{Blog Tour} Review: SILK by Chris Karlsen + Giveaway

{Blog Tour} Review: SILK by Chris Karlsen + Giveaway

  I’m a fan of novels set in Victorian England so I was instantly drawn to SILK’s story line and setting…who can say no to a murder mystery and the notorious Jack the Ripper?! Definitely not me… It didn’t hurt that the book has a lovely cover (yes I’m a cover hussy). It looks a bit romantic, yet gothic, which is exactly what you get from Chris Karlsen’s writing. But don’t be fooled, while there are some romantic elements weaved […]

{Blog Tour} Review: Indigo Dawn by Elle J Rossi

{Blog Tour} Review: Indigo Dawn by Elle J Rossi

Vampires, witches and pixie dust…Oh My! I can’t get enough of Josie and Keller and INDIGO DAWN finally gave me what I was craving…a full length story with these two. Just when I think things can’t get any crazier for Josie, Elle J Rossi surprises me with a new adventure for the snarky Huntress. Adding some pixies to the mix definitely made for an intriguing tale!

Review: Black Rook by Kelly Meade

Review: Black Rook by Kelly Meade

Kelly Meade has solidified my love of werewolves with her refreshing new alphas of Cornerstone, the McQueens are beyond SWOON-WORTHY! Kelly Meade has definitely changed the game with her new world of werewolves. I’ve read plenty of books with werewolves, they’re my second favorite supe, but I haven’t come across anything like this fascinating world of loup garou and magic Meade’s created. World building can sometimes overpower a “first in a series” book, but I found myself devouring every detail […]


{Blog Tour} Review: See You in Hell by Demelza Carlton + Giveaway

{Blog Tour} Review: See You in Hell by Demelza Carlton + Giveaway

A humorous tale of an angel who gets a less than heavenly assignment and unexpectedly finds romance with the Lord of Hell! SEE YOU IN HELL is a light and fun read that’s two parts office satire and one part paranormal romance. Set in a corporate environment, it’s a unique premise to the usual angel vs. demons with tons of sexual innuendos and plenty of wit. Anyone who’s ever worked in an office can identify with Carlton’s parody of HELL! […]


{Blog Tour} Mini Review: Alabaster Nights by Elle J Rossi

{Blog Tour} Mini Review: Alabaster Nights by Elle J Rossi

  Sexy Irish vampire meets his match in a smart-mouthed supernatural huntress! ALABASTER NIGHTS is a short but fantastic introduction to Ms. Rossi’s characters Josie and Keller of The Josie Hawk Chronicles and tells the story of how they initially met. Told by alternate POVs, we get a feel for the hero and heroine’s distinct personalities through Ms. Rossi’s great character development. I’m not always a fan of dual narratives (this book includes third and first person), but in this […]


{Blog Tour} Review: Vampire’s Thirst by Cynthia Garner + Giveaway

{Blog Tour} Review: Vampire’s Thirst by Cynthia Garner + Giveaway

Another sexy installment to the series. I wasn’t expecting all the smexiness between Duncan and Kimber, but even the zombie apocalypse couldn’t stop these two from keeping their hands off each other! VAMPIRE’S THIRST picks up right where VAMPIRE’S HUNGER left off, with the zombie apocalypse in full swing. Since de-throning his vampire Queen, Duncan is acclimating to his new role as leader which is proving to be tougher than killing a horde of zombies! The humans living in the […]

Review: Vampire’s Hunger by Cynthia Garner

Necromancers…vampires and zombies, oh my – a sexy start to a page turning series! VAMPIRE’S HUNGER introduces us to a fascinating new paranormal world where necromancers work with the police using their talent of raising the dead (usually temporarily) to question the deceased and solve crimes.

Review: Donners of the Dead by Karina Halle

Pioneer life meets The Walking Dead! DONNERS OF THE DEAD weaves history with the supernatural for a nail biting thrill ride! I love that Karina Halle ventures back in time with her zombies, instead of setting the story in the usual post apocalyptic world. Life is already harsh in 1851 and throwing in the undead raises the stakes at a chance of survival! Our protagonist Eve is a bright, young woman who has been dealt a bad hand in life […]
