KT Book Reviews

Veil of Shadows by new to me author, Diane Marik has been an incredible surprise. Never having read her before I was pleasantly surprised to find a mixture of JR Ward, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Laurell K Hamilton, and Charlene Harris. I’m going to assume she’s a fan of these authors because she encompasses all of them in her writing. As a fan of paranormal romance, I'm delighted to share that VOS is filled with longing, intrigue, and the chaos that only the high courts of vampires can provide.

Book two in the Spice Isle Bakery Mysteries series is my first time reading Olivia Mathews and I am happy to report it won't be my last. I'll be grabbing the previous book, Against the Currant, as soon as possible. From the family dynamic to the building plot I had the best time. I'm a big fan of Lyndsay's voice and view.
