Music has always played a big part of my life. However, I’ve never really nailed down one particular genre, or artist that sums up the soundtrack of my life.

Lucifer is using Michael’s anguish to drive his own agenda… Continue reading #BookReview The Devil’s Lieutenant by Shervin Jamali #RBRT #TuesdayBookBlog

#BookReview Cursed Love Blues by Kate Wickens #TuesdayBookBlog #RBRT

Title: Cursed Love Blues Author: Kate Wickens My Rating: 3.5 Stars My Review: Cursed Love Blues has it all; gods and goddesses, lots of sex, music, and even vampires! The author doesn’t hold back with her descriptive prose, and this novel is, therefore, far from a clean read. Ate is a disgraced goddess who is… Continue reading #BookReview Cursed Love Blues by Kate Wickens #TuesdayBookBlog #RBRT
