Review: The Haunted Librarian by Auralee Wallace

The Haunted Librarian Author: Auralee Wallace Reviewer: Jen Rating: B What I’m Talking About: Raised in the foster system, Amelia kept to herself and learned early on not to share with others the fact that she can communicate with ghosts. She created rules for herself and stayed away from living humans as not to appear weird and be rejected. It’s a sad existence but Amelia truly believes it is the only way to live.

Listen Up! #Audiobook Review: Batter and Broomsticks by Danielle Garrett

Batter and Broomsticks by Danielle Garrett Rosella and Orion are back in Batter and Broomsticks, the fifth full-length title in Garrett’s cozy Sugar Shack Witch Mysteries. Each book features a standalone mystery; however, the individual cases are all part of a larger, ongoing plotline, so I strongly recommend reading the books in order.  Ella and Orion continue to investigate the mysterious amplification stones, trying to figure out what they do and where their magic went.

Review: Badass Alien Boss by Cara Bristol

This office romance could not be more explosive.  Cara Bristol’s exciting, steamy, and yet flirty alien romances are an out of this world treat that I can’t miss.
