This guest review is from Danielle Fritz. Danielle is a former librarian who has a special affection for children’s lit and books about the funeral industry. She first cut her criticism teeth as a fanfic writer. A resident of the upper midwest, she’s learned to love beer and tater tot casserole and tolerate long winters. Most nights will find her cuddled up with her pups and wearing out her wrists with yet another crochet project. … Continue reading The Demon’s Queen by Katee Robert →
The Kraken’s Sacrifice by Katee Robert is $2.49! This is book two in the Deal with a Demon series. This is under 200 pages and feels like a rare miss from Robert, based on the Goodreads review average.

Ok, I have two or three more colors for this series, but I need to take a little side trip this week. I noticed something that I just had to share with you while gathering covers over the past few months. Now, if you’re just arriving here at the mayhem, welcome! I’m taking really good look at the Contemporary Romance Colors that are most prevalent on covers this year and attempt to identify what is … Continue reading Contemporary Romance Color of the Year: Are Those Flags? →

CW: I’m going to include the entire note from the start of the book: “Dark Restraint is an occasionally dark and very spicy book that contains abortion (off-page, historical), elements of dubious consent, non-consenual drugging, biting without prior negotiation/conversation, guns, violence, blood, child abuse and assault (historical, off-page, referenced briefly).” Gentle reader, this is a dark romance; the darkest of the series. I am, in fact, a very gentle reader and so for me this … Continue reading Dark Restraint by Katee Robert →
Happy Tuesday! I wasn’t lying when I said the first week of August was bursting with new releases. We have over a dozen that we’re excited for or might be on your radar.

Happy Wednesday Links! We’re going through a heatwave in New England right now and it is unpleasant, considering my apartment (and most apartments in the area) don’t have central AC. Summer is…unpleasant. Anyone else experiencing the same thing and trying to keep cool? Also, I hate cooking during this weather, so feel free to share your favorite summer recipes that don’t require me standing by a hot stove! … Beverly Jenkins has announced that her Blessings series … Continue reading Links: Kickstarters, Cheese, & More →
Wicked Beauty by Katee Robert is $1.99! This is book three in the Dark Olympus series. It’s a menage romance featuring Helen of Troy, Achilles, and Patroclus. How do you feel about the series?

I’m having a bit of a tryst with Katee Robert books lately and this one did not disappoint. After the events of Hunt on Dark Waters which I reviewed, I was desperate for what promised to be an epic sequel. In book one, we are introduced to Lizzie, a truly fearsome vampire. At the start of book one, Evelyn (the heroine of book one) steals Lizzie’s family jewels and disappears into Threshold, a fantastical place between … Continue reading Blood on the Tide by Katee Robert →
CW: I’m going to quote the content note verbatim here: “Midnight Ruin is an occasionally dark and very spicy book that contains violence, murder, blood, guns, pregnancy (not the heroine) and abortion (off-page, not the heroine).” I can’t be trusted to be objective and balanced when the book in question made me gasp repeatedly and then exclaim at my partner that the book was SO GOOD. This book gave me so much Good Book Noise! … Continue reading Midnight Ruin by Katee Robert →
