Interesting world-building and magic systems don't make up for the two-dimensional characters and flat relationships in this urban fantasy reverse harem romance.

Sunshine and Bullets by CoraLee June
30August
A dark reverse harem romance that's unforgiving and twisted; it's a story where the good guys are bad, and the bad guys are worse.

Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews
A gripping-the-edge-of-your-seat action-driven urban fantasy that is narrated by kickass PI Nevada; however, the light romance was frustrating.

16August
A disappointing slow-burn romance that failed to create a meaningful connection between its main characters, and made worse by its dull Heroine.

Iron and Magic by Ilona Andrews
09August
An action-driven urban fantasy that sets up marriage-of-convenience between two anti-Hero leaders, one of which is a shrewd and badass Heroine. However, the Hero's insufferable narcissism stops the book from reaching 5-stars.

An adorable fake dating romance that explores family tension and pasts that won't rest but depends on too many clichés.

Stone Guardian (Entwined Realms, #1) by Danielle Monsch
24May
Gryphons flying past skyscrapers? Wizards battling it out in coffeehouses? Women riding motorcycles with large swords strapped to their backs? All normal sights since the Great Collision happened twenty-six years ago.
Well, not normal for everyone. Larissa Miller may have been born after the Great Collision, but as a history teacher who lives in the human-only city, she has never come into contact with any other race or species, nor has she wanted to. Her life is as ordinary as it gets - that is, until one day she walks out of her apartment and is attacked by a mob of Zombies, only to be saved by a Gargoyle.
Gargoyles trust no one outside their Clan, but due to a cryptic prophecy, Terak, Leader of the Gargoyles, has been watching over the human woman for months. While he can find no reason why the woman has been singled out, something about her stirs every protective instinct within him. When the attack confirms that the threats against her exist and are real, he convinces Larissa that though their races have never been allies, the best chance of discovering why she has been brought into his world is by working together.
In the course of their investigation Terak becomes entranced by his little human. But when he discovers why Necromancers want her and the great reward that awaits him if he betrays her, he must choose between the welfare of his Clan and not only Larissa’s life, but the fate of this New Realm as well.
