Betrayed

My reading year has definitely gotten off to a good start. I’ve read satisfying historicals and now I get to review the best paranormal I’ve come across in ages. In Betrayed, Jamie Leigh Hansen combines intense romance with vivid and unusual (that’s right, no vampires or shapeshifters!) world-building to create a book that makes quite…

Beyond Fearless

While I normally dislike paranormals, there are certain plot elements – fantasy, science fiction, paranormal – that I enjoy, including ghosts, benevolent witches, and psychics.
