Malin's Reviews:

The importance of choosing and being chosen in return

June 6, 2018 by Malin 6 Comments

I was very kindly granted an ARC of this book in return for an unbiased review. I had already pre-ordered the book when I was given the ARC. The book is on sale now, and I recommend that you buy it. This is the second novel in The Worth Saga. While it might work fine as a stand alone book, I would recommend beginning with the first book in the series, Once Upon a Marquess, to get a better idea of whom all the various supporting characters from […]

I did like the bit where Theresa discovers how to make “magic elf-bread”

3.5 stars This is a re-read. My original review of the book can be found here. As of me posting this, the book is on sale for $0.99 at most e-book retailers.  This book was such a disappointment to me when it came out, and as I mention in my original review, it was not an easy book for Ms. Milan to write, and felt a bit cobbled together and nothing really worked all that well as a result. With the next volume in the series just […]

A firewoman, a horse named Trixie Skillz and the literal embodiment of Pestilence ride across post-apocalyptic North America

May 15, 2018 by Malin 2 Comments

There was  chaos, and then people learned to adapt. Five years later, only one horseman is active – Pestilence the Conqueror, who rides the length and breadth of the American continent, with whole cities dying where he’s appeared. In a small settlement in Canada, Sara Burns is a volunteer firefighter who literally drew the short […]

All the family secrets come out in this one

April 29, 2018 by Malin Leave a Comment

This is the third book in a trilogy, and it’s probably best to have read at least Hate to Want You first, to fully get the most out of the story. The central romance works on its own, but there are a lot of stuff in this book that works best if you’ve read at least the first book in the series. Evangeline “Eve” Chandler has quietly suffered her father’s verbal abuse for much of her life, and only recently started standing up for herself and choosing […]
