Fever by Maya Banks

31 December 2013 Casey 0

I have a love/hate relationship with books by Maya Banks. I usually roll my eyes at how over-dramatic the characters are and the sappy-ness of the story. And yet, I can’t stop reading her books, rushing out and devouring each of her new releases. It’s an addiction I won’t be quitting […]

Flirting Under A Full Moon by Ashlyn Chase

30 December 2013 Casey 0

I’m sure everyone has read a book that they hated. But have you ever wanted to give that author a second chance? After reading The Werewolf Upstairs, I probably shouldn’t have given Ashlyn Chase a second chance. I don’t know why I did. Something about the cover called to me, I […]

Altered by Jennifer Rush

29 November 2013 Casey 0

Is it just me or are books not living up to expectations? I don’t know if my standards are just that high or the genre itself is going downhill. For example, Altered by Jennifer Rush. I was so freaking excited for this book; but when I read it, it fell […]

THilaire-Deliver Me From Temptation

Deliver Me From Temptation by Tes Hilaire

21 November 2013 Casey 1

There’s a saying that a sequel is never as good as the first book. For me, that’s true about half the time. I adored the first book in Tes Hilaire’s Paladin Warriors series, Deliver Me From Darkness, and I was super excited to read Deliver Me From Temptation. Except, this […]

Last Breath by Rachel Caine

30 October 2013 Casey 0

The last couple of Morganville books have left me unsatisfied and annoyed. Yeah, I am a huge fan of the series but some of those plot lines…come on. Morganville is better than all that petty drama. Because of that, I’ve been dragging my feet on reading Last Breath by Rachel […]

Untamed by Sara Humphreys

18 October 2013 Casey 0

My favorite paranormal creatures are shifters. I love reading anything with shifters in it. I love the Amoveo series because Ms. Humphreys has created an awesome mythology for her shifters. Unfortunately, I can’t stand the heroines in each of her books and Untamed, the third book in the series by […]

Gena Showalter

Interview With Gena Showalter

3 September 2013 Casey 6

While I was at RomCon, I was super lucky enough to sit down with the amazing Gena Showalter and talk to her about all of her books. Yeah, even though the new Lords of the Underworld, The Darkest Craving, was just released, I was in so much fangirl heaven that […]

JKagawa - Lost Prince

The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa

11 August 2013 Casey 0

Anyone who has not read the Iron Fey, and wants to, or hasn’t finished the series, don’t read The Lost Prince by Julie Kagawa or this review because there are some major spoilers. I adored Ethan when he was just the little four year old boy that Meghan had to save from the fey […]

Countdown by Michelle Maddox/Michelle Rowen

8 August 2013 Casey 0

Several months ago, Michelle Rowen announced that she would be re-releasing her adult novel Countdown, previously published under her pen name Michelle Maddox, but this time it would be a YA novel. I decided I should finally get around to reading Countdown so I could compare the original to the […]

Escapists Uncensored: A RomCon Recap

7 August 2013 Casey 0

In which I rant about how all my dreams came true (aka a RomCon recap)  First of all, let me apologize for the very belatedness of this rant. But life has a way of, well, getting in the way and keeping me from getting anything done. But enough of life! […]
