Solid Spicy Series Swan Song. This is it. The moment the series has been building to - Everly's story. And for those who have read this series to this point, it absolutely does not disappoint. We've got the hilarity. We've got the habanero spice, maybe even hotter - those that prefer a warm glass of milk, yeah, this series isn't for you, and this conclusion definitely isn't. We've got the returning cast of characters - all of them, including the animals. We've got the heart.

Fault In Our Stars Meets Meet Joe Black Meets Twilight. This is one of those sad romance novels - and yes, it does meet every known RNA/ RWA "requirement" for romance novels - that specifically because it *is* so heavy is actually that much better for it. This isn't a feel good beach read. At all. This book is going to haunt you in some of the best possible ways - but it is going to have quite a few very dusty rooms throughout. It is a powerful romance of its form, and it has that tinge of the paranormal that humanity has always wrestled with in these points of our lives.

It is almost as much character story as romance, and that is where the real depth comes in. It asks a lot of the questions that are seemingly common at this point, particularly when you are so young. Which I happen to have a degree of experience with these last several months, as my wife had a Widowmaker type heart attack at just 43yo almost a year ago as I write this review, survived (because she was literally 3 miles from Advent C...

Strong Yet Short Neighborhood Mystery. Fans of the whole "entire neighborhood has secrets that impact each other" subgenre, I have a book for you. Even if you don't think you're into that thing... this is still a strong mystery that you're going to want to try out.

Detailed Yet Approachable History of Historic And Even Monumental Event That Is Virtually Unknown. This is exactly the kind of detailed history relying on personal investigation using archived newspapers and similar materials you would expect from an investigative journalist of prior eras. Filled with exactingly precise details and dispelling many myths that arose from both culture and corporate propaganda, this is the kind of history that needs to be written about far more subjects, particularly unknown topics such as this that really did come to shape so ...

Less Thriller, More Up Meets Anne Of Greene Gables Meets Lizzie Borden. Wow. So much to say about the book, but its impact really is about that ending, and thus all I can really say *there* is that it really is quite impactful and extremely well done.

One of the most important things I can tell you though is exactly what I said in the title. This is not your typical dark mystery/ thriller, even with the body count it has. This is much more a lighthearted ish psychological drama with a lot of depth. The ...

Another Solid Katherine Center Romance. If you're already a fan of Center - and clearly she has many, as evidenced by nearly 5K reviews of this book on Goodreads on release day -, know that this is her typical excellent storytelling, this time set on a cruise ship more than her more typical Galveston area setting. (Though it *does* start there.) If you've somehow never read a Katherine Center romance, this is a pretty good introduction to her overall style. you're going to laugh. Your heartstrings are going to be pulled without necessari...

Scene In Service To Story. As It Should Be. With the exception of those tales where the scene is *intended* to *be* the story, scene should generally support the story of a tale and enhance it - and this book does that quite well. Yes, there are a lot of Parisian details. Holmes has been there a few times, loves it, and wanted to celebrate it in a tale - similar to so many other writers over the years, including her colleague in the Facebook gro...

HBO Desperate Housewives. This is one of those books that requires a certain composure to be able to withstand - but for those with the fortitude, it will be quite fun and delicious indeed. One where everyone has secrets, a lot of them are dark, and some of them are the kind that tend to grab a lot of headlines when exposed, even when among fully consenting adults.

Spice level is maybe jalapeno or so, *maybe* a touch hotter, but it is more the exact scenarios of the spice that will test more people than the actual heat of it. So more like a very concentrated lemon suppository kind of heat than a "I'm breathing...

Fun Spicy Bubblegum Paranormal Romance. This is another of those books where the 2* reviews are so wrong as to be laughable. I don't know what is happening with those reviewers of late, but they used to be at least somewhat more reliable, pointing out things that were actually problems from certain perspectives rather than just completely not getting a book at all or even making shit up about it. So ignore those bastards. Seriously.

What we *do* get here is exactly what I said in the title of this review - a fun spicy bubblegum pop paranormal romance that never takes itself overly seriously and just has fun with its premise. We get the children of Greek gods living in NYC - along with a singular "they" most often presented as female but always using "they", so do with that what you will with no judgements from me either direction there. We get a band full of myt...

Female Fight Club Has Zero Magical Realism. A lot of the low-rated reviews of this one claim they expected magical realism in this book and... why? There is literally *nothing* about this book that I can find in the days before its release that would indicate there is a shred of magical realism anywhere near this book... because there isn't any. Expe...
