RECOMMENDED: Song of Blood & Stone by L. Penelope is $1.99! This is the first book in the Earthsinger Chronicles and is an amazing fantasy romance. Penelope’s writing is so underrated, in my opinion. I also recommend her podcast episode with Sarah; Penelope has her own podcast as well: My Imaginary Friends.
How to Date Your Dragon by Molly Harper is an Audible original production. This means that it’s an audiobook written exclusively for Audible. The audiobook is performed by Amanda Ronconi and Jonathan Davis, and runs about six and a half hours at normal speed. I listen to most everything at 1.4-1.5x normal speed, so it took me less time. The plot is part paranormal romance and part mystery. Jillian Ramsay is an anthropologist who works for … Continue reading Audiobook: How to Date Your Dragon by Molly Harper

It is the stuff that comfort reads are made of, with a nice balance of humor and horror and an occasional insight into the ugly mechanics of prejudice.

However, in the case of Where the … Continue reading Where the Wild Things Bite by Molly Harper
I’ve been dying to try the Half-Moon Hollow series for a while and I couldn’t resist a book-loving heroine and a charming vampire pairing. This is also my first book that I’ve read in the series. I’d say readers can make it through without any prior knowledge of the previous books, but I’m sure reading them would help them have a better connection to secondary characters who come up later. The heroine, Anna, was hired … Continue reading Where the Wild Things Bite by Molly Harper
This RITA® Reader Challenge was written by me. This book was nominated in the Best Contemporary Romance category.

Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Maeve: Her bra sheath slipped. The angle’s also wrong to go through her heart. And no arms? The longer I look at this, the more wrong it feels.

From Jen: Not sure what’s wrong with this cover but it’s just wrong. Sarah: That is some … Continue reading Cover Snark: When Your Hair Doubles as a Fidget Toy
