Julie’s Review: Undead Gods is a gritty fantasy set in a kingdom that is deteriorating and magic has been lost. In fact, any magic use is forbidden and anyone found to be “cursed” by the undead gods with magic is executed. The characters are complicated and driven to their own goals. Enter our FMC, […]
Julie’s Review: : This was a Netgalley read. Vicious Princess is a fast-paced fun read. It’s over 400 pages and I read it in a handful of days, which is saying a lot. The action starts and never stops, the stakes are high, violence and brutality are all around, and the spice is spicing. […]

Lynn’s Review: Lone Star Book Tours recently toured Mistletoe Miracles (see my author interview here). Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to read it for the tour. When I saw it was available on Netgalley, I thought I would check it out. I’m always up for a Hallmark-y romance. Especially when Texas Cowboys are involved. […]
Julie’s Review: It took me forever to finally get around to reading The Forever Song (haha, yea, pun intended), which is kind of strange seeing as how much I enjoyed The Eternity Cure and how broken up I was over that ending! Warning: this review contains spoilers for The Eternity Cure. I found The Forever […]
Julie’s Review: Reading Enders was a struggle for me. I started out reading the e-galley, but put it down around 20% or so. Then I just didn’t pick it back up for quite a few months. Eventually I decided I have other books with higher priority to read with my limited sit down and read […]
Julie’s Review: I liked Point of Retreat as a follow up to Slammed, but I did like Slammed a lot more. I didn’t know at first that Point of Retreat would be told from Will’s POV, so that was a nice surprise. Although, now I’m not sure if I’ll be interested in reading the third […]
