An enjoyable read with likeable characters (aside from the obvious villains). Drake & Penn's love story was fun & sexy, though I really wish we got to know more about Diana's relationship with Lucien & her life as a vampire. A+ side characters; Frann, Grace, & Eleva are the people you want on your side when shit goes down.

Many thanks to Sophie Davis, Sophie Davis Books, & Netgalley for providing me with an ARC.

Winterfrost Market is a cute & cozy fantasy romance that I really enjoyed. Elsie & Kit worked well together as a couple, & I really loved the addition of Peppermint the magic dog (who loves sausages). I'm looking forward to reading more books in this series / universe!

3.0

This was a cute Christmas romance that I enjoyed reading, however the insta-love lets-stay-together-forever-immediately thing kind of threw me off and made it feel a little less believable. That said, the characters were likeable, and I'm a big fan of Smoosh the dog.

I've been a fan of purr.in.ink for a while now, Luis' drawings always make me smile and this book was no different. The Book of Purrs is a wonderful collection of adorable cat art and inspiring quotes, and will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside, much like a real life cat will.
