May 2024 Reading & Wyrd & Wonder Wrap-Up
Posted May 31, 2024 by Tammy in Monthly Wrap UP / 16 Comments

May was a very solid month of reading, and even though I had one pretty disappointing read, everything else was well worth checking out. I even managed to read a book from my TBR Jar! (Good Bad Girl) I also participated in Wyrd & Wonder (with thanks to all the hosts!), and surprisingly I managed […]

THE HONEY WITCH by Sydney J. Shields – Review

THE HONEY WITCH by Sydney J. Shields – Review
Posted May 28, 2024 by Tammy in 2 1/2 stars, Reviews / 33 Comments

The nitty-gritty: An interesting premise is bogged down with annoying characters and a simplistic plot that didn’t always make sense. I’m sad to say The Honey Witch didn’t really work for me, although many readers loved it, so it’s most likely a case of “it isn’t you, it’s me.” This book felt very young, despite […]

GOOD BAD GIRL by Alice Feeney – Review

GOOD BAD GIRL by Alice Feeney – Review
Posted May 27, 2024 by Tammy in 4 1/2 stars, Reviews / 23 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Alice Feeney explores mother/daughter relationships in this highly entertaining mystery, full of twists and plenty of emotion. “My daughter is the villain in my life, and I am the villain in hers. We both believe our stories are true.” After absolutely loving Daisy Darker, I couldn’t wait to read something else by Alice […]

A FRIEND INDEED by Elka Ray – Review

A FRIEND INDEED by Elka Ray – Review
Posted May 23, 2024 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 16 Comments

The nitty-gritty: An old friendship is tested after a bad decision is made, in this fun, twisty psychological thriller. I’m always up for a good twisty thriller, and A Friend Indeed was a pleasant surprise! If you enjoy stories filled with unreliable characters and complex friendships, you will probably enjoy this as well. The story […]

Nine Upcoming Romantasies to Add to Your TBR
Posted May 21, 2024 by Tammy in Lists, Wyrd and Wonder / 28 Comments

Last week I posted a list of upcoming cozy fantasies, and today I’m looking at fantasy romance—or romantasy—another popular subgenre that’s everywhere these days. I have to admit I’ve really enjoyed the romantasies I’ve read so far, and I hope to read a bunch of these as well. These are listed in order of release […]
