Thoughts: Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall
Source: Netgalley, so many thanks to the publisher!TL;DR: A wonderful fantastical romp from Alexis Hall, whom I am begining to suspect is making his steady way to my favorites shelf.

Thoughts: The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten
Source: Netgalley & FairyLoot subscription! Thank you the publisher and myselfTL;DR: A fun fantasy romance idea that's bogged down by a SLOW middle. That last 10-15% though? Wild!

Thoughts: The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen

Thoughts: A Heart of Blood and Ashes by Milla Vane
So. This is not a book for everyone. Just going to open this post off with that. This is simultaneously a (at times) deeply drawn fantasy novel and a very graphic romance novel. Think Conan the Barbarian meets romance, in a setting with dinosaurs and more magic. And there were zombies at one point. It... Continue Reading →
Romance Roundup
