Review: The Witch’s Dream by Victoria Danann

The Witch's Dream by Victoria Danann

Lynn’s Review:

This book picks up where My Familiar Stranger left off. Some of this story takes place in Ireland and Edinburgh.

Deliverance is an incubus demon. He is on a mission of revenge. Sir Chaos Caelian, Kay to his co-workers, is a knight of the Black Swan. His fiancée’s name is Katrina. This is a great way to interconnect the characters in this tale.

Litha Brandywine also works with the Black Swan. She is a young woman that speaks her mind and isn’t afraid to be who she is. She also learns something about herself that she never knew. … Continue reading

Review: South of Surrender by Laura Kaye

South of Surrender

Reviewed by Lynn Reynolds

Chrysander Notos has found his older brother, Eurus, walking on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.  If you’ve been following the series, you will know that the Anemoi have special abilities.  One thing Chrys can do is call the South Wind.  In order to understand this group of special men, you do need to follow this series in order.

As I read Chrys’ story, I have to wonder if there are other-worldly things going on that we don’t know about.  Now that spring is here and some of the nastier weather is showing itself, don’t you wonder what … Continue reading

The Descendant

Ginny’s Review:

First off, let me start this review by screaming, “GAAAAHHH!!!!!!” . That was basically my reaction to the ending of the book. I won’t tell you what happens, but only that it leaves off on a cliffhanger and you’re so involved in the book, that when it ends you simply want to scream, “WHAT WAS THAT?! COME ON!!!”. So, in my head, this makes it a fantastic book!

This book is celebrating its one year anniversary from its original release date last year. (I feel bad for the readers who read it last year and had no idea … Continue reading

This book starts off with a Dedication that just seemed to speak to me.  She made me feel as if the dedication was written just for me.  It makes it personal.

Sage Wilcot starts off the book in an interesting fashion – made me wish the book had audio.  She has received an interesting memo from the Dean of her department.  Sage works in an academic setting just like I do.  I’m also envious of her job – it entails traveling to exotic places and mine is just traveling up and down stairs.

Sage has a … Continue reading

Ruby by Jeffe Kennedy Cover

Ginny’s Review:

Once again, Jeffe Kennedy is keeping it real! While it probably won’t happen that you go into a high class restaurant, order something on the menu in a way that it is not originally prepared, and have the chef come out screaming at you, and then offer you a night of wild abandonment, there are some other things that bring you back down to earth whilst reading Kennedy’s books.

In a previous review of mine, of her book Platinum, I mentioned that I loved that the main character felt slight pain when she went to pee and wipe … Continue reading

Review: One True Love by Lori Wilde

This story takes us to Whistle Stop, Texas in the year 1924.  It’s also told in the first person.

John Fant has come with some news about Millie Greenwood’s father.  Millie appears to be older than her tender age.  But at that point in time, children seemed to grow up faster than they do now.  We get to see how different things are compared to how we live today.

Millie ends up working for the Fant family.  This is a great way that Lori shows her readers how Millie comes into her own.  Even though Love at First Sight comes … Continue reading
