Book Review – A Shadow Soul (A Dance of Dragons 1)

Book Review – A Shadow Soul (A Dance of Dragons 1)

Lynn’s Review: For a book with dragon in the title, A Shadow Soul was significantly lacking in actual dragons. The first brief mention is +190 pages in. The actual dragon doesn’t appear until +320 pages. Of a total 335 pages. A bit of a let down there. Instead, we have Jin and Rhen, searching for […]

White Raven Review

White Raven Review

 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 […]

Incubus of Bourbon Street Review

Incubus of Bourbon Street Review

 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, […]

Stolen Magic Review

Stolen Magic Review

 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 […]

Book Review – Lady Midnight (Dark Artifices #1)

Book Review – Lady Midnight (Dark Artifices #1)

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. Best friends. And maybe a little bit more. I have mixed feelings about Lady Midnight. Parts I did thoroughly enjoy. And parts that I’m still confused […]

Mirror Mage Review

Mirror Mage Review

 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 […]
