Review: Deal with the Devil – Kit Rocha

August 2, 2020 Leave a Comment

Deal with the Devil

I’ve been reading Kit Rocha’s books for a long time, and there’s certain things I expect from them: amazing found families, strong and fierce heroines, and a nail-bitingly good plot. So it’s no surprise that their first traditionally published book has all that, plus the sunshine/grumpy trope, a post-apocalyptic road trip, and multiple discussions ofRead the Post

Review: The Ones Who Got Away – Roni Loren

January 1, 2018 Comment : 1

The Ones Who Got Away cover

Trigger Warnings:  All the feels.  Seriously, all the feels.  I read this pretty much non-stop in an afternoon, with a box of tissues next to me.

Before I Let Go cover

Trigger warnings:  I was not expecting to receive this book – it showed up as a bonus along with As You Wish, which I’ll be reviewing later this week. I can’t quite put my finger on what didn’t work for me, but I think part of it is that I’m not usually a fan ofRead the Post

Review: Sweet Revenge – Heather Kim

December 28, 2017 Leave a Comment

Sweet Revenge cover

“You can’t hate-tweet your ex when you’re knuckles-deep in molasses.” Deliciously snarky!  This isn’t a collection of basic recipes, but rather a mix of classics with twists (S’more Brownies, butter pound cake…. with sriracha icing) and some very unique dishes (carrot cake truffles with Cool Ranch Doritos sugar).  Most of the dishes have multiple componentsRead the Post
