Saffron Wilds by Kai Butler
San Amaro Investigations #6
LGBTQ Urban Fantasy
February 28, 2023 – Self Published
Review by Angela
This is such a fantastic urban fantasy series, that in my opinion, does not get enough attention. Saffron Wilds is the sixth book in the San Amaro Investigations series featuring Parker Ferro, a man who wears many hats… private investigator, consultant for the local police department, and The Windrose to the fae. Parker and his lover, now fiancee, Detective Nick King have always ended up right in the middle of every paranormal clash in the city and now it all ..read more

The Gorgon Agenda (SPI Files #8) by Lisa Shearin
Urban Fantasy
Released January 24, 2023
Reviewed by Kate
The Gorgon Agenda is the eighth installment in Lisa Shearin’s SPI Files. There are very few urban fantasy series that I have stuck with as long as this one, and it continues to deliver an enjoyable read each time I pick up the latest installment, including this one.
It is hard in a longer running series to keep things fresh, but The Gorgon Agenda expands on the mythology of the SPI Files world, bringing in gorgons and gargoyles into the group of supernatural creatures that SPI ha ..read more

Review by Angela
So I was innocently scrolling through Amazon, compiling books for my new release post, when this book suddenly appeared. And my eyes about popped out of my head. I’d waited five long years for another Kit Colbana adventure and suddenly here it was. Then I realized I didn’t remember all of the specifics of the last several books, especially where book 6 (the last book featuring Kit as the main protagonist), left off… so I went on a skimming reread of the last several books i ..read more

Duke Most Wicked by Lenora Bell
Wallflowers vs. Rogues #3
Historical Romance
09/27/22 by Avon
ARC
For some reason, every book in this series has been a slow read for me. Maybe it’s the low angst, maybe it’s the pacing… I’m not quite sure. It took me a month and a half to finally dig in and finish reading.
This is the story of the Duke of Westbury and his sister’s music teacher, Viola Beaton. Westbury is rogue and a scoundrel and a wastrel. He pretty much gambles, drinks, and parties all the time. He even manages to gamble away his sister’s doweries. But after overhearing some outrageous go ..read more

Review by Iby
Mercy Thompson fans – rejoice! We have a new installment to dig into. In this thirteenth book in the series, the vampire Wulfe is missing – which is concerning, as his most recent past-time has included stalking Mercy. When he disappears, the mistress of the seethe informs Mercy that the pack must produce Wulfe, or their alliance would be in jeopardy.
Besides Wulfe disappearing, Mercy and Adam discover that other, less powerful supernatural beings have disappeared. Between this, and some ..read more
