Eventide by Sarah Goodman

Title: Eventide Author: Sarah Goodman Series: n/a A good debut! I would like to thank Sarah Goodman, Macmillan-Tor/Forge, and NetGalley for allowing me to read a free ARC in exchange for an honest review. This book was pretty good! It was paced and structured well, and while I didn’t particularly like Verity, she was a strong, independent character whom I certainly cared about and wanted things to work out for. I think what I mostly disliked about her was that …

A Pretty Deceit by Anna Lee Huber

Title: A Pretty Deceit Author: Anna Lee Huber Series: Verity Kent Mystery #4 Great but unremarkable I would like to thank Anna Lee Huber, Kensington Books, and NetGalley for allowing me to read a free ARC in exchange for an honest review. Not much to say. This was a great book, but not exactly noteworthy. Quickly but steadily paced, the story moved along from one thing to the next with no dinking around, which was really nice. Verity remains a …

Say No More by Karen Rose

Title: Say No More Author: Karen Rose Series: Romantic Suspense #24; Sacramento #2 Pretty meh I would like to thank Karen Rose, Berkley, and NetGalley for allowing me to read a free ARC in exchange for an honest review. I used to adore Karen Rose’s books and eagerly awaited new ones, but I was not eager to read this book and had a hard time getting into it. Either Rose’s writing is getting boring, or my taste in books is …

Title: Bewitched Author: Darynda Jones Series: Betwixt and Between #2 A filler episode, but still entertaining Thank you so much to Diane Crawford for letting me invite myself on the blog tour, LOL, and thank you to Darynda Jones for allowing me to read an ARC! (I believe she’s also the publisher but in case I have that wrong, thank you also to Feather and Leaf, LLC.) You know those TV show episodes that don’t have much to do with …

Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles

Title: Where Dreams Descend Author: Janella Angeles Series: Kingdom of Cards #1 Had potential, but ultimately a disappointing drag I would like to thank Meghan Harrington for inviting me to join the blog tour, and also Janella Angeles, Wednesday Books/St. Martin’s Press, and NetGalley for allowing me to read a free ARC in exchange for an honest review. Every time I tried to read this, I either spaced off or fell asleep. I wasted so much time over the last …

Title: The Siren and the Deep Blue Sea Author: Kerrelyn Sparks Series: Embraced (by Magic) #5 A satisfying conclusion at last I would like to thank Kerrelyn Sparks, Kensington Books, and NetGalley for allowing me to read a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Ghosts I Have Known by Nhys Glover

Title: Ghosts I Have Known Author: Nhys Glover Series: Greyworld #1 Meh characters, predictable plot, too much “telling” Thanks to Maria Inot for offering me the opportunity to review this book, and thanks to Nhys Glover and TCK Publishing for allowing me to read a free copy in exchange for an honest review. Buy link: • Amazon • This is a well-intentioned but poorly written story that doesn’t develop a romance so much as act as a platform to explore …

A Dash of Romance by Paullett Golden

Title: A Dash of Romance Author: Paullett Golden Series: Romantic Encounters Anthology Series #1 More is certainly not less Much thanks to the author, who provided me with a free ARC in exchange for an honest review. I don’t think there are any big spoilers, but beware to those who are super sensitive, I guess. This book is comprised of 15 different stories, all sharing genre and tone and style, so it’s not jarring to go from one to the …
