REVIEW: Eternal Magic by Alexandra Ivy

Veena’s review of Eternal Magic (Magic for Hire, Book 3) by Alexandra Ivy
Romantic Suspense published by Lyrical Press 28 Feb 25 

After reading the first two books in the series, I was on tenterhooks waiting for Maya’s story, which now surpasses my expectations and gives us an exciting finish to the trilogy – though, perhaps, the author isn’t done with this world and there are more stories to tell, if the supporting characters have their say.

Sandy M’s review of Onyx Storm (Empyrean, Book 3) by Rebecca Yarros
Fantasy Romance published by Entangled: Red Tower Books 21 Jan 25

Onyx Storm, the third book in Yarros’ Empyrean series, is another nailbiter with twists and turns you don’t see coming until they’re right on top of both you and the characters. Violet and Xaden, along with all the other players we’ve come to love, are preparing for war. It’s a race against time, and no one knows if there’s a solution to be had for peace – something they’ve not known for quite some time.

REVIEW: Hail Mary by Andy Weir

Kaitlyn‘s review of Hail Mary by Andy Weir
Science Fiction published by Ballantine Books 4 May 21

This is my first time using an audiobook for a first-time read and it couldn’t have been a better experience. I think it makes this book even more enjoyable. The alien sound effects are a great addition, and I couldn’t listen to this fast enough.

REVIEW: In Need of a Cowboy by Linda Lael Miller & Heather Graham

Sandy M’s review of In Need of a Cowboy by Linda Lael Miller & Heather Graham
Contemporary Western Romance published by Kensington Books 21 Jan 25

It’s been a while since I’ve read a good cowboy romance, so when I saw these two very popular authors giving me two for one, I decided now is the time to get into a couple of western stories. I’ve read and really enjoyed a number of Miller’s books over the years, but only one or two Grahams and I don’t believe those were westerns. Which, in the long run, is neither here nor there. It’s just I was expecting better reading from both authors – one delivered and one is just simply okay.
