Beyond a Darkened Shore is a novel that had so much more to love than I expected! The world is very reminiscent of ancient Ireland and immersed with Celtic and Norse mythology. Ciara is a warrior princess with unique powers she uses in battle to help protect her people yet… Read more »
Review: The Silent Waters (Elements #3) by Brittainy C. Cherry
Just a few week ago I read the 4th book in this series, The Gravity of Us, and fell in love with the author’s writing. She has a wonderful way with words and just knew I needed to check out the previous books too (each reads as a standalone). The… Read more »
Review: Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett
*Happy sigh* Jenn Bennett has done it again! Starry Eyes was everything I hoped it would be and so much more! Once upon a time, Zorie and Lennon were best friends. They were practically inseparable, there for each other in every way, until… they weren’t. Zorie isn’t sure quite what… Read more »
Review: Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco

Review: The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw
It has been far too long since I’ve read something with witches! With comparison to some of my favorite witch-y movies, Hocus Pocus and Practical Magic, I had high hopes heading in and I must say, the book delivered! I absolutely felt vibes from both of those movies throughout and… Read more »
Review: The Tombs by Deborah Schaumberg
There were so many aspects of The Tombs that urged me to pick it up. The setting is a fantasy world blended into the real NYC of 1882, a time after the civil war where racial segregation is still quite prominent. In this fantasy world there are people with unique… Read more »
