About Nicole

Attorney by day, Publicist for Barclay Publicity and reviewer/LE (assistant) editor by night. I'm a huge book nerd and love to read. I have 2 dogs, both Labrador retriever mixed breeds, who are very rotten and think they run the house. Let's not lie, they totally do, I just can't them know it ha ha! My usual genre is romance or urban fantasy. I love all things having to do with paranormal, with the occasional good contemp/BDSM/erotica thrown in to spice it all up.

Generation 18 by Keri Arthur

25 December 2014 Nicole 0

I love urban fantasy novels, usually because they are more dark, gritty and focus less on the romance aspect but still have sexual tension/romantic elements (though not always). Generation 18 by Keri Arthur, book 2 of her Spook Squad series, gave me all of this, and I devoured it in a […]

Priestess Dreaming by Yasmine Galenorn

11 December 2014 Nicole 1

I really hate to say what I’m about to say about a series I really enjoy. I was really looking forward to Priestess Dreaming by Yasmine Galenorn, but sadly, while it was a good read, overall, it fell flat. We’re the D’Artigo sisters: savvy half-human, half-Fae operatives for the Otherworld Intelligence Agency. […]

Demon’s Fury / Demon’s Vow / Inner Demon by Jocelynn Drake

27 November 2014 Nicole 0

When I heard the news that Jocelynn Drake would be releasing another Asylum Tales novel, I squee’d with glee and anxiously awaited to get a copy.  As you know, the final story Gage has to tell is released in a serial format: Demon’s Fury, Demon’s Vow and Inner Demon.  Rather than doing […]

The Witch With No Name by Kim Harrison

13 November 2014 Nicole 0

I adore the Hollows series by Kim Harrison. It is one of my favorite UF series. This review is bittersweet. If you aren’t already aware The Witch with No Name is the final book in the series. I couldn’t wait to read it, I didn’t want to say goodbye to […]

Archangel’s Shadows by Nalini Singh

30 October 2014 Nicole 0

After finishing Archangel’s Legion by Nalini Singh a few months ago, I was eagerly awaiting Archangel’s Shadows because I was dying to know what happens next for Elena, Raphael, et al. While Archangel’s Shadows isn’t nearly as action packed or intense as Archangel’s Legion, I still loved it and immensely enjoyed Janvier’s, aka the Cajun, and […]

IAndrews--Burn for Me

Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews

16 October 2014 Nicole 0

I’ve been eagerly awaiting Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews.  Ilona has been an auto-buy author for me since I fell in love with her Kate Daniels series. I was not a huge fan of the Edge series and Burn for Me is the start of a brand new series. So, I was […]

Red Blooded by Amanda Carlson

2 October 2014 Nicole 0

Ever since I read Full Blooded by Amanda Carlson a couple years ago, I was hooked on the Jessica McClain series. In fact, this series is one of my favorite UF/shifters series and I have been salivating to find out what happens next after the cliff-hanger of an ending in Cold Blooded. […]

Memory Zero by Keri Arthur

4 September 2014 Nicole 1

I have been looking high and low for a new UF series that fits my need for dark and gritty. It’s hard to find since I feel like I’ve read most of the good ones. I’ve read a few novels by Keri Arthur before and loved them.  However, I couldn’t […]

The Beautiful Ashes by Jeaniene Frost

21 August 2014 Nicole 0

If you know me, you know I’m a huge (and I mean HUGE) fan of Jeaniene Frost. I’m a die-hard “Frostie”. As sad I was to see her Cat & Bones series come to a beautiful end, I was anxious/excited to read her newest series, Broken Destiny.  The Beautiful Ashes […]
