Rating: ★★★ Release Date: Feb. 5, 2019 I wanted to mention that although this book is technically book 1 of the Courting Darkness Duology it could easily be considered book 4 of the His Fair Assassins. Many of the characters in this were in the original trilogy, so I would highly recommend reading those first.... Continue Reading →
The Girls at 17 Swann Street by Yara Zgheib
Release date: February 5, 2019. Published by St. Martin's Press. The link to the author's blog: Aristotle at Afternoon Tea. Rating: ★★★★ Disclaimer: I know very little about eating disorders.

The Winter of the Witch (Winternight Trilogy #3) by Katherine Arden
Vasya's journey comes to an end, but I wish there were more. A satisfying ending was reached, but with some of the things revealed in this book, there is so much more that could be explored with the characters and the world. The world building is my favorite thing in this series, and it was... Continue Reading →
Archangel’s Prophecy (Guild Hunter #11) by Nalini Singh
Warning: it ends in a cliffhanger. A huge one. I got to the last page and was furiously trying to get the next page and was wondering if my ARC was defective and missing a chapter or a page or a paragraph. It just ended with so much left open ended. It explained a little... Continue Reading →

Night and Silence (Toby Daye #12) by Seanan McGuire
OMG!!! I loved it! Best book in the series since The Winter Long. To be honest I wasn’t sure what to think going into this. The blurb didn’t excite me. Gillian being kidnapped again and Tybalt taking off didn’t sound appealing. The plot tied things together and brought issues to light in such a good way despite the... Continue Reading →
Darkest Heart (Dominion #1) by Juliette Cross ~ ★★★★½
This is my favorite book by Juliette Cross. It was much better than I thought it would be. I love angels and demons stories. Anya was an angel on a mission to find the archangel Uriel. She couldn't do it alone. She was paired with an unlikely ally, the demon Dommiel. They were very different... Continue Reading →
“The Raging Ones” by Krista and Becca Ritchie

Court Icecastle grew up privileged but became a criminal and escaped from Vorkter Prison. Mykal Kickfall is a young man who believes in love from the... Continue Reading →
Shadow’s Bane (Dorina Basarab #4) by Karen Chance ~ ★★★★
To sum this up in a word: frustrating. Dory had a lot going on. There were issues with the fey, Mircea, Dorina, and Louis-Cesare. It took a while for me to get into it and to get to the satisfying ending. The first quarter of the book was one action scene after another. It took... Continue Reading →
