Spies, criminal investigators, and criminals are all like catnip for me and I have been itching to get my greedy paws on Sebastien’s book since the first book in the series. Paired with my fascination with Princess Anastasia and I was smitten. I loved Anya! She is exactly the sort of heroine I enjoy rooting for.

Review: The Earl of Christmas ..

I’m beginning to wonder if Kerrigan Byrne will ever write something I’m not a huge fan of. The Earl of Christmas Past was such a fun spin on a Victorian holiday haunting! I haven’t seen many paranormal historicals, but I am absolutely here for it. Even as a short holiday novella, Byrne expertly wove interesting backgrounds for Vanessa and John. Vanessa’s burning curiosity about John’s situation after the initial scare was so much fun. Coupled with her love of photography, […]
