A pop culture junkie, Katie has an addiction to tragically bad romance novels. In addition, Katie is resolute in her belief that Evans is #BestChris and doesn't understand why people live where it snows. That shit is terrifying.

Hello from the other side

Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone by Diana Gabaldon

by 5 Comments

Two days ago, Diana Gabaldon released Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone, the long awaited ninth installment of her popular Outlander series. It’s been more than seven years since the last installment. So, I have been reading and ruminating for approximately 48 hours as I sit down to write this review. I’ve got a good many thoughts about this novel – it is more than 950 pages long on my Kindle, after all – but I’m not sure how many of them I […]

OTT everything, with the Jeff Bezos song as a Soundtrack

Kings of Quarantine: A Dark High School Bully Romance (Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep Book 1) by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti

Kings of Lockdown: A Dark High School Bully Romance (Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep Book 2) by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti

Kings of Anarchy: A Dark High School Bully Romance (Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep Book 3) by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti

Queen of Quarantine (Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep Book 4) by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti

This quartet has been all over my Kindle Unlimited recommendations as well as SmutTok. I was hesitant to give it a try – for while I seem to have an enormous weakness for romances featuring alphaholes (Hey, Kristen Ashley and JR Ward, I’m looking at you…), I’m not a huge fan of bully romances. And Kings of Quarantine, Kings of Lockdown, Kings of Anarchy and Queen of Quarantine all live up to their tagline: Brutal Boys of Everlake Prep. It is a finger scorching, reverse […]

Thoughtful Dark Romance

Crow (Boston Underworld Book 1) by A. Zavarelli

Reaper (Boston Underworld Book 2) by A. Zavarelli

by Leave a Comment

Like so many of my reading choices lately, I began the Boston Underworld series by A. Zavarelli after seeing the first Book, Crow, recommended on SmutTok. So, please forgive me, but I’m going to start this review with a bit of a detour:  If y’all aren’t on TikTok and following those hashtags, I really recommend your at least considering giving it a try. I now follow a combination of romance authors, book sellers, and readers with similar interests. They often provide interesting insights about their […]

A return to the beginning. Sort of.

A Terrible Fall of Angels by Laurell K. Hamilton

by Leave a Comment

A Terrible Fall of Angels is the first in a new series by Laurell K. Hamilton. It is much more akin to her early Anita Blake novels than anything she has written since Narcissus in Chains (including the Merry Gentry novels). Centering on Det. Zaniel “Havoc” Havelock, a detective in the Los Angeles police department’s Metaphysical Coordination Unit, aka the Heaven and Hell Unit. This is a Los Angeles where angels and demons walk amongst us, and children are taken from their parents at a […]

This way lies madness. And it is glorious.

A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor by Kathryn Moon

by 2 Comments

Y’all. Y’all. Y’ALL. I really don’t know where to start with this one. At the beginning, I suppose. I have recently fallen down the rabbit hole that is TikTok. It took awhile for the algorithm to figure me out, but eventually it got me to BookTok. Specifically SmutTok. It was here that I first heard of a novel by Kathryn Moon entitled A Lady of Rooksgrave Manor. I cannot believe that I am about to type this particular combination of words, but here goes: For […]

Following BookTok down an odd rabbit hole

Morning Glory Milking Farm by CM Nascosta

by 1 Comment

Y’all. Y’ALL. I follow several romance authors on TikTok. Many of them are self publish in a variety of subgenres under noms de plume. One of them (I wish I remembered whom it was) recommended Morning Glory Milking Farm by CM Nascosta as a follow up to Ice Planet Barbarians for the romance everyone is going to be reading and talking about this month. I knew when I was reading the blurb on amazon… Strike that, I knew just from hearing the title that this […]
