Inheritance by Nora Roberts
The Mirror by Nora Roberts
The Seven Rings by Nora Roberts
Nora's got a new trilogy out there, and I stumbled across the first book quite by accident right after it came out, like TWO YEARS AGO.

It's a Love Story by Annabelle Monaghan
Dear authors: please stop writing in present tense. I hate it. That said, I didn't hate this book. I wish it hadn't been written in present tense, but whatever. I'll let that go. Mostly.

In this one, we … [Read more]
These Burning Stars by Bethany Jacobs
These Burning Stars, by Bethany Jacobs, is a revenge-driven, bloody, action-heavy space opera. It’s full of political intrigue, social commentary, and gun fights. And I thought it was excellent. It was, however, slow to start for me. In fact, I originally started it several months ago and got a … [Read more]
