Reviews for books I gave three stars to.
I apparently read this series years ago, but I remember none of it. Red Gloves is a mercenary and extremely practical woman. She may be attracted to the goat herder Josiah but also isn’t amused by the belief that she is the prophesied one who will save their corrupted kingdom. Red Gloves and Josiah’s story … More Review: Dagger-Star by Elizabeth Vaughan
“Every ending is a beginning, and every beginning an end.” First off, I should have looked up the recommended reading order for Vaughan’s books because I didn’t realize this book should be read after reading the Epic of Palins series. The events that happened in that series tie directly into this series and affect the … More Review: WarDance by Elizabeth Vaughan
Amelia and the family are back in Egypt preparing to tackle a new archaeological dig in the Valley of the Kings. Unfortunately, the tomb they find is not of an ancient Egyptian but a murdered woman who’s murderer seems to be back. The more I read of this series, the more I fell in love … More Review: Seeing a Large Cat by Elizabeth Peters
Lassiter has been part of this series for a while now and I have loved him since he was introduced. I was extremely excited to finally read his book and see him fall in love, and while I did like this book I am left with a lot of questions. First off, Lassiter and Rahvyn’s … More Review: Lassiter by J. R. Ward
Rory and Nate’s story is one that I was eager to read because they clearly have been into each other for a while now. While I did enjoy this, it was a bit of an anticlimactic ending for this series. Nate was a sweet guy who has basically tried to turn his life around. He … More Review: Rising Tide by E. M. Lindsey

Hawke has been a character that I have wanted to know more about from the beginning of this series. He has a speech impairment and usually uses sign language with the other guys. While he is still a quiet one, it was nice to get to know him and how he came to be a … More Review: Wicked by E. M. Lindsey
Amelia and Emerson return to Egypt with Ramses and Nefret in tow for another year of excavating. This time to find an undisturbed royal tomb that is irresistible to tomb robbers and thieves.

Now weeks later he has found her working in a bar and apparently pregnant with his child.

We finally have Serovek and Anhuset’s book. Serrovek has been flirting with Anhuset throughout this series so it’s about time we see these two actually admit feelings. While I did enjoy this book, it was not how I was expecting Serovek and Anhuset’s story to go. To start with, this is a slower paced and … More Review: The Ippos King by Grace Draven
