Black Author: Catherine Winters Reviewer: Gikany & Una Rating: D What We’re Talking About: Black is the first novel in the trilogy entitled Josephine.

Premonitions Author: Jamie Schultz Reviewer: Gikany & Una Rating: C+ What We’re Talking About: Premonitions is an interesting novel that follows the bad guys as they try to survive the larger predators of the crime world. It is slow to start and Gikany and Una found it to be a bit lacking, though the […]
Shadows & Dreams Author: Alexis Hall Reviewer: B. Rating: A- What I’m Talking About: Kate’s back! I liked her a great deal while reading the first story in the series, Iron & Velvet, but she’s even better this time around. Having survived (barely) the perils of her last case, during which she did, indeed, get […]
Property of a Lady Faire Author: Simon R. Green Reviewer: Gikany & Una Rating: A- What We’re Talking About: Witty as always, Simon R. Green’s Property of a Lady Faire was a fun romp. The latest in the Secret Histories series, Gikany and Una enjoyed the twists and turns and, of course, the wonderful banter […]
Sixth Grave on the Edge Author: Darynda Jones Reviewer: Jen Twimom Rating: C+ What I’m Talking About: Note: this story contains spoilers from earlier books in the series. In addition, there is a mild spoiler dealing with the open-ended marriage proposal from the previous book. If you don’t want to know how Charley deals with […]

Raising Chaos Author: Elizabeth Corrigan Reviewer: Gikany and Una Rating: A- What We’re Talking About: The second book of The Earthbound Angels series, Raising Chaos, was already out by the time we finished reading Oracle of Philadelphia, the first book in the series.

Stone Cold Author: Devon Monk Reviewer: Gikany and Una Rating: A- What We’re Talking About: Stone Cold is the final book in the Broken Magic series. Gikany and Una are sad that Shamus and Terric’s story is over since we have enjoyed this world and these two unlikely heroes. It doesn’t happen often, but Una […]
Shadowbound Author: Dianne Sylvan Reviewer: Gikany and Una Rating: B+ What We’re Talking About: Shadowbound is the fifth book in The Shadow World series. We found this release to be primarily transitional with one heck of a shock near the end that still has us reeling. Gikany and Una will attempt to give our review […]
Far Shore Author: Traci L. Slatton Reviewer: Gikany and Una Rating: B What We’re Talking About: Far Shore was a surprising follow-up to Cold Light. Gikany and Una liked this third edition in the After series. For those who have followed our reviews of this series, yes, the After trilogy is now a series, but […]
Bladed Magic Author: JC Daniels Reviewer: Jen Twimom Rating: B- What I’m Talking About: Bladed Magic is a short novella that takes place a “few years ago,” just after Kit leaves her family and is living with her friend/guardian, TJ.
