Ugh. I feel dirty. And not in the “oh baby, I’m a dirty girl” way that I’m sure E.L. James wants me to feel, but in an unclean, “Oh God, I can’t believe I actually read this trash” kind of way. But I am a firm believer in the idea that you have to know something to really be able to make fun of it, and so, to my everlasting shame, I have read all three 50 Shades books, and now this reborquel garbage. For […]
If Drew is Capt. America, then Grey is Thor
The first thing you need to know is that I enjoyed reading The Friend Zone every bit as much as I enjoyed The Hook Up and I am grateful to Malin for bringing both into my life. I feel like I need to start with this because I pick this ones nits more than I did The Hook Up’s. Mostly this is because I’ve waited longer to review The Friend Zone, so you are getting my week plus later assessment, instead of immediate after glow. […]
Those Waverleys are back
So we’re back in Bascom, North Carolina, with another minor mystery for the Waverleys to solve. This time, it’s just before First Frost — a magical time for these witchy sisters when their enchanted apple tree starts stirring up all sorts of things. Everybody wants something — with no clear way to get it. “She couldn’t change who she was, and she no longer wanted to, even if she could. She knew that who you are is a stone set deep inside you. You can spend […]
Don’t go into the Wood. No, seriously, stay FAR away.
Disclaimer! I got this as an ARC through NetGalley in return for a fair and unbiased review.The book is available now. While this remarkable novel by Naomi Novik isn’t actually a retelling of some traditional fairy tale, it feels like it should be. The book moves slowly, thoroughly establishing the sleepy little environment Agniezka and Kasia live in, with the terrors of the slowly encroaching Wood so close by. Once someone disappears in the Wood, they will hopefully stay lost. Should they return, they are […]
Post-apocalyptic ice trucker romance. Yup, that’s a thing
In a post-apocalyptic future, most people live in the icy wastes of what used to be Siberia. While on paper, trade should be regulated fairly, in reality there is a monopoly controlled by one ruthless man, Duncan Bane, and he wants Raina Bowen tortured and dead, eventually. Raina needs to deliver a shipment of grain to one of the major settlements, but needs forged documentation to drive on the ice road. Wizard, the man who was supposed to meet her with said documentation, instead gets […]
Everything makes so much sense now
A Week to be Wicked, the second book in the Spindle Cove series, was among the first Regency romances I picked up that wasn’t Courtney Milan (obligatory Malin’s Top 100 Romances namedrop, since I found it there!) For whatever reason, it took me some time to get through the rest of the series, until now, where I suspect I have finished with its weakest entries. A Night to Surrender (3.5 stars) sets up the entire Spindle Cove premise and introduces all of the main players. There is […]
