Owl and the City of Angels Author: Kristi Charish Reviewer: Una Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: After the cliffhanger of the previous novel, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect in this sequel to Owl and the Japanese Circus. What I found was another gripping and exciting adventure for Owl, along with watching her […]
Rock Redemption Author: Nalini Singh Reviewer: Jen Twimom Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: Bad boy rocker Noah St. John is one-quarter of the wildly successful band, Schoolboy Choir. Haunted by events that happened when he was just six years old, Noah deals with his pain and fears by drinking and having sex. Lots and […]
Mine Author: HelenKay Dimon Reviewer: VampBard Rating: A What I’m Talking About: Sometimes I read a book and need to sit down and process what I’ve read. It takes me awhile to formulate my review. Mine was like that for me. In a good way. This third title in HelenKay Dimon’s Holton Woods series definitely […]
Shadows at Midnight Author: Amanda Bonilla Reviewer: B. Rating: A What I’m Talking About: Though I’ve tried to keep this review as spoiler-free as possible, there were a couple of things that I would have appreciated knowing before I began reading Shadows at Midnight. What Darian goes through in the beginning of the story is […]
Pure Wicked Author: Shayla Black Reviewer: Jen Twimom Rating: A What I’m Talking About: I’ve read a handful of the 1,001 Dark Nights books, to include Forever Wicked by Shayla Black (Goodreads Review), and I have honestly enjoyed the stories, regardless if I’ve read the original series. Such is the case with Ms. Black’s offerings. […]
From the author: Hi, everyone! I’m so excited to be on the Base Instincts blog tour. Raze and Slake’s story was a labor of love for me, and while theirs isn’t the first m/m story I’ve written, it’s a first for the Demonica/Lords of Deliverance series. If you’re curious about how it all started, be […]
Nothing Serious Author: Jessica Jarman Reviewer: Jen Twimom Rating: A+ What I’m Talking About: Nothing Serious by Jessica Jarman is one of those special books, when upon finishing it, all you want is to read more; you’re sad it’s over; and you find that you must squee about how awesome it is with others who’ve […]
Welcome to my weekly feature that focuses on audiobooks. It’s time to… Audiobook review: Archangel’s Enigma Author: Nalini Singh Narrator: Justine Eyre Listening Speed: 1.0x Reviewer: Una Overall Rating: A Audiobook Source: Tantor Media/publisher What I’m Talking About: This was my first time listening to a Guild Hunter series book rather than reading it. I truly enjoyed […]
Breakout Author: Ann Aguirre Reviewer: Nima Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: Breakout picks up right where Havoc left off, completing the Dred Chronicles. The series should be read in order. New readers of the trilogy will have the luxury of reading the series without the publication gaps the rest of us have experienced. However, […]
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 […]

Archangel’s Enigma Author: Nalini Singh Reviewer: Jen Twimom Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: Archangel’s Enigma picks up the story of angels, vampires, and Hunters roughly seven months after the conclusion of the previous book. Readers learn that Archangel Lijuan is, in fact, alive, yet not whole. Still viewing herself as a goddess, she seeks […]
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 […]
