Book Review – The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E. Reichert
Book Review – Feverborn by Karen Marie Moning
Book Review: The first five books of Karen Marie Moning's Fever series were captivating, riveting, and had a clear direction. Even though Burned, didn't have a traditional cohesive plot like the previous books in the series, the non-stop action gave that installment this ...
Book Review – The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead
Book Review: The Glittering Court is the first book in Richelle Mead's new fantasy/historical-like series that I would describe as an Elizabethan "The Bachelor with ladies' choice" meets colonial America meets the Gold Rush. That's a lot to take in, I know. As a loyal fan ...

Book Review – Last Will and Testament by Dahlia Adler
Book Review As a forbidden love junkie, I'd wanted to read Last Will and Testament for a long time. If you're a fan of student/teacher love stories with loads of "but we can'ts" and "but I want to's" then you should totally check this out. Even though there were parts that ...

Book Review – Blood Passage by Heather Demetrios
