J.L. Merrow’s Face Blind is an atmospheric tale featuring two men who are trying to come to terms with and move on from traumatic events in their pasts. Add in family secrets, some gentle humour, a little bit of mystery and touch of the paranormal, and you’ve got an interesting and entertaining ...
While not listed as such, A Ghost in Shining Armor is the second story in a duology about two sisters who are separated at a young age and only learn about each other in adulthood. However, you don’t have to read the first book - And They Lived Happily Ever After - to enjoy this one.

My Imaginary Mary is fun, fizzy and completely off the wall. With it, Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton and Jodi Meadows add another volume to their Lady Janies series – and nope, it’s not about Marie Curie as they’d previously said it would be, it’s about Mary Shelley and mathematician Ada Lovelac ...
Is romance dead? asks YA author Ashley Poston’s début adult contemporary/paranormal romance. That’s a complicated question, but if The Dead Romantics isn’t quite a nail in the coffin, it’s certainly no help to the genre or the concept of romance as a whole.

My bookshelf has a baker’s dozen of Rachel Gibson’s 2000s-era contemporaries, which are all lighthearted, sexy fluff.

This book was everything I didn’t know I needed this winter. Amid a haze of historical and contemporary romances with perky young heroines along with the occasional fantasy romance, Suddenly Psychic stands out. It’s a paranormal women’s fiction book which sees women in their mid-forties develo ...
To say I was excited when I learned that Charlie Adhara was going to be continuing her Big Bad Wolf series is something of an understatement. I’ve never really been into books about shifters, but after reading Em’s DIK review of book one, Wolf at the Door, I decided to try it and was immediate ...
Completely addictive, riveting, and engaging, The Sun Down Motel is the latest supernatural thriller from Simone St. James. A dual timeline tale of two women thirty-five years apart looking for answers to a series of disappearances, it contains the eerie, haunted tone I expect from this author’s w ...
The Vanishing is the twenty-fifth JAK novel that I’ve read, so I think it’s fair to say that I’m a fan. Many of her books are DIKs for me, but every once in a while she writes a novel that I feel doesn’t meet her usual standard. This is one of those books.
Our story begins with a murder. ...
