Taking the Heat Author: Victoria Dahl Reviewer: Jen Twimom Rating: A What I’m Talking About: Taking the Heat is one of the books that I eye’d for review, but knew I’d be over-stretching myself, so I passed it up. But the reviews were so good, I ended up one-clicking it from Amazon and found some […]

Lady of Magick Author: Sylvia Izzo Hunter Reviewer: Una Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: Ms. Hunter has done it again! I enjoyed this second installment in the hauntingly beautiful and mysterious Noctis Magicae series. Though Lady of Magick moves slowly, it is only because it is like a chess match; pieces slowly moved into […]
The Highlander’s Bride Author: Amanda Forester Reviewer: Nima Rating: A+ What I’m Talking About: There are something like a million books out there (ok, I’m exaggerating, but there are a lot) that share the title or some variation of The Highlander’s Bride. We like our Scottish heroes and imagining what’s under—or not under—their kilts. Come […]
Ricochet Author: Keri Lake Reviewer: VampBard Rating: A+ What I’m Talking About: Ricochet eviscerated me. I felt drawn and quartered near the end. And then, Ms. Lake—with the precision of a surgeon—stitched all my pieces back together. This is not a title for the squeamish; the author put a warning in her blurb for a […]

Old Dog, New Tricks Author: Hailey Edwards Reviewer: VampBard Rating: A What I’m Talking About: *gasps like fish-out-of-water* Well, that was certainly unexpected. In a good way. Fans of Hailey Edwards’ Black Dog series will certainly want to pick up Old Dog, New Tricks. This little run of the series—Theirry’s story—does come to a close […]
Magic Shifts Author: Ilona Andrews Reviewer: Jen Twimom Rating: A+ What I’m Talking About: It’s honestly becoming difficult to write reviews for the Kate Daniels series because I cannot find the words to express how amazing the books and overall series are. The world building, story telling, plot development, characters’ relationships… every aspect of the […]
