Missing in Death is another novella in J.D. Robb’s In Death series, and it’s a quick read that packs just as much excitement as the full-length books. Even though it’s shorter, the story kept me interested from start to finish.
Nalini Singh has become one of my favorite authors after starting the Guild Hunter series. I love PNR books that have angels/archangels in the stories, and Nalini’s Guild Hunter series has become a favorite. I’m hoping to catch up on the series before she releases her next book later on. The fifth book in the series may only get four stars from me, but it had me in shock after finding out who was behind the murder of Neha’s consort. I also enjoyed the other mysteries that were uncovered in the book, too, with Jason and Mahiya. Nalini is an author who is a master of writing addicting PNR stories.
Despite the emotional toll this book put me through, it deserves five stars (ten stars really). When I was reading, it made it impossible to keep neutral expressions; my husband noticed my reactions, a sure sign of a fantastic read. I’m excited to read the rest of this series and the spin-off books.
If you enjoy Fantasy Romance with a human-turned-Fae navigating magic and politics, check out this trilogy. Fans of slow-burn romance with a morally grey MMC will also enjoy it.
(April 2026) Third Time reading Archangel’s Blade and I still love it. Dimitri & Honor’s story is an emotional one that needed to be told. If you didn’t like Dimitri in the first three books, you’ll understand him better in this book.
Our Italian Summer is the first book in Jennifer Probst’s Meet Me in Italy series. I wanted something different to read and knew this Women’s Fiction novel would be enjoyable. I enjoy Romance, but lately I wanted a change. This book has romantic subplots, but they are not the main focus. I wanted something that would evoke many emotions and relate to me. This book truly hit me in the feels, especially as a mother of two daughters, one adult and one teenager, who’s been keeping me on my toes. I related to these characters and understood their frustrations and happy moments through their POVs.
This book in the series will stay with me for years. It definitely earned five stars, even though it gave me nightmares. I’m glad I started the series in 2020 because I’m more than determined to catch up on this series. Each book gets better, and J.D. Robb has truly won me over as a dedicated fan.
My fourth time I’ve read this book, and it’s still a favorite. 😍
Archangel’s Consort by Nalini Singh is the third book in Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter series, and it’s just as addicting as the first two. If you haven’t started reading this series, I highly recommend you read them in order. If you don’t, you will miss out on reading Elena and Raphael’s relationship grow. I friggin’ love Elena and Raphael’s relationship, even though Raphael can be a tad overbearing at times with his protection.
Willing Prey is the first book in Allie Oleander’s Feral Love series. I found it through the publisher’s newsletters and social media, read the synopsis, and immediately wanted to check it out. It’s not like most of the Dark Romance books I usually read, so I was curious. Did it make me question my morals when I finished? Absolutely. One thing’s for sure: I will never be into Primal Play in real life.
I got the hardcover special edition of To Cage A Wild Bird by Brooke Fast through the FairyLoot Romantasy/Adult Fantasy Subscription box. If it weren’t for FairyLoot, I probably never would have found this book. As soon as I started reading, I knew I wouldn’t be able to put it down. It reminded me of other dystopian stories I’ve read and watched. I finished it quickly because the fast-paced plot and the challenges faced by Raven Thorne and the other characters kept me hooked.
I reread this book for the fourth time in 2026 and still love it as much as the first time I read it in 2014. This is the series I love rereading whenever I get a chance because the characters and world are among my favorites.
I picked up The Winter King by C.L. Wilson for a Romanceopoly Challenge prompt and am so glad I did. Though it’s over 500 pages, every page was worth it. Having read C.L. Wilson before, I was eager to start her Weathermages of Mystral series, especially because of her descriptive world-building and characters.
You Can Kill is the fourth installment in Rebecca Zanetti’s Laurel Snow series. When I’m not reading romance, I love Mysteries and Thrillers, and the Laurel Snow series became an instant favorite after I borrowed the first book via Libby. If you haven’t read the first three books, I highly recommend you do, since the storylines continue in each one. I’ll try not to spoil anything in my review, but I can’t make any promises, so consider this your warning before you read on.
At Grave’s End is the third installment in Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress series, and once again, this book consumed my life, but it also put me through the wringer. I may have to send Jeaniene Frost my therapy bill after reading this book because it put certain characters in a spiral, and me too.
