Book Review: Legends and Lattes – Travis Baldree
I have been a fan of Travis Baldree ever since I heard his narration of Will Wight's Cradle series as well as TurtleMe's Beginning after the End series. When I found out he had his own book out, and it was a cozy fantasy, I just had to add it to my TBR. While it …

Series Review: The Inheritance Games – Jennifer Lynn Barnes
The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a trilogy that at first glance gave me a who-dunnit vibe. I couldn't be more wrong. These books are teen romance with a dash of mystery to them.
