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 →

It’s the literary equivalent to just floating in a warm pool, listening to soft noises. First of all, Beautiful Wreck is a time-travel historical, which is my shit.

This book also contains an attempted rape scene and mention of a … Continue reading The Ghost by Monica McCarty →

It truly is a beautifully written book. It’s emotional and engaging and truly exemplifies what I want in my romantic suspenses.

If it’s Tuesday, there must be HaBOs, right? Of course! Today’s HaBO, or Help a Bitch Out, is from Ryann who is looking for a medieval she really, really enjoyed: HEY SBTB. I Know you guys can all help me solve this one. It was an epic medieval romance I read in the earliest 2000’s, but is probably older. The cover was pink or beige with a couple on the front.. This one was lusty … Continue reading HaBO: Medieval with Fake Underbrush Coupling, Plus a War Horse →
