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 has moved to the PNW from the Bayou. Can anyone say culture shock?

In which I realize how well a mother knows her child(ren)

April 22, 2015 by katie71483 Leave a Comment

I feel like I should warn you upfront: Marti Dumas, the author of the delightful Jala and the Wolves, was a bosom bow of my childhood. We met in fifth grade when we were assigned desks next to each other at a public school in New Orleans, and immediately recognized each other as kindred spirits. We shared a love of books, making fortune tellers or swans out of folded paper, and giggling over terrible movies when we’d spend the night at each other’s homes. We […]

I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll…

…okay, not really, but THEME, people, THEME! (And make sure to click on the gifs for maximum viewing pleasure…) [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4cFIzr85cU&w=420&h=315] Katie: Something interesting happened on the way to the bookstore: Kristen Ashley has evidently written a book I don’t hate. After deciding we were finished (at least for a while) with J.R. Ward, I had the bright idea that it might be fun to do a Kristen Ashley.  Since Kindle is ALWAYS pushing her Rock Chick series, we started with book one which is […]

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t

April 18, 2015 by katie71483 2 Comments

Patty: There is dream fulfillment fantasy and then there is the Book of Butch. A human ex-cop originally from Southie, Butch has been adopted, for lack of a better word, by the Black Dagger Brotherhood. He is like their little human sidekick, allowed to hang out with them and sit at the cool vamp cafeteria table. Since the dude can actually go out in sunlight, he comes in handy when they need him to like, I don’t know… go to Costco or run DMV errands. […]

Whip it! Whip it good!

April 15, 2015 by katie71483 4 Comments

Today’s review is brought to you by the unnecessary letter Z… Patty: OMG that that title is just the right amount of wrong. But seriously, how are we going to banter about this one? There is nothing funny or lighthearted about it. Katie: Phatty brings up a good point. Lover Awakened, the third installment in J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series, is no laughing matter. Maybe we need to switch gears and do a serious review this time. First though, I need Bella, the female […]

There’s Something About Mary

April 12, 2015 by katie71483 6 Comments

Gentle reader, We’re baaaack… At the request of reader/commentator Alexis, we’re going to talk about Lover Eternal, the second book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward. Note: For some reason my gifs are not working. ARGH. For maximum viewing pleasure, click on them and they should open in a new tab. Some ARE just memes, though. Patty: Rhage (get it? Rage but with an “H”, so like, RHAGE. It’s Vampire for rage. SO MANY LEVELS), or Hollywood – a nickname his vampire buddies […]

Stranded in this spooky town with Katie and Patty

April 8, 2015 by katie71483 14 Comments

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb6xxeE_2ik&w=560&h=315]   Gentle reader, have you seen the pigs flying? That’s right, The End is upon us. To celebrate that dogs and cats are living together in mass hysteria, Patty (a.k.a. *Name Redacted*) and I have decided to review a book together. We’ve chosen J.R. Ward’s Dark Lover since it’s a guilty pleasure we both adore.   Patty: And it’s totally not because we’re codependent or have some kind of blood bond or anything like that. Swear.   Katie: First off, let me just […]
