Book Review: Court of Sun

Image
  “Fae. They’re real. They’re walking amongst us, harnassing powers that are slowly bringing earth to its knees.” The world has been slowly dying for years, probably long before anyone realized it. Now, dark has risen only weeks after strange dreams began to plague Milana. Sickness, war, famine, and so much more flow across the earth’s surface, killing those Fae don’t deem worthy of living in the new regime. Milana and her mother fight to survive, while she learns more about herself than she ever thought possible. The Dark King of the Fae is cutthroat, rage, and power all-consuming. He’s on a mission to save the world and the realms that parallel it before extinction comes for humans and Fae. But something is haunting him, gripping his resolve like a vice and ingesting him bit by bit. In the dimmest of times, two souls will intertwine, piecing a puzzle together that’s been broken for centuries. Angsty romance meets seething rage as Anwynn and Milana try to find themselves while sav...

Book Review: Full Out Fiend

Image
  Daphne As a little girl, I believed in fairy tales. Prince Charming saving the princess. The promise of a better life. The magic of happily ever after. But I’m pretty sure Sleeping Beauty never woke up to a text message from Prince Charming’s brother, informing her that they’d both been granted “free passes” for the weekend of their bachelor and bachelorette parties. I can’t believe this is my life. But I’ve already made my decision, and I’m confident about what happens next. The wedding is off. I won’t be the victim in this story. I’m ready to take back my power. One night of pleasure with the wildly attractive man I meet at The Oak is just what I need to start rewriting my happily ever after. What I didn’t anticipate? One night with Fielding might not be enough. Not only that—one night with him might change the trajectory of my life forever. Fielding It’s been a long time since I’ve felt anything in the hollow, tattered place my heart used to reside. Then everything shifts when...

Book Feature: The Beast and the Bookseller

Image
  She’s about to make a beast of a bargain in this clever and deliciously engaging fairytale twist, from  USA Today  bestselling author Eva Devon… All of London gossips about the Duke of Montrose.  A recluse. Inflicted with a terrible disease. A gargoyle with a terrible temper . But he’s also the most important patron of the centuries-old book shop that belongs to Miss Elizabeth Sharpe’s family. Now she’s been charged with delivering books to the Gargoyle of London herself—or risk their shop falling into ruin. But surely a duke can’t be  that  ghastly… Garrett Maximilian doesn’t give a tinker’s damn what society says about him. Most of them are sycophants, bowing and scraping in his presence. But not this proud, redheaded spitfire of a woman standing before him. In fact, nothing makes him feel more alive than Miss Elizabeth tartly criticizing his books. Perhaps he just needs a plan to keep her close… The duke’s glower doesn’t terrify Elizabeth as much as it...

Book Review: Mistress of Souls

Image

He started by slowly breaking the rules we set up at the beginning of our relationship, then he wasn’t coming home until almost 2 am most nights, but my final straw was when he stonewalled me and refused to talk about the issues we were having.

I never expected his help to stir up old feelings, though, and a new secret to keep… DAX Isabella Thatcher was never anything more than my best friend's little sister unti...
