Summer is perfect for hot romance short stories

Burning Up by Nalini Singh, Angela Knight, Mejean Brooks, Virginia Kantra

by Leave a Comment

When reading a long series, it’s nice to take a break with a genre collection under an interesting theme. Burning Up brings together four authors who know how to bring the heat to a supernatural romance! As I heard only great things about Nalini Singh, I decided to bring this on my adult spring break trip to Hawaii. I procrastinated on my review and realized this is perfect for my Summer Reads bingo square. I highly recommend powering through a sexy anthology on the plane. Short stories are a low commitment and easy to return to after sightseeing adventures. Singh’s […]

Nasty Women Anthem & Memoir

Feminasty: The Complicated Woman's Guide to Surviving the Patriarchy Without Drinking Herself to Death by Erin Gibson

by 4 Comments

Jen and I read Erin Gibson’s fantastic book for the Two Heads Are Better Than One bingo square. Teresa: I’ve been a big fan of Erin Gibson from her podcast, Throwing Shade. I also attended her LA Festival of Books panel where she promoted this book. I was delighted beyond measure and regret holding off on a signed book. The audiobook version though was such a fun ride. Part feminist history, part humorous memoir, this book is a great way to discuss the darkest timeline of Trump. So excited that Jen was on board with my suggestion to review together. […]

Warrior Women with Bad Attitudes

The Unleashing by Shelly Laurenston

by Leave a Comment

When I spotted The Unleashing by Shelly Laurenston, I had a vague memory that yesknopemaybe gave it a positive review for CBR10. I also remembered that the protagonist was a former Marine. The expectation of a legion of ass-kicking women convinced me to buy it on the spot. With the start of CBR11 Bingo, I was spurred to action to read it for the Cannonballer Says square. As the first book in Laurenston’s Call of Crows series, we are introduced to Kera Watson, the ex-military protagonist, and many, many supporting characters. Kera is murdered in a back alley at the […]

Alex Craft, Witch Detective

Grave Witch by Kalayna Price

Grave Dance by Kalayna Price

Grave Memory by Kalayna Price

by Leave a Comment

As soon as I saw Grave Witch by Kalayna Price in The Ripped Bodice bookstore, I knew I’d probably love it. The series is about Alex Craft, a grave witch who consults with the Nekros police. Her grave magic allows her to raise shades. Not to be confused with ghosts, shades take the form of the body just before it died and contain the soul’s memory. This is a pretty handy skill to have the victim’s shade testify in their own murder case. Grieving relatives hire her to speak to relatives or settle insurance issues. She also identifies bodies for her […]

A Dinétah monster killer

Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse

by 1 Comment

I was familiar with Rebecca Roanhorse from Twitter and her articles on Tor.com, so definitely excited for Trail of Lightning‘s release last year. I guess I wasn’t the only one because it was sold out at The Ripped Bodice when I went to buy it! Always a good sign and her novel did not disappoint. Trail of Lightning is the first entry in the series: The Sixth World. After a climate apocalypse that drowns most of the world, several nasty things that go bump in the night surfaced. The gods have also begun to walk among the land more freely. In […]

A choice between family and being your authentic self

Marriage of a Thousand Lies by SJ Sindu

by Leave a Comment

Marriage of a Thousand Lies by SJ Sindu isn’t quite a romance but digs into what it means to love. Lucky marries her gay friend Kris to appease her family and remain accepted by her Sri Lankan immigrant community in Boston. A marriage of convenience that works well on the surface. Everyone believes she married for love and escaped the fate of an arranged one. Kris and Lucky can be who they are together in LGBTQ spaces, taking home whoever they want. But things get tricky when Nisha comes back into Lucky’s life. Nisha is her childhood best friend and […]

A space rebel romance

Nightchaser by Amanda Bouchet

by 1 Comment

As a big fan of Amanda Bouchet’s Kingmaker Chronicles, I was pumped for her new book Nightchaser. This is the first book in her new sci-fi space series, which centers on Tess Bailey. She is a space captain with a troubled past who has become a sort of Robin Hood in space. She and her crew steal vaccines and supplies to give to children in need. At the start of the book, we find her on the run with a stolen lab. The Dark Watch is closing in and attempting to retrieve the lab by any means necessary. She doesn’t […]

A silly tale of the end times

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

by Leave a Comment

Good Omens, The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch was my first foray into the mind of Terry Pratchett. It was my fourth read from Neil Gaiman. I know, I know, I need to read more Pratchett. Since I enjoyed this collaboration, I definitely will soon. The book follows two unlikely friends Aziraphale, an angel, and Crowley, a demon, who must stop the end of the world. They’ve known each other since the Garden of Eden. They kept in touch despite working for opposite sides. I especially loved Crowley and how he didn’t mean to become a demon, […]
