I do the youtube. It’s actually pretty cool and you get to see my face (still not sure if that is a perk or not).

Hey-yo! I'm Sam, a twenty something professional swooner that may or may not have an addiction to storytelling.

Welcome to my little neck of the interwebs where I basically get to gush about my favorite storytellers and their stories! Grab some popcorn, a blanket and let's chat!

Paranormal romance meets historical romance in Fir

Paranormal romance meets historical romance in Firelight! Kristen Callihan entices readers with her Darkest London series debut novel that depicts the story of Miranda Ellis, a girl with a burning gift that has haunted her since her youth, and Lord Benjamin Archer a man whose hunt for the truth has left him with a fate that he could never have imagined. Blackmailed into marrying Archer, Miranda can’t help but wonder what exactly her newfound husband is hiding behind his many masks; and what is the truth behind the recent murders that have the entire police department and London society believing Archer is the culprit.

Y’all I said it once and I’ll say it again—Historical romance hits different with a mystery involved! But sweet honey chicken biscuits from Whataburger y’all—historical romance with PARANORMAL romance?! 😍🔥 That’s a whole other level of serotonin that I need shot into my veins. I really enjoyed this story, which is not surprising since I’m a lover of all things Kristen Callihan.

Miranda was such an interesting character to read; her tenacity and elegance had me all but tripping over myself to get more of her story, not to mention my theatre loving side shoving my chores to the deep end so I could get extra time with Lord Archer who undoubtedly had some hard core Phantom of the Opera vibes going on.

The plot was completely unique and wholeheartedly fun; and even though I have more questions than answers by the end of it, I’m excited to see all that will happen in the next story! Kristen Callihan showed up with Firelight and if you are looking for a fun, quick paced paranormal/historical romance to light up your life—this one is it!

In exactly two days, I’ll be packing my bags and boarding a flight to Turkey! After countless hours binging Turkish TV, and 2 years of learning the language—I’ll finally be able to live my best Dizi obsessed life. With a 12 hour flight ahead of me (both ways), I need some quality reading material! Taking only my iPad/Kindle, here are all the books I plan to *hopefully* demolish during my vacation!

🏒Game Changer by Rachel Reid - Word on the street is that this one is one of the best hockey romances out there. And since I’m addicted to both hockey and romance; I very much would like this to be shot into my veins if these claims are correct!

⚡Electric Idol by Katee Robert - I’m a KR stan, so the fact I haven’t gotten around to reading this one is truly a crime.

🍸Happy Hour by Piper Rayne - Also a huge PR stan. Honestly this writing duo is my favorite writing duo of all time hands down; and since I found out I own almost all of their books (I’m missing only 5) annnddd almost all of their audiobooks are on scribd; I’ve made it my personal mission to complete there backlist! This is the last book in the Charity Case Series (which I highly recommend).

🧝🏽‍♀️The Fae King’s Curse by Jamie Schlosser - You all know that this book has been on my TBR and my FYP since March, so it’s about damn time I actually alleviate my FOMO and calm my curiosity and finally read this one!

😻Visions of Heat by Nalini Singh - I CANNOT STOP MY LOVE TRAIN FOR THIS SERIES!!! It seriously upsets me that I am just now getting to the second book of the series, but now I wont have any excuse to NOT demolish this serotonin in a square gem!

#QOTD: What is your current read?

I can finally say, after years of collecting and never reading, that I've read something from Nalini Singh. And y'all...I understand the hype around her now. After the persuasion nudging of the lovely @bookishlyruby , and my chronic case of FOMO, I jumped into the world of Psys and Changelings, and holy shitballs y'all I'm OBESSESED.

Slave to Sensation is the first book in the Psy-Changeling series, and tells the story of Sascha and Lucas. In this world there are three different types of species: Ordinary humans, Changelings (think shape-shifters), and the Psy (think Vulcans on acid). Our girl Sascha is a Cardinal Psy (Top Tier Psy) who has had to hide her "flaw" of feeling and craving sensation her entire life. Our boy, Lucas, on the other hand, is a Leopard Changeling from the DarkRiver Pack (and the Alpha to boot 😏) who is on the hunt for the murderer of several young changeling girls. But when given the opportunity to infiltrate the Psy’s inner circle, he finds himself and his inner animal completely intrigued by the Psy with a secret.

Y'all when I tell you I read this earlier this month and I STILL am thinking of this book to this 21st dayyyy!!!! I know I have absolutely nothing to compare this statement too, but I feel like Nalini put her entire soul, foot, and hands into this story. I was completely engaged from start to finish, and the only reason I haven't started the next one yet, is because I'm swamped with Buddy Reads and what is time management?

From the world building to the character development--everything was chef kisses and I'm eager to see how this series develops as we go on. I've got my full review up on my blog (Linked in Bio) if you'd like to know more of my thoughts on this Paranormal/Science Fiction romance (which you totally should want to, because this is easily a top 2022 read for me).

#QOTD: What's the book you really want to read but keep putting off?
.
For me, its Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh. I own almost Singh's entire backlist but have never read a single thing from her. I've heard so many good things about her and the series, but I just keep pushing it off for something else. Hopefully this month I can officially change that! 🤞🏽
