Tempted Chapters 38 & 39
Chapter 38 Sorry about the recent delay. My already anemic posting schedule was interrupted by frantic last minute studying for a certification test. Being as the cost was all out of pocket to me, I spent a solid week doing … Continue reading

Chosen Chapter 20
Part of what makes Zoey and her servants so unbearable is their unrealistic reactions. Take Zoey’s conversation with Stevie last chapter. She’d just potentially killed two people, drank from Heath and was thinking about boning Loren, all of which she … Continue reading

Inheritance Chapter 57
The last couple of chapters got me thinking about dragon eggs. Not about the physiology, that’s pointless when dealing in fantasy because the author’s answer will always just be “it’s magic”. I mean more about them and Gabby. Like, why … Continue reading
