Book Review: Crown Me Dead & Crown Me Yours (Duology)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the second series I have read by Liv Zander, and I have to say, I absolutely adore this author’s voice. There were moments reading this very dark, and at some points grotesque romance duology where I had to stop and re-read a few lines here, a paragraph there, because the prose wasContinue reading “Book Review: Crown Me Dead & Crown Me Yours (Duology)”

Book Review: The Parasitic Mind by Dr. Gad Saad

George Orwell wrote: “In times of deceit, telling the truth will become a revolutionary act.” I feel like, as a society, we have been living in “times of deceit” for a long time. Somewhere along the way, objective truth became inconvenient, uncomfortable, and sadly uncommon. Dr. Saad’s book sat on my bookshelf for about 2Continue reading “Book Review: The Parasitic Mind by Dr. Gad Saad”

Book Review: Phantasma by Kaylie Smith

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”

Oh hey, it’s been a minute.

Spring is here and Magic in Her Blood (MIHB) has been unleashed into the world for a little over two months now, I couldn’t be happier with its reception so far. For those of you who have been with me since the beginning, I am forever grateful that you have stayed with me on thisContinue reading “Oh hey, it’s been a minute.”

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”
