Let It Crow! Let It Crow! Let It Crow! by Donna Andrews ~ Review

by Donna Huber

Meg has been roped into participating in a weaponsmithing competition, a Forged in Fire wannabe organized by a blacksmith friend. Meg originally turned down an invitation to participate, but the night before the filming starts, someone attacks Faulk, her blacksmithing mentor, breaking his arm and eliminating him from the contest before it begins. Meg agrees to step in as his replacement to keep the project from failing. She's not thrilled that the filming will take place during December – Christmas is already a crazy time for her. Since the competition is taking place on Ragnarshjem, the picturesque estate that her friend Ragnar, the retired heavy metal drummer, is turning into a Goth castle, Meg won’t have to spend Christmas alone and gets to bring Michael and her twin sons with her.

The Other Crown by Emmanuella Hristova ~ a Review

by MK French

The Other Crown is a poetry collection addressing love, romance, and sex from a woman's perspective. Relationships are complicated, especially when there's the potential of heartbreak or friendships layered with pain or suspicion. The verses appear sparse, allowing the reader to also fill in the empty spaces, bringing their own emotions and past lives into the reading.
