her in Seattle, she decides to head to Bellrock to take stock of
Mind Over Magic – Lindsay Buroker Read More »
I found this and Volume III at the used book store for ridiculously cheap – a lovely holiday find. I forget how much I like Slater’s writing style until I’m reading one of his books again. And yes, these are cookbooks you can read. The stories that go along with each recipe are just such
The Kitchen Diaries II – Nigel Slater Read More »
Hugh of Emblin is shipped off to the mage school at Skyhold as soon as his powers manifest – Emblin is rather proud of its reputation for no magic, and everyone there wants him gone as soon as he displays powers. The trouble is, once at Skyhold, no one can seem to teach him to
Into the Labyrinth – John Bierce Read More »
I’ve been really enjoying this series – it’s got some decent politics to it, and some nice romances, but none of it is particularly fraught – you know everything will turn out alright in the end. Princess Jalissa of the Elves and Prince Edmund of Escarland grew “close” during the captivity of Jalissa’s brother Farendel
Pretense – Tara Grayce Read More »
This is a novella in the Kinsmen series. We’re still on Dahlia, and two members of rival families need to team up to save both their families from bankrupty (and the scandal of having their spouses run off together). I enjoyed this immensely – Ramona and Matias are just great together, right off the bat.
Fated Blades – Ilona Andrews Read More »
This book picks up at the end of The Lord of Stariel, with Hetta now confirmed as the Lord, and her relationship with Wyn on a new footing. This book is mostly told from Wyn’s point of view, and it’s an interesting one. Since he’s a prince of the Fae, we get a greater view
The Prince of Secrets – A.J. Lancaster Read More »
I feel like I didn’t read as much this year, though looking at the raw numbers, I’m fairly on par with normal years. But I do feel like my mojo has gone away a bit – I feel like I’m not alone in this. It’s definitely been a weird year.
