Julie’s Review: I really enjoyed the first installment of the Raven series. It had just enough teenage girl angst to be interesting and let the main character Piper be relatable without coming across as teenage drama queen. The book certainly took its time developing Piper and her struggle to accept her mother’s death and having […]
Julie’s Review: I didn’t realize this book was the sixth in a series when I requested it for review from Audiobook Boom. That might have been an oops on my part, but that didn’t keep me from enjoying the story. Yes, I would definitely have benefited from getting to know the characters over multiple books, […]
Julie’s Review: I’m seriously a fan of this series. As I’ve said in my reviews of Ancient Magic and Mirror Mage, the characters are fun and quirky and the adventures are fast-paced and exciting. The got-your-back friendships in this series continue to impress me. People who put themselves on the line for each other are a […]

Lynn’s Review: Lady Midnight is another story in the continuing saga of the Shadowhunters by Cassandra Clare. This time out, we learn about Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn. Parabatai.

Julie’s Review: Second novels in a series are usually problematic. Not Mirror Mage! I already shared how much I enjoyed Ancient Magic, and now I’ve had the chance to devour the next book too! What a great reading month it has been! The story line gets more complex; the situation far more dangerous. Cass is […]
Julie’s Review: I love a good vampire novel. I read a lot of them, and so I feel like I have a general expectation for the genre. Raphael was decent, but I expected more. I but didn’t really love it, didn’t hate it. It was just there. I did like our leading lady. Cyn is […]
Lynn’s Review: Love on the Malecon is by debut author Aubrey Parr. Full disclosure, I actually know Ms. Parr, and received this book in exchange for an honest review. For this review, I’m going with a Pro/Con list. Because I can. Pros: I’m incredibly proud of Ms. Parr for publishing her first book. That’s a […]
Julie’s Review: I’m excited to have gotten a chance to read because it was just what I needed. A fast-paced, exciting magical romp with kick-ass female characters, and a hot Scot to boot! Cassie and her friends don’t have memories of their youth but know that someone is out for them and that they are a […]
