On my reading blog, I review Atonement Sky by Nalini Singh. A highly emotional romance, like always. Not necessarily among the best books in the series, but satisfying. Out now!

#ScribesAndMakers 17, Tell us about a book you like _despite_ its cover

Okay, I'm game. There's a book I love, love, love to bits, it's short, it's intense and by an indie author I utterly respect, Doranna Durgin:

The cover is awful (and I'm glad to see Doranna is about to re-issue them with new covers).

The writing is among the most beautiful I've seen. Do give it a try. Seriously.

(Even the sex scene is tasteful.)

Wowed by Blood and Embers by Jordan Michelle

Title: Blood and Embers
Author: Jordan Michelle
Publication Date: May 1, 2025
Genres: Magic Romance
Representation: Lesbian

Wow, what a read! I went into Blood and Embers with some pretty significant expectations, having been pitched an enemies-to-lovers lesbian romantasy with a (nb)butch/femme relationship, and for the first few chapters it seemed like that was exactly what we were getting.

And then it got weirder and wilder, darker and deeper. Jordan Michelle invests the story with its own mythology, one that goes far beyond the usual supernatural-themed entries in the genre, all while doubling down on the romance, weaving in some steamy erotica, and building a compelling story around it.

I’m hesitant to say too much about the plot, because I think it’s best unraveled and discovered naturally, but the way Michelle layers in each new development is fantastic. I was stopped in my tracks more than a few times, genuinely surprised by where the story went next, and each time the new layer paid off.

As for the relationship between the magical (and wealthy) Ellis Avalon and the reluctant detective Lilith Covington, it’s full of all the tension, drama, suspense, excitement, sorrow, and joy that a reader could hope for. It’s not just enemies-to-lovers, it’s enemies-to-mortal-foes-to-enemies-to-lovers. Their relationship shifts along with the reveal of each new layer, which means we get plenty of time to get to know them and become invested in what’s developing between them.

Blood and Embers is fast-paced, fun, and fantastic in the truest sense of the word. Well worth the read.

Rating: 1/2

I'm excited to share a brand-new free sapphic paranormal romance ebook with you!

Interesting video:
"Paranormal romance sucks, but it's better than Romantasy"
by James Tullos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fDPeDMVQdE

James discusses the differences between the two subgenres. He points out, among other things, that often in Romantasy, which is mostly set in high fantasy settings, the worldbuilding is shallow, the romances are pretty bad and the male love interests often seem very similar in several different books.

I thought I would share the cute scene break in "A Shape-Shifter's Guide to Romancing a Human."

I'll send the free ebook to my newsletter subscribers tomorrow and will share it on social media a few days later.

A wonderful new review for my two new sapphic paranormal romances:

"The tension between Tala and Faith crackles from the very first page. Their opposing beliefs and backgrounds set the stage for a riveting enemies-to-lovers dynamic."
