Note that if like my thirteen year old self you also stumble on this Dragonquest review unawares I will be discussing Dragonflight spoilers. Returning twenty two years and a lot of reading and life experience later, I hope to give it a fairer showing this time around. This is perhaps why it didn’t have as much of an impact upon me then as it might’ve done. Though I did then read Dragonflight, due to the vagaries of library services it was actually a few Pern books later that I got back to Dragonquest. Dragonquest was the first Dragonriders book I ever ran across, albeit not the first I ever read since only a glance at the introduction showed thirteen year old me that the book was part of a series. ![]() ![]() To make matters worse, he barely prevents Gray from feeding on their only lead.

Previous book: Hunter of DemonsNext book: Reaper of SoulsCaleb Jansen's old life is in ruins after being possessed by the vampire spirit Gray. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The sexual chemistry and romantic development between Laurel and Russ was realistic, well written, sweet, and steamy. Laurel’s female insecurities and insights are so genuine, honest, relatable, and flat-out hilarious, and I just loved her character. This is the first romance book I’ve read that featured a hearing impaired heroine, and she’s utterly adorable and funny as hell. She’s looking for some wild, no-holds-barred, no-strings-attached sex and lucky for her, hot-as-sin, testosterone-dripping cop Russ seems the perfect man to give her exactly what she needs. ![]() Laurel is tired of being the perpetual “good girl” and living a somewhat sheltered life as a result of being deaf since childhood. The last thing Russ wants or needs is a relationship because between his demanding job and raising his teenage brother Sean, there’s no time left for a personal life. This is a very cute, funny, spicy romantic read with a sexy, rugged, alpha detective who finds himself completely out of his element when he goes all soft and mushy for a woman he meets on his latest police investigation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Despite their obvious connection, April insists they’ve just been putting on an act.

On the verge of being an empty nester, she’s decided to move on from her quaint little town, and asks her friend Mitch for his help with some home improvement projects to get her house ready to sell. Single mother April Parker has lived in Willow Creek for twelve years with a wall around her heart. An accidentally in-love rom-com filled with Renaissance Faire flower crowns, kilts, corsets, and sword fights. ![]() ![]() ![]() Under British law, the Have-His-Carcase Act, you cannot hold an inquest into a death until you have a body. ![]() Yet for its time and place it is actually a very good title. Sayers must be one of the oddest, at least for American readers. Many murder mysteries have been given odds titles, but “Have His Carcase” (1932) by Dorothy L. Sayers including rare images from the Marion E. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dorothy L. Have His Carcase is the 8th book in the Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries, but you may enjoy the series by reading the books in any order.

By being pulled from the covenant, she is now behind in her training, and there is still question as to whether she could truly catch up and resume studies with all her peers. The story starts with Alex on the run, because her mother pulled her out of the covenant three years prior, and she is both trying to stay alive and make it back to the covenant in one piece after her mother’s gruesome death by Daimon. ![]() I shouldn’t be surprised, I really shouldn’t-she truly is an excellent author. ![]() She invaded my mind and made me fall in love with yet another of her male leads. She has a way of getting under your skin and consuming you, and that is exactly what she did with this book. But thank gods (lol) I did! I decided to go on blind faith because I loved Jennifer’s other YA series, which I still think about at LEAST once a week, and because she is a great writer. ![]() There were so many terms that I had never seen or heard of, so I was nervous to give this book a try. When I read the synopsis of this book, I was utterly confused. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now they're happily married wives and mothers with successful careers-Zadie as a pediatric cardiologist and Emma as a trauma surgeon. Zadie Anson and Emma Colley have been best friends since their early twenties, when they first began navigating serious romantic relationships amid the intensity of medical school. ![]() A powerful debut novel, praised by The New York Times, Bustle, and Hypable, that pulses with humor and empathy as it explores the heart's capacity for forgiveness. ![]() |
