4 Stars for Victims of Love by Ken Proper https://www.coloradobookreview.com/post/victims-of-love-by-ken-proper

4 stars For publishers and readers alike, summer often means “beach reads.” For some, the term is catnip,. For others, a reason to stay away.

With every slow scr**e under the floorboards, with every glimpse of silhouetted antlers, with every mangled, bloody co**se they come across, it was toying with them, letting them wonder who will be next. Wondering if they will be next. Piper and....

The Forge of Bonds Chronicle Four in The Adventures of Jason Lex Series by Wendy Terrien

You can’t blame Jason, Sadie, and their friends and family for just wanting things to return to normal after all of the supernatural upheaval they’ve been through recently.

It is only when Sadie sees the errant Bigfoot and believes it to be Merinda, the… [ 227 more words ]

Celestina’s Burnings by Annemarie Schiavi Pedersen

In telling the tale of Celestina’s Burnings, a Florentine jongleur, or minstrel, might wax poetic about our he**ine and muse being virtuous and fair, with hair the color of summer and smelling like almonds. Or he might give his audience a hero to root for—Rinaldo, he of the chiseled physique and noble acts of bravery, not to mention Celestina’s true love. [ 309 more words ]
