HEA book club reads

Heart and Hand (Gold Sky #1) by Rebel Carter

Knot My Type (All Access #1) by Evie Mitchell

December 31, 2022 by teresaelectro 2 Comments

Closing out the year with two romances I read for the Happily Everyone After book club at The Ripped Bodice. Heart and Hand is an unconventional historical romance with a mail-order bride marrying not one but two husbands. Julie Baptiste wants to escape New York Society. Her Black family is well-respected and who she marries is newspaper fodder. She much rather read a book than go to a party. She agrees to marry two men out in Gold Sky, Montana. It’s a long train ride, […]

Love in the time of magic and war

Song of Blood and Stone by L. Penelope

December 31, 2022 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

Song of Blood and Stone is the first novel in the Earthsinger Chronicles by L. Penelope. We meet a bunch of magical kingdoms, but there are two major powers. Elsira and Lagrimar are divided by a magical barrier called The Mantle. We learn through flashbacks they used to be one. The founders received magical gifts and used them to enrich the land. Some people have magic and it gets passed down by generation. That’s until one generation causes a split and epically long war. A brother […]

Paige Shelton fueling my love for cozy mysteries and title puns

To Helvetica and Back (Dangerous Type Mystery #1) by Paige Shelton

The Cracked Spine (Scottish Bookshop Mystery #1) by Paige Shelton

December 31, 2022 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

To Helvetica and Back was my first introduction to Paige Shelton. The idea of a murder mystery set in a typewriter store was enough to catch my attention. Also, how cute is the store name: Rescued Word?! We’re in Star City, Utah, a sleepy town known for skiing. Clare learned everything about repairing typewriters from her grandfather, Chester. He opened the shop years ago and loves that his granddaughter has taken up the family business. Murder is rare in this town, so when Clare learns […]

Payback's a Witch

Can I live in Thistle Grove?

Payback's a Witch by Lana Harper

The winning family is bestowed with good fortune. The wealthy and pretentious Blackmoore family has won for decades. The Arbiter of the competition is the Harlow family. Emmy Harlow left town after high school and never wanted to come back. Her breakup with Gareth Blackmoore soured her on the place. She also was sick of […]

Hooked on the Alpha & Omega series

Alpha & Omega by Patricia Briggs

Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs

Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs

Fair Game by Patricia Briggs

December 31, 2022 by teresaelectro 2 Comments

The natural progression of reading the Mercy Thompson novels was diving into the Alpha & Omega series. Anna is an omega wolf, which is very rare to find. She mates with Charles, the stoic Native American werewolf enforcer for the entire US territory. He is who you call upon when alpha wolves get out of line. He is the son of Bran, the Marrock. He is the ruler of the US werewolves and helped raise Mercy. Charles is sort of a brother to Mercy in […]

My 2022 Mercy Thompson binge

Night Broken by Patricia Briggs

Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs

Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs

Storm Cursed by Patricia Briggs

December 31, 2022 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I was spacing out the Mercy Thompson series over the last few Cannonball Read challenges. Not this go-round. I got hooked and read five in a row! I will keep the spoilers light, but there are some things you may want to keep as a surprise if you haven’t read this series. Night Broken sees Mercy dealing with an unwanted house guest: Christy, Adam’s ex-wife. She has a hell of a stalker and needs the pack’s protection. Out of jealousy, the stalker burned down a […]
