Eden Winters’ Darkness is an inventive and intriguing mixture of police procedural and urban fantasy with a dash of sci-fi and a touch of romance, and is quite unlike anything else I’ve read recently. The worldbuilding is excellent, but the pacing is uneven; I liked that the author takes time to set up the story…
Prior to reading the ridiculously entertaining The Deer and the Dragon, the last time I’d thought about the Phoenicians was in ninth grade in our study of the world’s early civilizations. Nor had I given much thought to Jainism or Ba’al and his consort Astarte. Not so Piper CJ–thank the gods. Fluent in myriad ancient…
Narrated by Cooper North I was on the fence about the story in Death Enraptured, which picks up where Death Eternal left off. Note: This is the second book in a same-couple series with overarching plotlines – there are spoilers for the previous book in this review. At the end of Death Eternal, Marcel discovered…
The first book in H.L. Day’s new series of paranormal romances, Paranormal Problems: Necromancers, Deader Than Dead is a reworked/extended version of a story that originally appeared in a charity Fated Mates anthology in 2023.

That, right there, is one of the reasons I picked it up – it’s unusual to find this type of story set in England – and…
Narrated by Zachary Johnson The Claws of Winter is the seventh book (of eight) in Nazri Noor’s continually entertaining and imaginative Arcane Hearts series, and with its overarching plotlines, ongoing romance and recurring characters, is absolutely not a standalone. If you’re intrigued, I suggest you go back to book one, A Touch of Fever,and start…
Narrated by John Solo Even though he’s already got two unfinished series on the go, Nazri Noor is clearly not one to let the grass grow under his feet! Hex and the City is the first book in the new Stolen Hearts series, which introduces two new and engaging protagonists and an interesting magic system…
Carrie shares a Mini Review of Step Right Up by L.A. Witt – one in a magical series by multiple authors. Narrated by John Solo and Michael Ferraiuolo Jason Richards is ridiculously in love with his friend and coworker, Ahmed Kazimi. Unfortunately, Ahmed is a package deal—he has a boyfriend who, as far as Jason…
Narrated by Zachary Johnson A Clap of Thunder, book six in Nazri Noor’s richly imagined Arcane Hearts series, hits the ground running and doesn’t let up until the very end. Secrets are uncovered, old enemies return and a king is awakened, as Jackson and Xander, now happily engaged and continuing to try to track down…
