About Sarah

A 30-something mother of a teenage (going on 30) daughter, I read between 4-8 books a week. Between work, chauffeur responsibilities, and reading, I don’t have much free time . However, I do like to knit and crochet in the winter (quality scarves and hats are highly underrated!). My favorite genres are urban fantasy, contemporary romance, and paranormal romance. I tend to binge read when I find a great new series, so I love to discover new-to-me series that already have several books out.

Chaos Station by Jenn Burke and Kelly Jensen 

17 August 2015 Sarah 0

I haven’t been reading much science fiction lately, so Chaos Station by Jenn Burke and Kelly Jensen was a welcome change of reading material. The first book in the Chaos Station series, Chaos Station, was so interesting that I’m still having trouble breaking down the reasons why I enjoyed it. The answer: it […]

Cold Burn of Magic by Jennifer Estep

20 July 2015 Sarah 0

Jennifer Estep is one of those “go-to” authors for me. I love her Elemental Assassin, Mythos Academy, and Bigtime series. So, obviously, when I heard about her new young adult urban fantasy series, I was totally on board.  Cold Burn of Magic is the first book in the Black Blade series, […]

Dog with a Bone by Hailey Edwards

13 July 2015 Sarah 0

I was looking for a new book to read and decided to check out sales lists.  I’m so glad that I did, because I found a new-to-me author that I love.  Dog with a Bone by Hailey Edwards is the first book in her Black Dog series (check out that awesome […]

23 May 2015 Sarah 1

Hey, you guuuuys!  The Vampire Book Club blog is doing its annual Alpha Showdown.  It’s a lot of fun, and you get to vote for the biggest, baddest alpha (or just your favorite!).  This year, I’m participating and championing Charles Cornick from Patricia Briggs’ Alpha & Omega series (he’s also a supporting […]

NPeeler-JinnandJuice

Jinn and Juice by Nicole Peeler

7 April 2015 Sarah 0

I’ve read and enjoyed Nicole Peeler’s Jane True series, so I was pretty geeked when I heard about Jinn and Juice, the first book in her new urban fantasy series.  While I liked and will continue the series, there was quite a bit of world-building to absorb that, at times, took […]

Deadly Spells by Jaye Wells

6 April 2015 Sarah 0

Another fantastic addition to her Prospero’s War series, Deadly Spells  by Jaye Wells dragged us deeper into protagonist Kate Prospero’s convoluted life. Raised in a coven that taught her to fend for herself with little regard to the law, Kate is now a cop that works with the MEA (Magical Enforcement Agency) […]

Dead Heat by Patricia Briggs

30 March 2015 Sarah 1

I have many favorite authors, but Patricia Briggs is certainly in my top five. Her newest novel in the Alpha & Omega series, Dead Heat, solidifies that status. This series is spin-off of her popular Mercy Thompson series and focuses on Charles, the Marrok’s son and enforcer of sorts, and his […]

Princess of Thorns by Stacey Jay

23 March 2015 Sarah 4

Every once in a while, I like to set aside my super spicy reads for something of the young adult variety. The description of Princess of Thorns by Stacey Jay intrigued me, to say the least. Young adult, fantasy, heroine in disguise (as her own brother), and a reluctant hero combined with […]

Odd Stuff by Virginia Nelson

16 March 2015 Sarah 0

One of my most favorite things is when I find a book on sale (or free!) by a new-to-me author that is fantastic.  Odd Stuff by Virginia Nelson is one of those awesome finds. I can’t even remember where I found the link, but I do know that I am reading […]

Shadow Study by Maria V. Snyder (Soulfinder #1)

6 March 2015 Sarah 0

I was embarrassingly excited when I learned that Yelena and Valek would back in Maria V. Snyder’s Shadow Study! These stories are some of my favorites and I couldn’t wait to read about what happens next with these two. The former poison-taster/now Soulfinder, Yelena, and the (arguably) best assassin in the […]
