I had a great time with this audiobook! It was fun to imagine this world where the people in charge of holidays have their own community and power structure. Coal, or Nicholas Claus, is Santa’s son and can’t seem to do anything right these days. His father is pushing him into a marriage with the […]

This was fun! I have read a lot of paranormal romances and consider myself a pretty big fan, but this is the first time I have encountered one featuring the Loch Ness Monster as the Hero. Lachlan and Key were both fantastic characters and I wanted to see things work out for them as they […]

This was good! I have had this book for almost a decade. When I realized it was part of a series, I put it off because I like to read it in order if possible. After this many years, it is obvious that I am not going to be reading the first 14 books in […]

This was a wonderful read! I enjoyed the first two books in the Stealing Infinity series and was eager to dive into this installment. I have grown to care about these characters and couldn’t wait to see how things would work out for them. I had pretty high expectations for this book and I am […]

This was great! I admit that this book first hit my radar because of the gorgeous first edition (and I can’t wait to get my hands on the copy I ordered!). Once I read the synopsis, I knew I needed to read this book! The story was just as good as I had hoped and […]

November 2024 November was an eventful month.  I worked from home for a week and a half, dealt with a flooded basement, interviewed for a full-time position, got the job, and gave my notice at my current job.  These changes took a lot of energy and created a bit of stress. We celebrated Thanksgiving twice. […]

This was very good! I am not going to lie: I initially picked this book up for the cover. It is a pretty awesome cover. When I first started reading, I wondered if the assumptions that I had made were wrong since it didn’t feel like a horror novel. Eventually, the family drama gave way […]
