I picked up an ARC of Wake of Vultures by Lila Bowen at Book Expo many years ago and then just didn’t get around to reading it, despite it being totally up my alley. Then a few weeks ago I was in the mood to immerse myself in a good book, and it called toRead more Source ..read more

I want to close out all of the books that I read this year so I can update my Goodreads and have them count toward my 2020 reading challenge, so that I feel like I have accomplished something in this year where time is meaningless. Clearly writing detailed reviews has fallen by the wayside. SoRead more Source ..read more

Queen of the Darkness is the concluding volume of the Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop. In the previous books, we see a matriarchal society that has become twisted and dysfunctional, where the leaders abuse their power, harm those in their care, and poison the very fabric of society. It’s a very clear parallel andRead more Source ..read more

I received a review copy of The Curiosities waaaaay back in 2012, when I first was getting into book blogging and went through that phase when advanced reader copies were still a novelty and I acquired a lot of them and only to have to come to terms with the fact that I are humanRead more Source ..read more

Eidolon is the second book in Grace Draven’s Wraith Kings series. Radiance was a great example of the monster romance genre, and I enjoyed it tremendously. Eidolon focuses on the same characters, the human Ildiko and her Kai husband Brishen. In Radiance, it’s established that Brishen’s mother is evil, and that she’s maintained her youthfulRead more Source ..read more

Since the next of the Four Horsemen books hasn’t come out yet, my monster romance book club decided to try another new-to-us author. And I’m so glad that we did! Our goal was to find a monster romance book (sci-fi or fantasy) where the monster is a little bit more of a monster and notRead more Source ..read more

War is the second book in a post-apocalyptic romance series about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. But because they’re romance novels, each volume can stand alone, and at least with the first two books, the order that you read them shouldn’t be super important. The book’s heroine, Miriam, is living in war-torn Jerusalem. TheRead more Source ..read more

Enter Pestilence, by Laura Thalassa. Pestilence is set during the apocalypse. Pestilence is the first horseman of the apocalypse who comes to Earth.Read more Source ..read more

Note: this post will contain some minor plot spoilers for Daughter of the Blood, because it’s hard to talk about book two in this particular series without giving away the ending of the previous book. Throughout Daughter of the Blood, we followed the story of Jaenelle, a child who was born with inconceivable magical power.Read more Source ..read more

Daughter of the Blood is a dark fantasy novel by Anne Bishop. And I do mean dark. I started reading this book around a decade ago. There were things I loved about it, but I was also deeply uncomfortable with some of the more graphic violence, including sexual violence. But sometimes books that don’t workRead more Source ..read more
