FIRST IMPRESSION… Damn this chick is bad ass! She’s all kinds of dangerous with sass, don’t mess with Gin she’ll stab you, literally. THE NARRATOR… Lauren Fortgang’s narration is exceptional. She immediately pulls you into the story and makes each character, male and female, shine with her interpretation and knack for southern accents! I can honestly say I think I’ve been spoiled by the awesome team of Lauren Fortgang and Jennifer Estep. I never thought I’d enjoy listening to […]

Posted 30 January, 2013 by Lori @ Romancing the Dark Side in Reviews / 0 Comments

Filled with magic, mayhem and a snarky anti-heroine you’ll gravitate to! While I found that book starts off a little slow, you really get a good look into the life of the main character, Hedi Peacock which sets the tone of the story.

Posted 9 December, 2012 by Lori @ Romancing the Dark Side in Reviews, Romancing the Series / 2 Comments

Every now and then I read a series that takes me by surprise, steals my heart or flat out blows me away. Sometimes it’s paranormal romance, sometimes it’s urban fantasy and once in a while it might even be steampunk, regardless of their genre they all deliver. When I find theses rare jewels, I can’t help but read one book after the other…so I got to thinking (can you smell the wood burning?…haha): Why not spread the world and share […]
