The Everlasting is the story of Owen Mallory traveling in time loops to meet Sir Una Everlasting, a lady knight, and help make sure she lives up to the hype she is known for in Owen’s own time period.  What Owen didn’t plan on was that he must write and re-write Sir Una’s story until he gets it right, or that he would fall in love Sir Una time and time again.

An unintentional escape into the fantasy realm (I had other plans) led me to read solely fantasy books in the month of February.  Fear not, it wasn’t all Romantasy.  I read a Medieval Horror book and a Dark Gothic Fantasy novel, a first time reading experience for me for either genre.  And yes, yes I may have found my first 5 star read of 2026.  Here’s my February Archive: Every Book I Read in February.

Full reviews on my Blog and YouTube channel.

What a way to start the year.  Here’s what I read in January.  I “read” the first series that I DNF’d.  I kept reading each book but became more disappointed the further I went on.  There was potential and I kept hoping the story would take off, but it never did for me…

From the first line to the last, I was hooked and I did not care whether I ate or slept.  The world building, magic system, and of course, the character reveals along the way kept me reading straight through to the end before I even realized I was there. 

“The Primal of Blood and Bone” by Jennifer L. Armentrout took me on a wonderful ride I thought I was thoroughly prepared for and yet it still had me undone at the end. 

While so many of my suspicions were answered, they were immediately replaced with feelings of “well that complicates things” and “wait, where’s so-and-so” to “great, now what?”

In the end I was left taking the biggest deep breath of my life.

I highly recommend reading the Primal of Blood and Bone by Jennifer L. Armentrout, but only after you’ve caught up and have read the other books in the Blood and Ash series, as well as the Flesh and Fire prequel series. 

I spent the afternoon with 5 romantasy authors and 200 of their dedicated readers in Chicago at the first-ever Romance Fantasy Author Meetup!

I recently stumbled upon the Romance Fantasy genre in late 2024 after seeing so many influencers reading A Court Of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR).  As a diehard fan of the fantasy fiction genre, I wanted to give  reading ACOTAR a try.  Like thousands before me, I read ACOTAR once and I became hooked.  The more of the ACOTAR book series  I read, I realized that the Fantasy Romance genre is incredibly diverse, full of dynamic tropes, omitting nothing.  From standalone novels to interconnected series in one universe, the romantic fantasy genre may appease to every reader.  

What makes the genre so special to me is that it offers the escapism and adventure I crave and enjoy so much.  After a long day at my 9 to 5 job, I can’t wait to get home, put on my cozy pajamas, and cuddle with my dogs under blankets and read.
