Latest Book Reviews

I really enjoyed this story and getting to know Finnar better after his brief introduction in Tomlin although it isn't necessary to read that book first and this story is a standalone in a whole new series. This book was so much fun and I loved the way it blended a Fairy Tale Retelling of Little Red Riding Hood with an alien shifter romance so well. Scarlett and Finnar made a really nice couple and I enjoyed getting to know them both. The epilogue at the end was fun and I am really looking forward to continuing this series as it blends two genres I love (Fairy Tale Retelllings and Alien Romances) together so well. The next book Alien Huntsman: An Alien Shifter Romance is supposed to be about Scarlett's friend Tessa & Korrin so I look forward to getting to know them both better and maybe even see more about how Finnar & Scarlett are doing in the future.

This is the first book in the revamped Purple Oak Oasis Series. I really enjoyed getting to know Brew (Rooibos Brewster - Tea Witch) and Katie (Katheryn Fields - Dog Ward) in this story as well as Katie's dog familiar Banjo. Their relationship was fun to see develop from being longtime friends to more. This book also had a lot of other characters that I am looking forward to getting to know better as the series continues including both Brew & Katie's siblings.

I really enjoyed this prequel to the Brides of the Lonesome Creek Orcs series and am looking forward to reading more from this series. Greel was such a sweet character and I loved seeing how his and Jessi's feelings and relationship developed throughout the story as well as getting to know them each individually with the perspective changing to show both their views. Greel's family were also fun and I hope to see more of them and Jessi's grandmother in future books.

This is the first book in the Fated Mates of the Ferlaern Warriors Series and I enjoyed the world and characters that were introduced. The story was well told and brought me into the characters world and I look forward to reading more of this series in the future.

This was another great addition to the Serpents of Serant series and I was so glad to get to finally get to know Reid better as well as Sazzie since both have been in previous books in this series. The two of them were really good together and I enjoyed getting to see their relationship and individual characters develop throughout the book. I hope that there will be more books in this series in the future and look forward to reading more by this author.

This was another really fun and enjoyable story by Sabrina Silvers. This story has a lot of entertaining characters in it as well as good world building to bring the reader into the story. I liked both Maeve (witch) & Saul (bear shifter) and seeing how the two of them got together. Saul's nephew Brady was also really adorable! I look forward to reading more books set in the town of Grimm Mawr and hope to hear more about Wolfe Bloodgoode who had a small epilogue chapter at the end that hints at a potential story for the future.

This was my first book by Pepper McGraw and from this series and I thought it was a really cute story with several fun characters. While I enjoyed this book as a standalone I am sure that it is even more enjoyable when you are familiar with some of the side characters who have had stories in previous books and I have added a few to my TBR list.

This was another fun addition to the Five Kingdoms series and I enjoyed getting to know Lothar better as well as getting to know Jana and see how their relationship developed during this story. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone but it was fun getting to see Wulf and Kari from the previous book briefly and I am looking forward to reading Egon's story in the next book The Orc's Bonded Bride.

This was another great addition to the Alice in the Country of Hearts series. I really enjoy getting to see different sides of the various characters. This volume focuses on the relationship between Alice and Julius as well as the friendship between both Ace & Julius as well as Ace & Alice. I look forward to reading more about these characters in the future.

This story was really interesting and provided an opportunity to get to know the Clockmaker Julius Monrey a bit better as well as provide the reader an opportunity to see more of how him and Alice interact with one another.

This volume also contains a couple of chapters about the series "Crimson Empire" at the end that were pretty interesting.
Crimson Empire: Tactics
Crimson Empire: Stay Here

Contains Episodes 8 - 12: This volume was a great continuation to the first volume in the series and did a good job of tying things up at the end. I enjoyed seeing the relationship between Elliot and Alice as the story continued as well as seeing how Elliot changed through his relationship with her. I feel that I am a bigger fan of Elliot's now thanks to this series and look forward to reading more about him in some of the other series about Alice and her adventures.

Volume Contains Episodes 1 - 4: This volume revolves around Alice and her complicated relationship with Peter White. Although Peter is not my favorite character this volume was still really fun to read and did show his sweet side as well as a fun bonus chapter (Episode 00) that showed Peter and Nightmare talking and when Peter made his decision to bring Alice to the Country of Hearts before the series began. I look forward to seeing what happens next and reading the next volume f this series.

This was an enjoyable Snow Queen Reimagining with excellent world building and characters.

Frostbitten Sparks by Alina Riley
This was an interesting Christmas novella about a human woman named Zoe with a bakery and the alien named Stodax she ends up with. Stodax had a lot of issues understanding the holidays and life in his new home but Zoe helped him to begin learning how to navigate things in his new life. The epilogue at the end was a nice way to show how they were doing a year later.

This is the fourth book in the Horned Holidays series and I am glad to say it lived up to my expectations after the first three. I loved getting to know Yede and Gemma as well as Gemma's son Liam in this story and thought they made a cute family. I was happy with how everything worked out for all the characters in this story and thought the epilogue was really nice, including the drop in from Krampusarian from Krampus and the Crone. I look forward to reading many more books by this author in the future and maybe even another in this series.

This was my first book by Lauren Esker and I thought it was a fun and lighthearted holiday romance. I enjoyed getting to know Joy and Bar in this story and seeing how they overcome the problems they encounter. I also liked Joy's sister Leah and am looking forward to seeing her story in The Claiming of the Shrew.

This was a nice, quick alien holiday book that I enjoyed reading. I haven't read the Zyanthan Warriors series yet and was still able to enjoy the story as a standalone but think it would be enjoyed more if you are already familiar with the characters in this story. Reading about the Zyanthan Warriors thoughts about Christmas traditions like mistletoe and Christmas tree's was amusing. I look forward to reading more books set within this world in the future.

I really enjoyed this book and thought it was a really fun addition to this series of standalone books in the multi author series set in Winter Bliss. Birdie & Rex were both really fun characters to get to know and I loved all of Birdie’s animals that were mentioned throughout the book. I enjoyed seeing how their relationship developed as well as how they both grew as characters on their own. I look forward to reading more books set in the small town of Winter Bliss in the future.

This is my first book by M.J. Padgett as well as being the first time I have read a retelling for The Princess Who Never Smiled. This is a story I was completely unfamiliar with but I thought it was a very interesting book with many well written characters and an engaging story. I have enjoyed all the books in the Autumn Fairy Tales multi author series I have read so far and look forward to exploring more of them and discovering more authors I like from it in the future.

This was my first book that I have read set in Arixxia Fields / Frosttown and I thought it was a fun & steamy holiday romance.
