(Blame “It’s Gonna Be May” on my Timberlake quote) Nolan Santiago suffers from frequent blackouts. His family has been desperate to find the medication that will ease his daily and frequent epileptic fits. But the reason nothing is working is because Nolan isn’t having fits. When Nolan closes his eyes – even when he merely blinks – he is in another world, and in another life. Amara has been a servant on the run for most of her life. She was pulled from the palace […]

A non-binary Regency romance.

April 27, 2018 by narfna Leave a Comment

Okay, so even if this is the first book of hers that hasn’t made me drool with unbridled enthusiasm, I still really enjoyed it, and it’s clear to me that Cat Sebastian is going to continue to publish books that I will enjoy reading. I think maybe I was just expecting a lot more from this than it was capable of giving? I don’t know. It’s also the first non M/M book of hers I read, but I don’t think that’s why I didn’t enjoy […]

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

My Sister Hated It

July 24, 2017 by G.D. Giant Leave a Comment

My sister hated The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.  I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it either.  I think I wanted more, or, maybe, I just wanted it to be better. It glosses over a lot of Evelyn’s relationships and especially with the relationship that Evelyn claimed was the most important. I also had the same problem with it that I had with All the Stars in the Heavens in that, reading this book from the mindset of someone not living in those […]

Crazy Ass, Fighter Chick with a Purple Fire Blade that Spawns from Her Chest

June 28, 2016 by Andrea Krieter Leave a Comment

Rating: 3/5 I received a copy through the group YA Buddy Readers’ Corner on goodreads in return for an honest review. Summary: Demorn is a refugee/mercenary from Asanti- her home world that has been destroyed. She is haunted by Kate, her lover, and Firethorn, the magical dimension where Kate was murdered. Demorn runs on vengeance doled out by the Innocents- a club of mercenaries/assassins that protect her brother and give her a home. But something is not right with the world. Evil creatures are invading […]

    This sounds delightful. I think I have found that I like romances better when something else is driving the story...
