DRAGONSHADOW by Elle Katharine White – Review
Posted December 3, 2018 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 31 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Another winning story in the Heartstone series, I was once again enchanted by White’s lively storytelling and wonderful world-building elements.

And here we are, the end of the year…how did this happen? It seems like just yesterday I was making reading goals for 2018 (which we won’t talk about because big fail!). But I actually like December on the blog, because I use it mostly as a “catch up” month, since I don’t usually have […]

BREACH by W.L Goodwater – Review

BREACH by W.L Goodwater – Review
Posted November 24, 2018 by Tammy in 3 1/2 stars, Reviews / 24 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A slow-paced beginning turns into thrilling excitement at the end, which makes up for some of the more tedious sections. I’ll admit that when I first saw the cover of Breach, I thought it was science fiction. Maybe that’s why I feel like I got off on the wrong foot with this book. […]
