Review: Shadowplay by Terry Mancour and Emily Burch Harris

Posted on November 30, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Shadowplay is the first novel in Terry Mancour and Emily Burch Harris’ Spellmonger: Legacy and Secrets series. Now, admittedly I hadn’t read the rest of the Spellmonger series before diving into this spin-off series, so it is awe-inspiring that I had no trouble following along. I will have to add the original series to my TBR list. Continue reading →

Review: Secrets So Deep by Ginny Myers Sain

Posted on November 29, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

Eeee! It’s finally here! I fell in love with Ginny Myers Sain’s writing last year (was it only last year?) when Dark and Shallow Lies was released. Naturally, I’ve been counting down the days until the release of Secrets So Deep (unluckily for me, my book got delivered to the wrong address, so I had to wait a bit longer than I had hoped).
