Tyrant – A Book Review

Is there anything more delicious than getting to read an ARC of the new book by one of your favourite authors? Buckle up, fellow readers, because I got to read Tyrant from Sarah Bailey and oooooh boy, it was good!

The standard ARC disclaimer goes here: I did receive a copy of this book for free with the caveat that I would then provide a review of said book. There was no guarantee or requirement for me to provide a positive review – I’m doing that just because I really liked it.

Also, there are some minor spoilers below. I’m not writing out whole paragraphs detailing the plot and the ending or anything, but I am going to reference a couple of quotes and a favourite scene or two. If you would rather go in completely spoiler-free, you may want to avoid my full review.

New Releases for October 18-24, 2021

There’s a new Lori Foster novel this month!!!!! That is all, thank you for your attention.

Seriously, though. Lori Foster is one of those authors for me, the one who’s books always get put on my shelf no matter what. This week’s “new” release is actually a re-release of one of her older works. I seriously don’t care. I’m grabbing it and curling up with it anyways.

Here are some of the new releases that I’m looking forward to adding to my Kindle this week. Is there anything here that you find interesting? I would love to hear what everyone else is reading. Drop a note in the comments and fill me in!
