Double Cannonballing with Canadian Zombies, Necromancers, and Demons

One Heart by Chace Verity

September 26, 2022 by Emmalita 9 Comments

Chace Verity is one of my favorite authors of the past couple of years. Their soft Canadian demon romances are delightful, weird, and fun. They also acknowledge and address the frustrations of existing in late stage capitalism with it’s dehumanization and the constant grind of mere existence. In One Heart, they give us a true romance where the love interest dies early in the book and then raise their middle fingers at Canada’s far Right. Perfect for spooky season election season. (If you can register […]

Jake Tong didn’t believe in love at first sight, not until it happened to him.

Her Favorite Rebound by Jackie Lau

March 4, 2022 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Her Favorite Rebound is the fourth book in Jackie Lau’s excellent Cider Bar Sisters series. It would be helpful to have read the previous books, but it isn’t necessary. You should, because they are great, but if this is your first book, you won’t be totally lost. Despite dating a billionaire and happily running her own small stationary shop, Sierra Wu has frustrations in her life. Her family never approves of her. She shares a name with a famous fictional demon slayer character (imagine if […]

Finally! A Truly Trashy Romance

Match With the Demon by Chace Verity

January 10, 2022 by Emmalita 7 Comments

For years, people have been asking me about the trashy romances I read. Sadly I have had to explain that none of the romances I read are trashy. It’s very confusing for everyone. I’m not sure where they got the idea that romances are about trash. Finally I can hold up and recommend a trashy romance. In Chace Verity’s third cozy Canadian demon romance, Match With the Demon, a recent empty nester dad matches on a dating site with an improbably handsome man, who turns […]

This Was Great, Except for that One Thing I Hated

Fierce at Heart by Zoe York

January 29, 2021 by Emmalita 4 Comments

This would be a 4 1/2 – 5 star read if it weren’t for the inclusion of some completely unnecessary trauma. Before I talk about what I hated, I want to talk about what I loved. Fierce at Heart explores a modern marriage of convenience between friends who want to support each other as they take on new, post military, careers. Isla Petersen had been Adam Kincaid’s commanding officer during a difficult tour in Afghanistan. A few years later, Adam is in Toronto about to […]

Her Big City Neighbor (Cider Bar Sisters #1) by Jackie Lau

August 25, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Jackie Lau has started a new series set in Toronto, the Cider Bar Sisters. The Cider Bar Sisters are a group of friends. Most of them met at the engineering program in college. I’m very excited about this series. I received an arc of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. Her Big City Neighbor introduces Amy to the Sisters. Amy inherits a house in Toronto and takes it as an opportunity to put some distance between herself and her small […]
