Review: Master of Smoke by Angela Knight

Master of Smoke (Mageverse, #11)

I didn’t realize going into this book that I had read two of the earlier books in the series years ago. But as I was reading I started to feel a weird sense of déjà vu. Vampire Knights of the Round Table? Direkind? Haven’t I read this before? What cinched it was when the king [...]

The Darling Strumpet A Novel of Nell Gwynn, Who Captured the Heart of England and King Charles II

How have I not heard of Nell Gwynn before this? I recognized the names of most of her contemporaries, but somehow she has skated under my radar until now. Luckily I was able to snag the copy offered to Fiction Vixen and immerse myself in Nell’s life during the era of King Charles II. The [...]
