Review: ‘Destined for an Early Grave’ by Jeaniene Frost

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.

Review: ‘The Winter King’ C.L. Wilson

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.

Review: ‘At Grave’s End’ by Jeaniene Frost

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.

Review: ‘The Flame and the Flower’ by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss

I’ve always been curious about the Bodice Rippers from the 70s and 80s, and figured it was time to give them a try. I’ve never read one before, not even in my teens. Back then, I was obsessed with horror and fantasy books that were highly inappropriate for me, but my parents weren’t really strict on what I read or even watched, especially since my parents knew how much reading meant to me. It wasn’t until my twenties that I read Romance, and I haven’t looked back.
