The Court of Mortals – AJ Lancaster

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

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 […]

Stolen Midsummer Bride – Tara Grayce

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

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

Pretense – Tara Grayce

1 Comment / At Home, Reading / Megan

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

The Prince of Secrets – A.J. Lancaster

2 Comments / At Home, Reading / Megan

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

This the fourth of the Alpha and Omega books, and I’m still back a bit from where I’m up to the Mercy Thompson books. Here, the Fae have newly retreated to their reservations, and it seems that some of them are not happy to have had to this. They’re unleashing some of their worst against
