Story4.5 out of 5 stars 245
Feisty, passionate Beatrice Steele has never fit the definition of a true lady, according to the strict code of conduct that reigns in Swampshire, her small English township—she is terrible at needlework, has absolutely no musical ability, and her artwork is so bad it frightens people. Nevertheless, she lives a perfectly agreeable life with her marriage-scheming mother, prankster father, and two younger sisters— beautiful Louisa and forgettable Mary. But she harbors a dark secret: She is obsessed with the true crime cases she reads about in the newspaper.

Exactly what it should be - good twists - lots of good enjoyable quirkiness 😁 I’ll look for more from the author 👍

Good paranormal “regency” romance

I enjoyed it all. Narrator confused me for a moment occasionally when her character voices blended together. But was comfortable to listen to. Enjoyed the stories.
I was starting to get annoyed by her coming back to home when he violently (verbal) turned her away so many times.
I’ll be reading the next books too 👍

Sancia Grado is a thief, and a damn good one. And her latest target, a heavily guarded warehouse on Tevanne’s docks, is nothing her unique abilities can’t handle. But unbeknownst to her, Sancia’s been sent to steal an artifact of unimaginable power, an object that could revolutionize the magical technology known as scriving. The Merchant Houses who control this magic - the art of using coded commands to imbue everyday objects with sentience - have already used it to transform Tevanne into a vast, remorseless capitalist machine.

When quiet Orrin and his extroverted best friend, Daniel, were transported to a strange RPG-based world, not much changed between them. Daniel became a hero of legend, while Orrin remained his unobtrusive shadow. Only when they faced a particularly lethal foe did Orrin step out of his comfort zone and display his true worth—with powers he didn't know he had. Of course, Daniel got all the glory, but Orrin doesn't mind. He's just happy they're both still alive.

Enjoyed the whole book. Enjoyed that things we’re not perfect. Didn’t enjoy the sort of cliff hanger ;) but like that the authors style isn’t doom and gloom so things will probably be ok even if I don’t know how yet👍

An inn is a place to rest, a place to talk and share stories, a place to find adventure, or a starting ground for quests and legends. It is in this world, at least. To Erin Solstice, an inn seems like a medieval relic from the past. But here she is, running from Goblins and trying to survive in a world full of monsters and magic. She’d be more excited about all of this if everything wasn’t trying to kill her. But an inn is what she’s found, and so that’s what she becomes; an innkeeper, who serves drinks to heroes and monsters. Mostly monsters. But it’s a living, right?

I enjoyed the main premise and story but…
Reviewed: 08-13-24
I don’t like how often this authors kills off large chunks of their cast.
I don’t like the manic and depressive rants that the main characters always find themself in. I think you can get the point across with far fewer pages. To prevent from going too far into the depressed feelings myself I often start skipping chunks. The story is worth the end…I think
