Stroke of Luck was my first Opal Carew read, and I have to say I’m more than a bit disappointed. Usually, I’m totally on board the erotica train, full speed, and everything, but this one didn’t do it for me at all, and here’s why: We enter the story after our female lead, April, found […]
[Lisa’s Review]: Half-Blood (Covenant #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I’m currently re-reading this series, and I’m only now getting around to writing this down, but here’s what I remember from the day I stumbled over this series: I remember reading the synopsis for this book, thinking, holy crap, I have to read this right freaking now. Greek mythology, badass female warrior, and romance that […]
[Lisa’s Review:] Wicked (A Wicked Trilogy #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
By now, I seriously feel like a broken record whenever I write a review for one of Jen’s books. They usually begin with some form of “this book is so awesome I can’t even tell you,”; “here we go again,” or “holy awesome.” But honestly, I don’t know what to tell you – her writing […]
[Lisa’s Review:] Storm and Fury (The Harbinger #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
There are not enough words to describe my feelings when my girl Hannah handed me an ARC for this one at 2019’s Apollycon. I spent my days running around the Hyatt Recency in Arlington and my nights reading Storm and Fury as fast as I possibly could. I loved the Dark Elements series and was […]
[Lisa’s Review]: Broken (Blackwater Pack #1.5) by Hannah McBride
First things first, this review contains minor spoilers for the first book in the series. If you haven’t read that one, abort mission. You definitely need to read that one first. If you’re like me and felt like Pirate of the Caribbeans’ Captain Barbossa yelling, “JUST KISS!” throughout Sanctum, this one will be the answer […]
[Lisa’s Review]: The Brightest Night (Origin #3) by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I’ve been not-so-patiently waiting for the next book in this series for quite some time, and of course, I dived into it the second the ARC landed in my inbox. I’m happy to report that Jen remains absolutely untouched by the “I nail the first books in the series, and it goes downhill from there” […]
[Lisa’s Review:] Kingdom of Sea and Stone (Crown of Coral and Pearl #2) by Mara Rutherford
Kingdom of Sea and Stone picks up right where it’s predecessor, Crown of Coral and Pearl left off, so if you haven’t read this one – abort mission. This review contains spoilers for the first book. After Nor’s daring escape from New Castle, she returns home to Varenia, hopeful that this is the end of […]
[Lisa’s Review:] Not Myself Today by Muriel Ellis Pritchett
When I first read the synopsis for this book, I knew I had to read it, even though it’s not my usual scene. Not Myself Today is a unique, thought-provoking, and interesting story filled emotion, action, and lots of angst. It’s essentially a dark thriller version of Freaky Friday. Our heroine Lindsey is a High […]
