I decided to read this book after seeing it pop up in several book-related posts on FaceBook and BookTok. If you’ve been following my reviews for a while, you know I gravitate toward the Fantasy genre, often, so this book piqued my interest. I knew nothing about the book other than it was a darkContinue reading “Book Review: Phantasma by Kaylie Smith”

Book Review: Scotland by History Brought Alive
History Brought Alive does a great job of summarizing Scotland’s history with this book. It was interesting to see how the nation grew and developed over the past two millennia. As someone with Scottish heritage, I appreciate the time and effort of History Brought Alive and their team in researching, compiling the facts, and presentingContinue reading “Book Review: Scotland by History Brought Alive”
What I’ve Been Reading…
Crisp nights, colorful leaves, and magical sunsets! I love Autumn. It’s my favorite time of year. Perfect for snuggling up and reading! I said I would post about the dark romance books I’ve been reading lately. Below are some snack-sized reviews that you will hopefully find intriguing enough for you to read the books yourselfContinue reading “What I’ve Been Reading…”
Book Review: House of Bane and Blood by Alexis L. Menard
Alexis Menard knocked this book out of the park. I loved it. House of Bane and Blood had many of my favorite tropes—enemies to lovers, and magic in a real-world setting. “Two households, both alike in dignity” (thank you, Mr. Shakespeare). Set in the age of steam, Camilla is the heiress of her family’s company,Continue reading “Book Review: House of Bane and Blood by Alexis L. Menard”
Book Review: Fairy by Morgan Daimler
As always, Daimler has given those interested in Irish myths and folklore a solid and thoroughly researched work, particularly that which refers to the Other crowd. Fairy not only lays out the popular ideas surrounding the fair folk but also draws from authentic Irish lore found in the limited textual records and writings that DaimlerContinue reading “Book Review: Fairy by Morgan Daimler”
Book Review: The Fae Princes by Nikki St. Crowe
This series has been a trip. Despite it violently thrusting me out of my comfort zone (not entirely a bad thing) and exposing me to reverse harem dark romance (not my thing, I’ve discovered), I have grown to adore St. Crowe’s version of Neverland, the Peter Pan story, and characters that are dark and twisty,Continue reading “Book Review: The Fae Princes by Nikki St. Crowe”
Book Review: Their Vicious Darling by Nikki St. Crowe
After the third book in this series, I am no longer clutching my pearls, but I can confidently say that I prefer a committed, two-person romantic relationship. It doesn’t matter how dark of a romance, as long as it’s between two consenting adults…not like 5 consenting adults. I guess that makes me old-fashioned or somethingContinue reading “Book Review: Their Vicious Darling by Nikki St. Crowe”
Book Review: The Dark One by Nikki St. Crowe
Shadows and pirates and fairies — Oh My! The Dark One is the second book in Nikki St. Crowe’s Vicious Lost Boys series and I am so glad I didn’t let book one (The Never King) turn me away from it. This book, while still full of debauchery, has an enemies-to-lovers vibe that I can’tContinue reading “Book Review: The Dark One by Nikki St. Crowe”
Book Review: The Never King by Nikki St. Crowe
I picked up this book with extremely high expectations. Who doesn’t love a good re-imagining or twist on something familiar? The Never King spins the familiar story of Peter Pan, Neverland, and Captain Hook into a dark, debauched romance with magic and menace. If you are not a fan of reverse harem stories (which IContinue reading “Book Review: The Never King by Nikki St. Crowe”
Book Review: Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver
I see this book recommended everywhere, and since I’ve been on a bit of a dark romance kick lately, it was an obvious choice to read. I had no preconceptions before I read it so I was delightfully ignorant about what I was getting myself into. Imagine if you can, the deliciously dark almost tabooContinue reading “Book Review: Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver”
