Review at Dear Author

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of How to Help a Hungry Werewolf by Charlotte Stein. Funny and sexy story with delightful worldbuilding.

Illustrated cover which looks more like a painting than a cartoon, featuring a white couple against a field (maybe a cornfield?) backdrop. He is wearing a red and white checked shirt and has dark hair and a beard and is very tall. She is pretty, plus-sized and is wearing a green t shirt and denim overalls. She is stirring a cauldron with a large wooden spoon. A raccoon looks on.

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of Ruby Fever by Ilona Andrews. Overall I liked it but this book had a lot of heavy lifting to do to wrap up the series so some things felt underdeveloped or hand-waved away. Catalina and Alessandro however? A+

background is red flaming explosions and foreground is a white couple, both with dark hair. She's wearing a ruby red gown with spaghetti straps and a ruby pendant, her hair long and being blown by wind and holding her hands out at hip level to release magic, just behind her he stands, a handsome man with short dark hair wearing a tux (no jacket) with the bow tie undone

Monthly Mini Review

As a result I took a break from review books while I recovered (well, mostly recovered) and read/listened to things already on my TBR/TBL. As much as it is a privilege and pleasure to read review books and have early access to them, it is also a delight to read or listen just for fun. 

One of the fantastic things I did over the past few weeks was listen to all of the Tyack & Frayne mysteries by Harper Fox. The entire series is not available on audio yet (alas), but the first 7 book are and – joy of joys, they’re all available in the Audible Plus catalogue. (Also at the time of writing this, book 1 is available to buy for only $3.99.) The series is built around Cornish local police officer, Gideon Frayne and Lee Tyack, a clairvoyant who is called in by the Truro police to consult on the disappearance of a young girl from Gideon’s village. There are mysterious and spooky goings on and along the way, Gideon and Lee fall deeply in love. Each of the available audiobooks is self-contained – no cliffhangers – but they do need to be consumed in order as they build one upon the other.

I love the connection Gideon and Lee have and I also enjoy the Cornish setting and the use of local myth and legend which adds to the atmosphere. Continue reading

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of The Brightest Star in Paris by Diana Biller. A different tone than Biller’s first book but beautiful all the same.

Illustrated cover with a white M/F couple,she's wearing a white knee length ballet costume, he's wearing a top hat and a black suit, they are dancing outside the facade of an historial building (probably a theatre/opera), the titles are lit up like stars in the night sky
