Cover Reveal – The Taste of Lavender by Emma Shane
Happy Friday! I just wanted to hop on here and show everyone the new cover for Emma’s soon-to-be released novella, The Taste of Lavender. The blurb is still a work in progress, for now you only get this ethereal image.
So, what do you think?
Quickie Book Review – Hell Kat by Vivi Anna
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Fabulous post-apocalyptic novel with fairly unique paranormal tidbits, a smidgen of fantasy, and a heaping-helping of steamy goodness.
Book Review – Wool by Hugh Howey
Wool by Hugh Howey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Now I see what all the fuss is about! Not only is the writing smooth-as-butter flawless, but the premise of Wool is just flipping genius. I totally didn’t see the ending, or the final ending, coming and I’ve been thinking about it ever since.
My only complaint is that I wanted more after that last page. Good thing I know there are more Wool books to be devoured!
(Don’t let the simple cover dissuade you– there is a brilliant gem hiding under that plain gray cloth!)
Book Review – Death’s Hand by S.M. Reine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Like my review for other books in this series, I loved the non-stop, pulse-pounding action in this book. The characters are flawed (human, working on their own issues and emotions)and compelling, the author’s knowledge of weaponry and fight scenarios is A+ and I can’t get enough of these books!
Book Review – Spell Checked by C. G. Powell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was clearly a sleeper– I picked it up on a whim, half expecting to feel “meh” about it after I read it. Boy, was I wrong.
I loved the star-cross lover angle, the historical details, the way the whole motley lot of them congregated in one place to teach the magic to one so untrained. And the genetics/ science aspect was an interesting detail for the author to add as well.
When done, I felt sad that it was over, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the next book in the series. Fans of H.P. Mallory’s Jolie Wilkins series should really like this series as well!

Book Review – Sin and Sacrifice by Danielle Bourdon
Sin and Sacrifice by Danielle Bourdon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Loved just about everything about Sin and Sacrifice. The premise was something I’d never seen before, the characters diverse and interesting, and the pacing was spot on. The writing was tight and often vivid and concise.
I felt the surprise, betrayals, anguish and fear just like things were happening to me. I was soooo sucked into this book. And the guys… yum
Well worth the time to read and I’ll bet most people go on to reading the rest of the series after putting this one down!
Book Review- Death of a Supermodel by Christine DeMaio-Rice
Death of a Supermodel by Christine DeMaio-Rice
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I read and loved the first book in this series, so I jumped on Book Two as soon as I realized it was out. Once again, the author did not dissappoint. Some of the cast from the first book are back and better (or worse) than ever, plus we’ve got several new odd balls too. Throw in a few shady characters, some nefarious motives and its a party you don’t want to miss!
DeMaio-Rice had me guessing as to whodunit until the end (and it was refreshing that Laura, the main character seemed just as unsure at times too.) Death of a Supermodel was every bit as witty, tight and expertly written as the first book, and I can’t wait to see where Laura ends up in the next one!
