Review: The Ballad of Never After - Book #2 OUABH Series - Stephanie Garber - September 2022 Ever been in one of those months where books that should have taken you a couple of hours to read, have ended up taking days to read? The feeling is not because the book is dumb or boring, but because you just aren't motivated or connecting to the story like you normally should.  The Ballad of Never After by Stephanie Garber started like that as the first couple of days I read it, I only had gotten up to about Chapter 13. Last night though, I managed to get into the book again and I felt like my reading buzz had picked up again which excited me. The book starts with Evangeline Fox's husband Apollo in a coma, and a new long-lost prince ready to take the throne. This long-lost prince of course isn't a real prince but Luc aka Evangeline's first love, Lucius aka Vampire Boy. Then Apollo has a few curses placed on him - a mirror curse which means if he or Evangeline gets hurt - the i

Review: Black Widows - Cate Quinn - February 2021 As someone who prides themselves on their reading ability, one of the only talents I have had. This month has been a real internal struggle for me as I have found my reading affected by my external situations. This month has been a crazy one for me and I am struggling to read and finish my books. What should have taken me only an hour or two to read is taking multiple days. This is no reflection of the book though. This book was loosely based on the 2008 raid of The Yearning of Zion Way, a cult that was operated by Warren Jeffs as one of the wives - Rachel was part of a cult talked about that was raided when she was a teenager. In Black Widows, we have a dead husband and the murder suspects are one of his three wives - Rachel, Tina, or Emily. Blake has been found dead in the Utah desert with his ring finger cut off. The book then goes through the police investigation as they try to get to the bottom of what happened and then when the s

There are three things I know without question. One: demons are real. Two: humans make awful mistakes that get them in demonic trouble more often than you’d think. And three: I’m the only one who can help them. I straddle the line between the mortal and spiritual realms every day. People might think they’re two different places, but they’re not.
