This Chick Read: The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead


The picture above is of Richelle Mead at the RT16 Book Fair in Vegas last April. I had her sign the copy she is holding above, and will raffle it off below, so please look for the link to win! THIS CONTEST IS OVER

Review:

When I read the synopsis for this book, I thought, ok, hasn’t this topic been done already? But, as I read the book, I realized, that while there is one similarity to The Selection by Kiera Cass, this book takes that general idea, and enhances it a thousand fold.

This Chick Read: Wicked Burn (Realm Enforcers #3) by Rebecca Zanetti

Rebecca Zanetti’s bio on Amazon says she wasn’t finished with the Dark Protectors series, so she created the Realm Enforces series, to continue some of these characters storylines. Thank Goodness for that!

This Chick Read: Before the Fall by Noah Hawley

This story starts with a plane crash and admittedly, as my father is a retired pilot, plane crashes are not my favorite subject to read about.  However, as the plot unfolded, the plane crash, although it was the impetus driving the plot, was not what this story was about.  This novel was about human nature.  Noah Hawley revealed each character’s strengths and flaws, Continue reading “This Chick Read: Before the Fall by Noah Hawley” →

This Chick Read: Ride Hard by Laura Kaye

There is a fascination in the romance industry for the hard living, hard drinking, lawless, overly tattooed man’s man, who finds himself tamed by either the lawful girl next door or the beautiful buxom damsel in distress.  This novel gives us a heroine, Haven, who is a bit of both.  The MC Biker hero is Dare Kenyon, also all of the above, but mixed in with the tattoo’s and hard living is a decent guy Continue reading “This Chick Read: Ride Hard by Laura Kaye” →
