Content warnings: I definitely have some conflicting feelings about this book. Each of these books has stripped more of Aileen’s humanity away, forcing her to face some hard truths, and this book is definitely the culmination of that. Most of this review is my reaction to specific events, so this is a giant spoilerfest! IfRead the Post
Review: Moonlight’s Ambassador – T. A. White
Why yes, I am still trucking through this series in anticipation of the fifth book being released in early June! As you’d expect, there are massive spoilers below for the first two books in the series, especially as this book is spent dealing with the fallout from the last book. Spoilers ahoy! “Turns out lying,Read the Post
Review: Midnight’s Emissary – T.A. White
Content warnings: Aileen’s main defense against the rest of the world is still being annoying AF, and I love it. She’s desperate to keep control of her life, but after the events of the last book, she knows she can’t keep sticking her head in the sand. While Liam promised to help, after several monthsRead the Post
Review: Shadow’s Messenger – T. A. White
Content warnings: “A warning. Vampires are fascinated by mysteries and will do anything to solve them.” I discovered T.A. White through her Firebird Chronicles and then promptly started working my way through her earlier books. Her Aileen Travers series is urban fantasy as opposed to science fiction, but there’s several similarities between both series, myRead the Post
Review: Grounded for Christmas – Savannah J. Frierson
CW: I initially picked this up because of the gorgeous cover, and I was well rewarded. This is a sweet confection of a holiday novella, with a plethora of my favorite tropes – second chance, snowed in, and only one bed. “It’s Christmas and Mary and Joseph have no room at an inn!” Joseph andRead the Post
Review: Christmas in the City – Bria Felicien
This was a quick, fun holiday read, with some of my favorite tropes – a fake relationship and “just one bed.” “What?” “Nothing, it’s just corny.” “That’s the point, DeAndre.” “Whoa, you pulled out my whole government over a Christmas movie?” Zoe’s struggling through her first Christmas without her cheating ex-boyfriend, who’s now a popularRead the Post
Review: Cherishing the Goddess – Lucy Eden
This is more of a 3.5 star read because I’m not a fan of insta-love, and this book relies heavily on that trope. “Does your brain have an off switch or is everything open for negotiation?” “I could ask you the same question,” I replied causing the corners of her full, soft lips to quirkRead the Post
Mini-Review: Hearts Alight – Elliot Cooper
While I liked a lot about this charming Hanukkah novella, for some reason it just didn’t grab me. Dave is an introverted nerd who works at his dad’s pottery studio, while Amit is the reserved bartender at his brother-in-law’s family bar – and also a golem. There’s some pretty cute things – from Dave’s crushRead the Post
