Never Seduce A Scot by Maya Banks

28 January 2013 Casey 0

When reading Never Seduce A Scot by Maya Banks, readers must either have a lot of suspended disbelief or an unyielding love of the Cinderella-esque fairy tale. I’m not saying it’s a bad story, it’s just an incredibly sugary sweet love story – the type of story I can read only when […]

SWalker-Stolen

Stolen by Shiloh Walker

27 January 2013 Casey 0

I have heard nothing but good things about Shiloh Walker, so I jumped at the chance to read her romantic suspense book, Stolen. Unfortunately, I just did not connect with Stolen at all. In fact, I barely made it past page 75 before giving up simply because both the hero […]

IGibson-Stuff of Legends

Stuff of Legends by Ian Gibson

25 January 2013 Casey 0

Imagine an epic fantasy-adventure book meets reality TV (but replace cameramen and TVs with bards and ballads) and you end up with Ian Gibson’s Stuff of Legends. While it was a cute, funny story that I enjoyed while reading it; yet, there was nothing really amazing or memorable about Stuff […]

ECornwall-Incarnation

Incarnation by Emma Cornwall

24 January 2013 Casey 2

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started reading Emma Cornwall’s Incarnation. The blurb was interesting enough, and since I loved Dracula, Incarnation looked like it would be a cool twist on that classic story. Unfortunately, nothing about Incarnation caught my interest. I ended up putting the book down about halfway through it, and […]

SJohnson-Royal Street

Royal Street by Suzanne Johnson

24 January 2013 Casey 4

I don’t think there’s any other way to say it: Suzanne Johnson created pure amazingness out of one of the worst tragedies America has ever suffered, with her debut novel, Royal Street. Royal Street had everything I love in a book: an inexperienced but eager heroine, magic, mystery, lots of sexy men and […]

Fabio-Pirate

Pirate by Fabio

14 January 2013 Casey 1

Yes, I am talking about that Fabio. Which is exactly why I picked up Pirate. I mean, how could I not want to read a book by the legendary Fabio? (Though, technically, he co-wrote it with Eugenia Riley.) Okay, fine, the real reason I picked it up was because I wanted to laugh and […]

Casey Literary Rants

Casey’s Literary Rants

2 January 2013 Casey 4

In which I rant about conquering my mountainous TBR pile This is the time of year where everyone is making lists. Lists about their favorite reads of 2012, lists of what they’re dying to read 2013 and lists about their 2013 reading challenges are going to be. I am a […]

Second Chances Reading Challenge

28 December 2012 Casey 2

Every reader has been there: we’ve all read a book that made us moan and groan in frustration before deciding it wasn’t worth our precious reading time to finish it. So, we put the book down, quit reading the series, blacklist the author, or sometimes, even refuse to read anymore […]

JRWard-Lover Reborn

Lover Reborn by J. R. Ward

20 December 2012 Casey 3

I have mixed feelings about Lover Reborn by J. R. Ward. I am Team Wellise one hundred percent. She was my favorite shellan and I cried like a baby when she was murdered. After J. R. Ward said that she had always known Wellise was going to die, I (somewhat) accepted the […]

MCard-Ward Against Death

What Casey Would Recommend

19 December 2012 Casey 1

When Jackie told me I had to come up with a list of recommendations, I was stumped. Not for a lack of recommendations; if anything, I have too many. I’ve practically spent this entire year ranting and raving about J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series. It’s impossible to get me […]
