Stephy Thoughts

If I remember correctly, this was the first book I ever read in this series. And because of it, I refused to stop reading this series. I just really like Lynsay Sands' writing. She mixes angst, humor, action and romance really well and makes her books all enjoyable. And this book was no different. I also like that you can pick up any book in the series and it can stand on it's own as a simple paranormal romance. Reading the entire series in order gives you more, but, like I said, I think this was the first book I read in the series, and I wasn't lost or confused about what was going on, or who was who.

But enough about the series. I'm here to ramble about this book.

Lovely book. 

Characters are all fun and interesting. I like that Marguerite graduated from meddling mother to meddling aunt. I love Marguerite and her meddling, honestly. It's fun. Tiny is a massive trope. Big guy named Tiny that likes to cook? Yeah. That's a trope. But it's one I like, so no complaints from me. Jackie has some nice character growth. And Vincent is the right amount of brooding vampire that it doesn't become annoying. 

The spice is light. While there is some mild sex scenes, the book is more focused on the emotional side of the romance. 

All in all, great book. Great series. Great author. Highly recommend if you like paranormal romance.

6 Things That Won't Get Their Own Blog Post

Oh my. It has been awhile.

It took me awhile to adjust to the new job thing. And when I finally did, shit went to hell at work. And it has been a roller coaster of hell since. But hey! I have done some things besides work. So here is a post! A short one, but it is a post.

 

Hillbilly Diner's Omega 

by Corie Rosling

I should have predicted the West Virginia connection after the three paragraphs about pepperoni rolls. Which... Those three paragraphs were the best part of the entire book.  It was just... not good...



Single White Vampire 

by Lynsay Sands

This book was going to get its own post. I swear. Got it in the drafts folder and everything. But, I finished it around the time I started my new job... Three months ago [it's been almost a year now... I have been really slacking on my online presence. Whoops.]. So, I have forgotten most the details. Especially since I started the next book in the series already. Let's see what I remember...

Lucern Argeneau is a writer, he started with non-fiction but recently transitioned into paranormal romance novels. Which are re-tellings of his siblings finding love. Okay. Weirdo. Kate Leever is his editor who wants him to do some publicity. Which Lucern doesn't want to do because he's a grouchy vampire. 

Lucern finally agrees to doing a convention thanks to his meddling mother. And while at the convention, Lucern and Kate fall in love.

As always, enjoyed this one. Love this series.

 

Five Nights at Freddy's

I don't feel like I know enough about the franchise to give this a worthy blog post. So, here it is. As someone who knows very little about the games, I thought the movie was pretty good. Just a fun little horror movie about animatronics that come to life and murder. That murder cupcake is fucking adorable by the way. Also, I love Matthew Lillard. Dude is just fantastic.


Unveiling Korean Mythology

by A.S Mason

I wanted a book on Korean mythology. This one was okay. But not great. Instead of just telling the stories, this book summarized the stories, which was kind of annoying, in my opinion. 

 

 


The Radium Girls 

by Kate Moore

This book was really good. But really heartbreaking. It was about a group of women who got radiation poisoning and their fight to get the help they deserved. I recommend it if you want to know more about the subject.

 


 Tall, Dark & Hungry 
by Lynsay Sands

Another book in Lynsay Sands' Aregeneau series.  In this one Bastien Argeneau meets his future sister-in-law's cousin. Who is in town for Kate and Lucern's wedding. Oh, and they fall in love, of course. I love this series and I love this book. 


Okay. That's all for this one. 

I got a few more in the drafts. And am also working on a new book review format (might also use it for movies and video games, still deciding). No idea how it will work for me, but we will see.
