Susan Sto Helit goes to a boarding school, and for the lessons she’s less interested in, she has a tendency to fade into the woodwork – literally. Susan has the ability to fade away, should she so wish it. Turns out, this is because her grandfather is none other than Death, and when he goes missing, Susan, as his closest relative, is required to take over his duties for a while. Being deeply pragmatic and rational, thanks to her first rate education, it takes Susan […]
A publicist and a drummer go from friends to lovers
DISCLAIMER! I got this ARC from NetGalley in return for a fair and unbiased review. David Rivera, known as the Gentleman of Rock for his nice manners and penchant for wearing bespoke suits, is the drummer in famous rock band Schoolboy Choir. He’s in love with Thea Arsana, the band’s publicist, and has told her about his feelings, but she has a firm policy not to mix business with pleasure. That’s even before you factor in the fact that her last boyfriend was a complete bastard, […]
A librarian and a rockstar walk into a lift
DISCLAIMER! This ARC was given to me through NetGalley in return for a fair and unbiased review. WARNING.

A New Adult romance with rock stars

James “Jimmy” Ferris is the lead singer of the hugely popular, world famous rock band Stage Dive and he’s had a rough few months. Having hit rock bottom after […]
Contains music, sex, and musical euphemisms for sex.
The Stage Dive series by Kylie Scott is two books deep, and by the end it is likely that each member of the fictional world-famous rock band Stage Dive will end up with his one and only. I saw Malin’s review of Play, the second book in the series, and thought it sounded like fun. I don’t read a lot of straight-up contemporary romance, possibly because it’s easier for me to process these happily-ever-after stories in worlds that don’t exist or that I don’t have context […]
