[Book Review] Otherworld Nights: An Anthology By Kelley Armstrong & Coffee AM Old-Fashioned Gingerbread Flavored Coffee
I have a confession to make: I’ve never read any of the books in the Otherworld series. I’ve always meant to, but the closest I’ve come to it is watching the Bitten TV show, based on the book of the same name, airing on the Syfy channel. I decided to read this collection of short stories as a way to get a little of sample of the much acclaimed series and see if it fit my taste, as one might buy a sample assortment of a popular brand of chocolates before investing in a five pound box based on word of mouth alone.

[Book Review] In The Fire By Eileen Griffin And Nikka Michaels & Van Houtte Crème Brulee Light Roast
Not going to lie, when I first read the description of this book I was more than a little surprised and thrown off. When we last left Ethan and Jamie at the end of In The Raw, the two up-and-coming chefs were very much in love and facing their six month separation with so much hope for the future – to find out they had broken up not too long after and have been apart for eight (eight!) years was startling and upsetting. I almost didn’t want to even read this book, worried that it would break my heart as I really loved these two guys together, but I had…

[Book Review] In The Raw By Eileen Griffin And Nikka Michaels & Schuil Coffee Co. Chocolate Éclair
As a fan of cooking competition shows, I knew I was going to like this book. Those who enjoy cooking or cooking shows will love the familiar cooking methods and terms that provide the flavor for this book (see what I did there? ), but they’re used and explained in such a way that even if you have no experience with these things going in, you’ll still be able to enjoy it. And I did, I really enjoyed this book, as much for the culinary school setting as for the great main characters.

[Book Review] Red Blooded By Amanda Carlson & Happyrock Coffee Roasting Co. El Chupacabra
Jessica McClain has not had it easy since she came into her birthright as the only female werewolf in existence and reincarnation of a powerful Lycan ancestor. An uncovered prophecy that places her as a threat to the power held by each supernatural sect has not endeared her to many, but so far she’s managed to make nice with the leaders and most powerful members of the werewolves, vampires, and witches. In Red Blooded, the fourth book in the Jessica McClain series, the demons want their day and have assigned Jessica a court date in Hell to answer for alleged crimes against their order.
