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

by Leave a Comment

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

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 […]

Zomromcom: Zombies and vampires and love, oh my

Zomromcom by Olivia Dade

Even after the Harlot’s Bay experience, the newest of Olivia Dade’s works sounded interesting. This takes place in a version of our world where creatures from myth and legend have been revealed to be real by the fact that technology is everywhere and they can no longer hide from cameras and videos. Vampires, werewolves, trolls, fae, witches, etc are all real, and have been forced to start integrating into standard human society. As a result, non-powered humans did some dodgy experiments on themselves to try […]

Harlot’s Bay: A bit hit and miss

At First Spite by Olivia Dade

Second Chance Romance by Olivia Dade

CBR Bingo: Season – Second Chance Romance is set in autumn, and we see the characters dressing for the season on at least one of their dates. I really like (most of) Olivia Dade’s Spoiler Alert series, so I decided to give her other work a try. I ended up DNFing At First Spite, but did finish Second Chance Romance even if I was a bit unenthusiastic about it. At First Spite Even from the beginning, I didn’t love this one. The premise is that the […]

Spoiler Alert: No spoilers, that’s just the name of the series

Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade

All The Feels by Olivia Dade

Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade

CBR Bingo: Bird – in All the Feels, Lauren is described as a bird-ish looking woman, and is eventually nicknamed Wren by Alex – which leads to both some miscommunication and hurt feelings and the resolution thereof. Overall, this series is light, fluffy, and mostly falls within the bounds of the suspension of disbelief. Each book follows a different actor (or two actors in the last book) from the fictional Gods of the Gates television series and their romantic interest. Each book takes place nearly […]

It’s a love story, baby, just say yes

It's a Love Story by Annabelle Monaghan

by Leave a Comment

Dear authors: please stop writing in present tense. I hate it. That said, I didn’t hate this book. I wish it hadn’t been written in present tense, but whatever. I’ll let that go. Mostly. Jane is a former child star turned… I’m not really sure. Is she a movie producer? It’s unclear. She works at a production company and does something with getting movies made. I’ll admit that either it wasn’t explicit in the book or I wasn’t paying attention, or more likely, I don’t […]
