“I am a pawn in other peoples’ power games”

Court of the Vampire Queen by Katee Robert

by 3 Comments

CBR14Bingo: Hot – The spice is very high with this one, if also very bloody. I had these on my TBR for a while when they were previously self-published as the Bloodline Vampires novella series. So of course I jumped at the chance to read an ARC of the books released in one volume. This is pure Katee Robert, but it reminds me more of her Touch of Taboo series than her newer Dark Olympus books. Mina is a dhampir (half-vampire, half-human) but unlike her […]

“I’m getting paid in chaos.”

A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland

CBR14Bingo: Scandal – The initial events that lead Kadou and Evemer together are a result of trying to fix a scandal caused by Kadou’s last guard This is a near-perfect enemies-to-lovers bodyguard romance set in an Ottoman-inspired setting. There are misconceptions! Political intrigue! Random swordfights! It’s just lovely and I absolutely devoured this book. After his sister the empress safely delivered her daughter, Kadou should be relieved. Instead, high tempers and a misunderstanding lead to a deadly end, and Kadou feels like it’s all his […]

“It seemed absurd, a monster going monster hunting. But why not?”

Pack of Lies by Charlie Adhara

CBR14Bingo – Star: Julien’s the sort of actor who’s mostly recognizable, but his glory days seem to be behind him. I deeply loved the Big Bad Wolf series, so while I was happy to see Cooper and Oliver finally get their HEA I was sad to say goodbye to the world. Well, luckily we have a new spinoff series starring Eli. While he was a character in past books (and there’s more cameos as well), I’d say you could pick this up as a standalone, […]

An absolutely adorable romance set around zombies, familial trauma and several boatloads of dead bodies

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen

by 3 Comments

CBR14Bingo – Bodies: Mercy’s an undertaker and Hart kills zombies. I can’t imagine a better book for this square! A book involving zombies, familial trauma and so many dead bodies has no right being this adorable. It’s weird and impossible to categorize, but it’s ultimately an enemies-to-lovers romance that delighted me to no end. “Most people start with hello.” “Hello, Hart-ache,” she sighed. “Hello, Merciless.” After her father’s heart attack, Mercy’s taken on the lion’s share of work at her family’s undertaking business. Trying to […]

A cupcake with its frosting to cake ratio way off

Muscles & Monsters by Ashley Bennett

CBR14Bingo – Dough: Technically it’s batter and not dough, but Tegan’s a baker. Also, I got this book from Kindle Unlimited, so I technically spent no dough on it! This is like one of those cupcakes that looks absolutely gorgeous but the frosting to cake ratio is way off. The cover is adorable, the premise is cute, but there wasn’t quite enough substance there for me. After Tegan fumbles a wedding cake and Atlas comes to her rescue, she’s fascinated by the muscly wolven (basically […]

“You deserve more than what you’re allowing yourself to have.”

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

CBR14Bingo – Cozy: It’s just so adorable and comfy and chockfull of found family feels and tea! I’ve read several of this author’s YA releases, so when I heard she was coming out with an adult romance – and then saw THAT COVER – I was desperate to read it. Add in a slow burn grumpy/sunshine romance? Pure comfort. It’s the book equivalent of sitting by a crackling fire with a hot drink on a rainy day, all warm and cozy under a blanket with […]
