During my Holiday shopping adventures from time to time, I ordered a little something for myself. I mean, the deals! One of the items I bought was a 12 days of Christmas Godiva Chocolate box.
The hubs and the kids tried to say I needed to save it (haha) until next Advent. "Ho, ho, no no family," I said, "The 12 days of Christmas isn't December 1st to December 12th, it's the time between Christmas and Epiphany."
Unsurprisingly, they didn't believe me and so instead of trusting my wisdom, they turned to Google. A-Ha! Vindication!
If you have some downtime from work and you are looking for something to read I have begun reading an author who is new to me. Here is a review of one of their books.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Someone on Twitter recommended this author as a writer who writes paranormal romance books that have satisfying conclusions and I'm glad I saw their tweet.
I was able to borrow this book electronically from my library. This book has many of the tropes that I like in paranormal romance- like strong female characters and men who are smart enough to fall for them. I enjoy how the Psy are like the vampires of this world and Nalini Singh's creation of the Psy-Net is fun to read.
There are lots of little details in this book that add to the reading experience like Tammy's kids and the boots, so cute. Even though I had every reason to hope that Sascha would survive and find her HEA, Nalina Singh kept the tension going throughout the book as we worry about Sascha and a potential war between the Changelings and the Psy.
As I read, I wondered which of the side characters might get their own book, this is one of the reasons I enjoy romance series, when you meet side characters and fall in love with them, chances are you'll get to see them star in their own book.
If you like Ilona Andrews, you will enjoy these books!

Great review Victoria! I hadn't made the connection between the Psy and Vampires, but I see it fairly obviously now that you say it.
Thanks!!
