🎧 Threshing Day by Rebecca Yarros - Books of My Heart
I have enjoyed The Empyrean series with its characters which ignite emotions.   I didn’t have any idea about this set of short stories about Threshing Day. I wasn’t even aware of it until after it was published.   Each one is about the bonding of a rider to a dragon. I love the dragons and the […]

Read-along & Giveaway: Damned Souls and a Sangria by Annette Marie - Books of My Heart
  4.5-5 stars I loved this conclusion to Tori’s story! I’ve been anxiously waiting for all the different Guild Codex storylines to fully come together, and this book finally delivered. We’ve seen plenty of overlap between Tori and Robin’s stories, while Kit and the MagiPol side of things have been dancing around the periphery. Getting […]

Series on Saturday: Hidden Legacy Edition - Books of My Heart
  This is a new feature I developed and have been changing over the last couple years.  I am trying to do short series with 3-4 books.   But with a bunch of personal time eaters, I wasn’t able to do the one I wanted this month.  So I chose to finish off a series I […]

Grim Reaper with a hangover is how this was explained to me and it kinda fits.  Hell Bent is the first book in Broken Magic, a spin off series to Allie Beckstrom. I had not read the prior series at all but didn’t have any trouble following the story.  I think I would have cared […]

Read-along & Giveaway: Lost Talismans and a Tequila by Annette Marie - Books of My Heart
  Lost Talismans and a Tequila, by Annette Marie, delivered action, suspense, sibling trouble, and passionate kisses. This is the seventh audiobook in the Spellbound series, and holy misfired paintballs, it was good. Every time I dive into the urban fantasy world of the Guild Codex, I lose myself to the outside world. There are […]

You will either love or hate Shamus Flynn, the literal life vessel for death.  In Hell Bent I asked myself, how many times can a guy get drugged, in Stone Cold I wondered how much more could Shamus spiral out of control.  Stone Cold, the second book in Broken Magic, a spin off series to […]

🎧 Secondhand Luck by Kim Harrison - Books of My Heart
The Shadow Age is a new series with a complex magic system.  I’m leaving the world building information I wrote here from the first book. But it is better to read these books in order. The setting is a smaller university town just east of Tucson, Arizona.  It seems a bit odd the main character […]

Fortress of Magi by Mirah Bolender - Books of My Heart
I went right from The Monstrous Citadel into reading Fortress of Magi in the Chronicles of Amicae series.   Everyone seems to have their own agenda and be against the Sinclair sweepers.  I really enjoyed this but I think you have to read this series in order to have any idea of the plot and world.
