WE RIDE THE STORM by Devin Madson – Review

WE RIDE THE STORM by Devin Madson – Review
Posted June 29, 2020 by Tammy in 3 stars, Reviews / 32 Comments

The nitty-gritty: Ambitious and complex, We Ride the Storm, although beloved by many readers, didn’t quite work for me. There has been a lot of hype surrounding We Ride the Storm, and tons of 4 and 5 star reviews on Goodreads. But this time the hype backfired for me, and I ended up really struggling […]

Posted June 25, 2020 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 38 Comments

The nitty-gritty: A creeping dread infuses this atmospheric Gothic tale of diabolical family secrets. “The walls speak to me. They tell me secrets. Don’t listen to them, press your hands against your ears, Noemí. There are ghosts. They’re real.

I had high hopes for Hella, and although it started off with lots of promise, halfway through the book I realized that there were several problematic elements that would ultimately […]

DRAGON UNLEASHED by Grace Draven – Review

The nitty-gritty: Another winner from Grace Draven, full of magic, romance, danger and yes, a dragon. I really enjoyed this book, which is the second in Draven’s Fallen Empire series. The story follows a different set of characters from the first book, Phoenix Unbound, but several characters from that book cross over into Dragon Unleashed. […]

CHAOS REIGNING by Jessie Mihalik – Review

CHAOS REIGNING by Jessie Mihalik – Review
Posted May 28, 2020 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 19 Comments

The nitty-gritty: An exciting and satisfying conclusion to the series, Chaos Reigning was a ton of fun. I’ve had so much fun with the Consortium Rebellion, and I’m actually sorry that it’s over. Chaos Reigning follows the same format as the first two books in the series but changes up the characters and the plot […]
