School for Psychics by K.C. Archer – (a flashback book review)
Nobody’s perfect – not the main character of K.C. Archer’s School for Psychics, Teddy Cannon – and clearly, not me. Because despite loving this book and reviewing it’s sequel here on the blog (spoiler – there is a sequel), I apparently only reviewed the book itself on Amazon and Goodreads. And since I enjoyed it so much, I thought I’d do a bit of a flashback review and share it now. (And if you decide to read it now, YOU don’t have to wait for the sequel. See how thoughtful I am?) I received an advanced copy of the book from the publisher via NetGalley; all opinions are my own.…

Sing Me Forgotten by Jessica S. Olson – Book Review
Enough time has passed to almost forgive author Jessica S Olson for RIPPING OUT MY HEART in her novel Sing Me Forgotten, a hauntingly beautiful gender-bent retelling of Phantom of the Opera. Almost.

My Thoughts On Sing Me Forgotten This was a beautiful, haunting and, I’ll say it, heartwrenching book (GLARES AT THE AUTHOR). Sing Me Forgotten is a gender-bent retelling of Phantom of…

Magic For Liars by Sarah Gailey – Book Review
I’m catching up on all the book reviews I meant to do just before a polar vortex gripped Texas and knocked out all power1. The only writing I did last week was on paper, and unfortunately, the writing the week before that was mostly in my head. Sorry you didn’t get to read it. It was really good. Just like Magic for Liars was REALLY good. I loved it! (How smooth was that segue???)

The Awakening by Nora Roberts – A Book Review
I have my list of tried and true authors whose books I always look for because they never disappoint. I know they will let me escape from the world for a while, and their writing style is so familiar, it’s almost a comfort. Nora Roberts (including her writing as J.D. Robb) is one such author, and her upcoming release The Awakening did not disappoint. The most disappointing thing about any series she writes is that I know I’ll have to wait for the next book to be released. Read on to see what tickled me with this book. I received an advanced copy of the book from St. Martin’s Press…

Prelude for Lost Souls by Helene Dunbar – A Book Review
Oh bejeebus. I’ve written a review for Helene Dunbar’s Prelude for Lost Souls review four times now, and the internet has crashed or WordPress has frozen. And then there was that time that I had the whole thing done on NetGalley – and then NetGalley refreshed and my review disappeared before I could submit. Each time my work has gone into the ether, and then I forget that I have to rewrite it – again – so I hope that I can capture all the magic that was Prelude for Lost Souls without needing to read it again. I received an advanced digital copy of this book from Sourcebooks Fire via NetGalley;…
