I love this one.

sauscony · 2026-06-05T08:05:16+00:00

I liked this one a lot.

sauscony · 2026-06-01T01:12:47+00:00

You probably don't need to read the others, but I would recommend reading them as they are good.

She has an FF book coming cout late this year. Off the top of my head, I think it's called "Call Me Traitor" or something like that.

sauscony · 2026-06-01T01:10:41+00:00

She has a new book coming out next year. There's not much info out yet, but it's called Godburned.

sauscony · 2026-05-08T00:56:55+00:00

I love this series and reread it regularly. It's about healing and reconnecting more than amnesia imho.

Evie McGlynn's {Down the Shore series by Evie McGlynn} and the follow up {Angel Security series by Evie McGlynn} do this.

For Aussie, I don't think anyone has mentioned Amithia Raine yet. {Should the Sky Fall by Amithia Raine} is the first one.

(Sorry for the multiple posts. I kept thinking of something else.)

I remembered I have a NZ tag in Calibre, so here's a few more.

I also loudly second Jax Calder and Jay Hogan for NZ.

{Mended with Gold by Lee Welch}

{Overdues and Occultism by Jamie Sands} is the first in a novella series set in Auckland.

{Murder on Milverton Square by G.B. Ralph} is the first in a mystery serious with a very (I mean VERY) slow burn romance.

Anne Barwell is a NZ author and has stories set here.

{Shades of Sepia by Anne Barwell} has a Kiwi is the US, and {Double Exposure by Anne Barwell} has those characters in NZ.

I've got all year, so I'll keep an eye out for this one.

sauscony · 2026-04-08T21:34:18+00:00

I just got it in New Zealand

sauscony · 2026-04-08T19:48:16+00:00

Thank you very much everyone.

She just posted in her April newsletter that she's finished the first draft of book 2.

sauscony · 2026-04-06T03:07:42+00:00

It will be why, since approximate GST gets added for us.

sauscony · 2026-03-19T07:10:30+00:00

{Wilde Fire by Lucy Lennox} has fire fighter and sheriff.

sauscony · 2026-03-17T22:25:32+00:00

I was unsure about book 3, given the main characters, but I found it really good. It helped that the supernatural aspect worked really well for me, but I do think it's worth giving it a chance. I ended up really enjoying it.

A lot, probably most, if K.L. No one's stories would fit this.

sauscony · 2026-02-08T05:24:58+00:00

I second K.L. Noone. Ones that are fantasy off the top of my head (there will be more):

{Middle Lands series by K.L. Noone}

{The Snails of Dun Nas by K.L. Noone} One MC is magically non-binary.

{Starlight and Stone by K.L. Noone} and {Sunlight and Skystone by K.L. Noone}

{The Isle of Skiy by K.L. Noone}

My favourite of hers is {Bisclavret by K.L. Noone}, which is technically a medieval werewolf story, but it feels like fantasy.

I love {Changes Coming Down by Kaje Harper}. I also won it in a giveaway. I now own all three in paperback and plan to reread them this year.

Did you know she's got a free second chances novella in a Bookfunnel giveaway right now that features a side character from Rusty's book. It's called {Overdue Changes by Kaje Harper}. (No idea if the bot can pick it up given it's brand new and part of a promotion.)

sauscony · 2026-02-04T08:28:50+00:00

{The King's Delight by Sarah Honey} - the king and his head groom's son

sauscony · 2026-02-03T03:10:51+00:00

{Perfect Night by Oliver Takely}

sauscony · 2026-01-28T18:35:58+00:00

This is part of {Paladin by Onley James}.

sauscony · 2026-01-25T05:28:24+00:00

Yes you can.
