I have basically two responses to a book I absolutely, ridiculously love. I either make tons of highlights because I just love every single line of prose, or I highlight almost nothing because I’m too caught up in the story. This book is definitely of the second variety. It also hits all of the right notes for me, with a focus on found family, a twisty plot, and just enough romance to keep my HEA-loving heart interested. “I’m a bounty hunter. I hunt criminals and murderers; I don’t work for them.” In the few years since the decades-spanning war betweenRead the Post
Review: Chaos Reigning – Jessie Mihalik
Content warnings: I’ve been a huge fan of Jessie Mihalik ever since Ilona Andrews posted about her first serial novella, and I was hooked. I’ve been absolutely blown away by each of the Consortium Rebellion books, from their gorgeous covers to their heroines to their tropes, and I’m honestly sad that this is last book in the series. “I wished I had Ada’s confidence or Bianca’s intelligence.

Review: Polaris Rising – Jessie Mihalik
TL:DR – OMG THIS IS SO GOOD! GO BUY IT NOW! I’ve mentioned before that I love scifi romance, and this is exactly everything about that genre that I adore – a tropetastic scifi wonderland. Hi-tech hi jinx, space travel, multiple planets, galaxy-wide suspense… plus a kickass heroine and a hero who loves her for that. I first heard of Jessie Mihalik through Ilona Andrews’ blog, and became a fan of her writing from reading a serial she posted on her blog, and seriously could not contain my excitement when I got an ARC of this book. I’ve now read itRead the Post
