Hexes & Handcuffs

Margo Bond Collins makes you want to go right out and get the next book in the story after reading Broken Chains, “A La Isla Perdida Paranormal Prison Prequel” (say that three times fast - laugh). I am already in love with Evangeline, Mara, and Gage. Collins has magic, shape-shifters, battles, and human a**wipes. Gotta love a story like that. Stick a fork in me because you had me at cat burglars who are chained up. (laugh)

Elizabeth Dunlap kicks off an exciting new series “Highborn Asylum” in Freak. Violet, aka “Letty”, wakes up everyday pretty much with no memory. If she is lucky she sees a boy, who calls her Letty, and does not mind that she can hear the walls talk. All she knows is the walls of the Asylum even though the boy tells her differently. He says she is magic and has seen it. She thinks he is as nuts as her. I loved this story. It is deep, dark, and twisted. It has so much potential. Freaking loved it!!!

Gargoyles that turn into hot men. Men that have a sense of humor and honor? Jen Ponce knows how to write a hero in Rock, Meet Hard Place which is part of the “Magic, Mayhem, & Rebellion Series”. Ponce does not write much about Poppy other than the guys think she is cute (laugh) - typical guys. On the other hand, Ponce has created quite the background for our guys and their gargoyle world. I love their humor most and I have a feeling their punches come with snarky one liners.

Locked in prison is the theme lately. These writers make it seem like fun to watch.
