The cover for the book The Falconer

Tea Isn’t Strong Enough for This One. Bring Out the Whisky.

The Falconer by Elizabeth May

May 7, 2023 by Kit Moonstar Leave a Comment

Aileana Kameron only looks the part of a proper Scottish debutante.  For the past year the only thing she’s cared about is vengeance on the faery that murdered her mother.  She spends her night hunting with the help of a pixie and Kiaran MacKay, a faery who hunts his own kind and has taken Aileana under his wing.  When the aftermath of a hunt leads to her being engaged against her will, Aileana doesn’t even have time to really process that when Kiaran informs her […]

Tea Set and Match by Casey Blair

If Mireya thought that her life would calm down and let her adjust after the events of the first book, she was sorely mistaken.  Though she earned the provisional title of tea master, there is the matter of an additional test in order to keep it.  And as it turns out that test will be competing in the final round of a tea tournament with absolutely no help from the tea guild.  The tournament itself is brings intrigue and international politics as well as three […]

Cover of Can't Spell Treason Without T by Rebecca Thorne

Forget Swords and Sorcery. Give Me Tea and Books Instead.

Can't Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne

February 9, 2023 by Kit Moonstar 1 Comment

One’s the most powerful mage in the world.  The other is personal bodyguard to the queen.  And really all the two of them want to is run off and open a store that sells books and serves tea.  That’s easier said than done though. The characters are fantastic, all of them.  Reyna and Kianthe the main leads were a fantastic pair, and the supporting cast is just as good.  There are a lot of found family vibes that I really enjoy, and the way that […]
