The Prey by Allison Brennan *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] It has been some time since I have read a full fledged romantic suspense. At one point it was my favorite sub-genre. When I read Shattered I decided to go back and start at the beginning. It’s been several years since I originally read The Prey by Allison Brennan. It was the perfect time…

Haunting the Deep by Adriana Mather *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I did something unusual with Haunting the Deep by Adriana Mather. I read immediately after finishing How to Hang a Witch. Guys I barely read the same genre back to back let alone the same author or series! I really was intrigued by Mather’s storytelling and I wanted more! Haunting the Deep is largely…

How to Hang a Witch by Adriana Mather *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] There is no way I wasn’t going to like How to Hang a Witch by Adriana Mather. A book about Salem Massachusetts; a book about the Salem Witch trials but set in today’s world; a book written by a descendant of a very prominent person of the Witch Trials? Yes to all of the…

16th Seduction by Maxine Paetro & James Patterson
[book-info] I was not all that excited about reading 16th Seduction by Maxine Paetro and James Patterson. I had finished 15th Affair and had felt really lackluster about the series. It wasn’t the series I loved anymore. Lindsay Boxer has become the super focus of the books with very small tidbits delegated to the rest…

The Cracked Spine by Paige Shelton *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] The Cracked Spine by Paige Shelton is one of my “bad blogger” book reviews. I requested it and then just never got around to it. I wish I could say this was a lost gem but it was really kind of middle of the road for me. My biggest struggle was the amount of…

Review: The Unholy by Heather Graham *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I’m really sad that I didn’t enjoy The Unholy by Heather Graham as much as I did the others in this series. I wonder if some of that has to do with the audio narration. If I’m being honest I didn’t get too much into the story. 1940s Hollywood just isn’t something I’m overly…

The Summer That Made Us by Robyn Carr *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] Families can be a tangled mess can’t they? The Summer That Made Us by Robyn Carr surprised me. It took me until I was about a quarter of the way through the book before I became engaged. This was more on me than the book but one sentence grabbed me and wouldn’t let me…

Summer on Firefly Lake by Jen Gilroy *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I really wanted to love Summer at Firefly Lake by Jen Gilroy. It was August, the height of summer, and a small town contemporary romance. It should have worked but I really, really struggled with this book. I have to be able to connect with the characters of a book. My first and most…

Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I originally read Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl several years ago and loved it. Then the movie killed all enthusiasm for me. As a movie it worked but as a book adaptation it was awful! I really enjoyed Beautiful Creatures. It’s a chunker at 577 pages but it really is a…

Sugar Pine Trail by RaeAnne Thayne *Stephanie’s Review*
[book-info] I had no words when I finished Sugar Pine Trail by RaeAnne Thayne; however, I had a big dopey smile plastered to my face. Sugar Pine Trail is everything that contemporary romance Christmas themed books should be! It’s a small town setting that hits all the right buttons for me. It was also completely…
