Let me step right out and explain that I don’t have a deep well of shifter/werewolf genre knowledge to draw from. I have found very few urban fantasy or other style shifter books that I could get into. So I went into this a little bit nervous, because I wanted nothing more than to enjoy […]
[Blog Tour] [Portia’s Review]: Mayhem by Estelle Laure
HMM. This one is hard to review. Tagged as a feminist mash-up of The Lost Boys and The Craft, I knew I had to read this. Those are two of my favorite cult classics. And it turns out its easy too see the resemblances…. Wayyyyyy to easy. Like, identical in many ways to The Lost […]
[Portia’s Review]: Twisted Circles (Secret Society #2) by Claire Contreras
Again, actual footage of me when Claire announced a 2nd book with Secret Societies (this is a throwback to my original review of the first book in the series, Half Truths <- click to read) : I could start this post off by raving about how amazing and wonderful and talented and pretty Claire Contreras […]
[Blog Tour] [Portia’s Review]The Sinful King by Claire Contreras (Naughty Royals #1)
Its no secret that Claire Contreras is one of my favorite authors. One of the things I love about her is how fearless she is – in her life and in her writing. In her romance novels, she has covered suspense/thriller, sports, second chance romance, mafia…. And is all over the new adult and contemporary […]
[Portia’s Review: Foul Is Fair by Hannah Capin (Foul Is Fair #1) [ Blog Tour]

[Portia’s Review]: The Wives by Tarryn Fisher
The final book of the year for me in 2019 was The Wives by Tarryn Fisher. I really have a love/hate relationship with her books. Well, I guess I dont entirely HATE any of them, but some are just… meh, for me (Mud Vein is still my fave by her). So because of the back […]
[Portia’s Review]:Little White Lies (Debutantes #1) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
I was a big believer in absolute honesty: say what you mean, mean what you say, and don’t ask a question if you don’t want to know the answer. Buckle up, ya’ll because this review may be long winded. I will honestly say that when I first got this ARC last year, I wasn’t entirely […]
Half Truths by Claire Contreras
Actual footage of me when Claire announced a book with Secret Societies: I know I go on and on about how amazing Claire Contreras is every time she release a new book, and I’m not going to stop now. I was SO FREAKING EXCITED to get my hands on this, and once I had it […]
