Burned by Karen Marie Moning

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


Karen Marie Moning is one of my authors. I am a lover of all things Fever, and have enjoyed every installment in the series up until reading Burned. I have been able to devour every book in this series in one sitting; but not this one. Mac, Barrons, and the other characters that I've loved reading about just didn't thrill me. I just found the characters lackluster. I did enjoy getting more insight to the Nine, but that wasn't enough to carry Burned. The cliffhanger ending that I've come to expect and learned to love, was lacking that KMM formula that in the past has left me fiending for the next installment. That said, I do have a copy of Feverborn not even five feet away from me which I will start reading tonight. My hope is that I'll be able to read it with the the same enthusiasm as I've done with other books in this series.

Last night while I was half asleep, I had the greatest idea for a new story. I swear, I had written bestseller just before falling asleep. I got up to start physically writing those ideas down, and my mind went blank. Does that ever happen to you? You're falling asleep and suddenly you have the best idea. But if you're like me, you have a dog asleep on each arm, one across you legs, and a cat asleep on your head so moving quickly to write something down is out of the question.

Would-Be Witch by Kimberly Frost

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This was such a light a refreshing read. It's just what I needed to get my reading mojo back. I enjoyed it so much that I bought the next two books in the series. I've also done extensive research on Ocelots- those who have read the series will know what I mean. I'm excited to see how the relationships between the characters continues to grow as the series progresses. Kimberly Frost, in my opinion, has done an amazing job with the world building here. I've never been to Texas, but after reading this one, I felt like a novice Texan witch caught up in a magical world. Great job! I can't wait to see what the rest of series has to offer.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'm a huge fan of the craft. So much so, that I've decided to try my own hand at writing. It's been close to two years, and I'm getting better and better. With several works in progress (WIP), I've decided to focus on just two. My goal is to have one, or both completed soon and ready for beta readers. That said, one of my WIPs had taken on a mind of its own. The story is far off from where I intended. What I thought would be an urban fantasy murder mystery has turned into a feminists battle cry. I guess I'll just keep writing and see where the characters lead me. There's inspiration everywhere I turn, and I'm excited to see how the story unfolds.

Maybe Baby by Kim Golden

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Maybe Baby had some of everything! I absolutely loved it. Reading it was just what I needed to get out of my reading funk- thanks Kim! I avoided reading in depth reviews, and even looking at how others here on goodreads had shelved the book, so I didn't know what to expect. In spite of it all, I loved all the characters- those of you who read it know who I mean. The setting was so refreshing. For someone like me who isn't well traveled, the author did an amazing job of describing the setting/ environment. I want to go to Copenhagen so bad I don't know what to do with myself.

All that aside, I enjoyed reading a romance novel dealing with the subject matter of woman wanting a baby. I think a lot of authors struggle with making the desire for motherhood 'sexy', but Kim Golden did an amazing job. Good Lawd! This book had some hot scenes, LOL!!!
