Book Review
Hunt on Dark Waters by Katee Robert
This is my first Katee Robert book and it won’t be my last. I’m already desperate for the next in the series! Evelyn is a witch with a penchant for theft. Raised by Bunny, her grandmother, she learnt a very particular worldview and the morals that go with it. Those morals include allowing theft if someone is rich, or rude, or has just hurt your feelings, which Lizzie, her situationship, just did. Evelyn spends the … Continue reading Hunt on Dark Waters by Katee Robert
Cover Awe: Sparkly and Sunny
It’s time to look at covers we like! Cover illustration by Colin Verdi Amanda: Here for detailed illustrated covers of more than just two people and a nondescript background! Sneezy: Couldn’t agree more, Amanda!!! The light is so warm and the plants so lush. I absolutely LOVE that detail of the hand on the left caressing the hand on the right and fiddling with the ring. It’s just breath taking! Sarah: The jewelry detail is … Continue reading Cover Awe: Sparkly and Sunny

Night of the Witch by Sara Raasch and Beth Revis
TW: Violence, violence to animals, death of parent Night of the Witch is part historical fantasy and part paranormal romance. It’s the first book in a series, but doesn’t really end on a cliff hanger and the romance gets a full arc by the end, so it’s fine as a standalone. I enjoyed the supernatural element of this book, but I really enjoyed the historical aspect as it was a time period I hadn’t read … Continue reading Night of the Witch by Sara Raasch and Beth Revis

I’m trying to figure out what the culprit is, but as near as I can tell, Cloudflare is having the worst three days, and their outages have been affecting the site. It can be a bit of a challenge to manage a site that updates so frequently with comments … Continue reading Annoying Tech Things are Annoying

Movie Review: Slotherhouse
Slotherhouse has no business being as fun as it is. I would never have dreamed that I’d so very much enjoy watching a puppet murder a bunch of people. With a ton of endearing characters played by actors who fully commit to seeming terrified by a stuffed animal, and a focus on sisterhood in all its possibilities and limitations as well as responsible animal ownership, the messages were heartwarming which, again, I did not expect, … Continue reading Movie Review: Slotherhouse

How to Forget a Duke by Vivienne Lorret is $1.99! This is the first book in the Misadventures in Matchmaking series, and Elyse gave this one a B grade:
How to Forget a Duke is a delightfully tropey Regency featuring a hero who goes from loveable curmudgeon to joyfully in love. So how tropey is it, you ask? We’ve got enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, matchmaking, and–hell yeah–amnesia. All of it works, and honestly, this romance is just so fun that it made my day.
