In March I finished up 3 books that I had started reading in February, completely read 8 books and 3 novellas, and started two other books that I'm still in the process of reading. I had planned on reading A Drop of Corruption (Shadow of the Leviathan #2) by Robert Jackson Bennett this month, but decided to push it to April. I also haven't yet started The Poisoner's Ring (A Rip Through Time #2) by Kelley Armstrong but will get to that one first thing in April.
These are the books I started in February that I finished this month-
Magic Bleeds (Kate Daniels #4) by Ilona Andrews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Content: Strong language, Some gore and violence, One sex scene
Reread with the husband. Still 4 stars.
Original comments- I love Kate and Curran together. I wasn't sure how I would like it once
the sexual tension ended and they finally got together, but it works
really well. I love the whole alpha male who shows his tender side to
the woman he loves.
A Rip Through Time (A Rip Through Time #1) by Kelley Armstrong
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Fantasy, Mystery
Content: Clean as far as I can remember
I really enjoyed this mash-up of the mystery and fantasy genres. I liked the time travel element and there were a couple of surprises. I'm looking forward to seeing where this series goes.
Age of the King (The Echoes Saga #6) by Philip C. Quaintrell
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Fantasy
Content: Strong language
These are the books and Novellas I read this month-
Kingscastle by Sophia Holloway
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Romance, Historical Romance
Content: Clean
This one was almost as good as Celia by this author which I rated 5 stars. I loved this!
Her Charming Distraction (A Change in Plans #2) by Rachel John
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Romance, Contemporary Romance, clean romance
Content: Clean
This was a nice sequel to The Start of Us. I didn't think it was quite as good as that one, but I appreciated the way the author wrote these characters. They talked to each other and avoided to usual 'misunderstands' trope that is so present in romance novels. Everything the character did in this book made sense to me and I loved that!
The 3:00 A.M. Series (Henry Bins Books 1-5) by Nick Pirog
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Mystery, Sci-fi, Suspense, Political intrigue
Content: Strong Language
This was a reread of the first 5 books (which were actually novellas) in this series. Because it had been so long since i read it, I wanted a refresher before reading book 6. I originally gave this 3 stars but I'm bumping my rating up to 3.5 this time. Also, After rereading this I think the cat thing is purely in his head, as in he is just pretending to hold conversations with the cat. You can see my original review here.
3:53 A.M. (Henry Bins #6) by Nick Pirog
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Mystery, Sci-fi, Suspense, Political intrigue
Content: Strong Language
There were some big revelations in this one. Some of them I liked and others I didn't like. There will be one final book and I hope the author doesn't take too long to publish it because I don't want to have to do another reread to remember what has already happened. It was 7 years between books 5 and 6!
More good stories from Curran’s point of view. I love
that we get to finally know what was happening on his end during these events.
Curran's POV Collection: Magic Bleeds- Naked Dinner (World of Kate Daniels) by Gordon Andrews

Category: Adult
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Content: Strong language
Curran's POV Collection: Magic Bleeds- Conclave (World of Kate Daniels) by Gordon Andrews

Content: Strong language
Curran's POV Collection: Magic Bleeds- Awake (World of Kate Daniels) by Gordon Andrews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Content: Strong language
Protector of Her Heart (A Change in Plans #3) by Rachel John
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Romance, Contemporary Romance, clean romance
Content: Clean
This was probably the weakest book in the series. The characters danced around each other for way too long! Both were afraid to say how they felt and it got old. I complemented this author on her first two books in this series because she didn't go that route, but this time it was the same old romance tropes.
Pretending He's Mine (A Change in Plans #4) by Rachel John
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Romance, Contemporary Romance, clean romance
Content: Clean
Still too much not talking to each other in this one, but it was better than the previous book. I'm interested in reading other things by this author because I know she can write a good romance with characters who actually communicate with each other.
Trouble Walked In by Mike Kupari
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Category: Adult
Genre: Sci-fi, Mystery
Content: Strong language
This reminded me a lot of The Icarus Hunt. I enjoyed this and would read more by this author.
The Tides of Time (Storm Tide #1) by Sarah M. Eden
See my review here.
These are the books I've started but not finished-
Everyone on This Train Is a Suspect (Ernest Cunningham #2) by Benjamin Stevenson
Deliverer (Foreigner #9) by C.J. Cherryh
