2016 TBR Challenge: The Siren’s Touch by Amber Belldene

The Siren's Touch with a cookie and teapot.

Ghost romance? Yeah, I wasn’t so sure either. But in The Siren’s Touch I was pleasantly surprised to find an unexpectedly twisty, intriguing and ultimately satisfying read.

The Spymaster’s Lady Lobster BLTs for 2015 TBR Challenge

This month’s TBR Challenge theme was RITA winning or RITA nominated books, in honor of this month’s RITA awards. Unfortunately, RITA winners and I don’t have a great track record. As I was skimming the lists, I recognized several books I absolutely loathed. Of course, I loved Carolyn Crane’s Off the Edge from last year
