World’s Okayest Oracle (Reluctantly) Seeks Demon: With a demon as the MMC the burn was never going to be slow

World's Okayest Oracle (Reluctantly) Seeks Demon by Olivia Dade

CBR Bingo: Justice – This whole book is about the Good Guys (TM) seeking the identities of those who set the zombies free in the last book, averting disaster, and trying to get justice the wrongs that have been done. Spoilers for ZomRomCom ahead. We met Gwen in the tail end of ZomRomCom. She’s is a pretty okay oracle, but her visions tend to be quite small. Until she has a head-splitting vision of the end of the world, even after the zombie apocalypse has […]

Flirting with Disaster: Hurricane season, but romantic

Flirting with Disaster by Naina Kumar

by 2 Comments

CBR Bingo: Summer – The book takes place presumably during the summer because it’s hurricane season. But, maybe I don’t know enough about when hurricane season is or I’m already forgetting details that were directly mentioned in the book. I found this author through another reviewer here on Cannonball Read. I’ve been tearing through Romance and Romantasy with mixed results. So, when I saw a promising review for this author, I popped her books on my library holds list. This one came through first, and […]

Not what I expected; Exactly what I expected

Night's Fall by Kristen Ashley

by Leave a Comment

Oh, gentle reader… I thought I had broken myself of the Kristen Ashley habit. Longtime Cannonball Read participants will remember my earlier addiction to her books and my lamentations over them. And by lamentations, I mean my lamenting over my inability to quit reading books that made me want to scream in frustration over the way the female main characters were inevitably told to just get over bad behaviors by the male main characters due to their possessive, protective feelings about said female. I’m jerk […]

Reese Witherspoon Strikes Again

Into the Blue by Emma Brodie

by 2 Comments

There was a question I kept asking myself while reading Into the Blue by Emma Brodie, and after thinking it over I’ve decided that the answer is fifteen. The question is: How young would the author of this book have to be in order for me to find this impressive? To put it mildly, I was not a fan of this book, which reads like a self-insert wish fulfillment piece of fan-fiction. AJ, our protagonist, is the kind of girl who grows up dreaming of writing […]

If you want to live forever, read this book. It will feel like an eternity.

A Fate Inked in Blood: Saga of the Unfated Book One by Danielle L. Jensen

by Leave a Comment

Set in a world where the Gods frequently join in marital relations and give blood to their chosen children, Freya chafes at her life. Bound in an unwanted marriage to a son of the Ocean God Njord, she spends her days gutting fish, but dreams of joining Snorri’s, the region’s jarl, war band and proving herself in battle. And putting an axe in her boorish husband’s back. (Of course he’s horrible; this is a Romantasy, and he’s not the MMC.) Her dreams abruptly come true […]

Daggerbound by T. Kingfisher

Daggerbound by T. Kingfisher

I really enjoyed the first book in this series and kept wondering where the other books were, well we get the second book in the Swordheart series now and the third and final one next year called Shieldborn. This was a long slow romantasy novel that I think will thrill T. Kingfisher fans. We have more information about The World of the White Rat and some call backs to her other works in the Clocktaur War series. Daggerbound follows Learned Edmund who is ready to […]
